Peek-a-boo Jungle with Avery Elle

Hi friends! I hope that your week is going well so far! I have a fun card set to share with you today that will hopefully brighten someone's day!

I used the Peek-A-Boo Jungle set from Avery Elle for this card set. The critters are just so cute and I love that they have the little paws to hang over the banner. How cute?! The set includes a few different sentiments, so I was able to create a birthday card and two friendship cards.

I also used the Speech Bubbles set from Avery Elle to make the critters talk! I really like the different fonts that are paired together in the speech bubbles. 

To create the background, I ink blended a piece of white cardstock with Spice Marmalade and Lemonade distress oxide inks. Then, I used the Ray of Light Stencil from My Favorite Things to add some extra detail to the background. I laid the stencil onto of the ink blended background, spritzed it with water, removed the stencil, and then used a paper towel to dry the water on the background. It turned out so cool!

The frame is cut from white cardstock with Lawn Fawn's Foursquare Backdrop die. I cut out the middle frames to make it look like a large Polaroid frame. And it created a spot to add the banner and paws! I attached the images with either foam tape or glue, and then I attached the scene to a white card base. Here's a closer look at one of the cards:

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great day! :)

Lawnscaping #125 - Color Splash

Hello! It's time again for a new Lawnscaping Challenge!

This weeks challenge is to make a black and white card with a splash of color! Here is the card that I created:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Cole's ABCs" dies, "Stitched 4 Bar Rectangle" dies, "Happy Everything," "Rooting For You," and Let's Polka in the Meadow paper. I also used Avery Elle's "Peonies" stamp set for the flowers and leaves. The flowers are all colored with Prismacolor pencils, and I also added some black stickles to the sentiment for some sparkle! The frame around the sentiment is created by using two of the rectangle dies together.

I hope that you're able to play along with us for this challenge because the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate from Ellen Hutson!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! :)

Sending You Love Tag

Hello again! I'm back again today to share a Christmas tag that I created for the current AEIHeartUChallenge!

The challenge is to use "metallics" in your project. I was looking through my paper stash, and I found some shiny paper that looks like gold! Perfect for this challenge! :)

This tag features Avery Elle's "Peonies" stamp set and "Simply Said: You" die. The tag is die cut from Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Circle Tags." I also added black ribbon to the tag, and some black enamel dots on the tag and sentiment. Here is a close up of the tag:

This will look so cute on my Christmas gifts this year!

Thanks for stopping by and have a Merry Christmas eve! :)

Avery Elle Christmas Tags

Hi everyone! This is a late post, but I wanted to quickly share some tags that I created for the Avery Elle Challenge this month! 

This month's challenge is to create a holiday tag. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the Avery Elle Christmas sets, so I had to make do with the sets that I had. Here are the Christmas tags that I created:

For these tags I used Avery Elle's "Sending You" and "Peonies" stamp sets for the sentiment and to make the "holly" branches. I also used patterned paper from The Happy Collection since it was the perfect red and green for Christmas. To make the berries, I used a hole punch to get a bunch of small, red dots and attached them to the end of the leaves. It doesn't really look like a holly leaf with berries, but it's not bad. Here is a close up each of the tags:

To make the tags, I used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Circle Tags and added a white tag behind the patterned paper so that I can write who it is for on the inside. I finished each of the tags off by adding either red or green ribbon to the top.

Thanks for visiting! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving! :)

Colorful Birthday Wishes

Hello! I have a card to share with you today for the AEIHeartUChallenge! I always want to play along, but then I somehow run out of time, so I'm glad I was able to participate for this challenge! 

This month's challenge is all about the colors of the rainbow!

I'm always short on birthday cards, and Avery Elle's "Sending You" stamp set is my favorite because of the big, scripty sentiments! I stamped the paper airplane onto some "The Sorbet Collection" patterned paper, as well as Lawn Fawn's "Let's Polka" paper. I stamped the  paper airplane trail in a grey ink so that the sentiment could really stand out. Then, I added some grey patterned paper along the edge of the card for some more detail. 

Well, thanks for stopping by! Have a good day! :)

Lawnscaping #101 - Dots And/Or Stripes

 Happy Monday to you all! I hope that everyone had a nice weekend. I started a swimming class with my 14 month old little girl this weekend, and it's so much fun watching her reaction to the swimming pool. She doesn't seem to have an opinion about the water yet, but she definitely enjoys the other kids in the pool and the toys! It was so much fun!

We have another fun Lawnscaping Challenge for you today - dots and stripes! You can use dots, or stripes, or dots and stripes! :)

I decided to use a little bit of both. I used some polka dot patterned paper and created a chevron striped card!

It took some time to line everything up, but once you make the first row it goes by a lot quicker. For this card I used Lawn Fawn's "Finley's ABCs" and "Small Stitched Square Dies," along with some "Let's Polka" patterned paper. I also used some patterned paper from Avery Elle. The sentiment is cut from black vinyl so it made a sticker and was really easy to attach to the card. I might use vinyl more often!

To create the chevron stripes, I used the smallest square die to cut a bunch of squares (I think about 5 of each), then cut the squares in half diagonally. Then, I arranged the triangles on the card base to make it look like chevron stripes. I left a little bit of white space around the triangles so that you can't tell if one of the rows is a little bit crooked. I really like how colorful and fun this turned out! :)

Well, thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the rest of the cards from the Lawnscaping Design Team! And don't forget to play along because the winner of this challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate from Ellen Hutson! :)

Thanks! I hope you have a great day! :)

Thinking of You

 Hi everyone! I hope that things are going well with you all! It is still so, so cold here and they're calling for a few inches of snow today! Brr! How much longer until spring?!

I have another card to share with you for the current Avery Elle Challenge!

Here is the card:

I did a bunch of masking for this card! First, I masked lines on the card base and used brown ink to create the stripes. Then, I used some scrap paper and make masks for the fox, bunny, grass, and clouds. Once I had all of the images stamped, I colored everything with Prismacolor pencils. After I colored the fox and bunny, I used my white paint pen to add some dots!

This card features Avery Elle's  "More Stories" and "Look Up" stamp sets. I also used Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Jourrnaling Card" to help make the scene stand out.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a good weekend! :)

Colorful Birthday

Hi everyone! I hope that you're have a good week so far! It has been so, so, so cold here! With the wind, it felt like -20 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday morning! Brr! We definitely stayed inside yesterday!

 Anyways, I have a fun card to share with you for the current Avery Elle challenge, which is all about masking! Here is the card that I created:

This card features Avery Elle's "Brushed" and "Look Up" stamp sets. I started this card by stamping the sentiment onto card stock and cutting it out to create a mask. I lightly taped it to the card base, and then I stamped the feathers over top of the mark. Then I removed the mask and stamped the sentiment onto the card base. After I had everything stamped, I colored the feathers with Prismacolor pencils and I made sure to leave some space around the sentiment. Here is a close up:

I really like how simple and cute this turned out. I'm sure that a friend will really like this for their birthday! Well, thanks for stopping by and I hope that you enjoy the rest of your week! :)

Sending My Thanks

Hi everyone! I hope that things are going well with you!

I have a card to share with you for the current Avery Elle Challenge!

I received a few Avery Elle stamp sets for Christmas, and I was so excited when I found that they have a challenge blog! The current challenge is about paper piecing! Here are the cards that I created:

I created a set of three thank you cards using Avery Elle's "Sending You" stamp set and patterned paper from "The Sorbet Collection." I tried to use coordinating inks that I had for the hearts, but the green one is a little bit off. Here is a picture of the three cards together:

Well, thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your week! :)
