Wagon Full of Fun
This year the Occasions mini catalog was full of so many great stamp sets. I ordered quite a few and luckily most of them will be in the new catalog so I can continue to share them with you. But one that I really like did not end up in the new catalog so I wanted to share some cards with you today. You can still order from the Occasions Mini catalog until June 30th. Just go to my website www.monika.stampinup.net and click on the SHOP NOW button. To view the whole mini catalog click on the link on the side bar.
These are four cards made from the Wagon Full of Fun stamp set. They all use the same layout and color scheme – Sahara Sand, Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, and So Saffron. You should be able to click on the picture to see a larger image. I used Watercolor Paper and stamped each image in Black StazOn ink. I stamped the image again either once or twice depending on how many layers I wanted to pop up. The images are watercolored with an aquapainter and classic ink. Then cut out each image and the layers and attach them together with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The card base has sponging on the edges – Baja Breeze ink on both the Sahara Sand and the Baja Breeze layer. I used a paper piercer and the matpack template to create the holes around the square frame.
Enjoy the rest of your day – have a wagon full of fun!!
The first card was an idea from Wendy that we made atleast 2 years ago and used the same 3-d layering technique that I did on the watercoloring cards I’ve shown lately. The lion gets stamped three times and you cut out his mane and his face seperately and layer with dimensionals.
The second card is a design from Stampin’ Up! and uses the In Colors – Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango and Pacific Point. The heart is punched with the Heart to Heart punch. The corduroy button in Pacific Point adds a little pop. The Tangerine Tango edge is done with the scallop border punch. Punch the edge once then slide it over and punch again and it gives it a jagged look like the teeth of the alligator – also a good way to cover up when you mess up aligning the scallop punch – you meant to do that!
Not sure why but I decided to do a pink and brown card and make it a new baby card. I don’t have any baby girls but the pink and brown seem to be popular for decorating these days when it comes to baby girls. I wanted the card to be a little frilly since it was a girl card so I added the eyelet border punch and the organdy ribbon. I also ran the littl close to cocoa piece through the big shot to give it some swirly texture. The Pink Pirouette DSP and the white layer of card stock are sponged on the edges with the Pink Pirouette ink. The elephant was edged with the Regal Rose marker before I stamped it but it is hard to see in the picture.
