Hi Crafters! It’s Valerie here, and my card for today is a whole lotta cuteness, pink and hearts! 

For this sweet card, I used a bunch of Lawn Fawn products:

• Joy to the Woods stamp set
• Joy to the Woods die cuts
• Winter Sparrows stamp set
• Winter Sparrows die cuts
• Sweater Weather stamp set
• Sweater Weather die cuts
• Milo’s ABC’s stamp set
• Stitched Journaling Card die cuts
• Stitched Hillside Borders die cuts

The images are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto X-Press It lending Card Paper, and colored with Copic Sketch markers:

• Blue Jays: B01, B04, B06 / Beaks: YR04 / Scarf & Ear Muffs: Y3, Y15 / 
• Trees: T0, T2
• Birdhouse: E21, E23
• Fox: E04, E07, E19 / E50, E53 / Nose: R05
• Frame Around Sentiment: C1

The pink sky is Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries) applied to Distress Watercolor Cardstock with my 1″ Round Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tools. Then I spritzed the finished sky with water from my Ranger Mini Mister Spray Bottle.

The falling snow is little dots of White Enamel Accents.

I painted the frame on the sentiment, and the birds’ scarf and earmuffs, with Zig Wink of Stella Clear Brush.

The patterned cardstocked is all from the Pink Paislee’s 6×6 Pen Pals collection. I diecut the oval opening with my MFT Die-namics Stitched Oval die.

The sequins are Pretty Pink Posh’s Sparkling Clear Cupped 4mm  & 6mm. 

My adhesive of choice is the Crafter’s Companion tape runner. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope you’re keeping warm if you’re in the States; Happy Crafting!

All of the other stamped images are from an older Lawn Fawn set, Critters in the Forest and the matching die set. I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink onto X-Press It Blending Card paper, and colored them with Copic Sketch markers:

Hi Crafters! It’s Valerie here today; how about some fun with Mama Elephant and MFT Die-namics today?

I absolutely LOVE city skylines and bridges (and I have a soft spot for hot air balloons, too); so when I saw these stamp sets & dies from Mama Elephant, I about died! 

I put them all together and created this beautiful Congratulations card; it can be used for any occasion where you want to Congratulate someone (graduation, new job, retirement,engagement…).

The card is an A2 size (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″). I created the sky with my Ink Blending Tool, and 3 Distress Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Tumbled Glass, & Salty Ocean.

The beautiful bridge and sentiment are from the Mama Elephant Sightseeing stamp set (I stamped (& heat embossed with gold embossing powder) the bridge onto vellum paper); and the hot air balloon is (stamped & heat embossed with red embossing powder) from the Mama Elephant Sunny Skies stamp set.

The gorgeous skyline is the Mama Elephant Cityscape die. The one-piece Congratulations word die is from the Die-namics Graduation Accents die set; I painted the word with my Zig Clear Wink of Stella Pen, and then added Glossy Accents to it.

The sequins are Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Cupped Sparkling Clear sequins.

The card base is Bazzill Classic Smooth 8 12″ x 11″ White paper , and I used my Crafter’s Companion Adhesive to adhere almost everything down.

I hope you’re inspired, and Happy Crafting!
