Lawn Fawn Little Snow Globe Holiday Dog Cards

 Hello everyone.  I have some easy but cute Holiday cards today using Lawn Fawn's Little Snow Globe Collection Dog Stamp.  


For both my cards, I stamped all my images onto white cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut Machine.  I then colored them in with my Copic Markers.

This was my first card I put together.  The foiled pattern paper is from Lawn Fawn.  It was a little hard to photograph but I assure you it's pretty.  I made a ground, I was going for snowflake wallpaper and a wood floor with base board.


I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Stamp set Winter Scribbled Sentiments with black ink on my wood floor. paper strip.  I glued everything to a A2 white card base.  I added some drops of Lawn Fawn glitter glaze on a few snowflakes and globe.  I also used my white gelly roll pen for highlights.  I love the dog and his cute deer hat.


Here is another card I made.  I'm really into green this year and I always love snowflakes and of course Lawn fawn.  I did the same with this card only I colored the dog differently and he has a Santa Hat from Little Snow Globe Bear Stamp.  This pattern paper is different and is from Joanns. I also used a different image for the snow globe. I love snow globes so much. I then glued everything to a green A2 Card base.  Later, I added some glitter glaze to the snowflakes.  I did use my Gelly roll pen for highlights on this card too.


I was going to add my sentiment cut to fit my card front but I didn't like the look, so I placed it inside my card instead.


I hope you like my cards.  I had so much fun making them.  I also may have shopped lawn Fawn's Black Friday sale.  So more Lawn Fawn cards are coming.  I will be linking my cards to the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge-Holiday Critters #161 and to Simon says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-Anything Goes.

Woodblock Wednesday Elegant Woman and Dog

 Hello everyone.  Today starts one of my favorite Challenges called Woodblock Wednesday hosted by my friend Amy Tsuruta.  I always enjoy participating in her Woodblock Stamp challenges. And my Woodblock Stamps get to get some love yay.




I recently picked up this Hero Arts Elegant Woman and Dog Woodblock Stamp from Joanns that was on clearance.  I think it's fabulous. I stamped my woodblock stamp with Brutus Monroe Raven Black ink on this natural colored cardstock.  I then colored it with my Copic Markers and a white colored pencil.  I cut my cardstock and put it to the side.


I cut some aqua polkadot pattern pape from my stashr for layering.  I felt like using a embossing folder so I chose Spellbinders Sketched Floral embossing folder from a previous club kit and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum diecutting machine with a white A2 panel.  I then ink blended it with Peacock Feathers Distress ink.


Next, I used a circle paper pinch from Creative memories with black cardstock.  I stamped and heat embossed my Woodblock Sentiment from Hero Arts called Happy Birthday To You that I may have gotten last year from Joanns.  I used Hero Arts Unicorn white ink and white embossing powder.  I then glued everything to a A2 card base using my Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue.  I added some sequins to match and that finishes my Birthday card.  I hope you like it.  I hope you will join the challenge too, it's so much fun.

Hero Arts Happy Birthday To You Woodblock Stamp

Santa Claus Holiday Card

 Hello everyone.  I have my last card sample to share using the New layered Ho Ho Ho stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  Use my code VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.



I love this stencil Ho Ho Ho it consists of 4 sencils and they are all labeled.  It's easier to line of the letters if you use your stamping platform or something or another tool to help you line up your your stencils. Also I found that smaller blending brushes are easier to ink up the letters.  I hope that helps.  After, you do it once it's very easy to do for your next projects.  I started out with white cardstock, I used Archival Ranger ink cubes in Rustic Wilderness, Fired Brick, Frayed Burlap, and Prize Ribbon. I used 4 inks by choice but you can do 1 or 2 inks too.  I then cut my background to A2 size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.


Next, I used this cute Santa that was already stamped on a circle die-cut in my stash from Doodlebug. I colored it in with my alcohol markers Ohuhu and glued it to my panel with liquid glue.  I stamped a sentiment from Mama Elephant Mini Merry Messages stamp set with black ink on white cardstock and then cut it out with my paper trimmer. I then glued it to my panel.  My panel was then glued to a A2 card base.  I chose not to use any embellishments on this card. I hope you like it and grab this stencil set.

Good Cheer Elf Mug

Hello everyone.  I have my last card for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.   



I used a SVG File called Christmas Elf Mug from the Silhouette Design studio.  I used my Silhouette Cameo 3 to cut all my die-cuts out using white cardstock.  I ink blended my die-cuts using Gina K Designs Faded Brick ink, Pinkfresh Studio Emerald City ink, Black Soot Distress Oxide ink, Lost Shadow Distress ink, Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink, Broken China Distress Oxide ink, and Lucky Clover Distress ink.  I then glued all my die-cuts together using liquid glue.


I grabbed a A2 piece of red cardstock and I rann it through my diecutting machine using a Gina K Designs Swiss Dots embossing folder.  I then took a sanding block and sanded some of my dots.  I stamped my sentiment with black ink on white cardstock from STAMPlorations Holiday Mocha Feels stamp and then layered it on black cardstock.  I glued everything to a green A2 card base and glued some festive sequins to match.  I hope you like my elf mug.  It was a lot of fun and I enjoy ink blending even when I have colored cardstock.
