Perfect Paper Crafting and Lawn Fawn Blog Hop…

LawnFawnHop

I’m so excited to welcome you to another blog hop!  The ladies have wonderful posts to share and I’m so happy to be part of the line up!  I LOVE Perfect Layer Tools and pairing them up with Lawn Fawn…well… you’ll see below,  I had fun cuz I LOVE Lawn Fawn too! I made so many cards, I don’t know which one to start with!

ok – I’ll start with the ‘faux’ polaroid shot! For this card I used the Home Sweet Home stamp set, Home Sweet Home die set, Say Cheese stamp set, Say Cheese die set and the Pink Lemondade 6×6 paper pad.  I used the 1/16th inch Perfect Layers Ruler to mat the floral piece.  Then to mat the floral matted piece to the shell piece,  I used the 1/4th inch and 3/4 inch Perfect Layers Ruler.  I used the 1/8 inch Perfect Layers Ruler to mat behind the shell pattern, which is the card base.  I measure the top with a clear ruler and then cut the three sides with the Perfect Layers Ruler.

A friend of mine has been making all kinds of postcard cards lately… this card was inspired by Jan!  Thank you Jan!  I started with the You’ve Got Mail stamp set, the jar is cut out of a sheet of the Pink Lemonade 6×6 paper pad, the greenery is from the Blissful Botanicals stamp set  and Blissful Botanicals die set.  I used the 1/16th inch Perfect Layers Ruler to mat behind the pink and orange piece.  Copic Sketch markers to add some shading here and there.  I have to say the Lawn Fawn dies cut the stamped images so easily!  I didn’t use tape at all!

I just had to color a few images!  Love this cute little pooch and tree! So fun to color!  I used Critters in the Burbs stamp set and the Pink Lemonade 6×6 paper pad.   The black layer is from the 1/16th inch Perfect Layers Ruler,  the next green layer is with the 3/8th inch Perfect Layers Ruler,  the yellow is 1/16th,  the plaid is 1/2 and the base is 1/4th inch.  I used the Lawn Fawn Trimmings cord on the fold.

This card makes me smile! I’ve always enjoyed riding my bike.  I used the Cruising Through Life stamp set, Sunny Skies stamp set and the Pink Lemonade 6×6 paper pad.   For the layers I started with the Perfect Layers Ruler  1/8th inch, 1/16th inch, 3/16th inch and last for the card base is 1/8th inch.  I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  The circle on the sun is paper pieces with the yellow dot from the paper pad.

_MG_7485-001

This is kind of a silly card but I had fun with it! Hope it brings a smile!   The Dad’s Day stamp set,  the Bannerific stamp set, the Bannerific die set, the Pink Lemonade 6×6 paper pad and Riley’s ABC’s for the words, I, You and to.  The arm chair is a solid stamp, inked with Walnut Stain Distress ink and stamped on the plaid from the paper pad.  I made the little doily on the back of the arm chair with the stitched heart stamp from the Home Sweet Home stamp set.  I stamped it three times and then cut it to fit.  I used two Stampin Up oval punches for the rug under the arm chair. For the layers I started with the Perfect Layers Ruler 5/16th for the top and two sides and 1 inch at the bottom. Then the black layer is the 1/16th inch and the card base is 1/8th inch.

Below is the list for the HOP… visit the blogs and comment for a chance to WIN!

Memory Box cards and ‘stamps only’ blog blitz…

outside the box

It’s ‘stamps only’ Blog Blitz week over on the Memory Box Blog this week, HERE!  Be sure to click over and comment for a chance to win from the NEW stamp release!

I ❤ the chalkboard look and thought this NEW  ‘Butterfly Study’ stamp would work great with it!  I inked up the study stamp with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder on MB Licorice card-stock.

I stamped the NEW Happy Birthday Background on MB White card-stock with MementoEspresso Truffle ink  and a stamp a ma jig. I layered the image with MB Cranberry and Kraft card-stocks and cut the mats with the Perfect Layers Rulers.  I used MB Licorice Distressed Dots card-stock and mounted the finished piece on a 5 1/2 in. x 5 1/2 in. card.  It’s for the artist in the class!  : )

Thank you Kitty for mentioning me in the SCS Weekly Favorites thread!  I appreciate it!

It’s that time of year when everyone loves to see flowers blooming! This card features the NEW Luminous Poppies stamp.  I inked it with waterbase markers and then moistened it with just a very light spritz of water before I stamped it. I stamped the Butterfly stamp, from the end of the NEW A Very Happy Hello combo with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, on a tag and colored it with Copic Sketch Markers warm grays.

The sentiments are from the NEW April Showers combo.  I have them in the NEW cling option, so I cut the two lines apart (they fit right back together), inked them with Versafine Onyx Black ink and positioned with the Stamp a ma jig.

MB White, Licorice, Dots and Gingham card-stock and red paper cord to tie on the tag. The layers are cut with the Perfect Layers Rulers. Finished card is A2 size.  I ❤ this color combo!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

_MG_7231-005
For this card I used the NEW Branches Background stamp, the NEW Just Thinking of You Today stamp and the top line from the NEW Happy Birthday Background stamp.  I used the Spring Branch stamp on the MB parchment card-stock, punched circle.  The sentiments and branch on the circle are stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

I played around inking the Branches Background stamp and I liked this result the best with these MB pattern papers, the awesome Bill of Sale 12×12 card-stock and the 6×6 packBrioche card-stock.  I inked the Branches Background with Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress inks, a light spritz of water, then stamped on watercolor paper.  Then I went over the stamped areas with a water filled waterbrush.  When it was dry,  I aged it with Antique Linen Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

The birdie square is punched from the Bill of Sale pattern paper. The butterfly is stamped from the NEW Butterfly Study stamp and then cut out.   The MB Juniper and Thistle card-stock layers are cut with the Perfect Layers Rulers.   A little hemp, a couple snips with the scissors for the fish tail banner, the paper edges aged with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool.  A 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch square finished card.
THANKS for the visit!   sorry for the long post!  I got carried away with cards… hehe
