Nursery Banners

Hi everyone!! I hope that you had a good weekend! The schools in our area start this week, which means my husband has to go back to school - boo! It's been so nice to have him home this summer!

This morning, I have a fun project to share with you that is featured on the Lawn Fawn Blog! My sister-in-law is due in September, so I made this banner for one of her baby showers and for her to hang in the nursery when baby Emma gets here!


Her nursery theme is hot air balloons, so Lawn Fawn's "Blue Skies" stamp and dies were perfect for this banner! Here is a close up on the banner:


The banner also features "Stitched Party Banners," "Puffy Cloud Borders," "Finley's ABCs" and "Hearts" dies. I also used patterned paper from the "Let's Polka" collection for the hot air balloons.


I also made a second banner to decorate the nursery with. I used the "Hearts" and "Blue Skies" dies to cut out quite a few images from card stock and patterned paper. Then, I used my sewing machine to sew all of the images together. The banner is so cute in person! I might try this again with some different images! 

Well, thanks for stopping by, and thank you Kelly Marie for sharing these banners on the Lawn Fawn Blog! Have a good day! :)

Lawnscaping #112 - Embossing

Hi everyone! I hope that you had a good weekend! It's time again for a new Lawnscaping Challenge! :)


The challenge this week is to create a card or project with embossing - either heat, dry, texture paste, or anything else! I decided to do some dry embossing with my Lawn Fawn dies!


I created the background by using Lawn Fawn's "Puffy Cloud Borders" die and dry embossed with my Big Shot. Then, I cut out the panel with the "Stitched Square Stackables" and inked the panel with the Mermaid ink. I think it looks a lot better in person (this photo didn't turn out very well - oh well, next time!). Then, I added the sentiment and hearts by using some pink patterned paper and "Finley's ABCs," "Hearts" dies, and "Fintastic Friends" and "Let's BBQ" stamp sets (for the "is in the"). 

I hope that you're able to play along because the winner will receive a free stamp set of their choice from Lawn Fawn! :)


Thanks again for stopping by, and have a great day! :)

Oreo Truffle Tags!

Hi there! Did you do anything fun this weekend? We went to a wedding for some church friends of ours, and we had a blast! The wedding was beautiful and we are so excited for the two of them! The rest of the weekend, we recovered from the busyness of the wedding. It was so cute to watch my 18 month old dancing at the wedding - she had so much fun!

Anyways, I have some thank you tags to share with you that are being featured on the Lawn Fawn Blog this morning! This first tag was made for the favor at my sister-in-law's baby shower!


And this tag was for a bridal shower at my church!


These tags were so easy and quick to make, and they looked so cute with the oreo truffles! These tags feature Lawn Fawn's "Tag, You're It" dies, "Happy Wedding" stamp and die, "Blue Skies" (for the bridal shower thanks), "Plus One" stamp and die, and one of the bonus stamps that are included in the Lawn Fawn orders (for the baby shower thanks).  To make the tags, I die cut a bunch of tags from pink or blue paper, and then stamped the sentiment onto the tags. Then, I stamped, colored, and die cut all of the storks and love birds from white card stock, and attached them with foam tape. Super easy, and super cute! :)


Thanks for stopping by, and thank you, Kelly Marie, for sharing these tags on the Lawn Fawn Blog! I hope that you have a great week! :)

Lawnscaping #111 - Back to School

 Happy Monday! I can't believe that the beginning of school is just a few weeks away! The schools in our area don't start until September 1st, but that is going to be here before we know it! So, the new Lawnscaping Challenge is all about back to school!


Here is the card that I made for this challenge, and also for my husband when he starts school in September! :)


This card features Lawn Fawn's "Fintastic Friends" stamp and die, "Bannerific," "Riley's ABCs," and "Making Frosty Friends" (for the "you're a"), and patterned paper from Pint-sized Patterns Beachside. I stamped, die cut, and colored the fish and banner, and attached them to the card stock with foam tape. Then, I stamped the "fintastic" in the banner, and the sentiment above and below the banner. I mounted the white card stock on patterned paper from the Beachside collection. I'm sure that this card will brighten my husband's day on his first day of school! :)

Ellen Hutson is sponsoring this challenge and the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to their shop! I hope that you can play along! 

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the last few weeks of summer! :)
