Paint Resist Technique

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS encouragement/friendship card that uses the paint resist technique.

Paint Resist Technique

I applied Picket Fence paint to an older Hero Arts stamp – Leaf and Floral Background – and stamped the image on white cardstock. Once the paint was dry, I applied Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans inks. I then wiped away the painted areas with a slightly damp paper towel. This technique gives a subtler resist than heat-embossing the image.

I cut the panel with a die from a retired MFT Blueprints set. I stamped the sentiment, from the Simon Says Stamp You Got This set, with Mama Elephant Smoke ink.


Lawn Fawn Foxes

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS “just because” card created with a combination of Lawn Fawn products.

Lawn Fawn Fox Family

I stamped the fox images from Mom + Me, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them with their corresponding dies.

I recently bought a rainbow pack of Lawn Fawn cardstock, along with several packages of neutrals. I cut the card base from Paper Bag cardstock using the Woodgrain Backdrop. I cut the background for the scene from Mermaid cardstock using the Cloud Backdrop. (I absolutely love these backdrop dies!) I then used a square die to cut the cloud piece to the size I needed. I cut the grass from Noble Fir cardstock with one of the Meadow Borders dies and the same square die. I framed the scene with white cardstock cut with a die in the Outside In Stitched Scalloped Square Stackables set. I heat-embossed the sentiment on Black Licorice cardstock and cut it with a die in the Extra Sentiment Banners set.


Lawn Fawn CAS Valentine

Hello and Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m sharing a CAS Valentine’s card created with Lawn Fawn supplies.

I stamped and colored the birds and envelope from Love Letters, and cut the items with their corresponding dies. I stamped the sentiment on to the white cardstock base and added panels cut from Lawn Fawn cardstock with the Woodgrain Backdrop die. I added hearts cut with the Taylored Expressions Little Bits – Hearts die.

Floral Thanks

Hello! No matter the season, it’s good to have Thank You cards on hand. Having just returned from a vacation in Southern California, I am drawn towards bright colors at the moment.

I used the Spellbinders Daisy and Daisy 2 dies to cut the blooms from Memory Box cardstock. The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Thankful Heart set. I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Ink under the blooms with a stencil brush.
