Congratulations Baby Card!!

HELLO MINT OWL STUDIO FRIENDS!!
Larissa here today to share a SWEET CONGRATULATIONS Card!! I have several friends welcoming babies into their lives and I wanted to use the AMAZING Bundles of Joy Stamp Set to create a Card for one of them!!

I Started by Stamping the Floral Wreath Image ALL over the Background of my Card Base using some  Hippo Lawn Fawn Ink!! I created a Grid on the Base of my Card so I could Stamp the Design evenly!! Then I erased the Grid Lines and Die Cut a Scalloped Circle Die Cut to help make the Focal Image and Banner stand out against the Beautiful Background!! I Stamped and Embossed the Banner and Sentiment and the SWEET Baby Calf Image!! Then I used my Distress Inks to Watercolor the Image and used some Foam Tape to POP it up!! I added the Banner Sentiment Image using Foam Tape too and added some Crystal Clear Sequins and my Card was Finished!! I hope this gives you some INSPIRATION on ways to create some CONGRATULATIONS Baby Cards too!!
THANKS S MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Happy New Year Card!!

HELLO MINT OWL STUDIO FRIENDS!!
Larissa here today to share a FUN New Year's Card!!
I hope you all had an AMAZING Christmas and are looking forward to a FABULOUS New Year!!?? I know I am!! I thought it would be FUN to use the SWEET Party Pals Stamp Set and the Half Tone Stencil to create a New Year's Card!!
 

I started by Stamping and Embossing the Images onto Distress Watercolor Paper and then Watercoloring them using some Distress Ink!! I had to do some Masking in order to make it look as though the SWEET Girl Image was holding the Banner!! I used some Masking Paper to Stamp the Banner Image and then Cut it out!! I Stamped and Embossed the Banner and then the Party Sentiment!! Then I placed the Banner Mask over the top of the Banner and Stamped and Embossed the Sweet Girl Image over the Top of the Banner!! I also Stamped and Embossed the arty Hat Image and then Fussy Cut it out after it was Watercolored and Dry!! I Die Cut the Image out using a Stitched Heart and then Die Cut a Stitched Rectangle to use as my Card Base!! I used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to Ink my Stenciled Design onto the Stitched Rectangle Card Base and I LOVE the Disco-ish Pattern that it added as a Background for my Heart Shaped Focal!! I added the Heart Focal with some Fun Foam and also popped up Card Base Panel for even more Dimension!! Then I added some Sequins and some Glitter Pen to some of the Images and my Card was done!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS Last Week of 2016 and a VERY HAPPY New Year!!

A Latte Holiday Cheer...

Hello!  It is Lisa here today and I am sharing a card I've created with some awesome Mint Owl Studio goodies for the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop...

To create this card I stamped my coffee image in the center of a white panel.  Now for my sentiment I used the Coffee Craze Stamp set mixed with the Trim the Tree Stamp Set.  I then used Copic® Markers for the cup and a white gel pen for the dish.  To create a fun bokeh effect I used the circle images from the Trim the Tree Stamp Set and various light inks.  After I diecut the panel I layered it with some Wood Veener (thanks hubby!).

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Merry Christmas Tag

Hello everyone,

Happy "day after" Thanksgiving!  I hope you were able to get lots of turkey and time with family.

I have a tag to share with you today.  As nice as it is to have a card for each give, sometimes it's fun to add a special tag instead.  

I started out with stitched tag stax from MFT and cut out the first panel from Neenah desert storm card stock and then another tag the next size up from green card stock from my stash. 

I used the pine branch from the Cardinal Greetings stamp set and stamped it with green ink with first and second generation stamping to give it some depth.  I added the berries with versamark ink and heat embossed them with red embossing powder.  I did the same thing with the sentiment.  

I added the smaller tag to the bigger one with foam tape and as usual I forgot to add the hole at the top for the twine.  So I did this very carefully and added it with my crop-o-dile and added some Lawn Fawn lawn trimmings in gold.  You can finish off the tag by adding a TO and FROM to the back. 

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Christmas Blessings One Layer Scene!! =)

Hello Mint Owl Studio Friends!!
Larissa here today with a very Sweet and Simple Card Design using the "Away In A Manger" Stamp Set!!

I was going for a Soft Scene using the Manger and Baby Jesus and the North Star, but I didn't want to loose the scene against a really Dark Sky so I opted for a lighter sky color using Tumbled Glass and I REALLY LOVE the way that it turned out!! I Stamped and Embossed ALL of my Images and then I watercolored using Distress Inks!! I added some Glitter Pen to the Star and the top of the Manger and then Stamped and Embossed the Sentiments and my Card was done!! I LOVE Cards like this for Mass Producing especially during the Holiday Season!! It makes it SO FAST!!
