Home is Where the Heart is Challenge with Lawn Fawn

 Hi friends! I hope that you're all doing well! We're in the middle of selling our house, buying a new house, packing, and getting ready to start school with the kids. Such a crazy, busy time!

I'm excited to share a card with you today for the Home is Where the Heart is Challenge by Tammy Stark! The challenge is to create a card or crafty project based on your hometown. The challenge starts today, August 14th and will be open until August 28th, and a winner will be chosen to receive a gift card from Lawn Fawn, woohoo! To participate, post a card picture on Facebook or Instagram and use the hashtag #homeiswheretheheartischallenge. 

I grew up in a small town near Pittsburgh, but my current hometown is near Penn State University. Since college football is a huge part of PSU and the town, I created a card with critters cheering for Penn State!


I started by creating the background with the Cloudy Stencil and Grassy Hillside Stencil. I also cut the background with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die (I think I use this die on almost every card, haha!). The critters are from the Really High Five and Big Thanks stamp sets. The footballs are from the Plan On It: School stamp set and the little banners were created with the Elphie Selfie set and paw print from the Meow You Doin' set. The sentiment was created with Riley's ABC's and speech bubbles from the A Birdie Told Me and Open Me stamp sets. All of the images are colored with Copic markers and most of them are attached with foam tape.


Do any of you follow college football and if so, are you a Penn State fan, too? I hope that you get a change to play along with this fun challenge and I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for visiting and have a great day! :)

Mr. & Mrs. Card with Lawn Fawn

Hi everyone! I hope that you're having a good week so far! I have a wedding card to share with you today that features stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn!


I started by creating the background with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die and patterned paper. Then, I started creating the sentiment. The "mr & mrs" letters were die cut with black shimmer cardstock and Louie's ABCs. I used the embossing ink pad to ink the bottom part of the letters, added gold embossing powder, and heat set it with my heat gun. I love how the letters look with the gold! The "congrats" is from the Big Scripty Words stamp and die set.


I glued the letters and sentiment to the background. The rings are from the Happy Wedding stamp set. To create the wedding band, I selectively stamped the ring without the diamond and used a fine tip black marker to draw the rest of the lines onto the band. I also added chunky glitter to the diamond to give it some extra sparkle! I finished the card by adding a few small hearts.


Have you ever added embossing to the bottom of your sentiment? It's such a fun way to add extra details to die cut letters!

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

Showering You with Love with Lawn Fawn

Hi friends! I shared this baby/bridal shower card recently on the Whimsipost Instagram and Facebook page, but I wanted to give you more details on how I created this card.


I started by creating the background by die cutting a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die. Using blending brushes and the Cloudy Stencil, I ink blended the background in a light blue ink.

The sentiment is white heat embossed onto black cardstock and created with Smitty's ABCs stamp set. The alphabet sets are perfect to use to create custom sentiments! The "love" sentiment is from the Big Scripty Words stamp set and was cut to just use part of the sentiment.


The umbrellas are from the Tiny Gift Box Chick and Duck Add-On die and were cut from yellow and blue patterned paper. I also used the Heart dies cut from pink cardstock to glue around the umbrellas.


Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy these bridal/baby shower cards!
