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!!

Birthday Time!!!

Hello, hello!  It is Lisa here and as per usual on Wednesdays I am here to share a little fun and inspiration using the amazing Mint Owl Studio Goodies, woot woot!!!  Today I am sharing a Birthday Shaker Card that I've created with lots of newer released products...

To create this card I started by die cutting all of the pieces I would need from the Packaged Pretty Dies to create the shaker gift box.  Once that was put together I set it aside and stamped a strip of stars from the Birthday Bash set in yellow.  I then adhered the present and stamped the sentiment from the Party Pals set.  ( I should also note that I did cut the inside of the present out to create the shaker, as this die is one full cut.)

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Bunch of Birthday Wishes

Hello Mint Owl Studio friends new and old!  Lisa here with you today and I'm sharing a very clean and simple Birthday card with you...

I love love love this balloon bouquet that is found in the Birthday Bash Stamp Set, because it is so much fun to color!  With just a few markers you can give this image lots of dimension.  To create this card I started by stamping my image and sentiment onto a white panel.  I then ran this panel through my die cutting machine to emboss my frame around the images.  Next, I colored the balloons in with various Copic markers and stamped some confetti from the Party Pals Stamp Set with a light blue ink so that they fade into the background without distracting the recipient.

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to share your creations with us using Mint Owl Studio Goodies on any of our social media sites!
Happy Crafting!

Bunches of Birthday Wishes!! =)

HELLO!!
Larissa here today to share a FUN Birthday Card!!
I'm using the Newly Released "Birthday Bash" Stamp Set and the "Party Pals" Stamp Set!! I thought it would be FUN to have the Little Girl Holding the Bunch of Balloon and then to have the Sentiment Stamped among the Stars in the Sky!!

I Stamped and Embossed the Images onto some Distress Watercolor Paper and then used my Distress Inks to Watercolor them!! I wanted a DEEP Blue Sky so I used Chipped Sapphire and Faded Jeans and then added alittl Seedless Preserves, Abandoned Coral and Hickory Smoke!! These Colors blend so BEAUTIFULLY and the White Embossed Stars really POP!! Makes me HAPPY!!  =) I Stamped another Bunch of Balloons and a Girl and then Water Colored them and popped them up using Foam Tape after I Fussy Cut them out leaving a small white border to help make them POP off the Background!! I think this Card is going to make someone SMILE!!
