Hi Everyone,
Usually when I make ‘scene’ type cards I fussy cut out my stamped and coloured images and pop them onto the base cardstock. My cards tend to have a lot of layers and dimension. This also gives me the flexibility to move items around. As it had been quite a while since I experimented with masking, I thought it was time to give it another go and this time my goal was to create a one layer scene card. The Lawn Fawn set Year Five was still on my table so I decided to create another card using this image. The logical pairing (in my mind) was the Life is Good stamp set, also by Lawn Fawn. I had a rough idea of my design before I started but I still mixed up my layers twice before I finally stamped them all in the correct order. The scene turned out to be super cute, I think. The scene itself is flat but I couldn’t help myself – I *had* to pop the panel up using mounting tape! lol
Here’s the first card…

Life is good
Materials used: Stamps – Life is Good, Year Five (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; and Copic Markers.
I couldn’t just stop at one card though as it was just too much fun to colour. I made another card which was almost identical to the one above so I won’t share that one. I then decided I wanted to spice the card up a little more.
Here’s the second card…

Life is good
Materials used: Stamps – Life is Good, Year Five (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 13, Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Doodlebug Design; Designer Paper – Sunkissed (Doodlebug Design), Twine (Stampin’ Up!) and Copic Markers.
Of course, I couldn’t stop with this design so I had to make another. Whilst this card does have a few layers, I didn’t pop up any of them – how unusual! lol
Here’s the card…

Relax

I had so much fun creating these cards and I really hope you enjoy them too. I had recorded a video to go with this post but it went a little wonky. Hopefully I will have another video to share soon. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Happy Stamping!

I love all of them! That otter is just too adorable for words, and I love how you’ve constructed the lazy summer scene…
I’m totally with you in fussy-cutting and layering my images that way. Though, I think it’s probably just me being lazy and not wanting to take a ton of time to do masking… I think I should try it again sometime, though. The results are pretty fab. 😀
I’m totally crushing on the otter stamp. You can probably tell. lol I never used to like fussy cutting and now I do it allll the time. Was good to mix it up a bit. Masking is pretty fun too and I bet you would knock any effort out of the park! Thanks for the lovely compliments too! hugs!

Another trio of darling otters! Life must be good for Mr. Otter, because it looks like he found himself a girl friend in the second *grin* and look where the little heart is…nice emphasis on “is”! I’m marveling at your fussy cutting, which is something I’m not particularly adept at doing. Bring on the dies, I say! Carry on crushing over the otters; you create magic with the playful little critters!
