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!

_MG_7499-001

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.

Paper Smooches, Memory Box and Perfect Layers Tools News…

_MG_7000

With ME!

That’s what I need to put on the inside! : ) and Happy Spring!  Super cute Paper Smooches stamps and dies.  Graffiti Alphabet stamps and Alphawhimsy Alphabet dies… the stamps don’t quite work perfectly with the dies but with a little ‘adjusting’  I used them together for ‘Tulips’!  I stamped on Hammermill 80# Color Copy Cover card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.   I stamped the tulip letters in Tumbled Glass Distress ink.

I store my Paper Smooches stamps in the sheet protectors I linked to below.  They are 8.5 x 11, fit in a D ring binder and hold three sets on each page (I do have to trim a little of the acetate so they fit, big scissors, whack it off! lol)… so easy to flip through for inspiration!

Sky and Grass are Distress inks… Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint, applied with the ink blending tool.

Black mat for the main image cut with the Perfect Layers Tools 1/8 inch ruler!  Awesome every time!  Link below or in the sidebar.

I have a Memory Box card to share today too!   It shows the mats/layers cut with the Perfect Layer’s Tools also. I used the 1/16th inch and 1/8th inch rulers.

Lovely Bella Bouquet die…delicate lines and embossed flowers…an awesome die!  I paired it with Fresh Foliage then added one of the Pastry dies and the Tessatina Border.  The text ‘flowers’ is part of a new Memory Box stamp, inked with Peeled Paint Distress ink!  Sneak Peak! : )

_MG_6971 - Version 2

How about a super close up picture!  Bella Bouquet is cut out of meadow and raspberry Memory Box card-stock.  I cut the raspberry flowers off and glued them with Tombow Mono Multi glue to the meadow cut.  I edged the leaves, stems and label with Peeled Paint Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

I use the Memory Box metal plate to cut the dies that have detail and small lines, like stems. Here’s a three minute You Tube by Dave (MB owner) on using the metal adaptor plate. I’m really glad I purchased the metal plate…cuts the fine detail dies great!

Thanks for stopping by!  See you Monday for the hop!  Holler if you have any questions!
