Jungle Friends Card Kit (MFT)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

It has been such a long time since I last posted. I apologise for my absence from the blogging world – partly imposed by computer issues and partly by life in general. I have been creating a little but more in the scrapbooking realm than the cardmaking one. Recently I was blessed to be chosen as a winner by My Favorite Things in one of their competitions. The prize was their May card kit “Jungle Friends”. Unfortunately, the kit is no longer available although my understanding is the individual components are released a few months later.

One of the exciting aspects of this kit is that it has a die which makes it so easy to create slider cards. I have made more than a few with the sliders as they are just so fun.

Here are six of the cards I’ve made using the card kit so far (and the kit still has many more patterned papers and cardstock leftover!)…

Thanks A Ton

Sorry I Snapped At You

Happy Birthday Party Animal

What’s Up?

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing some of my latest creations!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Doodlebug Design Lawn Fawn

Have an OTTERLY great birthday (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

As you all know Lawn Fawn make some of the cutest stamps and it is a sheer delight to create with them. The Year Five stamp set made it onto my *must have* list as soon as it was released and I couldn’t wait to have it in my hot little hands and start creating with it.

The design for this card popped into my head the minute I saw the stamp set. Originally, I had pictured the middle panel sitting on a white card base but when I placed it down it looked rather bland. I decided it needed a pop of colour! The Doodlebug Design paper pad (Sunkissed) I had used for the water had a lots of really bright background sheets and I thought I might try the beachball/sun page. There were a couple of reasons for choosing this paper – firstly, it matched the existing paper choices. lol Secondly, you might recall from my haul video I mentioned I really struggle using such busy patterned papers and I thought it was time to see if I could make it work. I think it works reasonably well.

(Oh, and you might also remember from the haul video where I purchased the foam paper to use to pop up my images instead of the mounting tape. Turns out I prefer the mounting tape. I can definitely understand why people might like to use the foam but at this stage, once I have used up the foam paper, I am going to be sticking with (no pun intended) the foam mounting tape.)

Here’s the card…

Have an OTTERLY lovely birthday
Materials used: Stamps – Year Two, Year Five (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Spring Showers, Ocean Waves Borders (Lawn Fawn), Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Designer Paper – Sunkissed (Doodlebug Design); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts, Doodlebug Design; Wink of Stella; Distress Inks; Copic Markers and Enamel Stickers – Blue (Francheville).

I hope you enjoyed this card. I’m off to use this same stamp set in a one layer card… well, I say one layer but you all know that I rarely do true one layer cards. Wish me luck!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Lawn Fawn Stamping The Greeting Farm

You Make Me Smile (The Greeting Farm/TGF)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

My fun with The Greeting Farm’s stamps continues! Today I’m sharing the last of the cards I have created using “Lavender”. I think I’ve saved the best until last. This card is certainly my favourite.

For this card, I decided to go with the “sweet” Lavender look so covered up the skull with a little enamel dot. I didn’t have a dot which matched the card so just coloured over it with my copic markers. Voila! Now it matches! There’s nothing too complicated about this card – it’s just a sweet little card.

Here’s the card…

You Make Me Smile
Materials used: Stamps – Lavender SSSC No. 011 (The Greeting Farm), A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted), A Birdy Told Me, Joy to the Woods, (Lawn Fawn); Copic Markers; Distress Ink; Cardstock – American Crafts, Knight Smooth; Patterned Paper – Snow Day Petite Paper Pack (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Spring Showers, Stitched Hillside Borders, (Lawn Fawn); Sugardot Stickers (Prima) and Wink of Stella.

Whilst I have finished playing with Lavender (for now!), I still have two other stamps from my Super Secret Stamp Club subscription from The Greeting Farm to play with so watch for some more new cards coming this week.

Happy Stamping!

Cards The Greeting Farm Thinking of You

Thinking of You (The Greeting Farm/TGF)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Today’s card is another variation using “Lavender” from The Greeting Farm’s Super Secret Stamp Club from last year. You can view two other cards created with this same stamp here.

While the little hairbow on Lavender features a skull, the design is otherwise cutesy. Simply by covering the little skull you could use the stamp in many different ways – so that is exactly what I did. Isn’t she darling!

Here’s the card…

Lavender
Materials used: Stamps – Lavender SSSC No. 011 (The Greeting Farm), A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted), Snow Day, (Lawn Fawn); Copic Markers; Distress Ink; Cardstock – American Crafts, Knight Smooth; Dies – Snow Day, Spring Showers, Stitched Hillside Borders, (Lawn Fawn), Die-Namics Blueprints 4 (My Favourite Things); Sparklets – Princess (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

So that’s my sweet and simple take using Lavender – nothing scary or halloween-y about her now. Love a versatile stamp!

Hope you all have a happy day!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Lawn Fawn Silhouette Stamping There She Goes Clear Stamps

Don’t Worry, they only want those with brains (TSG)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

While Halloween is over now, I’m not ready to stop playing with these cute “spooky” stamps. I’ve decided that if I don’t use sentiments which specifically refer to Halloween then there is no reason why I can’t keep using Halloween type images. lol I do have a few more images stamped up but – maybe it is time to turn my thoughts to other creations – I don’t know. Will see where the mojo leads.

For today’s card, I created another little scene. lol How I love them! As I really don’t have a lot of spooky themed stamps, I took the opportunity to play with my Silhouette Cameo which has, unfortunately, been sitting there gathering dust in recent months. I don’t have the space to keep it out at all times so it is a bit of a chore to get it out…but it is SO worth it! I reallllly needed this card to have a spooky tree and a rickety fence and the Silhouette store did not disappoint with the Spooky Trail die. In the end, the card came together quite easily and I really quite like it.

Here’s the card…

Don’t worry, they only want those with brains
Material used: Stamps – Hauntingly Delightful (There She Goes Clear Stamps); Dies – Spring Showers, Stitched Hillside Borders (Lawn Fawn), Circles (Sizzix), Die-namics Blueprints 5 (My Favourite Things), Spooky Trail (Silhouette); Cardstock – American Crafts, Doodlebug Design; Designer Paper – The Bewitched Bundle (DCWV); Distress Inks; Copic Markers; Pearls – Yellow (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

If you celebrate Halloween, I hope you had a fantastic time! I’m off to tidy my craft table and then hopefully create something else.

Happy Stamping!

Cards Lawn Fawn Stamping

I Ruff You (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Wow, that was an unintended and long break. Some days pass by so slowly but somehow the time still marches by rapidly. It’s a strange enigma.

When I sat at my craft table today, everything was (unsurprisingly) just as I had left it. lol I wondered why I hadn’t actually finished my card as it was pretty close to completion. Although having said that it still took me a while to put it all together. I really struggled over where to put the sentiment. In the end I just kept it super simple and I like how it fitted into the scene. I think the other ideas I had been toying with would have over-powered an already busy scene. It’s not the card I pictured in my imagination and I don’t love it at the moment but I am hoping that when I look at it in another day or so I will have a new appreciation for it.

Here’s the card…

I Ruff You
Materials used: Stamps – Critters at the Dog Park, Critters on the Farm (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Chit Chat Dies, Grassy Borders. Spring Showers, Stitched Hillside Borders, Sweater Weather (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – American Crafts, Doodlebug Design; Designer Paper – Birthday Mood Rings (KI Memories), Hello Sunshine (Kaiser Craft), Copic Makers, Glossy Accents and Wink of Stella.

I *love* Lawn Fawn stamps and I just adore creating little scenes with them. I love how each of the sets can work on their own but they can also mix and match so well too. It just extends the possibilities and that is such a good thing. More value for money, and who doesn’t love that!

Okay, I better go and try and finish the other partially completed card which is pushed off to the side of my desk. Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!
