Gone Fishing Suspended Shaker Card

Gone Fishing


Hello!

I made this card using a set from the Strawberry Jude Stamps September release that is available starting September 1st!

I stamped my images unto watercolor paper and colored them with Mission gold watercolors. I tried to make the fish look like rainbow trout. . . I added wink of Stella and put a shiny coat of glossy accents on them. . . They look so pretty!

I cut my base panel from watercolor paper as well and did a few layers of a green wash.

I created a little shaker window for my pond. 
I wanted my fish to stay in one place so I suspended them on a piece of fishing line. 
They still wiggle when you shake it but they don't get all flipped around or buried by the sequins.

I placed the moose at the top of my pond using foam tape and placed this one little fish like he was jumping out of the lake!

Birthday Shaker Card

Birthday Shaker Card



I made this full front shaker card using Lawn Fawn Year 7 stamp and Stitched rectangle dies.

I colored the image with copic markers so I stamped the image suing the Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink that is copic friendly. I used the matching dies to cut out the pinata and the little pieces of candy.

I then used the two largest rectangle dies to create my frame from Lawn Fawns Perfectly Plaid Rainbow pack of paper and the largest rectangle for the acetate window. I placed my frame on the front of the acetate window.

I wanted my pinata to stay in the middle of the card so I sandwiched it to some clear fishing line. I laid one layer of foam on the frame and placed the fishing line so that the pinata stayed in the middle but still had some room to swing around. Then I placed the second layer of foam tape on the frame.

For the back panel I also used the largest rectangle die. I stamped the sentiment that came with the stamp using the Distress Oxides in Seedless Preserves. I glued down the candy pieces and a few sequins. I added more sequins to the acetate window with frame and placed my back panel on to close it up and placed it on a side folding card

Teacher Thanks

Teacher Thanks


This was a super quick and easy card.

I used a black polka dot paper for my base panel, and Neenah card stock for my white panel and  cut them with Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle dies. I layered some school washi tape cut with a flag end.

I used Strawberry Jude Stamps Don't Forget School Icons and placed a few images above the washi tape. I kept them black to keep it the card kinds basic. I took some black washi tape and covered a scrap paper and die cut the thanks using Create a Smile die. I added a few black and red glitter enamel dots to finish off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sunflower Thanks

Sunflower Thanks



This card was super easy to create and I think it looks great!

I used the Hello Sunflower stamp set from Strawberry Jude Stamps. I stamped it in the corner of a watercolor panel. Then I used yellow and painted all around the image and then used just water to pull the paint out to cover the panel to get a gradient effect.

After it dried I added a thank you die cut and some clear raindrops.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hope Your Birthday Is A SMASH!



Hope Your Birthday Is A SMASH!


I used the Year Seven Lawn Fawn stamp for this cute birthday card. 

I started with created a base panel using watercolor paper. I added my sentiment first. . . I followed the sentiment that came with the set but for the last word I used Quinns ABC's. I did this so that I could color the last word and really get it to stand out! 

I added three sections of color to create the background and colored in my letters using watercolors. I chose these colors because they kinda make more of a masculine card and I have a hard time doing those! 

I stamped my image with Copic friendly ink and colored them using Copics. I used the matching die to cut them out and then adhered them right to my base panel.

I really like how this card turned out. . . It was pretty easy to create, in fact I made 10 for a card swap!
