Christmas Card Featuring Lawn Fawn

Hello everybody, welcome to Crafty Time 4U! Today I'm at the Marker POP blog sharing some Christmas cheer in a form of a card, using Lawn Fawn stamps, dies, and papers.

Let me show you the card and I'll tell you a little bit more about it

For this card I stamped the images on to Copic card stock, using Memento Tuxedo black ink and I colored them using Copic markers, then I die cut them using the Lawn cuts coordinated die. The tree is from the "Critters in the forest" stamp set, the deer and trio of presents are from the "Toboggan together" stamp set, and the little presents and the Christmas lights are from the "Baaah Humbug" stamp set.

For the background I used Distress Inks, in "Broken China" and "Tumble Glass" . I placed the images on the card panel using foam adhesive, I cut a piece 5.5 x 4.25 of "Let's Bokeh in the Snow"patterned paper by Lawn Fawn, I adhered the card panel using foam adhesive, and I used some "Glossy accents" on the Christmas lights and some white liquid enamel as snow to add some dimension.  

I hope you enjoyed this card, and give these fabulous stamps and products a try.

Have a lovely day!

Marker POP challenge: Any Shape But A Rectangle

Hello everybody welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, crazy weekend over here if you ask me! But let's start the week with a new at the Marker POP blog, this time we are hosting a very exciting one, "Any Shape But A Rectangle" how fun is that? I have some inspiration for you using Mama Elephant stamps and dies.

I made this ornament-tags using the adorable "Reindeer games" stamp and die set by Mama Elephant, I used other elements that I'll list below. Let me show you and I will tell you all about it!

To cut the base of this round tag I used the large of the Lawn Fawn "Stitched Circle Tags" on white cardstock. Then I cut the Snow caped mountains by Mama Elephant and I inked the stitched tops. Then I cut a snow border using the Mama Elephant creative cuts "Landscape trio" to set the little deer. I inked the little snow border a little bit to give it some of dept. 

I stamped and colored all the images using Copic Marker, then I die cut them, using the "Reindeer games" Creative cuts coordinated dies. I set the scenes, and I adhered all the elements using foam adhesive and liquid glue. I also added some details to the deer using a white gel pen.

To finish the tags I die cut a the smallest bow out of red cardstock using a "Dienamics Beautiful Bows" by My Favorite Things," but you could used any bow you have handy or even ribbon. Then I thread some red and white bakers twine through the tag's holes. At this point, you can decide, if you want a tag, then stamp the words "to and from" in the back, or you could make an ornament out of it, by inserting the tag in the middle of one of those ornaments that come in two halves, these tags fit perfectly in the 70 mm. ornaments. 

I hope you got inspired to enter this challenge clic HERE, you'll have until the Friday November 13th to enter.

Lawnscaping Challenge, One Layer Cards

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, I hope you had a great weekend! Today I'm over the Lawnscaping Challenge blog, we are currently having our Lawnscaping Challenge No. 114 "One Layer Cards", sponsored by Lawn Fawn. If you haven't enter it, you can do it HERE
To inspire you to participate, I had created couple of one layer cards, one for fall and one for Christmas. One layers cards are great for mailing, and also can be quickly made. So here are the cards that I made, I hope you'll enjoy them and enter this challenge, I can't wait to see all your creations

 For this card I sued the "into the woods" the leaves were from the "Happy harvest" and the banner from "bannerific" stamp sets by Lawn Fawn. I used a little bit of masking and I finished the card with some 4mm sequins. 

For this card I got inspired on a card that I made back in July, however it wasn't a one layer card nor a Christmas card, but the idea came from that card you can see the card here. For this card I used the "Baaah Humbug" stamp set, some masking, and some subtle ink blending. I used the stitched borders to emboss some decorative border along the left and bottom sides of the card, and finished with some sequins.

Masking is a great way to add dimensions to a one layer card. you can do a lot more complex masking, or you could make simple fast cards to send easily over the mail, the possibilities are endless. 

I hoped you enjoyed these cards and that you give them a try, have a wonderful week!
