Hi crafty friends,
how are you doing? Have been crafting lately? I for sure did some crafting using the bright and fun June 2018 card kit!
The Avery Elle stamp set is the cutest ever - don't you love all  these cute Toucans and floral branches?!


Today I get to share two cards with you that feature the Happy birthday die from Lawn Fawn and the stamp set.


Starting with card number one, I decided to go with a wider format, to have all my toucans sit across the card.
I used the white card stock from the kit and stamped a bunch of images and then colored them with alcohol markers. I fuzzy cut all of them and arranged them on my card.


I used yellow distress inks to blend my background and die cut the Happy birthday die out of the pink patterned paper multiple times and then stuck them together - this  gives the look of a cardstock type embellishment!


For my second card I used circle dies and cut three circles out of my front panel. I then added ballons and two toucans into the circles.
The sentiment comes from the die again - same technique used as for the other card!
I also used yellow distress inks again to add a little detail around the edges of the card.


I added Nuvo drops as a finishing detail on both cards and love how they tie everything together.


That's it for todays post - I hope you enjoyed the inspiration and I can't wait to see your creations using the kit!

Happy crafting,
Laureen
