Congratulations “Big Brother”

Hello, Happy Monday! I’ve got a cute card to share with you today. My friend just had their second baby and there first born loves trains. So I wanted to create a card for him. It’s usually moms and dads who get the cards when a new baby arrives. I thought it would be a fun idea to include the big brother in the card giving process too.

I used the stamp set from Lawn Fawn called Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum. (It’s retired and sold out at Lawn Fawn but I was able to find it at Stamp n Scrap, a Canadian online crafting shop)

I stamped all the images in memento tuxedo black ink and colored them with Spectrum noir markers. The banner that says Big brother is from Lawn Fawns plane and simple stamp set and I just wrote the words big brother inside.

The Spectrum noir colors I used were

Train: TB5, CR10, CT4, IG4 & BG4

Big Brother Banner: BT5

Bear:TN7, TN8 & EB1

I then used the Sakura jelly roll 08 white pen for highlights on the images.

For the background I used my big shot machine to create the chevron embossing. I used the Tim Holtz blender tool and circle sponge to sponge on pumice stone distress ink.

Then for the card base I dabbed the evergreen bough mini distress ink directly on the paper to add some color to the car bass.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Get Kids Crafty May Blog Hop Gardening theme

It's that time of month again where I share a fun crafty project that I made with my kiddo Riley for Get Kids Crafty. Hello and thank you for joining us for the May Get Kids Crafty! blog hop! We are thrilled to have you! Our theme this month is gardening and our kids have created some AMAZING projects to share with you! We had a lot of fun creating our project this month. We made a bumble bee mobile. Both my kids love the song bringing home my baby bumble bee. Especially my youngest Liam, it seems to usually calm him down when he's upset. So we created this fun project to the theme of the song. First we had to die cut our bees, Here is Riley playing with an already cut bee in the Big Shot machine. Here is Riley turning the handle on the Big Shot machine to cut out all our bees. We had to do 16 in total one for the front and back as you will see in a little bit. Here is what the finished bee looks like and the die cut that we used from
