Relaxing Birthday Mini Slimline Card with Lawn Fawn

I really like this month's birthday card batch! I used Crafty Al's latest Show Us You Sheet Load card sketch and used the latest Lawn Fawnatics color challenge to inspire my mini slimline birthday cards. As always, I have been using up paper from my stash, so it is a retired background... But I think the overall layout with my stamped images from On the Beach is really cute and can be duplicated.

Do you like making batches of cards? I am really building up a good stash of cards and It's going to be great for selling or gifts at the end of the year!

Coloring Guide: Manatees from Manatee-rific from Lawn Fawn

I wasn't sure what I wanted to color this month, but I knew I wanted to do a smaller set. So I dug through my stamps and saw my Manatee-rific set from Lawn Fawn! With Summer not too far away, I thought it would be fun to do show my coloring for these cutie sea cows. Plus, the additional stamps are so cute and small, it would be a great way to do some two shades in my favorite pastel/neon colors.

My video below is my monthly color and chat, however not much chatting happened this month! I've been so busy with preparing for a new release on one of my Design Teams and my sister's shower is next weekend... Next month will probably be chattier!

Make sure to save the guides above, or you can save my post over on Instagram to find it later.

Beau-Tea-Ful Floral Card with Ink Road Stamps

I'm going to admit, this card was a bit out of my comfort zone. I am not a tea drinker and I do not really do a lot of cards with are "messy" but I wanted to use some papers that are in my collection from when my daughter and I made bubble art with tempera paint. So I picked one for my background and die cut some florals from pink and yellow designs as well as in some black cardstock. I colored my teacup to match the colors from the papers I used and I think it turned out really pretty.

You can see a quick video down below of how it turned out on my Instagram or you can also find it soon on my TikTok!

Hello Spring with Friendly Bouquets from Scrapbook.com

I have been super busy the past week and a half working on some samples for an upcoming release for one my design teams, but I have also been working on some pretty floral cards as well! I used some flower stamps, dies and a stencil from Scrapbook.com and die cut out my own "Spring" sentiment. I thought it would be pretty to use coral and olive tones so I used Saltwater Taffy for my stenciling and the new Olive Pops of Color for embellishment. They go really well with the Floral Smooth Cardstock, too!

You can find more details and a close up of this card over on my Scrapbook.com Gallery; it's a perfect way to see more photos and get direct links to the products I used. You can also see where they're used in my projects by hovering over the products! It's so neat!

Live, Love, Grow Dutch Door Card with Stampin' Up!

I learned a new kind of card fold this weekend from Craft Roulette - a dutch door fold. I have never made a card like this, but it is definitely a unique style of card! I had started to make this card to fit in the parameters from Craft Roulette this past weekend and I had covered three out of four... Dutch door card; red + 2 colors (orange and green); and splatter... But completely forgot about that it had to include bird(s)! 

So I have pictures above of the finished card, and then how I added a little bird in the same orange color as the card in the top left corner of the sentiment inside. I think it blends in okay, what do you think? Did I recover or should I have started over? 😅

Pirates and Treasure Platform Pop-Up Birthday Card with Lawn Fawn

Okay, so I have a new favorite interactive die set from Lawn Fawn. Sorry Magic Iris! But the Platform Pop-Up is amazing and so easy to use! When I was opening up the die and clipping apart the pieces, I thought this little guy reminded me of an island... So I went through my Lawn Fawn stash and grabbed my Ahoy, Matey stamp set as well as some other dies that would help me back a cute little island!

The pirate theme with the ocean background just makes me so happy! I think I will create more island themed cards - how cute would the hammock look between the two trees on this island platform card?! Going to have to make another one!

I hope you'll try this idea yourself and you can get all the details of how it came together in the video down below.

Hello Spring Slimline Card with Scrapbook.com

It's so hard to believe that April is here! We have been having strange weather in Southern California - it's over 80 degrees on Monday and then raining by the weekend. But I am excited that the rain really does make my city so green and beautiful! Plus, when there's lots of rain, we tend to get more butterflies and I'm so excited for seeing them more around again.

To celebrate Spring, I made this slimline card using Springy items from Scrapbook.com! I just LOVE the Spring Animals stamp set and there are beautiful new Pops of Color out now that are glossy pastels that are perfect for this time of year. I used the new colors with a stencil to make my background and before I washed off my scraper, I wiped any access Pops of Color onto a scrap piece of paper that I used later to die cut my springs and floral die cuts!

Keep an eye out over at the Scrapbook.com Livestreams for the Spring Bundle to see some behind the scenes of this card...
