Fawny Holiday Week

Good morning! It's the Fawny Holiday Week and the design team, Lawn Fawnatics team, video design team, and Fawnies at the LFHQ are sharing holiday projects this week!

I have a card set to share today that helps to remind us of the true reason for Christmas.

I took a piece of white cardstock, die cut it with the Stitched Square Stackables die, and ink blended it with light green ink. I used the pine needle branches from the Frosty Fairy Friends stamp set and stamped them in Noble Fir and Cilantro ink around the edges. I attached the panel to a card base made with the Noble Fir cardstock.

I used a variety of stamp sets to create the sentiment. The "oh" is from the Winter Big Scripty Words stamp and die set. The "adore" is from Quinn's ABCs stamp and die set. The "come let us" is from the Winter Skies, Meow You Doin', and Offset Sayings: Christmas stamp sets. And the "Him" is created with Riley's ABCs stamp set. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs, and I love how this card turned out!

Make sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog for more Christmas inspiration.

Thanks so much for visiting! Have an amazing day!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

 Hi everyone! I hope your having a good weekend so far! I have a few cards that I wanted to share with you that I made recently! :)

These are my favorite cards to make and give at baby showers or to a new mom. I'm not sure where I saw that phrase, but it's a perfect reminder that our children are a gift from God!

These cards feature Lawn Fawn's Riley's ABCs stamps, and Quinn's ABCs stamps and dies. I also used the moon from Love You S'more set and the stars from the Upon A Star stamp set. The images are all colored with Copic markers, and the letters have clear stickles added on top for some extra sparkle.

Here's a boy verse of the same card. I actually made this design a few years ago (here's the card if you're interested), but I decided to update the look a little bit with a stitched card stock panel on the front and by using Copics instead of colored pencils. I really like the updated look!

I also wanted to let you all know about a sale that Technique Tuesday is having today and tomorrow to celebrate their birthday! Use the coupon code HB2U and receive 20% off of your order - yay! You can check out their products by clicking here!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a great weekend! :)

LF Inspiration Week: Year Seven

 Hi everyone! I hope that your week is going well! 

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week continues with a look at the Year Seven stamp set! These small birthday sets are always a favorite of mine because they're cute, a great value, and I always need to make birthday cards! This year the birthday set features a pinata!

I used the birthday set along with the Bannertastic banners and Quinn's ABCs to help showcase the sentiment. The candy and confetti are stamped on the card base in Manatee ink.

Here is a close up on the card. I also added stickles to the letters because glitter makes everything better!

I really liked the colors that I used on the pinata, so I created another birthday card with the same colors!

The sentiment is stamped in Yeti ink on Black Licorice cardstock to make it stand out again the busy background. Here is a close up:

Thanks for stopping by! There is a ton of inspiration on the Lawn Fawn blog, and there is also a giveaway to win this set! Yay!

Have a great day! :)

Lawn Fawn & ScraPerfect

Hi everyone! This week, the Lawn Fawn design team has teamed up with the ScraPerfect team to share some inspiration using their products!

For my card today, I used Lawn Fawn's "Meow You Doin?," "Quinn's ABCs," "Out of This World" (for the sentiment), "Get Well Soon" (for the sentiment) and the ZigZag Rectangle Stackables. I also used ScraPerfect's Embellie Gellie to help adhere the hearts and sequins to the card! That is such a neat tool to use and it makes adding sequins soo much easier!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a great week, and don't forget to stop by the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration featuring ScraPerfect products! :)

LF Inspiration Week: Out of This World and Starry Skies

Hi everyone! I hope that your weekend is going well! My parents are in town for the weekend, so we are having a lot of fun hanging out with them!

The Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week continues today with a look at the Out of This World stamp set and Starry Skies die!

For my first card, I created a birthday party with the solar system!

I think those planets look so cute with party hats and smiling faces! I also used the Starry Skies die to cut stars from black card stock, and added them to the background. The purple background paper is from the Watercolor Wishes paper collection.

My second card features the cute astronauts that are included in this set! To make the girl astronaut, I die cut the image from white cardstock, and mirror image stamped on the back of the cutout. Then, I added a small bow to make it look like a girl.

To make the starry background, I spritzed white paint onto a black piece of cardstock. I also added a few stars cut from the Starry Skies die. This card also features the Quinn's ABCs, Everyday Sentiment Banners, and the new Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables.

There are so many other cute projects on the Lawn Fawn blog, so don't forget to check them out! And enter the giveaway on the LF blog, too!! :)

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week: Thanks a Bushel & Cutie Pie

 Hello again! The Lawn Fawn inspiration week continues again today, and today we are featuring the new Thanks a Bushel and Cutie Pie stamp sets and die!

These two mini sets are so cute and are perfect for making cards this fall and Thanksgiving season! Here is the card that I created:

This card also features Quinn's ABCs and Riley's ABCs. The letters and images are all colored with Copic markers and have details added with a white gel pen. The apple and pie images look so cute with smiley faces stamped onto them! Here is a close up:

There is more inspiration from the design team on the Lawn Fawn blog! Stop by again tomorrow for some more inspiration! :)

Fawny Holiday Week

Hi everyone! I hope that you have had a good week! Today is my husband's birthday, so we're going to enjoy some family time this evening with cake and ice cream! Yummy!

I have a card to share with you this morning as part of the Fawny Holiday Week on the Lawn Fawn blog! 

Elf is such a fun Christmas movie, so I decided to use a famous line from the movie as inspiration for my Christmas card!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Riley's ABCs," "Quinn's ABCs," "Toboggan Together," "Baaah Humbug" stamp set and die, and "Trim the Tree" stamp set and die. I tried to stick with red, green, and light brown for all of the images to keep this card full of Christmas cheer! And all of the small images around the sentiment are attached with foam tape. I also added some darker lines of red and green in the "cheer" for some extra detail. Here is a close up:

Thanks for stopping by! And don't forget to check out the rest of the Christmas inspiration on the Lawn Fawn blog! :)

Lawnscaping #109 - Sparkle and Shine!

 Hi everyone! I hope that everyone had a nice holiday weekend! We saw fireworks at the nearby stadium this year and my daughter had a lot of fun watching them! I was worried that she would be scared by the noise, but she didn't seem to mind it! She kept saying "wowww" all evening! :)

Anyways, there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge this morning! The challenge is to add bling, glossy accents, glitter, or anything that will add some sparkle and shine to your project!

I decided to add some Stickles to give the ladybugs some glittery sparkle!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Riley's ABCs," "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and dies, "Bugs and Kisses" stamp and dies, and Cranberry ink. The ladybugs and "little" letters are all attached with foam tape and are coated with Frosted Lace stickles. I also stamped the ladybug trail in grey ink, and the hearts are all stamped in the Cranberry ink. Here is a close up to show the glittery details on the card:

Don't forget to see what else the Lawscaping Team created, and also don't forget to play along! The winner of this challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate to Ellen Hutson! Woohoo!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a great week! :)

Have a wonderful day!

*This is my second post of the day. If you are looking for my Lawnscaping post, please click here or just keep scrolling down. Thanks!

Hello again! I have another card to share with you that is being featured on the Lawn Fawn Blog today!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Gleeful Garden" stamp and dies, "Flirty Frames," "Riley's ABC's," "Quinn's ABC's," and "Violet's ABC's." stamp sets, and "Let's Polka, Mon Amie" patterned paper. I wanted a way to help frame the sentiment, so I used part of the border from one of the "Flirty Frames." Here is a close up on the card:

The images are all colored with Prismacolor pencils, and I also added some details to the images with a white paint pen. I think the sunflower is my favorite image from the Gleeful Garden set! And that snail is so cute!

Thanks for visiting and thank you Kelly for featuring my card today! I hope that you all have a wonderful day!! :)

Merry Christmas!

"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and  placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." - Matthew 2:4-7

Merry Christmas! I am back to share with you the last card in this year's 25 Days of Christmas! This card is to help remind us about the real reason for Christmas:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" and "Riley's ABCs." To make the upper case J, I just used the lower case J without the dot on top! The letters are colored with Prismacolor pencils and coated with stickles.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends. I am so thankful that God gave us the greatest gift of all, His Son! Merry Christmas! :)

25 Days of Christmas Day 23 and 24

 Hi everyone! Merry Christmas eve!! I realized late last night that I forgot to share a Christmas card with you yesterday! There are so many things that I'm trying to get done before Christmas that I completely forgot! I'm sorry!

To make up for it, I'm sharing two Christmas cards with you today! :)

This first card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" and "Winter Gifts." I wanted to make something that was simple and to the point. The letters and images are colored with Prismacolor pencils!

This next card features Lawn Fawn's "Spruce" notecards and Paper Smooches "A Blessed Christmas" stamp and die. Again, simple and to the point!

Well, thanks for stopping by! Do you have any fun Christmas Eve traditions to do today? We always go to the candlelight Christmas Eve service at our church, and then we'll come home to drink some hot chocolate and read a few Christmas stories before bed. I can't wait! Have a nice day! :)

Etsy Shop Saturday!

Hi everyone! I have a quick card to share with you from the Whimsipost Etsy Shop!

A long time ago, I made this card and I decided it was time to make it again in a different colors. So here is the "get whale soon" card in green!

I think I like the blue version better, but this one still looks just as cute!

I am also entering this card into the current Catered Crop challenge since it is all about get well soon cards! Perfect! :)

 Well, thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a great weekend! :)

Lawnscaping #87 - Back to School!

 Good morning! I hope that you had a nice weekend! Whew - I'm exhausted from my weekend! My sister-in-law got married, so everyone in the family has been super busy getting things ready. Everything went smoothly though, and the bride and groom were glowing! I'm so excited for those two! :)

It is time again for another Lawnscaping Challenge!! This weeks challenge is to create a back to school themed project!

My husband is not a fan of this challenge because it means that the beginning of the school year is coming! He's is trying to enjoy his last few weeks of summer vacation! So, to get him pumped up for school to start, I made this card:

Teacher need encouragement, too! :) This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die, "Quinn's 123s" stamp and die, "Hats Off to You," "Smitty's ABCs," "My Silly Valentine," and "Blue Skies" for the stars. Everything is stamped, colored, cut, and adhered to the card base. And I didn't use any foam tape (that's so unlike me!).

The sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp and the winner will receive a $25 gift card to their store!

I hope that you're able to play along with this challenge! I can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Lawnscaping #84 - Stars And/Or Stripes

 Hello everyone! It has been so long since I have shared a card with you! I unfortnately missed the last Lawnscaping Challenge because I came down with a stomach bug (yuck!). And since then, our little girl has been teething (poor kid!). So, I've had my hands full!

 But thankful I was able to participate in this weeks Lawnscaping challenge (and you should, too!!). This weeks challenge is to create a project with stars and/or stripes.

I chose to use stars in my project. A friend is having a baby girl soon, so I made this baby card for her:

 This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die, "Riley's ABCs," "Blue Skies," "Love You S'more," and "Plus One" stamp sets. I colored the letters, moon, and stars with Prismacolor pencils (I just got them for my birthday and they are so much fun!). I added a coat of stickes to the top of the stars to give them some shine. The letters, moon, and some of the stars are attached with foam tape!

Well, thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge! The winner will receive a free stamp set of their choice from Lawn Fawn! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

 Happy Mother's Day! I have a few Mother's Day cards to share with you this morning! :)

For my first card, I used a Halloween set to create a card for moms! It's fun to try and stretch your stamp supplies for different occasions!

 This card features Lawn Fawn's "Critters in Costume" and "Quinn's ABCs" stamp sets, as well as "Quinn's ABCs" dies. Since this is a Mother's Day card, I gave the owl a pink cape and mask (and I even added some sparkle to the cape!).

For my next card, I created a bouquet of flowers! What mom doesn't enjoy receiving flowers on Mother's Day (or any other day...)?!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Our Friendship Grows" and "Happy Everything" stamp sets, as well as some gold sparkle twine. I attached the flowers with a bunch of foam tape to give them a lot of dimension!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a nice weekend! :)

Lawnscaping #75 - Dots and Hearts

Hello everyone! I'm back again! I took a little bit of "time off" from crafting to adjust to my new role as a mother!! Claire Rebekah was born on December 10th and it has been so much fun (as well as so tiring!) getting to know her and watch her grow. Everyone always says that babies grow so fast, and it's so true! I can't believe how much she has grown in her first 8 weeks! I will share some pictures with you all soon! :)

Since naps are becoming more consistent, I was finally able to create a card for the current Lawnscaping Challenge - Dots and Hearts!

 My first thought was to create a Valentine's Day card, so here is what I created:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die, "Good Fortune" stamp and die, "Blue Skies," "Home Sweet Home," and "Peace Love and Joy" mixed sequins. Some of the letters even have some polka dots to match the current challenge!

I hope that you're able to play along, too! The winner of this challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate from Simon Says Stamp!

Thanks so much for stopping by! You'll be seeing more cards from me soon! :)

Peace and Joy

Hello again! I am to share another Christmas card with you today!

I sewed a border on this card (just like yesterday's Christmas card) but you can see this one since it's on darker paper! Yay! This card feature's Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" and "Quinn's 123s" stamp sets, as well as Quinns ABCs dies. Having the die cuts made this card so quick to make! And this would be so easy to make with different sentiments! It's also hard to tell from the picture, but the yellow background is glitter paper! It's so much fun to use!

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

Washi Love

Happy weekend, everyone! I hope that you're having a good weekend so far! I think that I am coming down with a cold, so I am hoping that will go away soon! It would be a much better weekend without the cold, and without work this morning, but it will still be a good one! :)

I have a card to share with you for the current Moxie Fab Challenge - the stickers and tape challenge!

I made a card similar to this one before (you can see that card here), but I recently bought some new washi tape colors so I decided to make another one! I like how easy it is to make a card with washi tape, especially a colorful one! The washi tapes are from various companies (Recollections and some brand that I found at Target). The letters and hearts are from Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die and "Trim the Tree" respectively. I'm not sure which set the small hearts are from, but it is definitely from a Lawn Fawn set. :)

Well, thanks for stopping by! I need to go finish laundry now! :)

You and Me

Hello everyone! I feel bad that I haven't been able to share projects with you lately, but life has been a little bit stressful recently. Work has been really rough for the past few weeks, but things should be getting better soon!

I have a card to share with you today that I made for a Paper Crafts submission that did not get picked up. For this card, I stamped the sentiment twice to give it some dimension!

Here is a close up on the sentiment. I stamped the top image first and then cut out masks of the letters so that I could stamp the back layer. I connected some of the points and colored the letters with a gray colored pencil.

For this card I used Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs," "Blue Skies," and "A Birdie Told Me." The washi tape is from Freckled Fawn and the patterned paper is from Basic Grey. What do you think?

Do you have anything fun planned for the long weekend? We have some cleaning to do today, a picnic to go to tomorrow, and a baseball game to watch on Monday! It should be a fun-filled weekend! :)

Thanks!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope that you had a nice weekend. Did you get to do anything fun? We were able to spend some time on my in-law's boat yesterday! It was a beautiful day and it was fun to hang out with the family for the day!

I have a quick card to share with you today! And it's another one layer card!

This card features various stamp sets from Lawn Fawn including "Quinn's ABCs," "A Birdie Told Me," "Happy Everything," "Good Fortune," and "Plus One." I stamped all of the images in black, colored them with some markers, and added Stickles to the letters, hearts, and stars.

This card also fits perfectly with the current Lawnscaping Challenge! There are still a few days left to play along! :)
