Clearly Besotted Gorjuss Lawn Fawn Stamping

Best Wishes (Gorjuss)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Today I have three cards to share using the Gorjuss stamp set Toadstools. I have had so many ideas buzzing through my head for this set but I’ve decided to limit it (for now!) to three cards. For this series, I have essentially used the same card design but I’ve switched up the colour schemes for each. I think this card set illustrates that simply by changing the colour palette you use, without even changing the design too much, you can end up with a completely different feel. Imagine how many different card looks you can get when you switch up the design as well?! I totally love how versatile stamps are!

For my first card, I had been playing around with the blues and greys on her outfit which prompted me to put her in a winter scene.

Here’s the card…

Best Wishes
Materials used: Stamps – Toadstools (Gorjuss/DoCrafts), Joy to the Woods (Lawn Fawn), A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 13 (My Favourite Things), Stitched Hillside Borders (Lawn Fawn), Circles (Sizzix); Copic Markers, and Distress Inks.

I decided then to add a bit more colour and a dark night sky was born along with rich green rolling hills. Love the colours of the background.

Here’s the card…

Materials used: Stamps – Toadstools (Gorjuss/DoCrafts), Joy to the Woods (Lawn Fawn), A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 13 (My Favourite Things), Stitched Hillside Borders, Let’s Bokeh (Lawn Fawn); Copic Markers, Distress Inks and Wink of Stella.

For the final card, I realised I had yet to use the little critter and the toadstools from the set. Of course that had to be remedied immediately. The toadstools are super cute. I had been tempted to go with a darker colour palette but eventually decided on more of a spring time theme.

Here’s the card…

Just Because
Materials used: Stamps – Toadstools (Gorjuss/DoCrafts), Joy to the Woods (Lawn Fawn), A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 13 (My Favourite Things), Stitched Hillside Borders, Let’s Bokeh (Lawn Fawn); Copic Markers, Distress Inks and Wink of Stella.

So, there you have it – one stamp set, one basic card design and three different cards. They were so fun to make and I hope you enjoy viewing the cards today.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Lawn Fawn Stamping

Enjoy your day (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Yikes! Has it really been so long since I last blogged? I haven’t been idle creatively during this blogging hiatus. I’ve spent time colouring and playing (and organising!) rather than actually turning anything into finished projects.

On Friday I said to a friend of mine that this weekend I was actually going to finish a card! I even knew from the outset what I was going to make. So here we are at Sunday night and I have a pile full of coloured images and ONE card! The card is very much a “Kylie” card as I have been wanting to make a few more cards in this style. I guess that is a bit of a warning that there will be more like this to come. lol

Whilst so many in the cardmaking realm have switched their attention to Christmas, Halloween and Thanksgiving, I have actually been wanting to make a card using Lawn Fawn’s Happy Easter stamp set. The little bunnies look so happy and I wanted to create a little scene with them frolicking in a spring or autumn setting. Having decided to have white bunnies and a white picket fence, the card became quite flat so I switched out my bunnies in favour of two cute puppies from the Critters at the Dog Park stamp set. The bunnies are waiting here patiently for their turn to shine on another card.

Here’s the card…

Enjoy Your Day
Materials used: Stamps – Critters at the Dog Park, Critters from the Past, Critters on the Farm, Let’s Play and Starry Backdrops (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Project Life (Becky Higgins); Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights; Distress Ink; Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.

Oh and tip of the day, if you are a fan of the Wink of Stella glitter brushes (and who isn’t?!) make sure you check which colour of brush you are using before you start colouring. I picked up what I thought was the clear glitter brush to colour the butterfly, heart and flowers. I couldn’t work out why they then turned a milky colour. Seems I grabbed the white glitter brush instead of the clear. Oops!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and as the card says – Enjoy your day!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Lawn Fawn

Life is Good (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Usually when I make ‘scene’ type cards I fussy cut out my stamped and coloured images and pop them onto the base cardstock. My cards tend to have a lot of layers and dimension. This also gives me the flexibility to move items around. As it had been quite a while since I experimented with masking, I thought it was time to give it another go and this time my goal was to create a one layer scene card. The Lawn Fawn set Year Five was still on my table so I decided to create another card using this image. The logical pairing (in my mind) was the Life is Good stamp set, also by Lawn Fawn. I had a rough idea of my design before I started but I still mixed up my layers twice before I finally stamped them all in the correct order. The scene turned out to be super cute, I think. The scene itself is flat but I couldn’t help myself – I *had* to pop the panel up using mounting tape! lol

Here’s the first card…

Life is good
Materials used: Stamps – Life is Good, Year Five (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; and Copic Markers.

I couldn’t just stop at one card though as it was just too much fun to colour. I made another card which was almost identical to the one above so I won’t share that one. I then decided I wanted to spice the card up a little more.

Here’s the second card…

Life is good
Materials used: Stamps – Life is Good, Year Five (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 13, Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Doodlebug Design; Designer Paper – Sunkissed (Doodlebug Design), Twine (Stampin’ Up!) and Copic Markers.

Of course, I couldn’t stop with this design so I had to make another. Whilst this card does have a few layers, I didn’t pop up any of them – how unusual! lol

Here’s the card…

Relax
Materials used: Stamps – Life is Good, Year Five (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 13, Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Designer Paper – Sunkissed (Doodlebug Design), and Copic Markers.

I had so much fun creating these cards and I really hope you enjoy them too. I had recorded a video to go with this post but it went a little wonky. Hopefully I will have another video to share soon. Thanks so much 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

You Rock! (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Do you ever look at a stamp set and think…yeah, I know it is supposed to be used in a certain way but all I can see is it being used in this different way? That’s what happened with me and the monkey from the Critters in the Jungle stamp set from Lawn Fawn! I know he’s supposed to be swinging through the jungle but to me, the little guy has the urge to get down and boogie. lol

Fortunately, I also have the Stay Tuned stamp set which has a radio in it and which had also been crying out to be used. I’ve had it for a while but I’m not very good with solid images so kept putting it aside in favour of stamps to colour. The scale of size between the radio and the monkey had me slightly concerned at first but then I realised there are so many different sized monkeys and it really wouldn’t matter.

I also really wanted to stamp the little guy a friend to dance with but I just could not master reverse stamping. I’ve tried many times over the years but that is one thing which I have just never been able to do successfully. Anyway, enough chitter chatter. Let’s get onto the two cards I made today.

Here’s the first card…

You Rock
Materials used: Stamps – Texture: Sheet Music (KaiserCraft), Critters in the Jungle, Stay Tuned (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights; Copic Markers; Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 7, Die-namics Blueprints 13 (MFT); Pearls – Black (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

Here’s the second card….

You Rock!
Materials used: Stamps – Texture: Sheet Music (KaiserCraft), Critters in the Jungle, Stay Tuned (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights; Copic Markers; Dies – Creative Cuts – Landscape Trio (Mama Elephant), Pierced Rectangle Stax, Die-namics Blueprints 13 (MFT); and Mini Pearls – Spring Assortment (Doodlebug Design).

So cute! Can you imagine the little monkey on one of those action wobblers? I don’t have any but I think it would be the cutest thing ever.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!

You’re Dino-mite (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Today marks the last, for now, of my cards using the Critters from the Past stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I still have lots of stamped and coloured images in my stash (and now have a little container to store them for future use!) but thought I’d use a few other stamp sets so they don’t feel unloved. lol

Here’s the card…

You’re Dino-mite
Materials used: Stamps – Critters from the Past (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Custom Panels Die (Avery Elle), Project Life (Becky Higgins), Stitched Hillside Borders (Lawn Fawn), Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Embossing Folder – Waffle (Sizzix); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights Smooth, Unknown; Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.

Just a super simple scene. I don’t know if you can see it in the photograph but the white edge was stamped with the dinosaur footprints. It’s subtle but adds just a little bit more interest.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Stamping!

You’re Dino-mite Shaker Card (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Today I’m sharing another card using the super cute dinosaurs from the Lawn Fawn stamp set “Critters from the Past“. I stamped and coloured so many of the images the other day. You can expect to see another dinosaur card again very, very soon.

For today’s card I decided it was time to make a shaker card. They have been all the buzz in recent months but I kept resisting joining in. It has been *years* since I last made a shaker card. It’s so fun though and I won’t leave it so long until I make another. I cut out lots of leaves to go in the centre to shake around. I really like the look.

Here’s the card…

You’re Dino-mite
Materials used: Stamps – Critters from the Past (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Custom Panels Die (Avery Elle), Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights Smooth,; and Copic Markers.

And another view…

You’re Dino-Mite

That’s all for today. Hope you have had a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Cards Lawn Fawn

You’re Dino-mite (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I have been having sooo much fun colouring the adorable images from the Lawn Fawn stamp set “Critters from the Past“. I have started to turn the images into cards. Over the next couple of days, I will share some more of my card creations.

First up…

You’re Dino-mite
Materials used: Stamps – Critters from the Past (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 7, Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Unknown; and Copic Markers.

I think this is what I would call a typical “Kylie” card – a nice little scene card. I really wanted to add an orange panel under the scene but I just couldn’t find/make the right shade. Decided to go with the coordinating purple instead. It is quite a soft card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Reach for the sky (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the nice comments regarding the view I have when I create from my last post. His name is Zac and he’s my 10 year old border collie. He doesn’t realise he’s 10 though as he still acts like a puppy. Love him to pieces.

I’ve been challenging myself to not get carried away with all the new products which are constantly being released onto the market. I *love* so many of the new products but I am finding that I am not using older products and some of them haven’t actually been used much, if at all. I’m trying to find the happy balance between old and new. lol Isn’t that the constant battle for the hobbyist?! Flipping through my Lawn Fawn stamps the other day I came across the Sunny Skies stamp set and realised I hadn’t used it in AGES and felt drawn to have a little play. As I always stamp up multiple images, I was able to create four cards. They are pretty similar but I’ll share them all below.

Here’s the first card…

Reach for the sky
Materials used: Stamps – Sunny Skies (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Sunny Skies (Lawn Fawn), In & Out Diagonal Stitched Rectangle STAX (MFT); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Designer Paper – Rise & Shine (Amy Tangerine/American Crafts), and Wink of Stella.

Here’s the second card…

Here’s the third card…

Soar
Materials used: Stamps – Sunny Skies, Violet’s ABC’s (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Sunny Skies (Lawn Fawn), Pierced Rectangle STAX (MFT); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Designer Paper – Rise & Shine (Amy Tangerine/American Crafts), Happy Snaps (KaiserCraft); and Hero Arts Shadow Ink – Soft Pool (Hero Arts).

And the last card…

Reach for the sky
Materials used: Stamps – Chevron Backdrops, Hello Baby, Hello Sunshine, Sunny Skies (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Sunny Skies (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Designer Paper – Rise & Shine (Amy Tangerine/American Crafts), Happy Snaps (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

If you liked the above you might also be interested in a couple of the cards I made when I first received the stamp set (see this post). The older cards are of a similar design however instead of paper piecing they were painted with distress inks.

And I’ll finish my post with a picture of what is on my desk now…I’ve been having a BLAST colouring!

Now to make them into cards…or just keep colouring. lol Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Bon Voyage Cards Lawn Fawn Stamping The Greeting Farm

Bon Voyage (TGF/Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I’m going to switch things up just a little bit today by using one of the other images which came in my Super Secret Stamp Club subscription from The Greeting Farm. As soon as I saw Honey I thought how cute she would be as an air hostess or in a diner from the 60’s. (I did have to cover the little skull which featured in her hair ribbon as that didn’t quite fit in with the images I was picturing). I do keep hunting for some diner style stamps to go with her – stools up at a counter; a blackboard menu in the background – so cute! Or her standing by a window with planes lined up outside. lol Since I don’t have any stamps like that I went with a travel theme for my first card (yes, first card, I have coloured this image in quite a few times…still have three of the images waiting to find a card for them to live).

Here’s the card…

Bon Voyage
Materials used: Stamps – Bon Voyage (Lawn Fawn), Honey SSC No. 012 (The Greeting Farm); Designer Paper – 6″ Paper Pad – Pack Your Bags Collection (Kaiser Craft); Cardstock – KaiserCraft, Knights Smooth; Copic Markers; Shadow Ink Mid-Tone Cup O’ Joe (Hero Arts); Sparklets – Crystal (KaiserCraft); Dies – Die-Namics Blueprints 6 (My Favourite Things) and Wink of Stella.

It’s a little different from my usual style but I thought I might try and expand my repertoire – at least until I find those elusive diner stamps. 😉 lol

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!
