Lawn Fawn Beep Boop Birthday Goodie Bag

Posted on May 15, 2020 by pixiedonna

Hi crafty friends, I’m sharing a birthday goodie bag I created for any upcoming birthday that might be rolling in through the
summer and replenish my stash of birthday goodies.

Lawn Fawn Beep Boop Birthday and Goodie Bag Die

To create this goodie bag, I had to be a little creative since I did not have a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock I wanted to use. I die cut a
piece of Neenah Solar White 100lb. cardstock using the Goodie Bag die by Lawn Fawn, then I placed my die over the top of a 6 x 6
sheet of patterned paper and die-cut only the front of the panel. I trimmed the Really Rainbow pattern paper to fit over the goodie
bag and adhered it with liquid adhesive.

Lawn Fawn Beep Boop Birthday and Goodie Bag Die

For the images, I used a Beep Boop Birthday, which is retired (sadly) and colored in the images using Copic Markers then cut
them out using my ScanNCut.

Copic Markers Combination

Robots: C7, C5, C3, C1, C0, C00, R22
Pink: R85, R81, RV00
Teal: BG53, BG49
Yellow: Y17

Lawn Fawn Beep Boop Birthday and Goodie Bag Die

Using one of the green pattern papers from the Really Rainbow 6 x 6 paper pad, I die cut two green hills using the Simple Stitched
Hillside Borders Die, then stamped the birthday sentiment on one of the hills while the other sentiment was stamped onto a
piece of black cardstock and white heat embossed.

I added all of the elements onto the bag, using either foam tape or liquid adhesive to finish these bags. I plan to create several bags to
have on hand for any kids’ birthday parties.

Lemon Shortbread Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella | Lil Patch of Crafty Friends | Design Team Project

Posted on May 3, 2020May 6, 2020 by pixiedonna

Hi everyone and welcome to a new challenge on the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. Our exclusive sponsor for this
month is Lemon Shortbread Digi Stamps and Pages with their unique and beautiful collection of digi stamps. For my card today,
I created a monochromatic with one colored element card featuring Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella.

Lemon Shortbread Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella

I was very inspired to create this card based on a painting I saw somewhere in my early teen life. I tried to search for the original
painting and find the painter’s name but all I found was Parisian images in black and white with red umbrella paintings.

To start this card, I printed the digital image at 4 ¼ by 5 ½ onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock. I colored the
image in warm grays with a bold and bright red umbrella.

Copic Color Combination

Skin: W4, W3, W1, W0
Hair: W9, W7, W5, W3
Coat: W9, W7, W5, W3
Undercoat: W2, W1
Boots: W9, W7, W5, W3
Umbrella: R29, R27, R24, R22, R21
Background: W1, W0
Puddles: W5, W3, W1, W0

For the background, I die cut the panel with an A2 sized stitched rectangle die and finished coloring in the background by adding
dots across the background to create some texture.

To finish this card, I stamped out the sentiment with Versamark ink and white heat embossed it onto a piece of black cardstock.
I trimmed the sentiment strip and adhered it using foam tape to the bottom left corner.

For the background, I taped down a piece of Arches Coldpress Watercolor Paper to a wooden board and creating a nighttime
inspired sky using my Koi Watercolor Set. After the panel was dry, I added gold splatters to mimic the stars in the sky using a
shimmery gold watercolor paint.

For the ground, I ink blended a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with Distress Inks in Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso
then added texture with a dark brown Copic marker and a white gel pen. I brought in one more die cut element from the Palm

Good morning everyone and Happy Easter! Today we are celebrating Easter a little differently than in the past but the true
meaning of Easter does not change.

To help in celebratation, I created an adorable Easter card featuring Avery Elle Hoppy Easter stamp and Ray Elle-ments Die.

Mustard Seed, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink. I splattered the panel with water and blotted it dry with a paper towel.

Birthday Celebration | Whimsy Stamps Dragon Party

Posted on April 11, 2020April 14, 2020 by pixiedonna

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is staying healthy and sane. When I need to unplug from everything around me, I usually sit and color.
And, since I needed a birthday card for one of my students, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to create a card.

I’m using the super sweet Dragon Party stamp by Whimsy Stamps to create a Birthday Celebration card.

Whimsy Stamps Dragon Party

I began by stamping the image onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock and colored in the dragon with Copic markers.
Using the ScanNCut, I cut the image out and set it aside to work on the background.

Copic Markers Combination

Dragon: G28, G07, G05, G03, YG13, YG11
Purple: V09, V17, V12, V01, V000
White trim: W5, W3, W1, W00

Whimsy Stamps Party Dragon

For the background, I ink blended a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock with Salty Ocean Distress ink and used a polka dot
stencil with white pigment ink to add a little interest on the background. Once the background was dry, I die cut the
panel with a stitched rectangle die.

To finish this card, I die-cut white cardstock using a stitched cloud border die and stamped the sentiment on top of one
of the die cuts. I adhered the clouds to the background panel, popping up the top layer with foam tape. I stamped a small
birthday sentiment from the Everyday Scripted Sentiments onto a piece of black cardstock and white heat embossed it,
then trimmed the small strip. And finally, I added the dragon image to the front with foam tape to
complete this sweet birthday card.

Whimsy Stamps Dragon Party

I really love how whimsy this card turned out and I can’t wait to give it my student.

Pattie’s Creations Duckie with Rain Boots | Lil Patch of Crafty Friends | Design Team Project

Posted on April 5, 2020April 6, 2020 by pixiedonna

Good morning everyone, it’s time for a new challenge on the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. The theme is
always ANYTHING GOES and this week, the design team is creating projects with Pattie’s Creations images. For my card today,
I created a rainbow-inspired Duckie With Rain Boots image.

Pattie's Creations Duckie with Rain Boots

Being this a time of somewhat uncertainty, I wanted to find ways to encourage myself and others to believe in rainbows after the storm.

I began the card by printing the digital image onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock with a laser printer and
printing on regular copy paper the same image.

I quickly fussy cut the copy paper image out and added temporary adhesive to the back to create a mask.

At that point, I masked the duckie image and stamped out a rainbow using a stamp by The Stamps of Life behind the focal image,
and then masked the rainbow to ink blend the open areas with Distress Oxide ink in Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean.

Leaving the masks in place, I splattered the panel with water and blotted it dry with a clean paper towel.

Pattie's Creations Duckie with Rain Boots

The most fun part of creating a one-layer card is (for me, anyway) is removing the masks and seeing the images come to life.

I used Copic Markers to color the entire scene other than the sky background.

Copic Markers I used

Duckie: Y38, Y15, Y8, Y4, Y2, Y00 Beak: YR04, YR12
Umbrella/Boots: W9, W7, W5, W3, W1
Rainbow: R29, R24, R22, YR07, YR04, YR12, Y17, Y13, Y11
G19, YG09, YG13, B16, B04, B02, V17, V15, V12
Clouds C3, C1, C00, Blender
Sidewalk: C5, C3, C1, C0
Water: B00, BG00

Pattie's Creations Duckie with Rain Boots

To finish this card, I trimmed the main panel slightly and adhered it to an A2 sized black card base. Using a small sentiment
stamp, I stamped and white heat embossed then adhered it to the finished card with a little foam.

Trinity Stamps Mr. Snailman | Instagram Hop and Giveaway

Posted on April 2, 2020April 4, 2020 by pixiedonna

Good morning everyone, I’m so excited to participate in my first ever Instagram Hop with a handful of talented crafters
featuring shaker cards. There is something so fun about creating an interactive card, it’s
truly amazing to see the recipient’s reaction.

This hop is sponsored by Trinity Stamps and there is a GIVEAWAY!
If you’re new to Trinity Stamps, they are a small family run business featuring high-quality clear stamps.
I mostly love their whimsy stamps but they offer some elegant florals and fun sentiments as well. Check out their
website here, and you’ll soon understand why I’m so honored to be a part of this hop.

Trinity Stamps Mr. Snailman

For my shaker card, I created a slimline ink blended “Snail Mail” card featuring Mr. Snailman Stamp set. I began the
card by die cutting a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest slimline die from the Slimline
Card Series: Stitched Card Panels and Windows set by Trinity Stamps.

Using Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks, I ink blended this panel
in a gradient from darkest to lightest going up to the top. I splattered the panel with water and blotted it dry with
a paper towel. Once the panel was dry, I splattered it with diluted Opaque Copic white paint for a little added texture.
For the shaker frame, I die cut a white panel using the stitched window die and one of the smaller stitched slimline dies.

Trinity Stamps Mr. Snailman

For the adorable snail image, I stamped it out with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Neenah Solar
White 80lb. cardstock then used my Copic Markers to color the images in.

Color Combination

Snail’s shell: E47, E44, E43, E42, E41
Snail’s body: YG67, YG17, YG03, YG00
Present: R85, R83, RV52, RV10
Mailbox: E47, E44, E43, E42, E41
Pink: R85, R83, RV52, RV10
Grass: YG67, YG17, YG03, YG00

Once the coloring was finished, I used my ScanNCut to cut both of the images out. I added a white heat embossed
sentiment to the card and finally added the shaker sequins to complete this card.

I hope you’ll join me on this Instagram hop and follow the link for a chance of winning a gift certificate to Trinity Stamp.
