Hello Friend - Mama Elephant Mini Cat Agenda


Hello papercrafters! Today I'm sharing a cute card using the new Mama Elephant/Hampton Art Mini Cat Agenda stamp and die combo set. This set is a new add on to the original Mini Cat Agenda.
It has twelve of the cutest cats ever in various poses and is just the right number to use along with the Grid Window frame cuts. For the sentiment, I have used the Hello Friend Script die and is just the perfect size to go across over the frames. 
The cats were a lot of fun to colour in, they have been stamped first with Hero Arts Intense Black ink and then coloured with Copic markers. The coordinating dies greatly help to cut the cats out and just brings them to life. 

To help display each of the cats, I die cut out the Grid Window Frame using the heavier weight 110 lbs Neena White cardstock. I die cut out three to get extra thickness and height to make the frame pop.


The background has been ink blended using Ranger distress oxide inks: Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral and Wilted Violet. The four colours make up the bands for each of the four rows in a ombre gradient effect. I then splattered water with a paint brush to get the subtle water distress effects for added texture.

The Hello Friend Scripty die has been die cut out three times and glued together to get a chipboard look in black cardstock. 

All the cute cats have been adhered with foam dimensionals to make them pop as well as clear glossy accents and clear Wink of Stella for the items they are holding and wearing.  


This set is available to pre-order from Bizzy Becs Online Store and is such a great value as a combo set. It's great for many occasions from cards to planners and especially to cat lovers.

Hello papercrafters! Here's another card using the wonderful Fairy Kisses set from Hero Arts along with a few extra sets to create and compliment the scene. 

The Fairy Kisses set is available to pre-order from Bizzy Bec's Online Store. 

Hero Arts Garden fancy die used for window frame and Star Light Star Bright Bold Prints stamp inside card.

Images stamped with Hero Art intense black ink and coloured with Copic markers. Coordinating Fairy Kisses frame cuts used to die cut images.



Inside the card, Star Light Star Bright bold prints have been stamped using Orchid, Passion Flower and Soft Pool Hero Arts inks in an ombre effect. Sentiments have been stamped with Versamark ink and white heat embossed. 

The die cut window frame opening is a great way to incorporate the inside and lead the eye in. I hope you have found inspiration using these sets.

Happy Eggstra Amazing Easter!

Hello Papercrafters! Today I'm sharing some fun Spring/Easter inspired projects using a few gorgeous Lawn Fawn sets. Both projects are created for Bizzy Becs April Challenge, and just in time for Easter - better late than never hehe.

 

The theme is 'Anything Goes' and the winner of the challenge will receive 5 digital stamps of their choice. Click here to enter. 



The fun Easter card is using the new Eggstra Amazing Easter stamp set and dies. This is my second time to use this set and so adorable and the scene building is so much fun. The images have been first stamped with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink. I have used Zig clean color brush markers with a fine tip aqua brush for a soft watercolor blending. Bristol smooth cardstock is used for best results with Zigs clean color brush markers.

Background Panel: Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Portrait. 
Grass: Ink blending with Ranger distress Oxide Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron
Sky: My Favorite Things Cloud Stencil and ink blended with Ranger distress Oxide Broken China. 

Sentiments: Gold heat embossed and white heat embossed.

I have used fun foam as well as foam dimensionals to give an extra raise for both the background panel and images.

Clear glossy accents applied to the Easter Eggs from shine and dimension.


For an extra treat, I have used Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Treat Box, together with the Scalloped Treat Box Spring House Add-on set. It's a lot of fun to create with and makes the cutest little house gift box to give or to use for home deco. I could really keep making more and make a little village lol.

House Treat Box: Lawn Fawn 12x12" Watercolor Wishes patterned paper.
Roof, Windows and door: 6x6" Really Rainbow Scallops petite paper pack

Neenah Solar White cardstock used for the rest and have coloured with Copic makers as well as Mowed Lawn  Ranger distress ink for the tree.

Vellum used for both the windows and doors. 




I hope you have enjoyed both these projects and been inspired. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, 'til next time - Happy Crafting! Juana. :)
