Lawn Fawn Virtual Bears
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday and please join me in welcoming special guest Caly Person with is SUPER cute Lawn Fawn card! Read on to learn more! Enjoy!
Hi, Friends! It’s Caly with you today representing Lawn Fawn and sharing a Reveal Wheel card using their new Virtual Friends set! I combined these sets with the Den Sweet Den set to fill my scene and used the Rectangle Window and template to help me make my card interactive.
I began by stamping and coloring my images with Copic markers. I also die-cut the Reveal Wheel and used the LF Reveal Wheel Rectangle Window Template stencil to stamp out my virtual images for my computer screen.
- Reds: R00, R21, R35, R39
- Yellow: Y00, Y15,YR24
- Teal: BG11, BG34
- Green: YG06, YG09
- Blues: B0000, B00, B04, BG000, BG05
- Grays: C0, C2, C4
- Bears/Browns: R20, E30, E33, E35
After coloring and die-cutting my images, I die-cut the main Reveal Wheel panel and Rectangle Window. I used the C0 and C4 Copic markers to add some grounding before adhering my images to the card panel and filled my scene.
I adhered a few of the images directly to the card and others with foam adhesive for dimension. To finish, I embossed a sentiment and attached it above my computer monitor. I hope you enjoyed this card! I appreciate you stopping by! ~Caly

Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Alcohol Lift Inking Featuring Gina K. Designs
Hello crafty friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! Have you tried Alcohol Lift Ink? I love this ink pad! Using this lifting technique allows me to have fun with my Alcohol Inks in a whole new way. Today I am using this ink pad along with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks, and a couple of Gina K. Designs stamp sets to make some colorful and unique cards!
This card project is a fun one to mass produce – I actually made 4 of these! Using Alcohol Inks, I created colorful backgrounds that I then stamped with Alcohol Lift Ink and the Better Together floral stamp set. Around the ghosted florals, I foiled a Spellbinders dotted frame. For the foiling, I chose gold and silver. The foil colors then coordinate with the embossed sentiment and florals that are layered onto the panel.
The greetings are from the Just Add Color set, which I stamped onto a Nested Oval die cut. Behind the oval is another Better Together floral, this time embossed onto vellum.
I finished up the cards by adding some Gina K. Designs Solid Quartz sequins and mounting the colorful panels onto white card bases. These elegant cards would be so much fun to package as a gift for someone – or send to loved ones as bright happy mail!
I hope you will try this technique out! It’s really fun and simple to do, and you can customize these even further by changing up the colors used on these cards. Play around with your Alcohol Inks and create some amazing combos!
