Lawn Fawn - You're A Keeper

 

Well hello there, thank you for visiting my blog today where I'm sharing a new card made purely for the love of the craft and featuring 100% Lawn Fawn products.  Please be aware that the bee keeper was from a free with purchase stamp set called 'You're A Keeper' and now sold out and the patterned background paper was one of three pieces of patterned paper included free with my order from Lawn Fawn a couple of months ago.  The list below therefore doesn't include these two items:-

Hive Five

Hive Five Lawn Cuts

Henry's ABCs Die

Grassy Border Die

Stitched Rectangle Frames Die

First of all I prepped an A2 panel using the patterned paper.  I die cut the frame and added with foam tape then I layered two grassy borders created using the Grassy Border Die and which I ink blended with Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Ink and splattered with white acrylic paint loosened with a drop or two of water.   First grassy border at the back was adhered directly but no glue near the top so that I could lift it a little and tuck images behind and the smaller layer was popped up on dimensional tape but again the strip of tape was right at the bottom to allow tucking.

I stamped the images I'd be needing from You're A Keeper and Hive Five and coloured with the following Copic markers:-

Bear - T5, T5, T4, T3, T2, T1, E31, R22, R20, R00,

Hive - E44, E43, E42, Y28, Y26, YR31, Y21

Flowers - B12, B41, Y28, Y26, YR31, Y21, YG45, G12

Honeypot - B12, B41, Y28, Y26, YR31, Y21, C3, C1, C00

Bees - E00 Y26, Y21, BG000

Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and Hive Five images die cut using the Lawn Cuts and the You're A Keeper images were fussy cut.  I applied the images to the scene using dimensional foam tape.

Sentiment came last (but not least).   I used Henry's ABC's to die cut the letters for HONEY twice over and glued them together then aligned and glued them to the background.   I used Copic markers to make a honey coloured fade on the lettering and then used Nuvo Crystal Glaze to gloss it up.   Lastly, I stamped 'You're A Keeper' on a sentiment strip and adhered with foam tape.

Had so much fun with this card and Lawn Fawn's lovely products and can't wait to play again!

Lawn Fawn - You're A Keeper

 

Hello and welcome to my blog where I'll walk you through how I made this new card using Lawn Fawn products.

This is the cute little 'You're A Keeper' stamp set that was free with purchase recently.  I believe it is out of stock now but perhaps this card will still inspire something in you.

I have used:-

You're A Keeper

Stitched Rectangle Frames Die

Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables Die

Grassy Border Die

What's Sewing On? Paper Pack

I started by creating an A2 panel from the paper pack.  Over this I layered a frame that I popped up on dimensional foam tape.  I then cut the next frame size down and within this (and it fits perfectly) a die cut of another toning pattern from the same paper pad made using the stackables die.  Love how they work together seamlessly!  I nestled the patterned piece within the smaller frame and flipped them over and backed it with white craft foam then I glued it to the main panel.

I die cut a third pattern from the paper pack.  First I used the stackables again to get the right size and stitched edging then I used the Grassy Border die to create 'grass'.  This was then neatly glued to the background.

I stamped the images and coloured with Copic markers.  Here's what I used.

Beekeeper - E44, E43, E42, E41, R22, R21, R20, R00, W2, W0, C3, C1, C0, BG70

Hive - E44, E43, E42, E41, Y26, YR31, Y21

Bees - Y26, YR31, Y21, E50, BG11, R22

Images were fussy cut and applied with foam tape and then I stamped the little BZZZ behind each bee for fun.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment on a sentiment strip and applied with yet more foam tape ... I get through this stuff!!!  I decided no further embellishments were required and with that this sweet scene was complete.

Thanks for stopping by,  I'll be back with something new before you know it!
