Lawn Fawn Into Tuesday!

Phew! Birthday madness is over with! 
The Maleficent party went really well, I had a lot of fun creating stuff for it.
Now back to CARDS!!! 
I got to break out my Lawn Fawn Into the Woods stamp set for this one.
 This fox is by far my favorite critter from this set. 
I nestled him inside the cut out circle, created my own pattern background on the desert storm cardstock using SSS Khaki ink and the little leaf from the set.
 As you can see here my embossing got really messy this time, which I haven't really had an issue with in a long time so I'm not quite sure what happened there. 

I mounted the wood pattern paper directly to the green cardstock and die cut a circle from the top center.
Then I popped the whole panel up on dimensionals.
I don't know if I really colored him accurately like a fox but I do love how he turned out. The blending came out better than I anticipated since using colors that didn't really blend well together.
Well that is the card for today. I just got my new Erin Condren Life Planner in the mail today!
 Eeeek! I'm in love! Going to plan out a lot more time for crafting and blogging!

Happy Hump Day!

Good morning! I wanted to hop on here and get this up before we leave for the day.
The hubs and I are taking the girls to Legoland for our oldests birthday!
They have no idea and have never been so it's pretty exciting.
I created this little card using my new lawn fawn stamps and dies
I bought in my recent SSS haul. 
This set is the "Love You Smore" stamps & dies.
For some reason they wouldn't link up below so I'll link them above.


Isn't that little s'more adorable? 
I kept is very simple, stamped the images on scrap neenah cardstock, colored and cut them out using their coordinating dies. Then adhering them straight onto the cardstock with a little Tombow Mono Multi and added some Wink of Stella to the flames.


I decided to leave the inside of this card blank to leave plenty of room to personalize it.
The sentiment came from the same stamp set.
I just pieced it together how I wanted it and stamped it using Versafine ink.


Just look at that smiling s'more! He's just to cute for words. 
He looks so perfectly toasty too, now I want a s'more.
Oh wait! I have s'more granola bars in the pantry, I know what this momma is having on the ride up to Legoland!
Hope you all enjoyed and have s'more fun today.

Make a card Monday!

 Happy Monday everyone! Today I have a card to share with you for MACM. I'm kind of loving these portholes (just in case that wasn't obvious from my previous card)
So I just received a new order from SSS which included Paper Smooches Nauticool stamps and coordinating dies so I went to work! Combing both the Nauticool and the Briny Blue stamps I created this adorable little card.
Both Simon Says Stamp and Paper Smooches have Anything Goes challenges up this week so this little guy is going to be splashing along in those challenges. I encourage you to join in the fun as well because the winner for either challenge gets fabulously spoiled :D

 I couldn't find any of my wood grain cardstock, but I wasn't about to let that stop me! I pulled out my Hero Arts woodgrain background stamp and created my own using versamark and white embossing powder. and I really like how it turned out.
I, of course, still did not have acetate so I just cut a circle from some plastic packaging that I was no longer using for my porthole window.


 The only gold brads I had were way too large for what I wanted so instead I took some pastel yellow ones, coated them in versamark and gold embossing powder and vwalla! Pretty gold brads and everyone is none the wiser ;)
I stamped the dolphin onto a scrap of Neenah cardstock, copic colored him and masked him off.  Then taking my round blending tool I added in the water using some distress ink.
I attached the small scrap to the hole behind the woodgrain stamped cardstock. I decided to add some natural twine from Lawn Fawn to add to the nautical look. I pierced a hole above and below the circle hole and threaded it into the top and bottom. 
Once my twine was secure I attached the porthole using some foam adhesive.
The little anchor and life preserver provided the perfect little accents.
 I stamped my sentiment from the AmyR Oh So Beachy sentiments onto a scrap of white cardstock, cut a tail end and lightly sponged the edges using the same ink from the water.
Then I used more foam adhesive and attached the woodgrain piece to the blue Bazzill card base, stamped another sentiment inside the card using the same stamp set, and that finishes the card for today.
