LF Inspiration Week: Oh Gnome!

Hi everyone! I hope you're excited because today is the start of the Lawn Fawn Inspiration and Release week! All of the new products will be available on Thursday, February 21st. In the mean time, the design team will be sharing lots of inspiration for you!

Today, we're sharing projects that feature the new Oh Gnome! stamp and die set!

This new set is so sweet and can be used for so many different occasions. I used it today to create a birthday card! To create this card, I started by die cutting a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables die and ink blending it with Mermaid ink. Then, I used the Simple Grassy Hillsides and Stitched Garden Border to add the grass and ground. I ink blended the grass and ground with Freshly Cut Grass and Doe ink respectively. Then, I attached the scene to a white card base with double sided tape.

I stamped all of the images from this scene onto Neenah cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. Then, I used the coordinating die cuts to cut the images and arranged them on the scene. The images are attached with either foam tape or liquid glue.

After that, I stamped the sentiment at the top in black ink and added a few hearts stamped in Wild Rose ink. I think it's so cute that you can stack the presents in the wheel barrel to look like someone is getting a ton of gifts for their birthday!

Check out the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration! I'll be back again tomorrow with another card to share with you! Have a great day! :)

LF Inspiration Week: Hay There

Hi everyone! I hope that you're having a good week so far! Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week continues today with a look at the new Hay There stamp set!

This might be my favorite set from the new release! The critters are just so cute in this set!

I colored all of the animals and the barn with Copic markers. I used the Stitched Hillside Borders die to cut three different hillsides and I ink blended them with Lemonade, Freshly Cut Grass, and the new Cilantro inks. To make the one hillside look like a hay field, I drew yellow lines on it with a Copic marker after it was ink blended with yellow ink. The sky is ink blended with Mermaid ink and the sentiment is stamped in black Memento ink. I also used the Little Picket Fence Border die and added it behind the barn. The card is finished with the new Ocean Sparkle Lawn Trimmings.

Thanks so much for stopping by! And thank you for all of your sweet comments this week! I hope you have enjoyed all of the inspiration this week, and I can't wait to see what everyone makes with the new products! Everything is available tomorrow at Lawn Fawn!

Christmas Letterpress Card

Hi everyone! I hope that you're having a great week so far! 

I have a fun card to share with you today for Taheerah's Advant Calendar Extravaganza! You can find out more information about the Advant blog hop on the Lawn Fawn blog!

I created this fun set of Christmas Letterpress cards! I saw this technique a while ago from Jennifer McGuire and I just had to try it out!

For this card, I used Lawn Fawn's Scripty Merry die, the Large Wreath die, Wild Rose and Freshly Cut Grass ink, white embossing powder, and the Christmas sentiment from the Cheery Christmas set. The letterpress technique gives this really neat inked impression on the card! Here is a close up on the card:

I also have a video to show you how to recreate this card! You can watch the video below or on the Whimsipost YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for watching and I hope it has inspired you to try this fun technique! Thanks and have a great weekend! :)

Ellen Hutson Love Ya Bunches Set

Hi everyone! I am so excited to share this card with you today! Lawn Fawn and Ellen Hutson collaborated to bring you this adorable Love Ya Bunches stamp and die set!!

Ah, the monkeys are so cute!! And they included some really cute and punny sentiments, too! This set is part of the United We Flourish program from Ellen Hutson, and here is a little bit of information about the program:

Last November we began celebrating our 10th anniversary with our United We Flourish theme. We would not be here without the amazing companies we work with, the designers who create stunning projects showcasing the amazing products being created AND you our fabulous customers! YOU are such a vital part of our creative community - you inspire & encourage us! Your response to United We Flourish was overwhelming and heart-warming. We heard repeatedly from you that you appreciate how our little company works together with the other manufacturers we carry to bring you their products and education showing how to use those products. To thank you for your constant support and encouragement, we have something incredibly special we began working on shortly after that anniversary.

We have partnered with some of our friends to offer exclusive limited edition stamp & die sets!!! These sets will be available for a limited time (most likely 3-6 months) after each release, depending on how quickly you snap them up. The theme of these stamp sets are uplifting and fun.

We are thrilled to present the first one to you... Love Ya Bunches by Lawn Fawn exclusively for Ellen Hutson LLC. United We Flourish, because we’re better together!

 Here is the card that I created with this set:

I cut a piece of white cardstock a little bit smaller than my card base, and used the Outside In Stitched Circle Stackable to cut out the window. I used the Freshly Cut Grass on the card base where the window was going to be. The white panel is attached with foam tape, and the images are all colored with Copic markers and attached with foam tape or glue. I used a Bannertastic banner to highlight part of the sentiment, and I stamped the other part directly onto the white panel. I finished by adding two die cut hearts colored with Copic markers and covered in clear stickles.

 There's more inspiration from the design team on the Lawn Fawn blog, so check it out! And make sure you get this set quickly because it's only available for a limited time!

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

Birthday Puppies!

Hi everyone! The Lawn Fawn design team is partnering with the Scrapbook Adhesive team to provide some awesome inspiration this week!

For this card, I used the E-Z Micro Runner to attach the presents and bones, and 3D Foam Squares to attached the dogs and background panel to the card. I also used the 3D Foam Creative Sheets to make the sentiment! I die cut the foam from Lawn Fawn's Big Scripty Words Dies, attached the foam to the card panel, and then added green glitter on top. It is so neat that you can make custom foam stickers from the 3D Foam sheets and Lawn Cuts!

The dogs are from the Happy Howloween and Happy Howlidays stamp sets and have birthday hats from the Hats Off to You set. The white cardstock was cut from the Dotted Rectangle dies and attached to a piece of Perfectly Plaid Christmas patterned paper cut from the Scalloped Rectangle dies. To create the background, I used the Mermaid and Freshly Cut Grass to ink the grass and sky.

Check out the Lawn Fawn blog for some more inspiration and for a chance to win a fun prize package!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day! :)

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week: Cheery Christmas

Hi everyone! I hope that your week is going well so far! Today the Lawn Fawn design team is featuring the new Cheery Christmas stamp set! 

This set is adorable and perfect for Christmas! The critters are so cute (and the deer go perfectly with the deer from the Toboggan Together set!). I really like the squirrels in the set!

For this card, I stamped the Christmas tree in the background in Freshly Cut Grass, and I stamped the stars and ornaments in a variety of colors - Sugarplum, Guava, and Fish Tank. I also used a speech bubble from the A Birdie Told Me stamp set.

The acorn present is such a cute idea, hehe!

Thanks for stopping by today! And stop by the Lawn Fawn blog for a chance to win this adorable stamp set! :)

Lawnscaping #131 - Off Kilter

Good morning everyone! I'm so excited to be back! It's really hard to find time to craft with two kiddos now, but I'm so glad that I was able to make a card for the new Lawnscaping Challenge!

The theme for this challenge is off kilter - to use at least one element on an angle. I decided to make a cute little scene and I attached it to my card at an angle with washi tape!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Critters Down Under," "Stitched Journaling Card," "Simple Stitched Hillside Border," "Chit Chat" stamp and die, and various inks - Wild Rose, Mermaid, Merman, Doe, and Freshly Cut Grass. This card makes me smile and I can't wait to send it to a friend for her birthday! Here is a close up on the scene:

The sponsor for this challenge is Ellen Hutson, and the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate! I hope that you're able to play along, and I can't wait to see what you create! :)

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

Lawnscaping #119 - Tags!

 Hi everyone! I hope that you had a nice weekend! We are busy getting things ready for my daughter's 2nd birthday party this weekend! I can't believe she is two already! :(

Anyways, there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge today! The challenge is to create or use a tag in your project.

I decided to make some cute, mini Christmas tags to decorate my gifts this year!

These tags feature Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Circle Tags," "Hillside Border" dies, "Toboggan Together" stamp and dies, and Freshly Cut Grass ink. I started by die cutting the tags from blue card stock. I die cut the snowy hillside from white card stock and added some clear stickles along the edge. The critters are stamped in black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils, and the trees are stamped in the Freshly Cut grass ink. The critters and trees were die cut with the coordinating dies and attached to the tags with foam tape. I then finished the tags with some white and silver sparkly ribbon! These are all small tags, but they're so cute with the critters!

I hope that you're able to play along with the challenge this week, because the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Ellen Hutson! Definitely a prize worth playing for!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day! :)

Gingerbread Family Christmas

 Hi everyone! I hope that you had a nice, relaxing weekend! We were able to spend some time with family yesterday to celebrate Thanksgiving together! It is so much fun to see everyone and catch up over delicious food! :)

Anyways, I have a fun card to share with you that is being featured on the Lawn Fawn Blog today!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Toboggan Together" stamp and dies, "Sweet Christmas" stamp and dies, "Stitched Hillside Border" dies, "Scalloped Rectangle Stackables" die, and some of their inks as well - Mermaid, Fish Tank, and Freshly Cut Grass. I started with a white card base, and inked the edges with the Mermaid ink. I really like how it adds a hint of color around the edge for the sky. Then, I cut out two hills from white card stock and added some frosted lace stickles to the edge. The trees are stamped in the Freshly Cut Grass ink, die cut, and attached with glue. I wanted the gingerbread family to look like gingerbread, so I die cut them from kraft card stock, and added the details with a white gel pen. The family is attached with foam tape, and then the sentiment is stamped in the Fish Tank blue ink.

To make the frame, I die cut a piece of glittery paper with the scalloped rectangle die. If you have the regular rectangle dies, you can die cut that in the middle to make the frame. If you don't have the regular rectangle dies, then determine how much you want to cut from the inside, and use an X-acto knife and ruler to cut out the inside.

Thanks for stopping by today, and thank you Kelly Marie for sharing this card on the LF blog this morning! Have a great week! :)

Lawnscaping #108 - Stars and/or Stripes

 Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the delay in my Lawnscaping Challenge post! But better late than never, right? :)

This new challenge is all about adding stars and/or stripes to your project! I decided to focus on stripes, and so I created this chevron striped birthday card set!

Lawn Fawn's "Chevron Backdrops" would be great for this card, but since I don't have that stamp set, I had to create a chevron stripe mask. I just cut out the chevron stripe mask from a piece of card stock, and adhered it to my card with washi tape wherever I wanted a stripe to be!

Each of these cards feature Lawn Fawn's "Cole's ABCs" die, "Happy Everything" stamp set, and Lawn Fawn inks including Freshly Cut Grass, Mermaid, and Wild Rose.

I also added some black enamel dots to the cards to give it some extra detail. I really like how simple and cute these turned out!

I tried to make the colors darker on the first stripe and lighter on the last one, but that only turned out well was the blue card. Oh well, they're still cute!  Here is a close up on the sentiment:

Well, thanks for stopping by and I hope that you're able to play along with this current challenge! The winner will receive a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn (and they have some really cute new products to choose from!)

Thanks everyone and have a great week! :)

Lawnscaping #106 - Try a New Technique

 Hi everyone! I hope that you all had a nice weekend! We enjoyed a minor league baseball game with our youth group this weekend, and some fireworks, too! It was a lot of fun, even though the game lasted forever (it went into the 13th inning and I never thought it would end!). 

There is a new Lawnscaping Challenge today, which is all about trying a new technique!

I remember that Yainea shared this technique a long while ago, so I tried it! I used foam to create a stamp! 

I used Lawn Fawn's "Scripty Thanks" die to die cut some foam, and then attached it to a stamping block with some adhesive. I then used some colorful inks, including Lawn Fawn's "Wild Rose," "Freshly Cut Grass," and "Mermaid" inks, to stamp the sentiment. After I stamped the sentiment multiple times, I added some stars to give it some more details.

I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge! The winner will receive a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn, too!

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

Lawnscaping #105 - Watercolors

Hi everyone! Sorry that my post is a little bit late. This weekend was so busy that I completely forgot to post it until now!

Anyways, the current Lawnscaping challenge is all about watercolors!

Watercolor backgrounds are always so, so pretty, but I have such a hard time making mine look as nice, so I decided to use inks as watercolors to color my images!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Best Pun Ever" and "Riley's ABCs" stamp sets, as well as Wild Rose, Freshly Cut Grass, and Mermaid ink pads. I also used Hero Arts Stone Wash and Butter Bar inks for the yellow and dark blue popsicles. To color the images, I dabbed the inks onto some wax paper and added some water. Then using a paint brush, I colored the images with the ink! Lawn Fawn's inks worked really well for this technique (the hero art inks turned out splotchy!)

The sponsor for this challenge is Ellen Hutson and the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to their store!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a good day! The weather is beautiful today so I think we'll spend some time outside! :)
