Shoot for the stars pull tab slider

I've been wanting to use the Lawn Fawn Out of this world stamp set for a while and all of a sudden two great challenges comes along that gets you moving. Lawn Fawnatics is running a "rainbow" theme and The Male Room craft challege is having a space theme so this is what I came up with;

The background is done with distress inks in various colors. The images are colored with Zig clean color real brush markers. The sentiments and stars are heat embossed with silver embossing powder. I also used some Stickles for a little extra bling. When you pull that tab...

...up comes our little astronaut. The string is just taped on the back of the images and follows along as you pull the tab. All dies are Lawn Fawn; Slide on over to create the slider, Puffy cloud borders for the clouds and the Stitched rectangle for the panels.

Here's the card in action;

Happy howl-o-ween slider card

Another Halloween card. I was on a roll last weekend =)

I masked off a moon with a diecut circle and then colored the background with distress inks and sprayed some shimmer mist on it. The critters are colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The dies are all Lawn Fawn except for the small trees which are My Favorite Things. The dogs and pumpkin are from Happy Howloween. The little stars are cut with a die from glitter paper and glued on.

I had a hard time fitting my sentiment anywhere so I decided to try and make a slider card.

This is the finished slider, "Happy Howl-o-ween" =)

No tricks, just treats - kitty and dog halloween slider card

I'm not really a big Halloween fan (we don't really "celebrate" it where I live) but making Halloween cards turned out to be a lot of fun. Here is the second one created last weekend.

I masked off a moon with a diecut circle and then colored the background with distress inks and sprayed some shimmer mist on it. The critters are colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The dies are all Lawn Fawn except for the small trees which are My Favorite Things. The dog and pumpkin is from Happy Howloween and the kitty is from Meow you doin. The little stars are cut with a die from glitter paper and glued on.

Slider card with Lawn Fawn "Plane and simple" set

I absolutely adored the Lawn Fawn "Plane and simple"-set when it came out and have been wanting to try it out. I've seen some great designs on Pinterest that I wanted to try my hands at so I decided to make two cards at once.

First I ink blended two panels with Distress inks. The paper on the left is Ranger watercolor paper and the one on the right is Bristol Smooth. Interesting that there is such a difference in color intensity even though the same inks and the same time blending them on are used. I used Abandoned coral and Scattered straw for the colors. The lovely orange in the middle comes from blending the two colors together. I splattered the background with some water to get the mottled effect.

I then colored in a bunch of the images. (Want to make even more cards with this set). The idea is to use planes that have the same colors as the background.

Here is a dry run on the two cards before stamping sentiments and making the slider.

Here is the finished card with the slider element. I used a sliding disc from My Favorite Things behind the plane. The little clouds behind the plane are attached with a piece of acetate.

Do you want to see it fly? Check out the video on my Instagram below.

Circling rocket and flame with galaxy background

Another card with my new stamp set "Out of this world" from Lawn Fawn. I started by creating a couple of galaxy backgrounds with distress inks and also white Distress paint. I then stamped and colored the images with Zig clean color real brush markers.

I created the interactive element by die cutting 2 circles with my circle dies. I taped two dies together and die cut it at the same time. The frame cirle is then glued to the card base, the rest is popped up with foam tape. The rocket and flame is mounted on a coin with foam tape and placed in the gap. The flame is attached with a piece of acetate *smile*. I have used the EK Success powder tool quite heavily so that everything would glide friction free.

The sentiment is heat embossed in white.

Rocket on the other side. That trailing flame looks really cool in photos because you can't really see the acetate.

This is the inside of the card.

(A complete side note: I bought the co-ordinating dies for this stamp set. It really comes in handy with all these planet images. However, I'm wondering why they didn't include a die for the flame? I have other stamp sets where they have included the smallest dies such as bowties for critters etc... Just wondering... *smile* )

Interactive card with galaxy background

I just had to get the new stamp set "Out of this world" from Lawn Fawn. I now finally had some time to play with it and thought I would join the Lawn Fawnatics challenge and make an interactive card.

I started by creating a couple of galaxy backgrounds with distress inks and also white Distress paint. I then stamped and colored the images with Zig clean color real brush markers.

I created the interactive element by die cutting 2 circles with my circle dies. I taped two dies together and die cut it at the same time. The frame cirle is then glued to the card base, the rest is popped up with foam tape. The "earth" is mounted on a coin with foam tape and placed in the gap. I have used the EK Success powder tool quite heavily so that everything would glide friction free. (Note to self, the next time I try this out, the foam on the coin needs to be a bit smaller so it can swirl more easily in the circle shape!!)

So this is my card with the earth revolving around the little space guy or girl.

I have some more backgrounds and more colored images to test this with as well.

Close up.

And this is the inside of the card stamped with blue and grey ink.
