Pattern Palooza!

By KariV on August 10, 2016 in Paper Crafting

I certainly used a lot of patterns on this one! Had some fun, too. These are almost all Lawn Fawn papers and stamps. Notice the polka dot wings on the fairies (good thing I didn’t add that to their skin…hello, chickenpox!). Notice the pattern on the mushrooms. Notice the pattern of the sky, grass, and background.

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for this fun challenge!

Happy Little Spot on Cloud 9

By KariV on August 25, 2014 in Paper Crafting

Today is my Dad’s birthday. He likes bears…so this card was made just for him.

I love that little panda! The cloud he’s sitting on is embossed in silver embossing powder, and the stars and banner were cut with silver glitter paper. Those clouds with all different designs are so awesome (Neat and Tangled) and when I saw them, I just knew I had to have them!

By the way, I gave this card to my Dad at his birthday lunch today and he LOVED it. I just knew the panda bear would be a hit! 😉

Linking up with the Pretty Pink Posh Cutting Edge challenge.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Neat and Tangled Clouds; Mama Elephant Pandamonium; American Crafts Cloud 9;
Dies: Mama Elephant Pandamonium; Lawn Fawn Stitched Journaling card;
Embossing Powders: Silver
Inks: Stampin Up! Pool Party; Distress Ink Salty Ocean;

Hippo Birdie

By KariV on August 19, 2014 in Paper Crafting, Uncategorized

This Lawn Fawn stamp set is adorable, and I haven’t had the chance to ink it up until now! It was my son’s birthday this week (he’s 24…I can’t believe it!) If you know me at all, then you know that I STRUGGLE with masculine cards. I mean I have to really focus!

But Jennifer McGuire inspired me (Stretch Your Stamps 2) to make some metal-looking accents and I think it fits the bill for this card. I used more “manly” papers…like this newsprint paper from 7 Gypsies and some black and gold accents.

Then I had a little fun with the hippo, birdie, and balloon. I mean…it’s a BIRTHDAY card, right?

See those metal accents? It’s just paper and embossing powder (embossed 3x while it was still hot). So cool. That Jennifer is truly inspired. She made an embossed small square background and then stamped on top of that, but I thought these little arrows would be a neat looking accent embossed multiple times like she showed. This is an especially handy technique if you don’t have any wood pieces or embellishments. 😉

I also used Lawn Fawn’s grass border, using the same black and newsprint papers. I think the card turned out masculine, don’t you? (Well, at the very least its much less feminine!)

My son was impressed with those metal accents and he also liked the embossed words. 🙂

I added a little glossy accents on that balloon, wink of stella on the bird, and some gold sakura pen around the speech bubble. I also ruffled up that grass a little to bring a little more texture to the card.

Stretch Your Stamps Day 3 — Stamped die cuts

By KariV on August 6, 2014 in Paper Crafting

This online card class is so much fun! I’m loving how to learn to “Stretch Your Stamps” and today I was inspired by Debby Hughes. She is a master at clean and simple, and I think my card turned into a little bit more…it actually may be a mix between Debby’s class and Stephanie Klauck’s instruction.

Here is my card:

I used Milo’s ABCs (Lawn Fawn) on the grassy hill to add some punch! The “hello” sentiment is stamped with VersaMark Onyx black ink, then embossed with sparkle embossing powder. The die cuts are from Simon Says Stamp…and I die cut the sun out of yellow cardstock and then inked up the edges with orange marmalade Distress Ink.

At first I used some Wink of Stella on the sunshine die cut, but I didn’t think it added enough glitter. So I brought out the stickles! Finished it off with some gold and sparkling clear (Pretty Pink Posh) sequins.

I hope you like this happy card! I tend to LOVE anything sunshiny! 🙂
