Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Interactive Cards | 3 Ways

Hello friends! Today I'm super excited to share three brand new interactive cards with you featuring my favorite die collection from the latest Lawn Fawn summer release, Reveal Wheel! This interactive die set can be used to create some truly amazing interactive cards and I can't wait to show you how it works! Not only am I featuring the Reveal Wheel today but each card features new stamps and dies from the summer release as well. I'll be showcasing Coaster Critters, Manatee-rific, Sweetest Flavor, and Stitched Wave Borders plus the Reveal Wheel Sentiments, Sweetest Flavor Add On, and Speech Bubble Add On. So much new goodness going on here. Let's get started!

My first card features the new Coaster Critters with the Reveal Wheel. I used the die that comes with the Reveal Wheel for my cut out/interactive element and customized with greetings from the Reveal Wheel Sentiments Stamp Set.

Clouds were created on the Mermaid Cardstock background using an images from the Plane and Simple Stamp Set and Mermaid Ink. The largest Small Stitched Rectangle Die is the same size as the Reveal Wheel die making it perfect for creating additional stitched layers for design. Grassy borders were created using the Stitched Hillside Borders dies die cut from Cilantro Cardstock.

My next Reveal Wheel card features some adorable manatees from the Mantee-rific Stamp Set and the awesome Reveal Wheel Speech Bubble Add On. Instead of the curved shape, the cutout revealed on this card fits inside this adorable speech bubble! I combined the Mantee-rific greetings with the Reveal Wheel Sentiments greetings for this sweet little scene card.

Distress Oxide Inks were used for the background, including the Tim Holtz Rays Stencil and inking the die cut Stitched Wave Borders. The image for this card were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers before being die cut and adhered to the scene.

My final card share today featues the Sweetest Flavor Stamp Set and coordinating dies and the Reveal Wheel Sweetest Flavor Add On die! This add on is fun because instead of a sentiment revealed in the window, this time the top of the ice cream cone changes colors and faces! The Sweetest Flavor Stamp Set comes with two faces and the cheek images but I wanted two additional faces so I used a couple from the Sweet Friends Stamp Set as well!

The ice cream cones and interactive wheel elements were all colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and watercolored with water in a water brush pen. 

Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard give the ice cream cones a pretty iridescent sparkly finish!

Mama Elephant | Rowdy Raccoons & Friends (mixing and matching sets)

Mixing and matching stamp sets is one of favorite things to do. Today I'm revisiting the Rowdy Raccoons Stamp Set and pairing these cuties with birds from Tea With Friends, strings of lights from Swinging Borders, and Grassy Trio Borders. A greeting from the Hello Friend Wishes Stamp Set gently curved to fit the design of the strings of lights is the perfect finishing touch to this card.

The background was stenciled with the Simon Says Stamp Clouds For Days Stencil on Bristol Smooth Cardstock using Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink.

Borders from the Swinging Borders Stamp Set were stamped over the stenciling using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. What I love about using water based inks on Bristol Smooth Cardstock is that you can color directly over the stenciling with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Once the strings of lights were colored, I added a layer of Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard for subtle sparkle and shine.

Raccoons, a wagon, and ducks from Rowdy Raccoons and birds from Tea With Friends were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and die cut with the coordinating Rowdy Raccoons Dies and Tea With Friends Dies.

A greeting from the Hello Friend Wishes was stamped along the bottom string of lights as shown.

Borders were die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock using the Grassy Trio Dies and inked with Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Inks before being adhered to the bottom of the background scene as shown.

The images were adhered in place to finish the card.

Honey Bee Stamps | Donut Shaped Card with Pinky the Pig

I'm still loving shaped cards and Honey Bee Stamps still creates the best shaped card designs! Today I have a donut shaped card with the new Pinky the Pig paper pieced die cut popping out from the center of the donut holding a supersized Hooray Die Cut. I love how easy it is to create amazing cards with only die cuts! 

The base of this awesome shaped card was die cut from Lawn Fawn Vanilla Malt Cardstock using the Donut Card dies. I inked the front of the shaped design with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink, spritzed the card with water from a Distress Sprayer and blotted dry with a paper towel.

The frosting layer was die cut from Chocolate Bar Cardstock and inked with Ground Espresso Distress Ink before being glued in place on the front of the Donut Card. The frosting layer was die cut again from smooth white cardstock, Sunflower Cardstock, Raspberry Cardstock, Fake Tan Cardstock, and Mermaid Cardstock. I doubled up the "sprinkles" and glued them in place on the donut.

Pinky was die cut from Ballet Slippers, Paper Bag, and Black Licorice Cardstock. Pinky was inked with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink and adhered to look like she's popping out from the center of the donut!

The Hooray For You Dies were die cut from Mermaid Cardstock and smooth white cardstock, layered, and adhered so it looks like Pinky is holding the "Hooray" like a banner.

A white gel pen was used to add detail to the die cuts as shown. White Blizzard Nuvo Crystal Drops was used to give "Hooray" subtle sparkle and shine. A fine tip black pen was used to create eyelashes on this cute pig!

The inside of the card was finished by stamping greeting from the Donut Worry Stamp Set using Mermaid Ink and Ballet Slippers Ink.

Simon Says Stamp | Summertime Picture Book Lion

I can't get enough of the Picture Book Animals. Just a couple days ago I shared THIS otter picture book scene card and today I want to share this bright and colorful summertime Picture Book Lion card perfect for sending summertime greetings!

The background of the card was inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and the new Clouds For Days Stencil. Y'all know I'm a sucker for cloud stencils, right?!!!! You can do these awesome cloud shapes or you can  use the sides of the stencil to create cloud borders. LOVE this stencil!!!

Borders were die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock using the Drifting Stitches Border Dies, inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and adhered to the bottom edge of the stenciled cloud panel as shown. The front panel was adhered with foam adhesive.

The Summertime Die was die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock and both the positive and negative spaces were inked with Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, and Candied Apple Distress Inks. Foam Adhesive was applied to the back of the rectangle and the letters were inlaid back into the design before it was adhered to the scene as shown.

The Picture Book Lion was due cut from Simon Says Stamp Sunshine Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Sunflower Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Chocolate Bar Cardstock, and Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Cardstock. The Sunshine pieces were inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the Sunflower pieces inked with Wild Honey Distress Ink. The lion was assembled to sit atop the Summertime Die. Glossy Accents was added to the nose and Copic Marker pink circles for the cheeks finished with white dots with a white gel pen.

Greetings from the new Four Seasons Stamp Set were stamped on Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Cardstock using embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greeting was trimmed into a thin strip and adhered along the bottom edge of the design.

Simon Says Stamp | Picture Book Otter Card

You guys probably already know I'm obsessed with the entire Picture Book Die Collection at Simon Says Stamp. In fact, I'm linking to more cards created with these amazing dies further down in my post, if you've missed some. These little cuties are so much fun to create with and make the most amazing cards! The Picture Book Otter, Woodgrain Block, and Whoa You're Amazing greeting die make the most adorable scene when paired with the Waves and Hills stenciled background.

The background was created from Bristol Smooth Cardstock and inked with the Waves and Hills Stencil and Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks.

The wood "log" was die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock using the Woodgrain Block Die and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink and adhered along the bottom edge of the scene. An additional "wave" or "water" was die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock using a Drifting Stitches Border Die and inked with Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks.

The Picture Book Otters were die cut from Lawn Fawn Paper Bag Cardstock, Vanilla Malt Cardstock, Ballet Slippers Cardstock, and Black Licorice Cardstock. The otters were assembled and adhered in place as shown.

For the die cut greeting I die cut the Whoa You're Amazing die from smooth white cardstock and backed the greeting with foam adhesive. I die cut the greeting from Lawn Fawn Cilantro, Mermaid, Peacock, and Blue Jay Cardstock and Simon Says Stamp Mint Cardstock. I inlaid the colorful letters in the white die cut greeting and adhered the sentiment to the card as shown.

An additional sentiment from the Emphatic Stamp Set was stamped on black cardstock with embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being trimmed into a thin strip and adhered to the card.

The design was finished with a scattering of Honey Bee Stamps Be Mine Candy Heart accents.

Mama Elephant | Oh Happy Day (Layering Distress Oxide Inks + Embossing)

Hello! Today I have a simple card share for you featuring the new Mama Elephant Oh Happy Day Stamp Set! I thought it would be fun to create a simple almost one layer design with stenciling, stamping and embossing. Lucky Clover continues to be a favorite ink color, bright and fresh and perfect for warmer temps!

I used the Simon Says Stamp Leafy Frame Stencil and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink to create the colorful masked background. I sprayed the background with water from a Distress Sprayer, blotted it dry, and then used a heat tool to make sure the background was completely dry before moving on to the next step.

I stamped the large scripty greeting from Oh Happy Day in the center of the card with Lucky Clover Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to "set" the ink. I slightly shifted the paper in my MISTI, stamped the greeting with clear embossing ink and sprinkled on white embossing powder. This gives the greeting the look of having a green "shadow"!

Flowers and leaves from the Oh Happy Day Stamp Set were stamped with Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Lucky Clover, and Blueprint Sketch Inks and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to set the ink.

A sentiment phrase from Oh Happy Day was stamped on smooth white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, trimmed into a thin strip and adhered to the card with foam adhesive.

The design was finished with a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Simply White and Morning Dew.

Mama Elephant | Animal Parade

Mixing and matching critters or images is one of my favorite card-making techniques. Today I'm sharing this Animal Parade card featuring the new Mama Elephant Animal Parade Stamp Set and coordinating dies mixed with a raccoon from the Rowdy Raccoon Stamp Set and birds from the Tea With Friends Stamp Set.

Two rectangles were die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock using the largest of the new Basic Rectangles dies for the background of my card. From one of the rectangles, two Grassy Trio borders were die cut for the bottom edge of the card.

The background panel was inked with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink and then Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink was adhered through the Tim Holtz Rays Stencil for the two-tone sunshine sky. The background was spritzed with water from a Distress Sprayer for additional distressing.

The two grassy borders were inked with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink and adhered along the bottom edge of the background.

Critters and images from the Animal Parade Stamp Set, Rowdy Raccoon Stamp Set, and Tea With Friends Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth cardstock using Jet Black ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating Animal Parade Dies, Rowdy Raccoons Die, and Tea With Friends Dies. The banner was customized with a greeting from the Animal Parade Stamp Set.

The music notes, balls, and remaining greeting from the Animal Parade Stamp Set were stamped directly on the inked background.

Glossy Accents on the balls, noses, beak, and music notes finish this adorable scene card!

Simon Says Stamp June 2018 Card Kit | Patterned Paper + Die Cutting (Set of 3 Cards) & GIVEAWAY

The Simon Says Stamp June 2018 Card Kit, Fly Me Away!

You can pick up the June 2018 card kit HERE for just $34.99 + shipping. Or if you’d like to receive this kit and future kits for only $29.99 + shipping per month, you can SUBSCRIBE HERE. When you subscribe you will receive kits delivered to your door automatically.

This trio of cards was inspired by THIS card HERE. Where the original card features stamping and lots of watercoloring, these cards feature the patterned paper from the kit and die cutting. These come together so fast and easy! My favorite thing about these cards is that no matter the theme or occasion, this design works. I used sentiments from the Beautiful Flowers Stamp Set for a thank you, birthday, and love themed card.

The patterned papers from the kit were trimmed to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and I used a Simon Says Stamp Frames Die to die cut a thin frame from each background. I also die cut the frame from Peacock Teal Cardstock, Cornflower Cardstock, and Gold Mirror Cardstock.

The outer frame, thin cardstock frame, and inner panel were adhered to a side fold card base.

Greetings from the Beautiful Flowers Stamp Set were stamped on each background with Versafine Onyx Black Ink as shown.

Butterflies were die cut from scraps of the patterned papers from the kit and vellum using the Adeline Butterfly, Stitching Butterflies, and Flickering Butterflies. The butterflies were scattered throughout the design as shown.

Pool Party Sequins were scattered throughout the design and the card was finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Duck Egg Blue and Simply White.
