#307 Craft Roulette - Lawn Fawn Thinking Of You


Hello there!  I was supposed to be cleaning up my "Zen Den" yesterday and was listening/watching the latest episode of Craft Roulette and got a little bit distracted.  Distracted meaning, the cleaning and organizing didn't happen.  What really got me was that I had the perfect paper that hit three of the four parameters.  This card was a snap!

This weeks parameters:

  • Project - Mini Slimline
  • Colors - Fungi
  • Element - Fruit
  • Random - Two Tone

    Paper 
        Fruit Salad Petite Paper Pack- Lawn Fawn

I'm sure that someone cleaned their craft room this past weekend, but it just wasn't me.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Toe-tally Awesome


I wanted to make a quick card featuring this month's @TrinityStampLLC Anatomically Adorable Toe-tally Awesome Stamp and Die Set before its gone!  

For the background on this card, I ink blended Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink on a little over the top half of a piece of cardstock cut to 5.25" x 4.0".  I watered down some Blueprint Sketch  Ink and spattered the cardstock.  

I colored my little friend with Copic markers in the following colors:

  • E000, E00, E11, E50, E51

For the sentiment on the top of the card, I used the sentiment that comes with the Toe-tally Awesome Set.  I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

For the sentiment on the lower part of the card, I used the Simply Sentimental-Celebrate Stamp Set and Coordinating Die Set.

Pop on a few Sparkle Spots from your stash and easy peasy.

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Basket Add On


Hello!  Today I have a shaker card that I created with three of Trinity Stamps new dies.  I have been thoroughly enjoying all the different ways to used these dies.  

To start this card, I cut the cardbase from a piece of double sided patterned paper using the Egg Shaped Card Die Set.  I like using that type of patterned paper because the inside is just as pretty as the outside.

To make the well for the shaker bits, using the Easter Basket Add-on die, I cut both the top and the bottom of the basket eight times.  I prefer to use 110lb white cardstock because I am able to build a deep well quicker.  Once I have my pieces glued together, I glued them to the card base.

I sprinkled some Pool, Bubblegum and Honey Dew Sparkle Spots in the well.  I cut a piece of acetate using the second largest die in the Egg Shape Card Die Set and sealed the shaker spots in by using liquid glue.  

I used the dies again to cut the basket out of a dark turquoise cardstock.  I dusted the edges of the basket and handle with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink.  For the piece that is the "inside" of the basket, I made sure to apply enough ink so that it was darker.

For the large sentiment on the front of the card, I decided to use the Happy Easter Egg Add-On die.  I cut the sentiment off the egg frame.  I cut it out of pink and orange cardstock.  I like to create a show on my lettering by offsetting the two letters.  


I used the dies from the Easter Basket Add-on to cut out a variety of flowers, leaves from different colors of scrap cardstock.  I also use the die to cut out a bow for the top of the basket.  I glued them at the bottom of the basket and at the top.

For the inside of the card, I cut out another egg from white cardstock.  I used the Simply Sentimental-Easter to stamp the sentiment.  


I am pretty please with the way this card turned out.  I love the patterned paper on the inside and the egg shape of the card.  I am linking to my YouTube Video process video if you want follow along.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I am linking to my YouTube Video process video if you want follow along.
