Mighty Hands Inspiration Week - Kings and Priests and Handwritten Alpha

Hi friends! It's the last day of the Mighty Hands Inspiration Week! I have a sweet card to share with you today that uses the new Kings and Priests and Handwritten Alpha stamp sets!


The images in the Kings and Priests set is so cute. My daughter really likes the princess image, so I figured it was the perfect image to use for her birthday card! I created the scene by using a cloud stencil to ink blend the sky and added the grass by die cutting cardstock with the Simple Grassy Hillsides by Lawn Fawn. I added the princess in the middle with foam tape, and I also added the dove from the Peace Words set, a few grass pieces from the Bold As A Lion stamp set, and a few small hearts stamped in pink ink.

The white frame around the scene is from Lawn Fawn's Foursquare Backdrop die - I created it by cutting out the inside frame! I used the Handwritten Alpha set to stamp my daughter's name along the bottom and I added a sentiment from the You Words stamp set. This turned out so sweet and my daughter loves her card!

Thanks so much for visiting today and I hope you have a great evening! :)

Mighty Hands Inspiration Week - Bold As A Lion

Good evening! It's Day 4 of the Might Hands Inspiration Week and I have a card to share today that features the Bold As A Lion stamp set!


I created a grassy scene for the lions to play in by die cutting green cardstock with the Simple Grassy Hillsides die from Lawn Fawn. The images are all stamped with black ink, colored with Copic markers, and attached with foam tape. I stamped a few leaves and hearts in the background, as well as the sentiment. I finished the card by adding a white frame around the scene and adding a few leaves along the top. Here's another look of the card to show the dimension:

Mighty Hands Inspiration Week - Good Gift and Peace Words

Hello again! I have two cards to share with you today that feature products from the new Mighty Hands release!

My first card features the new Good Gift stamp set. This set is so cute and it would be perfect to create a new baby card!


To create my card, I started by using a cloud stencil and ink blending a light blue cloudy sky. I used Lawn Fawn's Rose Gold embossing powder to heat emboss the sentiment in the lower left corner. I stamped the child and balloon onto white cardstock, colored the image with Copic markers, and fussy cut the image out. I attached the image with foam tape, and them stamped a few birds in the sky. I also stamped a few small hearts in pink ink from a Lawn Fawn stamp set that I had in my stash.

My second card showcases the Peace Words stamp set. I like the big, scripty "peace" and how it can work with the smaller sentiments included in the set.


I started with a piece of purple paper from Lawn Fawn's Watercolor Wishes paper pack and die cut it with the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frames die.  I kept the frame with the dark side up, but I flipped the inside rectangle over so that the lighter paper was inside the frame. Then, I stamped the "peace" in purple ink, and white heat embossed the rest of the sentiment on black cardstock. I attached the black cardstock and the dove with foam tape, and I also used foam tape to pop up the frame. This would be so cute to recreate in a variety of colors!

Mighty Hands Inspiration Week - Children of God

Hi friends! I'm back again today with another card to share featuring products from the new Mighty Hands release! Today, I am sharing a card that uses the Children of God stamp set.


Our faith in Jesus makes us all children of God! To create this card, I started by stamping the children in black ink, coloring them with Copic markers, and cutting out the images. The background was created by adhering a piece of Purple Posies patterned paper from Lawn Fawn to a white card base. I cut a panel from white cardstock with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die and taped that to the patterned paper. Then, I stamped the sentiment in black ink, attached the children with foam tape, and glued a few sequins to fill in the white space. How cute are those children?!

Fall Birds with Hello Bluebird

Hi everyone! I hope that you're all having a great day so far. I have a card to share with you that features a few products from Hello Bluebird!


Hello Bluebird hosts a monthly challenge on Instagram, and the challenge this month was to create a card showing what we love about fall! My favorite part about fall is the beautiful leaves and cooler weather. I decided to use the Silly Birds stamp set to create my fall card. I love how versatile this set is - it can be used to create any season of card!


I stamped the birds in black ink and colored them with Copic markers in shades of brown. I used reds, oranges, and browns for the leaves and I also added a few pink hearts. The background is created by ink blended with distress oxide inks - Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick, and Wild Honey. I also flicked some black ink to the background for some extra detail. The sentiment is die cut with the Hello Friend Words die in gold sparkle cardstock and the hello from the Silly Birds set is white heat embossed onto black cardstock.


I really like how this card turned out and I can't wait to send it to a friend this fall! Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you all have a great week! :)

Mighty Hands Inspiration Week - Good News

Hi friends! I hope that you all had a great weekend! I enjoyed some craft time with my sister-in-law and also a corn maze with the youth group from church. It was a little wet, but we all had a great time!

I'm so excited to be guest designing with Mighty Hands this week! Mighty Hands is a family-run company in Singapore that creates Christian clear stamps with a mission to share God's love. I have a bunch of inspiration to share with you that features their new release which is perfect for Christmas. 

My card today features the Good News stamp set! This set is so cute and helps to focus on the true meaning of Christmas - Jesus. 


I started by stamping the images onto Neenah 80 lb. cardstock in Lawn Fawn's Jet Black ink, coloring the images with Copic markers, and fussy cutting the images. Then, I started working on the background. I used a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock die cut with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackable die. I used different shades of Lawn Fawn's blue inks to ink blend the sky. Then, I used white paint and flicked it onto the background with a paint brush. While that dried, I die cut another piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with the rectangle die and the Simple Grassy Hillsides die. Then, I used green ink to ink blend the grass. I used double sided tape to attach the grass to the sky, and then attached that cardstock panel to a white card base. Finally, I used glue and foam tape to add the images to the scene. I really like that speech bubble for the angel! Here's a closer look at the card:


There's an Instagram hop today that features more inspiration from the Mighty Hands design team, so stop by my Instagram page to see the list of participants. And there's a chance to win a $25 gift card on the Mighty Hands Instagram page!

I'll be back again tomorrow with more inspiration to share with you all! Have a great day! :)

LF Inspiration Week: Just Stitching Double Circles

Hi friends! I have a fun card to share with you that features the Just Stitching Double Circle dies from Lawn Fawn!


I started by using the stitching circle dies to add three overlapping circles on a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock. Then, I used a circle stackables die to diecut the negative of the three different sized circles and I used the negative piece of a stencil. I placed the stencil that I created over the circle and ink blended with distress oxide inks. I used Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, and Fossilized Amber inks. Where the circles overlapped, they created purple, green, and orange! I spritzed the paper with water to react with the ink. The panel was attached to a white card base and I finished the card by adding a few stars and a sentiment cut from the Scripty Hello die and from the Toadally Awesome stamp set.


Thanks so much for visiting today! I hope you all have a great day! :)

LF Inspiration Week: Winter Wavy Sayings

Hi there! I have a fun set of Christmas tags to share with you that feature the Winter Wavy Sayings stamp set from Lawn Fawn!


I created the Christmas tags with the Build-A-House and Build-A-House Christmas Add-on dies! I used brown, green, and red cardstocks to create the house. The lights were cut from white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. For the windows, I stamped the images from the Tiny Christmas stamp set and Christmas Dreams stamp set for the tree. The images in the windows are all colored with Copic markers as well. After the houses were assembled, I added the sentiment by die cutting a Simple Wavy Banner with black cardstock and white heat embossing the sentiment. I finished the tags by using a hole punch to add a hole and tying twine at the top.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great evening! :)

LF Inspiration Week: Shadow Box Card Mountain Add-On

Hi everyone! I have another card to share that was featured during Lawn Fawn's October Inspiration Week! This card features the Shadow Box Card Mountain Add-On die. 


The die works great with the Shadow Box Card die, but you can also use it on its own, or with the Center Picture Window Card die. I ink blended a night sky with distress oxide inks. I added the mountains cut from Dolphin cardstock and the trees cut from Noble Fir cardstock.

For the center picture window, I used acetate to make the scene see through! It was a little tricky to adhere, but it looks really neat! The inside scene features the yeti from Yeti or Not.


Thanks for visiting! Have a great day! :)

LF Inspiration Week: Winter Narwhal

Hi friends! I have a card to share with you that was featured during Lawn Fawn's October Inspiration Week! This card features the adorable Winter Narwhal!


I started by ink blending on a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock. I used green, purple, and blue ink from Lawn Fawn to create a soft glow from the Northern lights. Then, I splattered some white ink to add some extra details. I die cut a hillside from Pixie Dust cardstock and added a few trees behind it.  The water was created with the Pearlescent Vellum and I used the Ocean Wave Accents die to create a place for the narwhal to swim! I added a few friends to the scene from the Beary Happy Holidays set and placed them on the ice from the Critters in the Arctic set. I finished the card by adding a white border and the sentiment heat embossed in white on a black cardstock banner. Oh, and I added a few stars in the sky!

LF Inspiration Week: How You Bean? Christmas Cookie Add-On

Good morning, friends! It's time for the October Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week!


Today, we are sharing inspiration that features the How You Bean? Christmas Cookie Add-On set. It is designed to work with the How You Bean? stamp and die set, but it can also be used on its own.


I added the cookies to the jar and added a few cookies around it to fill the card. I added the Scripty Sweet die cut from Rainforest cardstock to the sentiment that is included in the cookie add-on set. I also used the Snow Day Remix patterned paper for the background and finished by adding an Orchid colored twine bow at the top of the jar. We hand out cookies or some sort of snack to our neighbors every December, and this card will be perfect to include with the cookies!


There's more inspiration on the Lawn Fawn blog and there's a chance to win a prize, too!
