Relax & Enjoy

I really liked the Try It on Tuesday Sketch, and I wanted to combine it with a couple of challenges (see below) that requires "wings." I've been shopping my stash a lot lately. I pulled out the Rub-a-Dub-Dub set. These little ducks just make me smile. I remembered I had some rubber duck paper in a baby paper pack. I thought the two would look fun together, and guess what? They do!  I drew in the paneling, tile floor,and shelf. It was lots of fun to put it all together! Thanks for stopping by!

Hey Dad

With Father's Day approaching, I thought it was time to make a card for my husband from the cats. We currently have two cats, Catapult and Velcro.  We lost our beloved Peevey 15 years ago, but I thought he needed to be part of the card. I wanted more masculine paper, so I pulled a very old My Mind's Eye paper pad--Adventure. The colors and patterns make for a great "manly" vibe. I then die cut the striped paper with a die from Newton's Nook Designs-Frame & Flags die set. I cut a small piece using the blue paper. I added a cream trim to separate the carpet and the wall. I then stamped the TV set from a beloved stamp set by Paper Smooches--Boob Tubes. I then did some masking and stamped the little kittens from Lawn Fawn's Happy Couple stamp set. I then stamped the kitty from Lawn Fawn's Keep on Swimming stamp set.  I colored with Copic markers and did some fussy cutting. As I arranged things, I felt that the "room" was missing, so I pulled out Newton's Nook Designs Cozy Home stamp set. I stamped the little table and the vase, colored, and fussy cut.  I arranged everything and adhered to the panel.  I then cut the wood panel strip and added it to the card base before adding the panel.  My final touch was stamping the sentiment from the Boob Tubes stamp set.  I think this is going to make a wonderful Dad's Day card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Debbie

Thanks for being a friend

I recently purchased a "destashed" Lawn Fawn set called Keep on Swimming. It was definitely worth the purchase as this set is purr-fect for scene building. I created a little room using paper from the Echo Park Firefly paper pad for carpet, and for the paneled walls I used Echo Parks'  Cool Wood Grains. I die cut my panel with Newton's Nook Designs' Frames & Flags die set. I then stamped and fussy cut the images from the Lawn Fawn set and colored with Copic markers. I used dimensional tape to pull up the elements. The sentiment came from Lawn Fawn's Critters at the Park stamp set. 

This is a simple design, but I love how it turned out.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Smooth Birthday

I haven't played with this Lawn Fawn's stamp set in ages.  This is the So Smooth stamp set.  I just love the little faces that come with it.  In addition to this stamp set, I used Newton's Nook Designs' Frames & Tags, Basic Frames, and Circle Frames die sets for the different layers.

Cover Your Eyes

I just love this Newton's Nook Designs stamp set--Newton's Bright Birthday. I stamped them on an oval (NND-Oval Frames die set).  I added the three balloons using the NND Cycling Friends stamp set.  I added the pink and blue plaid paper die cut using the Frames & Flags scalloped die.  The paper is from Lawn Fawn--Perfectly Plaid.

Time to Celebrate

 After checking my stash of cards, I was really low on birthday ones. Here's one that features a darling cake-loving feline from Newton's Nook Designs Newton Loves Cake stamp set. I also used NND Banner Trio stamp set to stamp the sentiment from NND's Birthday Roundabout stamp set. The fabulous pastel plaid paper is Lawn Fawn's Perfectly Plaid paper pad. 

The below challenges inspired this card:

This card was inspired by The Library Challenge. The big, red bath tub on the cover had me pulling out an older Lawn Fawn's Rub-a-Dub Dub stamp set. I love the idea of a momma duck giving her babies a bubble bath!

I began by ink blending my background in Broken China Distress Oxide ink.  I added Newton's Nook Designs Bubbly stencil to make the background look like bubbles floating in the air.  A bit of black and white washi tape separates the wall from the floor.  I stamped and fussy cut out the ducks, bathtub and soap.  I pulled out my colored pencils to color them. I have to say I am liking that red tub!  For the bubbles, I added some Glossy Accents.

My card features many products from Newton's Nook Designs.  Newton's Nook is one of our amazing sponsors!  I used the Slimline Frames & Windows and Slimline Frames & Portholes die sets to create all those fun layers.  I then colored those ice-cream lovin' felines from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp set.  (One of these days I need to invest in the coordinating dies!)  I continued the ice cream theme using the bowl of ice cream from the Summer Scoops stamp set.  At last, I stamped the sentiment on a banner from the Banner Trio die set!  A super fun and festive birthday card just right for our 500th celebration.  If you like Newton's Nook Designs products, be sure to head over to the NND blog.  They are having their August preview week and see all the new products and another way to win some store credit!
