Magic Cards ft. Lawn Fawn Stamps

Magic Card ft. Lawn Fawn Stamps



Every year, I sent out Valentine's Day card for my nieces, nephews, and my kiddies. I wanted to do something special that I haven't tried. I recently found out how to make a magic card.  Using these Lawn Fawn stamps, I've been dying to try out. I absolutely love their stamps, the use of inanimate objects and bringing them to life with smiling, winking, and cute faces. We love you Lawn Fawn! Keep up the creativity!

" Love n' Breakfast"  is a great all-occasion stamp set.  There's a toaster, Salt n' Pepper shakers, bacon and eggs too.

A basic magic card consists of two separate images, one stamped on clear plastic sheet and the other on any color of your choice cardstock. I used copic x-press paper (for copic coloring only) and Stampin' Up! window sheets.

I found this great tutorial from Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Dawn Griffith, Magic Card I followed her tutorial and it was a great card to show off!

Supplies:
A-2 4 1/4 in. x 5 1/2 in. card

Salt Dough Recipe

For my daughter's Valentine's Day treat bags, I decided to add  2 cutter hearts in the classmate treat bag. I love learning how to make homemade anything! I found a recipe for salt dough, but decided to make it my own by using Kool Aid-not sweetened.

I cut out 66 hearts, making 2 in each condiment cup with lid from solo. Found at your local Taco Shop or Smart and Final, I asked and they gave me 70 cups and lids for $2.00.

Recipe:

1 1/4 cup of flour, keep 1/4 cup separate ( you're adding this if the dough  is too running and some for dusting on the surface)
1 1/4 cup of salt
1 1/4 cup of water
Food Coloring, Kool-Aid of your choice
Cookie Cutters,
A airtight container
Microwave
Microwave-safe bowl

I added Salt first and stirred in flour (1 cup only) and poured in water. Mix and added Kool-Aid. The more you add, the darker color. I wanted it light to go with our treat bags. Pop it in the mircowave for 30 seconds. Stir again. Add to floured surface. Place in airtight container and Enjoy!

FoodQT: Zebra Cake

Every year, I host a family Valentine's Day Stamp Camp. A week before Valentine's Day, I gather supplies, for our family nieces and nephew to come stamp out their V-day cards for their class and friends. It becames a potluck party as well. This year, the turnout wasn't bad and all the rage was focused on the desserts! 

The stampin' was great as well. We made a total of 238 Valentine Cards for each child. 

I researched how-tos on pinterest and came out so great. I also made a homemade filling using my Homemade Jam Perserves in my Food section. 

I hope you have a great Valentine's Day!
