the current challenge is all about that BINGO card!

Just Plane Awesome Card by Samantha M for Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, Lawn Fawn, Handmade Cards, Distress Inks, Rainbow, Mice, Card Making, Die Cutting, Plane, #lawnfawnatics #lawnfawn #distressinks #inkblending #cardmaking #mice #cards

I couldn't resist coloring up the mice from Just Plane Awesome, You Autumn Know and Bubbles of Joy! I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! I also added some details with a white gel pen.

for the background, I used Mermaid Cardstock for the base of the sky, and Cilantro Cardstock for the base of the grass! I used Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend on top of the cardstock. I die cut out the grass with the Stitched Hillside Borders and Grassy Border Die Sets. I used Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon to add color to the sky. and I used Pine Needles and Mowed Lawn for the grass!

I used white embossing paste and the Cloud Background Stencils to add some texture and pops of white!
I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. and then I popped it up with foam tape. I also popped up a few of the mice with foam tape too!

be sure to check this card out on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog, and play along, too!
enjoy!

Kanga-riffic Card!

hello and happy Sunday!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog using some of the newest stamp sets!
and BONUS! I made a video to go with it! you can watch it by clicking here, or checking out my youtube channel!

so fun!
I just love these cute kangaroos!
I stamped the images from Kanga-riffic, Kanga-riffic Add-on and Mermaid for You and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
once all of the images were colored, I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies!

Hopping By...Card by Samantha M for Lawn Fawn, Distress Inks, Peekaboo Pop Up, Interactive Card, Card Making, Handmade Cards, Kangaroo, #lawnfawn #youtube #youtubevideo #tutorial #cardmaking #peekaboopopup #distressinks

then I die cut out the card with the Peekaboo Pop-Up dies and did some ink blending! I used Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina for the base, and then Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the grass and hill! I also splattered some white and ink color to the hill to make it look like sand! the grass layer was die cut with the Grassy Borders after being die cut with the Peekaboo Pop-Up!

Hopping By...Card by Samantha M for Lawn Fawn, Distress Inks, Peekaboo Pop Up, Interactive Card, Card Making, Handmade Cards, Kangaroo, #lawnfawn #youtube #youtubevideo #tutorial #cardmaking #peekaboopopup #distressinks

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto the blue card base.
then I put the card bases together (SO EASY) and then it was time to place the images for my card! nothing was popped up with foam tape, it was all glued together.
