Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. Happy Lucky Theme Week! There are so many fun Lucky themed products available in the Pretty Pink Posh shop.
Today I have two cards to share with you featuring the super cute Lucky Animals set. Let’s get started!
For both cards, I stamped the images from the Lucky Animals Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Lucky Animals Dies to diecut them out. For this first card, I also diecut a bow using the Beautiful Bows Dies. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Dog: E51/53/33/99/35, R20, R22, W5/7
White Duck: C00/0/1/3, Y38 YR04, R000/20
Duckling: Y11/13/15, Y38 YR04, R20
Cat: W1/3/5/7, R000/20
Hats: YG01/03/25/17, Y06, W5/7 Green: YG01/03/25/17
For the background, I used the largest die from the Pinking Rectangles Dies to diecut a piece of white cardsctock. I masked off the bottom and edges of the panel and lightly ink blended a subtle background with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. A piece of craft foam was adhered to the backside of this panel before it was adhered to a piece of light blue cardstock and then a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”).
For the sentiment, I stamped the “Lucky” sentiment from the Lucky to Know You stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of green cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the Lucky to Know You Dies to diecut it out. I also stamped the “to be your friend” sentiment from the same set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I adhered the colored images, bow and Lucky sentiment onto the panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
For my second card, I decided to make a fun boxcard using the Scallop Box Card Dies and featuring the adorable little pup from the Lucky Animals set with some lucky elements from the Horseshoe Shaker Die set. I used the Scallop Box Card Dies to diecut the base, two shelves and the back panel out white and blue cardstock. I assembled the box, back and side scalloped panel with liquid glue.
For the sentiment, I stamped the “You’re My Lucky Charm” sentiment from the Lucky to Know You set directly onto the scallop front panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the panel onto the front of the boxcard.
I used the Horseshoe Shaker Dies set to diecut the horseshoe and some clovers out of matte gold and Neenah Solar White cardstock. I colored the dog from the Luck Animals set and the clovers with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS: Dog: E51/53/33/99, R20, R22, W5/7 Green: YG07 G05/19/28
I decorated the box card with the lucky dog, horseshoe and clovers as seen in the picture. I used a clear acetate strip to adhere the floating clover. I love that this fun little 3D box card can flatten to fit into an envelope for easy mailing.
