Hello Friend

Oh it's been too long since I made some cards ! I won this Critters in the Forest set from Lawn Fawn so I inked it up and colored with Copic markers. I forgot how fun it was to color :) The sentiment is also Lawn Fawn, from Hello Friend set. I really like that stamp company - really cute images that are fun to make quick and simple cards with. The background of clouds is from Hero Arts. I can never have enough of Hero Arts stamps! Thanks for stopping by!

Ring Ring Hello

Here are 2 cards I will add to the notecard set (see my previous post) and gift to my fiance's Mom. I think she'll like the cards! These use the phone image and "hello" sentiment from Lawn Fawn set called Just My Type.

This card uses American Crafts ribbon and Hero Arts Woodgrain stamp. I wanted to use the fun ribbon so the colors are all based on that.

This card uses October Afternoon Thrift Shop papers. I got some fun vintage ribbon from Limelight Papercrafts so I tried a shabby technique. I used Tattered Rose Distress Ink on the edges of the papers. The doily edge is from a Martha Stewart border punch.

Thanks for visiting today!

Click Clack

There is a new stamp company called Lawn Fawn - they have the cutest stamps! I bought 2 sets: Just My Type and Just My Type, Too from Limelight Papercrafts (they are having a Memorial Day sale btw!).

I've been seeing cute shaped mini-cards, so I thought I'd try it out with these sets.

For this card I did some masking and repeated the "click clack" in Colorbox Charcoal ink. I clear embossed the typewriter and colored in the keys with a Uni-Ball white opaque pen. Thank You was stamped with PTI Raspberry Fizz ink (you can see I first tried to stamp with chalk ink but since the Bazzill paper is textured it didn't take it well). I added some Raspberry Fizz polka dotted ribbon to finish it off.

For this card I used some new October Afternoon Thrift Shop paper (bought from Die Cuts R Us - great service from this online store as well!!) I embossed the typewriter with white embossing powder on black paper and blue Bazzill paper. I added some ric-rac ribbon attached with the Tim Holtz mini-stapler. Love that thing!

Hope you are having a great long weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
