The background of a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Mermaid Cardstock panel was stenciled with Fish Tank Ink and the MFT Make Waves Stencil. The Magic Picture Changer Add On frame was die cut from the background panel. This ensures that the interactive element matches the background perfectly.
The Magic Picture Changer was assembled per the instructions in the video tutorial above. The Magic Picture Changer frame add on was adhered over the interactive element, and then was adhered to the card background with foam adhesive as shown.
Waves were die cut from Lawn Fawn Mermaid Cardstock and Simon Says Stamp Island Blue Cardstock using the Stitched Wave Borders Dies. The borders were adhered along the bottom edge of the scene.
Additional images from the Sublime and Duh-nuh stamp sets were stamped on smooth white cardstock, colored in with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating Sublime and Duh-nuh dies. The images were adhered to the scene. Glossy Accents was added to the bubbles and die cut hearts for a smooth, glossy finish.

Happy Tuesday friends! I'm thrilled to be joining My Favorite Things for their MFT & Friends Feature for the March 2019 Release! I've created a trio of cards to share today featuring lots of new stamps and dies from the release. All of the cards showcase the spotlight inlay technique with the brand new A2 Rectangle Frames. This is such a fun and easy technique to instantly add a border to any design.

Watch the creation of these spotlight inlay cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
My first two cards feature a stenciled background using the previously released Grassy Edges Stencil and the brand new Ray of Light Stencil. The Grassy Edges was applied to the bottom of each panel with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and the Ray of Light was inked to the top of the design with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Inks using the Life Changing Brushes.
The new A2 Rectangle Frames were used to die cut a frame from the background. Two additional frames were die cut from smooth white cardstock. To put the background together, adhesive was applied to a card base and the outer frame, new white die cut frame, and inside rectangle were adhered to the card base first for an inlay die cut look.
Next, a white frame was added on top and finally the stenciled frame was adhered to finish. The entire stenciled panel is shown but the frame part is "popped up" drawing your eye in and emphasizing the frame!
Ducks and clouds from the brand new Just Ducky Stamp Set were stamped with the Ink on 3 fadeout ink onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock and colored with the no-line technique using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The images were die cut with the coordinating Just Ducky dies and adhered to the scene as shown.
A sentiment from the Just Ducky Stamp Set was stamped along the bottom of the frame with Lawn Fawn Jalapeno Ink and a scattering of Honey Bee Stamps Candy Hearts in Kiss Me were adhered to finish the design.
The bunny card was stenciled much the same, only a smaller frame was used to die cut the background. Two sentiments from the Easter Bunnies Stamp Set were stamped on the background with Lawn Fawn Sunflower and Jalapeno Inks.
Easter Bunnies images were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, die cut with the coordinating Easter Bunnies dies, and adhered to the inlay frame design as shown. The card was finished with a scattering of Honey Bee Stamps Candy Hearts in Hug Me.
For my final card today I stamped the new Fresh-Cut Flowers Background cling stamp on a Bristol Smooth Cardstock card panel using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The images and background were watercolored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush pen.
Once dry, the background was die cut with an A2 Rectangle Frame and assembled like the previous two cards.
A vellum banner was die cut using a Stitched Fishtail Sentiments Strip and stamped with a greeting from the Anything But Basic Encouragement Stamp Set using embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The strip was run through a Xyron Sticker Maker and adhered to the card. The design was finished with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Pansy Purple Jewels and a Honey Bee Stamps Crystal Clear Heart.

I absolutely LOVE the kit this month! And I made lots and lots of cards with the Main Kit and Add Ons! All of my cards today feature the Reactive Inks from the Main Kit and fun easy to do techniques. Let's get started!
My first card share today is my aquarium style card featuring the Main Kit only! The aquarium "window" was created from acetate and a sentiment from the Main Kit was stamped with Cotton White StazOn Ink. The elements on the frame were colored in with Copic Markers and the images inside the aquarium were stamped with Hero Arts Inks. The background of the aquarium was inked with Reactive Blue Water and Sea Glass inks, spritzed with water from a Distress Sprayer, and blotted dry. The inks "react" with the water for stunning effects!
The following Copic Markers were used to color in the frame:
Leaves: G21, G24, G28
Seaweed: YG21, YG23, YG17
Red Coral: R35, R39
Orange Coral: YR04, YR09
Starfish:YR31, YR24
The following Hero Arts inks were used to stamp the fish and other solid images inside the aquarium:
The fishbowl shaped card was created with Paper Layering Goldfish in Bowl Dies. A mask was used to mask off the "water line" at the top of the bowl and the Reactive Blue Water and Sea Glass Inks. The Bubbles Bold Prints background was stamped over the inked background with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The ink from inside the bubbles was "lifted" out by applying water with a water brush pen and lifting it off with a dry paper towel.
A greeting from the Pet Goldfish Stamp Set was stamped along the top of the bowl using the Reactive Blue Water Ink. Images from the Pet Goldfish Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies before being adhered to the design. The goldfish bowl was finished with a scattering of embellishments from the Main Kit.
Here's another design featuring a fish bowl! This card features the Bubbles Bold Prints stamped on inked Hero Hues Mist Cardstock using the Reactive Blue Water Ink. Water and Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer were sprayed over the cardstock for a fun iridescent effect! The fish bowl and fish from the Fishy Stamp and Cut were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onxy Black Ink, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies. The images were adhered to the bubble background. A sentiment from the Pet Goldfish Stamp Set was stamped and embossed next to the fish bowl. White cardstock borders were adhered above and below the strip using foam adhesive. The card was finished with a scattering of bubble embellishments.
This next card features the reactive lift technique from the fish bowl shaped card but is the same design as the card above. This time images from the Pet Turtle Stamp Set were stamped with Fade Out Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers for the no line coloring look. The images were die cut with the coordinating Pet Turtle dies and adhered as shown. A grass borders was created by die cutting Hero Hues Pesto Cardstock with the Thorn Tree and Grasses Fancy Die.
My last card share today features the Fish and Bubbles Confetti Die inked with Reactive Blue Water and Sea Glass Inks, spritzed with water from a Distress Sprayer and the White Iridescent Shimmer spray. The shimmer really is the star of the background on this beautiful design! The die was die cut again from Hero Hues Adriatic Cardstock and the fish were inlaid into the background. Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were adhered to the "bubbles".
The Color Layering Betta Fish was inked with Cornflower, Indigo, and Navy inks, die cut with the coordinating die and adhered to the card with foam adhesive. The vines were stamped with Fade Out ink, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and adhered along the bottom edge of the design.

Hello inky friends! Creating colorful thinking of you/sympathy style cards are one of my favorite ways to send sunshine to someone who is going through a tough time or who has lost a loved one. To balance out the color, I did some Alcohol Lift Ink stamping with a Beautiful Flowers 2 image and finished with a stacked die cut greeting and stamped and embossed sentiment strips on vellum. The Mini Flowers & Leaves were die cut from trimmed strips of the alcohol inked backgrounds in order to not waste any of the pretty paper!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these alcohol pearl inked rainbow background cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
I set aside the backgrounds to completely air dry. The drying process can be sped up with a heat tool, if you wish, as well. When I am creating alcohol inked backgrounds I prefer to made several at once while the supplies are out and my work surface is already messy!
The large floral image from the Beautiful Flowers 2 Stamp Set was placed in a MISTI, inked with Alcohol Lift Ink and stamped over the rainbow backgrounds. The ink was then blotted dry with a clean paper towel and finally buffed to reveal the lift image of the flowers!
I trimmed each background a bit differently to remove any area that wasn't stamped as nice as others. Each panel measures 4" x 5 1/4". I kept all the scraps to die cut later.
The Thinking of You Die was die cut three times each for every card, adhered one on top of another and glued to the backgrounds as shown.
Additional sentiments from the Moments of Grace Stamp Set were stamped on vellum with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being die cut with a Nested Banners Die. The vellum banners were run through a Xyron Sticker Maker and adhered over the background. I love that by using vellum, the beautiful backgrounds are still visible!
Mini Flowers & Leaves were die cut from the leftover alcohol pearl inked backgrounds and adhered to the design to a bit of embellishment. The center of the flowers were adorned with Pretty Pink Posh White Jewels.

Hello! I'm so excited to share this fun little scene card today. After revisiting the Lawn Fawn Stitched Garden Border with THIS card recently, my mind is just spinning with ideas for this die set! I knew i wanted to create an Easter card with the Simon Says Stamp Big Picture Book Bunny and I thought the Garden Border would be the perfect way to create a scene and y'all, I was right! Throw in some Lawn Fawn Mini Easter Eggs and I couldn't love this more!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of this big picture bunny scene card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The background of the card was created by stenciling the MFT Clouds on smooth white cardstock with Lawn Fawn Minty Fresh Ink. A border was die cut from smooth white cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Garden Border die and colored in with E55, E57, and E47 Copic Markers. Carrots from the same die collection were colored in with YR01, YR04, YR09, YG21, YG23, and YG17. The carrots were tucked into the garden border and the border was adhered along the bottom edge of the background.
The Simon Says Stamp Big Picture Book Bunny and Big Picture Book Little Body dies were die cut from smooth white cardstock and colored in with W00, W1, W3, and R00. The bunny was assembled and adhered tucked behind the garden border as shown.
Lawn Fawn Mini Easter Eggs were die cut from smooth white cardstock, colored in with Copic Markers (RV52, RV55, G00, G02, Y11, Y08, BV11, BV13), layered, and adhered to the scene.
Eyelashes were drawn onto the bunny with a fine top black pen. A white gel pen was used to add highlights to the nose and the eyes. Glossy Accents was applied to the eyes and nose for a glossy finish.

Hello friends! I'm super excited to share this tutorial featuring the brand new Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer dies! If you're obsessed with interactive cards like I am you're going to love this latest addition to the amazing Lawn Fawn collection of interactive dies!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
To watch the creation of this interactive magic picture changer card from start to finish, click HERE or watch below:
To create the Magic Picture Changer, the fortune cookie images from the Year Eight Stamp Set were stamped on Neenah smooth white cardstock with Jet Black Ink. The images were masked and then colored in with Copic Markers, including the background. I didn't worry too much about being neat with the background coloring as the frame will hide any imperfections. What makes this Magic Picture Changer work is that it's flat, so no coordinating dies can be used for these images.
The Magic Picture Changer was assembled according to the directions in the video. As far as interactive cards go, this is one of the easier ones, in my opinion. It just "pops" together! So easy once you're done one! Yay! The pull tab from the Magic Picture Changer was die cut from Lawn Fawn Speckles patterned paper and stamped with "pull here" from the Push Here Stamp Set. The tab was glued in place at the top of the slider. This keep the slider in place so it doesn't slide down to low. The tab is wider than the slider opening so it acts as a "stopper".
The Magic Picture Changer Add On frame was die cut from Black Licorice Cardstock and adhered to the front of the interactive embellishment. A sentiment from the Simply Celebrate Stamp Set was stamped at the top with clear embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder.
Images from the Let's Roll Stamp Set were stamped on another piece of smooth white cardstock using Jet Black Ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating Let's Roll Dies. The images were adhered along the bottom edge of the Magic Picture Changer as shown. Be sure to keep any adhesive on the frame and not on the interactive element. ;)
The Magic Picture Changer was adhered to the center of the panel with foam adhesive which makes grabbing the pull tab much easier!
