Wednesday Blog featuring Lawn Fawn Stamps and Distress Oxides.

Hi There's Crafty Friends,
I hope you've enjoyed the long weekend. For some of us its half term, time to  spend more time in the craftroom. I have done a video on the Avery Elle Extraordinary Stamps step by step, The link to my channel is at the top of my blog. Also there is a link to Bumbleberrys, were you will find the Set in stock at the moment. Please subscribe to my youTube channel, were I will be showing tips and techniques. So I thought I would do a Lawn Fawn Card showcasing the Delightful Cute images from the You're Claw-some.https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/new-releases/products/youre-claw-some I just love this little grabbing machine, its going to be a popular stamp in this house.  I fell in love with it as soon as i saw the release. I was hot to order it!!!! and off course the dies.So here the card I made.

I decided to use the grabber machine another day, so using only the 3 tiny stamps Teddy x2 and Unicorn. I came up with this.Fun and playful design!

Step One

First I stamped the 3 stamps on masking paper and cut them out. I then Started stamping on watercolor paper building the design, using the masks to build a teddy tower. Then I added one unicorn on the top.

Step Two

I then took a piece of laminated cardstock and my Distress oxides and made a palette of colours. 

I then Started filling in the bears and Unicorn.

I cut them out, and added black gel pen to eyes and noses.

Step Three

I took a 6" x 6" card blank and used it as a top folding card. Using the MFT Cloud stencil I made a sky back ground.https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/stencil-cloud?variant=41285749642

I used Broken China Oxide and then I added Mini stars from the stamp set in Fossilised Amber and Memento Dandelion.

I  then attached the tower of bears on to the card blank.

Step Four

Finally I added a sentiment,On to black card and white embossed. Glossy accents to the unicorn and a sprinkle of glitter.Twine and Sequins to finish my card.

I made this card, only using half of the stamps,

 

This Card was made in a few easy steps

Step one

Take a piece of Neenah Desert Storm card stock or similar, Then use Versa Mark inkpad to stamp a random background using the map stamp.Emboss this in clear powder.

Then using the incredible Distress oxides in vintage photo, blend over the top. https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/ink-pads/products/distress-oxide-vintage-photo

Then using a water spay in your hand, drop water droplets on to the card. Remove with some kitchen roll, after about a minute.Then stamp the word stamp ARRR using the same inkpad.

Then using some pearlescent medium, Paints,Inks, Spitz etc add some gold splats.

Step Two

Stamp out your chosen images, and colour them using your alcohol markers.Fussy cut them out if you don't have the dies.

Step Three

Arrange them on to your background, and add Stamp with sentiment and die cut letters in the word PIRATE, I also used an X. Then use a decorative banner punch to make a border. Then add gold /black Nuvo drops or simular to create a studded look to card.

Step One

Take a 5x5 piece of card stock and mask of 1" to create the sand, using Fossilised Amber Distress ink.Then cover up the sand and mask a 2" cap to create your sea, using Salty Ocean Distress ink.

I also used the cloud mask upside down to create some waves, this is like get 2 for the price of 1.

Step One

Stamp the first image.Then stamp on masking paper and make a mask.

Then cover your image and stamp another giraffe over the top as in the picture.

Then build up your scene by using the branch stamp, use it in a line to create a longer branch. (hope that makes sense) Step Two

Colour your image to create the background, and colour your image.

Use dies or trimmers to cut out image, i've used the MFT Double Stitch rectangle Die,then I used a sheet of backing paper 6x6 inches, on to a 8x8 inch card.

Finally I used MFT Stitched Rectangle Word Windows, to cut out my Sentiment which I had stamped on black card and embossed in white. https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/my-favorite-things/products/die-namics-stitched-rectangle-word-windows

I used Nuvo drops and twine, some white and black pen to bring out the pearls on her and tie on him.To finish I added a Mr and Mrs die, and some yellow paper. Giraffing Me Crazy The Stitched Rectangle Word Windows
