Fun fold, take 2

Another card up on Pysslotekets blogg today. I was really in to the fun folds and had to try this fold that I saw on Pinterest. You'll find all descriptions and measurements in the post.

Fun fold, take 1

I wanted to join the Lawnfawnatics challenge for Fun Folds and entered this card inspired by the talented Christy Gets Crafty who did the same fold technique in the inspiration post. I used a ton of stamps from Lawn Fawn from;
You are sublime
Ahoy, matey
Mermaid for you

You can read more about this card on Pyssloteket's blogg today.

I'm also over the moon because this card was picked as a Featured Fawnatic in the fun fold challenge.

Partying penguins

Today I'm up on Pysslotekets blogg with another installment of the #likaolika theme. All of the design team got the same paper pack from KaiserCraft (Beach Shack) where we have all created different things with it. Today I also show one card with the partying penguins from My Favorite Things "Penguins in paradise". I also used stamps from Mama Elephant (Summer days) and Newton's Nook (Cocktail mixer).

You're a treasure

Today I'm up on Pysslotekets blogg with another installment of the #likaolika theme. All of the design team got the same paper pack from KaiserCraft (Beach Shack) where we have all created different things with it. Today I show one card with the sweet Ahoy, matey pirates from Lawn Fawn.

Ahoy matey pirate box popup

It's vacation time and we've been away in Italy for a couple of weeks. It's been great, lots of sun and swimming in the ocean. But, I was definitely missing crafting. I also got really obsessed with getting the Lawn Fawn die Scalloped box popup and checked quite a few videos. When we got back, I could not wait any longer and took a trip to my local store Pyssloteket and acquired said die. This is the first project with it, using Lawn Fawn's Ahoy Matey stamp set;

I love when the card pops up. For this one I used papers from KaiserCraft Beach Shack collection and also a silver glitter paper from Pow.

All images are colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.

The panels with the blue anchor paper has got some distress ink in Blueprint Sketch.

The sentiment "Happy Birthday" is heat embossed on black cardstock.

This is what the card looks like when it's closed. The sentiments are stamped with Lawn Fawn inks.

This is the back of the card with a little place to write a personal message.

Happy birthday kitties

Just loving the cute little cat agenda stamps from Mama Elephant. I wanted to use the grid window die with ink blending so I decided to use both positive and negative part of the die cut and this is the outcome;

Here I used the a white frame and put the ink blended negative pieces into it. The sentiments are from Lawn Fawn Tiny tags sentiments and Tiny tags sentiments birthday add-on. The background is inked in rainbow order, I tried to do the same with the kitties accessories as well =)

The sentiments are heat embossed in gold.

Here I used the positive grid window die cut of the inked background and put the kitties inside. I thought it looked a bit empty of the inside so the card base have been inked with a stencil of kitty paws from Newton's Nook. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn Happy happy happy stamp set.

A little close up.

And an even closer look at the

Altenew dahlia stencils

I totally fell in love with Altenew's Dahlia layering stencil and had to get it. I cut out some masks with a large post-it note pad (full stick) and could then easily mask off the flowers and leaves and use different colors. I used distress ink and an ink blending tool.

I cut the finished panel down a bit and layered it with a piece of black card stock. The stamped sentiment reads "Thanks so much" in Swedish and is from Slöjd-Detaljer. I also added some Clear Droplets from Pretty Pink Posh and some sequins from a Neat and Tangled pack.

The finished panel was cut with the 2nd largest rectangle die from a Hero Arts set. I also cut a black A2-sized panel with the largest rectangle die in that same set. I offset the panel to one corner for something different. The stamped sentiment reads "Thanks so much" in Swedish and is from Slöjd-Detaljer.

The finished panel was cut with the largest rectangle die from a Hero Arts set. The stamped sentiment reads "A big hug" in Swedish and is from Slöjd-Detaljer. I also added some sequins from a Neat and Tangled pack.

The finished panel was cut with the 2nd largest rectangle die from a Hero Arts set. I also cut a black strip of cardstock and attached it to the left side. The finished card is a bit smaller than an standard A2-sized card. The sentiment is die cut with a Lawn Fawn die.
