Sea You Soon! Good Bye to the Drive by Crafts Design Team...

Hello Friends Waleska here from craftinglovew with my last post on the Drive by Crafts Design Team.  Time definetely flies when you are having fun!!! I loved my time on this team and sharing with you my ideas!!! For my last card of course I wanted to create a scene with some of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets from all time, some old and some new!! This long card is very colorful and shows lots of different characters and must haves if you are like me and enjoy making cute cards.

CARD DETAILS:

I started with the card base which is a letter size sheet fold in half, I cut 2 inches so it can fit inside a long business envelope.  I cut different sizes of water waves and colored them with oxide inks in colors: Faded Jeans, Peacoack Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon and Salty Ocean.  For the little island I used Kraft Cardstock, I splashed all the waves with water for a realistic water look. 

For the sky I used Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpking Oxide Inks.  I planned my scene from top to bottom, my inspiration was an image I found of the ocean with lots and lots of little fishes.  I started stamping and coloring all the characters I wanted to use and placing them on the card without adhering them.  I build this big scene little by little and I tried to use kind of the same colors for a harmonic feel.

After I knew exactly where I wanted all my images I started adhering them to my card, with glue and some with 3D foam.  I used a white gel pen to draw attention to some parts of the images and some glitter glue for sparkle.  I finally stamped the sentiment with black ink.

I hope I inspire you to mix and match some of your stamp sets with this card!!!! I had the best time on the Drive by Crafts Team, I learned a lot and made some great friends!!! Take care and thank you so much for all your kindness during my time as a DT Member!!! 

Keep on Crafting!!!

Love,

Toadally Awesome Nuvo Shimmer Powders

Hello Friends, I hope you had a great week!!! I am super excited to share with you this card today and also some backgrounds I created with the beautiful Nuvo Shimmer Powders... All you have to do with this powders is add water and let the magic happens. The colors are amazing and you can create beautiful shiny projects with them. Let me share with you how to use them it is super fun!

CARD DETAILS:

To create this card I started with the background first, I spread some of the Atlantis Burst powder on the front of my card base and add water... I let the colors move a little and then I use a heat tool to dry it. After that first panel I did two more panels in the same way one more with the Atlantis Burst and the other one with my favorite powder color Violet Brocade.

I die cut a frame for the front of my card and stamp some of the froggies from the Toadally Awesome Lawn Fawn to the other panel and hand cut all the pieces. I used 3D foam to give dimension to the froggies and finally I added the sentiment. I don't actually own all of the colors of the Nuvo Shimmer Powders but I created some examples for you to take a look of the ones I have. (by the way I need them all)....

I Love you S´more

Hello Friends Waleska here sharing with you my participation in the Lawn Fanatics Challenge Inky Fingers!! Who else is super excited for the new Lawn Fawn Release coming this February 22nd?  I am so excited and as always wanting to buy the entire Release!!! I definitely need to start finding a job if I want to keep buying stamps, dies and crafty supplies, thanks God I don´t live in the States because I will probably leave my husband without money!!! hahaha.  For this challenge I got really inky and I created a heavy distress ink background for a very cute couple that I include in my Cute Couples Card Series for this coming Valentine Day!! I am sharing a cute couple card each day on my Instagram until february 14 Celebrating Love and Cute stamps!!! Now here is my card for the Challenge:

CARD DETAILS:

For this cute card I used the new Sweet Friends Stamp Set from Lawn Fawn.  For my card base I used the Gina Marie Designs Starry Sky Background Plate Die which is amazing to create night scene cards, totally recommend to check her products... They are amazing and the prizes too. I ink blend the whole piece with Faded Jeans Oxide Ink and Black Soot only on the edges, to create the fire I used Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade and I applied it in a circular motion to give the feel of fire.  To create the branches for the smores I used the Leafy Tree Backdrop, and cut a little branch from it.  For the stars background I used the same colors from the fire to unify the design, I color the cute couple and added glossy accents to the marshmallow part of them.  Finally added some sequins, a heart and the fun sentiment.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I invite you to join me on instagram for more cute couples cards!! I share one card daily... I love getting to know more crafty friends through there here:

Be leaf me when I say I love this cute card! I used the Small Stitched Leaves dies for this one,  for the custom sentiment I used Claire´s ABC´s.  For the background I sponge Merman Lawn Fawn ink with some water splashes.

I bet you saw the Disney little Movie "I Lava You"... I was inspired by that to create this cute card I am planning to give it to my sweet hubby.  I used the Stitched Mountain Border dies and the wavy die from the Stitched Hillside Border dies to create this scene.   I used distress inks and water to create the effect, for the little faces I used the Aloha stamp set.

For my next card  I used the Simple Puffy Cloud dies.  For the background I used Oxide Inks Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans.... So funny the outside says: "I am Cooler" and the inside says: "Than you".... 

For my last card I created a Fun sentiment paired with the cute eggs from Chirp Chirp Chirp.  The background is Peacock Feathers Oxide Ink mixed with Work Lipstic.  I also used Nuvo drops Caribbean Ocean and Ebony Black for the embellishments.

The Claire's ABCs Lawn Fawn set is now one of my favorites it is so easy to line up and you can create any fun sentiments you can think of!!!  It was so much fun to create this fun cards I hope you like them!!!

BE-YOU-TIFUL Mermaids/ Ellen Hutson Mix it Up Challenge

Hello Cardmakers out there! I want to share with you a BE-YOU-TIFUL Mermaid card for the Ellen Hutson Mix it Up Challenge with Lawn Fawn. 

CARD DETAILS:

For this card I started with the background I used Oxide Inks in colors Cracked Pistachio, Broken China and Faded Jeans, I have to say this colors are perfect for Ocean backgrounds.  I added Versamark ink and Ranger Holographic Embossing Powder to the hole background.

It looks very beautiful, after that I die cut the Ellen Hutson Be-You-Tiful word die six times to have a raised look, and color all the mermaids in the same color combination for the border I used the Gina Marie Designs Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I love the sparkling look of this card so I added more sparkle to the hair, top and tail with the Ranger Bullet embossing ink pen.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and can give this idea a try of making a very sparkling card! I think there is never to much sparkle in a card hahaha! 

Hugs 

Waleska
