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,

Out of This World Reveal Wheel!

Hello everyone Waleska here, thank you so much for stopping by for my weekly blog, today with a new, interactive and fun card.  If you follow me you already know I am a big, huge Lawn Fawn Fan... This recent release in my opinion was one of the best.  One of my absolute favorite was the Reveal Wheel Die Set... this die is a total must have in your die arsenal... It is so easy to ensemble and so fun to make cards...

CARD DETAILS:

To start my card I die cut three of the main pieces with white cardstock.  I wanted to use the 

Beam Me Up stamp set to create a galaxy scene so I first place the spaceship where I wanted the reveal wheel to rotate and drew with a pencil around it to know where to cut the space window for the aliens to be.  After I cut the window I trace on the rotating wheel three times the window to know where to stamp the cute aliens.  After this I started creating the galaxy on the front panel with Oxide Inks Seedless Preserves, Blueprint Sketch and Black Soot, I used lots of water and some little star sequins to create the galaxy.

After the background was completed I started the assembly of the card,  I stamped other images from the set to create a scene, where the alien dad is at the galaxy spaceship stop to leave his son who is going on a field trip to the earth.  The light from the spaceship was made with tracing paper that I colored with a yellow marker.  I used black cardstock for the card base as well as for the sentiment.  

Every time you turn the wheel a different Alien shows on the spaceship window...  This card was so much fun to make... look on your stamps and dies for other fun ideas to use the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel... I guarantee you will have a blast creating one of this.

You can find this and the rest of the Lawn Fawn new Release the Drive by Crafts shop, and if you want to save some money don´t forget to use the code:

Lawn Fawn Ahoy, Matey/Cute Beach Girls

Hello.... Today's card was inspired by the June beautiful Butterfly Reflections Ink Mood Board...  I loove this cute girl pirates...  I am on a Beach mood lately and I had this and many more ideas to create summer cards... It is going to be an AWESOME summer!

CARD DETAILS: I started with the sand shaker cutting a hill from Desert Storm Cardstock and with a craft knife I cut 1cm. around the inside of the hill and glue acetate to the back of the hill to create the shaker window.

For the beach background I used Oxide Inks... they blend so effortlessly that I just can't put them away.. for the sunset Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade and for the ocean Faded Jeans with some water splashes.   I added the sand to the card base and add the sand cardstock piece with double sided tape to create the shaker (you have to press extra hard because the sand is more heavy than regular sequins). to glue it to the card.

I colored all the cute girl pirates matching the color combination of the mood board and die cut the great palm trees of the newest release... I glue my girls and add the sentiment with Versafine Onyx black ink.... knowing the Awesome girls I know you can make any girl happy with this one!

I hope you have a great weekend... Mine started today because my kids are home... I am rushing to write this because... you know... they were up at 6:00 a.m. today but on school days can hardly stand up at 7:00 a.m.... and right now they are calling me... MOM, MOM, MOM, MOM.... 

HUGS,

Waleska

I am here for you!

Hello Crafty Friends and Lawn Fawn Lovers thank you so much for visiting my blog  today... I hope your starting week is Awesome! I created this card for the current Lawnfawnatics Challenge "Cheerful Get Well" as always I Mix and Match some amazing products from Lawn Fawn.

CARD DETAILS: I cut the Lawn Fawn Hills in desert Storm cardstock.  For the background I used distress inks in colors Carved Pumpkin and Squeezed Lemonade.  I stamped the dinosaurs on green cardstock and with distress ink I gave them a little color on the edges.  I used the  On the Mend stamp set to accessorize the cute scene!  Most people would agree that when we are not feeling so good... a good friend is always a great medicine! for the ground I used desert storm cardstock also but colored it with distress ink Walnut Stain! for more inspiration please follow me on instagram "craftinglovew"

where I post more often and I share a lot of inspiration.

Booya Stamp Set elements.... To make some EGGcelent Vampires!! hahaha

I made a little tutorial to show you how I create the background

1. I diecut a circle mask for the moon

2. You put your mask where you want your moon to be placed in the card

3. Next, you start blending with squeezed lemonade distress ink, only around the circle mask to make kind of a halo.

4. After that you start blending around the edge of the card with chipped sapphire first, leaving in the center some white spots

6. Put also some black soot distress ink on the edges to make the look of a more dramatic night.....

7.  Remove very carefully the mask and blend in the center of the moon some squeezed lemonade to make a brilliant moon 

Here is you Spooky night sky..... have an amazing day...

Hope you find this helpful...

Hugs
