Mixed Media with Shari Carroll: Love You
Welcome everyone and happy Sunday!
My passion for crafting is most definitely papercraft. There is nothing more rewarding for me then to start with a blank canvas, be it cardstock or card base and create something appealing.
Lately, I’ve been inspired by quilling and wonder why I haven’t looked into it before. I love the idea of manipulating paper to form something beautiful. Would’nt this be perfect as a wedding gift?
I wanted to try my own thing with this paper technique and decided to use the Peony Bouquet stencil to get me going. Once I added ink to one of the blossoms through the stencil, I formed 1/4″ paper strips to follow the outlines of the flowers and leaves. The outside heart “wall” is formed from 1/2″ strips of paper.
I’ve kept the supplies easy and mainly used what I had on hand for my first try at this technique. I can’t wait to try another and improve my skills!
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I’ve inspired you to try something new with your cardmaking supplies!

Yeti or Not Lawn Fawn Birthday Card
Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Please join me in welcoming special guest blogger Tammy Stark to our blog today! She made this DARLING card using a variety of Lawn Fawn stamps! Be sure to scroll on to read through her process and enjoy!
Hi friends! Tammy here with a fun Birthday card featuring Lawn Fawn products. Today, I’m going to show you how to make this Yeti Birthday card, sure to put a smile on the recipients face!
Steps:
Cut a rectangle from Bristol cardstock using largest rectangle from the stitched rectangles.
Ink blend the background using Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, and a bit of Peacock Feathers DO on top half of card. Using a paint brush, splatter clean water, and then some watered down Shaded Lilac DO onto background. Set aside to dry.
Cut Mountains from Narwhal cardsock using the Mountain border die. Cut the snow caps from white cardstock and attach to mountains.
Using the Stitched Hillside Borders, cut the snowy hills from white cardstock. Ink the tops of the hills with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide.
Attach the mountain border and snowy hills onto the inked background (I used foam tape on the front hill for dimension, and to tuck in the trees and yeti). Stamp your sentiment on the bottom with Jet Black Ink.
Stamp the snowflakes from Yeti or Not onto the background with the embossing ink pad, and heat emboss with white embossing powder.
Stamp your images from the Yeti Or Not (yeti’s and trees) and Birthday Before ‘N Afters (cake and presents) onto Bristol Smooth cardstock with Jet Black Premium ink.
I colored all the stamped images with Copic markers. I added white highlights with a white gel pen.
All colored images were cut out using the Yeti or Not and Birthday Before ‘N Afters coordinating dies.
I attached all the colored images to my card, using both foam tape and tape runner.
Finally, add your sentiment on the top by embossing with white powder on a black cardstock strip. Attach to a white A2 card base.
I had so much fun creating this whimsical Birthday card with Lawn Fawn….thanks for stopping by! XO,Tammy
