Welcome Baby Elephant Card

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! I have a fun new baby card to share with you today!

I created this card for a friend who recently had a baby boy! This design was quick and easy, and could easily be made into a baby girl card, too!

I started by ink blending a simple background onto Brisol smooth cardstock. I used Broken China, Tumbled Glass, and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide inks on the background, and then lightly spritzed it with water. While that dried, I stamped the elephants from Wild For You (the elephant on the right is mirror stamped) and the leaves from Critters in the Jungle. I colored the images with green and gray copic markers, and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I arranged them onto the inked background and attached the upper leaves with glue and the rest of the elements with foam tape. Then, I created a border with the Large and Small Dotted Rectangle Stackables (you could also create a frame with the Stitched Rectangle Frames) and glued it along the edge of the scene. I finished the card by stamping a few hearts in Wild Rose ink and stamping the sentiment from Little Bundle.

I really like how cute this card turned out! I might create a few more to keep on hand for any upcoming new babies. :)

I hope this has inspired you to create something today! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! :)

LF Inspiration Week: Shut The Front Door

Good morning! Today, the Lawn Fawn design team is sharing different projects, including projects that use the new Shut The Front Door die.

First of all, that is an awesome name for a die! And secondly, look how cool it looks when you create a door!!

Ah, this die is awesome! I can't wait to make more new house cards, Christmas cards with carolers, birthday cards - there are just so many ideas for this die!

For my card, I used the die, along with the Fall Tiny Tags (for the bushes), Bannertastic stamp and die, the "welcome" from Little Bundle, the new Knock On Wood patterned paper, Ballet Slipper ink (for the hearts) and Noble Fir, Cilantro, and Storm Cloud cardstock. This is what the door says on the inside:

Interactive cards are so much fun to create! Don't forget to check out the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration!

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

Lawnscaping #135 - Patterned Palooza

 Hi everyone! It's the first Monday of the month, so that means there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge!

I am so sad because this is my last Lawnscaping Challenge! I have had so much fun playing along with the LS girls, and I am really going to miss being part of the team!

Anyways, the challenge this week is to add patterns to your project, so I decided to make a patterned background from some of the images in the "Little Bundle" stamp set:

I stamped the images on a piece of white cardstock with Manatee Ink, and colored the images with Prismacolor pencils. I also used the "Flirty Frames" stamp and dies for the sentiment and attached it with foam tape. Here is a close up:

I hope that you're able to play along because the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Ellen Hutson! 

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