Oh Gnome Mushroom House Cards

Happy Monday!  

Time for another creations with my stamp set of the month, Oh Gnome! by Lawn Fawn. In today's cards I am featuring an add on die set that Lawn Fawn released with the Oh Gnome stamp and die set, Mushroom House die set. I knew this die set was a must have to go with my Oh Gnome stamp set, but could also be used with my critter stamps as well. 

I actually thought this die set made mushroom shaped cards when I first saw it, but then realized that it die cuts a mushroom shape to put on a card.  So, I knew I would create mushroom shaped cards with the set, and it is really very easy to do. 

The finished size of these cards is about 3-1/4" x 3-1/4". Small and oh so cute! NOTE: If you watch my video on YouTube of the making of this card, I say that it could fit in a 3" x 3" envelope, that is actually not true.

I really love that the door opens up and you can put your gnome inside to peek out. 

And here you can see how this card opens up. I have stamped a sentiment from the Oh Gnome stamp set on the inside. It is also a great place to write a personal message.

I loved making this one so much I decided to try my hand at a brown mushroom house. 

With this card in my hand you can get a better feel for the size. They are mini. 

You can watch the making of these mini cards on my YouTube channel. Be sure to click over and watch it on YouTube, so you can be entered to win one of these cards! All you have to do is like and comment of they video.  I will randomly select a winner and announce them  on next week's video! 

Also, if you watched last week's video you will want to watch this one, I announce the winners of the Shadow Box cards at the beginning of the video.

Oh Gnome! Shadow Box Card

Hey there stamping friends, it's Monday, and that means it's time for another creation with my stamp set of the month!  My pick this month is the Oh Gnome stamp set by Lawn Fawn. And let me take a moment to share a little change with you, from now on my video demonstration for the Stamp Set of the Month will be on my YouTube channel instead of on my Facebook page. I will release that video on Mondays and will be giving away the card I make!  All you need to do is watch the video on my YouTube channel like it and comment. I will randomly select a winner and announce the winner the following week, on the next Stamp Set of the Month video! 

Now on to the super cute Shadow Box Card. The Shadow Box is made using the Shadow Box die set from Lawn Fawn as well as the Park Add On die set. You can use these dies to create any cute little scene. I love the depth you get when you look into this card, reminds me of a view finder picture. You remember looking into the red binocular like toy and seeing 3-D scenes??? That is what this is like, but with paper! So fun!

The box is so simple to make, you just die cut two of the largest die from the Shadow Box die set. One of them you die cut a window in, which you can do right when you cut the box piece, saving time!  Then to create dimension you add die cut hills to the inside of the card, this is where you attach your die cut and stamped images to create you scene. Simple and so much fun!

If you look through to the back you can see there are trees, a cloud and a girl gnome. In the middle we have a gnome going for a ride in a wheel barrow and a mushroom. On the front we have trees, grass and some flowers. So with the front and the back of the Shadow Box and the two hill inserts you have 4 layers you can dress up.  But that is not all, you can also dress up the sides and back of the outside of the Shadow Box too.

A note about the back of the Shadow Box. I covered mine with a piece of Watercolor Wishes paper. On one card I die cut this with the largest rectangle from the Shadow Box set and on another I cut a piece that measures 3-1/8" x 2-3/4" to cover the back entirely. This is the same size paper that I used for the inside back panel of the Shadow Box.

For all the stamped images I used Canson Watercolor paper. I inked up the images with Clear Pigment Ink and embossed them with black powder. To color them in I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Below I have listed all the markers I used.

Blue Shirt and Hat: 032 Persian Blue, 030 Blue

Red Hat and Dress and Mushroom Tops: 022 Carmine Red, 020 Red, 999 Blender

Black Pants: 010 Black, 095 Dark Gray

Shoes, Belt, Beard: 065 Mid Brown, 072 Beige

Blond Hair: 050 Yellow, 999 Blender

Pull Tab Die set for an Easter Card

For today's card I am using the Lawn Fawn Pull Tab die set to make a chick pop up out of an egg. The Pull Tab die set was an add on die set that Lawn Fawn released to go with the Let's Toast collection. It has a pull tab mechanism that makes the toast pop up out of the toaster. It is so much fun and pretty easy to use.

I have used it for a few other things besides the toaster and love making interactive cards with this die set. So, let's get to today's card.

The card on the right shows you what the card looks like before you pull the tab and make the chick pop up.

When you pull the tab the chick pops up out of the egg.

To color in my chick I did some no line coloring using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I was my first go at it and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I mean I stamp because I am not the best at drawing. But I ended up loving the look and will definitely be doing more no line coloring. It was not as hard as I thought.

Since putting a Pull Tab card together is easier to show than to explain, I have a video for you on the making of this card.

If you have any questions about this card please let me know, I'd love to hear from you! I have linked all the products I used to make this card below.

Ears To You Mini Basket

 Besides card making, I also love making cute things like this mini Easter basket. It's fun to give a little something sometimes. It's just a few pieces of candy but the little basket is what makes it special.

And this basket is so easy to make!  And you can dress it up with any image or die cut on the front.

Here's how you can make this little basket.

Start with a piece of card stock that is 3-1/2" x 3".

Score this on all four sides at 1".

Cut four flaps buy cutting on the scored lines on the 3-1/2" sides. 

Put adhesive on these tabs to put the box/basket together. I prefer liquid glue for this step, but a heavy duty double stick tape would work too.

Once you have adhered all four of the tabs your mini basket is complete.

Now you can adhere the handle. It measures 1/2" x 7". Of course the length and width of this handle can be adjusted to suit your personalized basket.

Then you dress up the front. For my baskets I used the Ears to You ATS stamp and die set by Fun Stampers Journey.

I wanted to make 10 baskets, to give to each of the kids in the science class I teach at our home school Co-Op. So, I made a bunny in each of the 10 Confectionery Days colors, it's a pastel line that Fun Stampers Journey carries in inks and card stock.

For each basket I stamped the bunny with clear pigment ink and embossed it with White Embossing powder. Then I stamped the middle of the ear with the same color of ink as the paper. I used my MISTI stamp positioning tool to do this so that I could stamp it repeatedly to intensify the color. Because sometimes when you stamp tone on tone the ink can dry back too light so that you are not able to see the stamped image. Another great reason to use a stamp positioning tool.

I made two bunnies for each basket, putting one the front and one on the back, so this basket is cute from either side.

And I added a die cut strip to each of the handles as well. This was to add another decorative element, but it also helped to make the handle more sturdy.

I wanted to included the sentiment, so for each basket I stamped the sentiment onto Whip Cream card stock with the coordinating ink on a 1/4" scrap. I flagged one end with my scissors and pierced a hole in the other end. I then tied the tag onto the handle with White Thread.

These boxes are pretty easy to make and would also be fun to make with kids. You can put anything you like on the front of this basket, even change it up for other occasions. In my basket I was able to fit a Reeces Egg and a smaller chocolate carrot as well as a pinch of Easter grass.

If you decide to make some of the sweet little baskets I hope that you would share them with me, I'd love to see what you create!

Below you can watch the making of these baskets, from last weeks Facebook Friday video.

Thank you so much for stopping by I hope you are inspired to make something cute. If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out.

Below you will find all the supplies I used to make these baskets.

 

Oh Gnome Waterfall Card

This card all began with a special request from a fellow stamping friend. She saw a waterfall card, an interactive mechanism that reveals new images as you pull a tab, in a magazine. The problem was that the magazine was from Europe, she asked if I could create this kind of card so that she could recreate it as well. It has been many years since I have done a waterfall card and thought it would be fun to do again with the new Oh Gnome stamp set by Lawn Fawn.

I'll give you the directions in this post but you will most likely want to watch the video at the bottom of this post as well. This will help you with assembly of the card.

With the card closed you can see each of the flaps that are a part of the waterfall mechanism.

Notice the arrow tab on the outer right edge of the mechanism. This is where you pull.

As you pull this tab the square images on top begin to flip over, revealing the next scene.

On the top portion of the waterfall mechanism you have 4 scenes.

And with the bottom tab all the way extended you reveal a final 5th scene. A great place for the sentiment.

Now let me give you all the measurements for the essential parts of this card.

Waterfall Mechanism : 9" x 1-7/8", score this at 2", 2-3/4", 3-1/2", 4-1/4"

Waterfall Base Strip (looks like a tree trunk in my card): 1" x 4"

Scene Squares: Base Layer - 2" x 2", Top Layer - 1-7/8" x 1-7/8"

Note: you can just stamp onto the base layer, you do not need a top layer and you do not need to have all the stamped and die cut images, stamping right on the base layer would make this a very quick and easy card.

Notes on attaching the mechanisms.

First attach the Waterfall Base Strip: put double stick tape at each end and attach this strip only at the ends, leaving it open in the middle so the waterfall mechanism can slide underneath. This gets attached about 1/2" from the right edge of your card front panel.

Attaching the Scene Squares: First you will want to complete the final scene on the longest section of the Waterfall Mechanism, with the scored lines on the left. When that scene is done fold on all the score lines, folding them all down, not in a Z fold. All the folds go in the same direction.  And the mechanism should be folded in half, the scored section closed over the top of the section you just designed. Once your small scenes are designed as you like and the top layers are adhered to the base layers you are ready to adhere them to the mechanism.  Start with your final scene. Adhere this to the first section, the section of the mechanism that is on the right end. Put the scene square right up to the score line with out going over it. Adhere the next scene, taking care to go in order from the last scene and ending with the first scene. Each time you are adhering the square right up against the score line. Take note that the squares will overlap each other. Use the previous square to line up the one you are adhering down, so that all the squares are lined up top to bottom. Now the mechanism will look like a book, the cover has the scene squares and when you open it you see the final scene on the long section.

Attaching the Waterfall Mechanism to the Base Strip: Slide the long section of the mechanism under the base strip. Open the mechanism and put a strip of double stick tape on the under side of the left edge (the last scene square) top to bottom. Close this and adhere this to the very edge of the base strip.

I put my waterfall mechanism low on my card to leave room to make my base strip look like a tree, but you can put yours in the center of the card.

Notes on pulling the tab.

I added a little tab to the end of the mechanism indicating to the recipient to pull. On my card this can be hard to grab a hold of. Two things you can to to make it easier to get a hold of is; 1) use a piece of ribbon, a folded in half piece of ribbon that is stapled to the mechanism would extend past the edge of the card, making it easier to grab. 2) use a circle punch to punch a half circle in your card base, then the recipient can easily grab the tab to pull and does not have to put their finger in between the tab and the card to grab the tab.

Don't forget the inside of the card. With all the weight on the front of the card it is nice to add a layer to the inside, balancing out the weight.

I used the Mushroom Border die set by Lawn Fawn to make the hill on the inside of my card. I attached in only on the bottom and sides, creating a pocket for a gift card. And since all the sentiments are stamped on the outside of this card I would used the sky space to write my personal message.

You can watch the making of this card from Monday night's Facebook Live video here:

If you have any questions on the making of a waterfall card just let me know. It is a pretty easy interactive card to make, I hope you give it a try. I have listed all the supplies I used to make this card below.

Easter Chick Banner with No Line coloring

Have you tired No Line Coloring yet?  It is a technique where you stamp your image in a light color of ink or a disappearing ink. Then you use your markers or pencils to draw in the lines of the stamped image and color it in. This is usually done with tints and shades of the color being used to get depth and dimension in the image. I have been practicing this technique and decided to use it for my Easter Banner.

Each chick on this banner has been colored using this technique and Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I wanted a different color chick for each egg. A matchy matchy look. So the chick matches the egg. Let's look at each banner piece and I will tell you which Zig markers I used on each.

The chick I used is from the Peep Peep stamp set by Fun Stampers Journey.

The first chick was stamped in Bubble Gum ink (by FSJ). Then outlined with #202 Peach Pink. Then I blended that out with #026 Light Pink and #999 Blender.

The mini eggs, also stamps from the Peep Peep stamp set were colored in this same way with the same markers.

The orange chick was stamped with Orange Creamcicle ink. I then traced with stamped image with Zig marker #070 - Orange. I blended that out with #052 - Bright Yellow and #999 - Blender. For this banner piece I put the two small eggs on one side and added the top of the larger cracked egg. The large egg is from the die set, Holiday Window Box Plates.

This yellow chick, the most realistic chick was stamped with Banana Cream ink. Then outlined with Zig marker #050 - Yellow and blended with #051- Lemon Yellow. I know I used another orangeish brown color to ownline with eye, but did not write that one down. Each of the eggs has a letter die cut from it. I then stamped the coordinating letter on a piece of light colored card stock, Banana Cream in this case,  with Summer Days ink. I then glued this behind the egg, so the letter was lined up in the die cut opening. I finished off each letter with my Clear Wink of Stella pen.

A green chick!  It's funny, but I do love the look of the entire banner. It has that fun, bright easter/spring feel to it. Like plastic eggs, and plastic grass and peeps and jelly beans.  The green chick was stamped with Sweet Pear ink. I then outlined him with my Zig marker #041- Light Green and blended out with marker #045- Pale Green, also using a bit of #999 - Blender.

The blue chick was stamped with Pool Play ink, outlined with #031 - Cobalt Blue and blended with #302 - Haze Blue and #999 Blender. On each banner piece I also stamped the Peep sentiment from the Peep Peep stamp set in same dark ink color I used to stamp the letter for each banner. You can find all the ink pads I used at the bottom of this post where I linked all the supplies I used.

The purple chick was stamped with Pretty Amethyst ink, outlined with #081 - Light Violet, blended with #083 - Lilac and #999 - Blender.  For the purple banner piece I wanted a plaid paper that had some purple in it but the paper pack I was using, Perfectly Plaid Spring by Lawn Fawn, did not have a purple pattern. So, I created some purple dashed lines on the blue print using a purple gel pen from the Just Write Gels (GREAT pens!) By the way, I am pretty sure this paper is retired.

I do love to make banners. This one I smaller so instead of hanging it on my mantel I have it hanging in my craft room, let's face it, that is where I am all the time so I will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

I created this banner on my Facebook Friday video, if you missed it LIVE you can still view it below.

You can find me on Facebook, here, I do live videos every Monday and Friday night.

Oh Gnome!

So excited for April, I have a spring in my step because Spring is in the air!  Also, a new month means a new stamp set of the month!  Each month I pick a stamp set that I love and feature it on my Facebook page each Monday night on a LIVE video, then Tuesday morning you will find the creation right here on the blog!  Stay tuned next week for more exciting offerings with the stamp set of month of April! 

So, what is the April Stamp set of the month??? Oh Gnome, I hope I am not leaving you in suspense!

It is the Oh Gnome stamp and die set by Lawn Fawn...

I mean, how can you resist them??? Too cute, right!  Gnomes, mushrooms and punny sayings!  I am in!  I wanted my first card to show two little gnomes in love.  Maybe just married, maybe with their first new home, maybe an anniversary card, or a father's day card for a hubby, there are so many good occasions to give this card.

You may notice that cute mushroom house.  It's a great die set you can use with the gnomes or own it's own, called Mushroom House. I only used a few dies from this set to keep it simple but you can really make a scene with this die set! And you can group that with the Mushroom border die set for more details in your scene. Which is the die set I used for my grassy hill.

I used Distress Oxide inks to make a green ombre panel to die cut my grass from. I love how the greens so seamlessly blend! I used Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. For the sky, I use Tumbled glass making the top of the card darker and let it fade to white as it got close to where the sky would meet the grass. Then I stamped the sentiment over the top of the sky in Salty Ocean ink. I use my MISTI so that I could  get the two sentiment stamps straight and so that I could stamp it multiple time in the same spot on the card, to intensify the ink.

If you missed last nights video you can still view the making of this card here.

 

If you don't already click over to my Facebook page and LIKE it so that you can come watch me live next Monday night for another fun creation with these products.

Below you will find all the products linked that I used to make this card. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Stamping!
