Colorful Square Thanks Card

Hi friends! I'm back again with another card inspired by the Spring Card Camp 2 class by Online Card Classes. This card was based on the Day 12 lesson on geometric patterns.

I used the two smallest square dies from the Large Stitched Square Stackable and Small Stitched Square Stackables die to die cut a bunch of squares from scraps of patterned paper. I used a bunch of different colors so that I could arrange the squares in rainbow order. Everything is prettier in rainbow order! I glued the squares to a white card base and trimmed off the edges. I added the sentiment die cut from the Scripy Thanks die and white embossed from the Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn Big Thanks stamp set. I finished by added a few black enamel dots around the sentiment. Here's another look at the geometric background:

This card took a while with all of the die cut, but it turned out so neat! Thanks so much for visiting today and have a great evening! :)

Happy Birthday to a Fungi

Hi everyone! I hope that you're all having a great week so far! We are enjoying the warm, summer weather and all of the fun activities that go with it (like bonfires, popsicles, and the kiddie swimming pool!) 

I have a fun birthday card to share with you today! Sometimes it is tough to create cards for the guys in our lives, but this card is simple and perfect for guys!

The "happy birthday to a" and the mushroom on the right are part of an exclusive set from Scrapbook.com a few years ago, but you can still create this card with other Lawn Fawn images that you may have. The other two mushrooms are from the Gleeful Gardens set and are colored with Copic markers. The sentiment is die cut from black cardstock with the Finley's ABCs die. The set Happy Happy Happy has sentiments that you could use to create the "happy birthday to a" sentiment in place of the exclusive set.

To create the background, I die cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with the Stitched Square Stackable die and ink blended it with Mermaid ink. I used the Simple Grassy Hillsides for the grass and ink blended it with Cilantro ink. I also stamped some extra grass from the Mom + Me set in Cilantro ink to add some more details to the scene. Here's a close up on the card:

 This card makes me laugh every time I read this sentiment and I think it might become my go-to card for all the guys in my family! Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day! :)

LF Inspiration Week: Hang in There

Hi everyone! The Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week continues today with a look at the Hang In There stamp and die.

The sloth is so cute hanging from the branch! And it's the perfect critter to use on a belated birthday card!

For my card today, I paired the sloth with the bird and trees from Critters Down Under. I also used the Simple Grassy Hillside borders along with the Simple Stitched Hillside borders and the Stitched Square Stackable dies. The images are all colored with Prismacolor pencils and attached with foam tape.

Stop by the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration with this adorable set! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend! :)

Love Love Love

 Hello again! I'm back again to share a card that is being featured on the Lawn Fawn blog this morning!

I wanted to make something colorful and cute for Valentine's Day! This card features Lawn Fawn's large and small "Stitched Square Stackables" dies, "Scripty Love" die, and a few Lawn Fawn inks - Mermaid, Wild Rose, and Sunflower. 

I started by die cutting the love three times from white card stock. I then used the Lawn Fawn inks to color the die cuts, starting at the bottom and making it a little bit lighter at the top. I attached the die cuts to the card base with glue.

I also used the square dies to create a border and attached it with foam tape. I finished the card by stamping a few hearts around the sentiment in the coordinating inks. Here is a close up on the card:

Thanks for stopping by! And thank you, Kelly, for sharing this card on the Lawn Fawn blog this morning! :)

Lawnscaping #122 - Watercoloring

 Good morning! I hope that everyone had a nice weekend! We finally put away the Christmas decorations and put the house back in order. It's nice to have things back in place, but it always makes me sad to put away the decorations. Until next year! :)

It's time again for another Lawnscaping Challenge! The theme this week is watercoloring!

Watercoloring looks so pretty, but I'm really not that good at it, so this is the best that I could manage! I used a smoosh technique to create this multi-colored background.

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Bugs and Kisses" stamp and die, and Stitched Square Stackable dies. I started by making the watercolored background and once it was dry, I used the square dies to cut it out. I also used two of the square dies together to make the white frame around the images. The images are all colored with Prismacolor pencils and attached with foam tape. Here is a close up on the card:

 Please ignore the "g" in bug. I must have moved the stamp block while I was stamping the sentiment. Opps!

You have until Wednesday, January 27th to play along and the winner will receive a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn! I can't wait to see what you create!

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

Lawnscaping #120 - Christmas

 Hi everyone! Christmas is only a few days away! I still need to make and wrap a few gifts, but everything is ready! I can't believe Christmas is almost here!

I also can't believe that this is the last Lawnscaping Challenge of the year! The theme for this challenge is Christmas!

Here is the Christmas card that I created for this challenge:

I used a bunch of Lawn Fawn Christmas paper with the smallest "Small Stitched Square" die to cut a whole bunch of squares! Then, I arranged them on the case base to form a fun pattern. It's so Christmas-y! This card needed a big, bold sentiment to stand out against the background, so I used "Finley's ABCs" with black paper to die cut the sentiment. I also added stickles and glossy accents to the sentiment. Here is a close up to see some of the sparkle and detail!

Well, I hope that you'll be able to find some time to play along with this last challenge of the year! The winner will receive a free stamp set of their choice from Lawn Fawn!

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

Punny Sheep Christmas Cards

*This is my second post of the day. If you are looking for my Lawnscaping post, scroll down or click here.

Hello again everyone! I am super excited to be able to share some cute Christmas cards on the Lawn Fawn blog today!!

These cards all feature the "Baaah Humbug" and "Flirty Frames" stamp set and dies. This first card is my favorite one of the set. That bow is so cute, and that sentiment is perfect for Christmas cards! The sheep and frames are all colored with Prismacolor pencils. I also added some white details to the little images and the frames.

The sheep on the green card is so cute holding that little present!

The blue cards sheep needed a scarf to keep him warm this winter!

I really like this purple for an unexpected Christmas card color!

The sheep are all so cute and I really like how they can hold a bunch of different images. You can even add images from different stamp sets (the heart from the first sheep card came from a different set).

Thanks for stopping by to check out these Christmas cards, and thank you Kelly Marie for sharing these cards on the Lawn Fawn blog today! Have a great 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! :)

Creative Chick 10th Blogiversary!

Hi everyone! I hope that you're all doing well! My dear friend, Jenn, asked me to help her celebrate her 10th Blogiversary today!! Congrats, Jenn! 

To help her celebrate, she asked each us to CASE one of the cards from her blog. I had a hard time picking which card to CASE, because they're all so pretty! I finally narrowed it down and chose to CASE this tag that she created:

I really liked how she let the water colored picture show through the die cut "life" letters, so I was inspired by that to create this card:

I used Lawn Fawn's "Scripty Thanks," "Finley's ABCs," and the "Stitched Square Stackables" dies to create this card. The background paper is some colorful paper from Pebbles Inc "Sunnyside" collection. I also really liked the gold star that Jenn had on her card, so I added some gold enamel dots around the sentiment. Here is a close up:

You can help Jenn celebrate her 10th Blogiversary, too! CASE one of her cards by August 4th and link it up to her blog and you could have a chance to win some fabulous prizes by these great sponsors!

Don't forget that you have until August 4th to participate and the winners will be announced on August 7th! Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Blogiversary, Jenn!! :)

BBQ Puns

 Hello! I have two really fun cards to share with you this morning that are being featured on the Lawn Fawn Blog! These cards make me giggle every time I look at them! :)

Both of these cards feature Lawn Fawn's "Let's BBQ" stamp and dies, "A Birdie Told Me" stamp and dies, "Smitty's ABCs," "Riley's ABCs," "Stitched Square Stackables" dies, "Let's Polka" patterned paper, and "Cloudy" Lawn Trimmings.

I think the mustard card is my favorite! The sentiment makes me giggle!

For this card, I used the sentiment that is included in the "Let's BBQ" stamp set and inked different portions of the stamp so that it would fit inside of the speech bubble. Before I attached the images with foam tape, I used a grey colored pencil to shade a spot on the "ground" for the image to sit on.

Well, thank you for stopping by, and thank you, Kelly Marie, for sharing my cards on the Lawn Fawn Blog today! I hope that everyone has a great day! :)

Dad, you're fantastic!

 Hello! Father's Day is fast approaching, so I wanted to have a card ready this year! I usually forget to make one until the last minute, but not this year! Here is the card that I'm going to send to my dad:

I used Lawn Fawn's "Best Pun Ever" stamp set (and die), "Finley's ABCs" die cut, "Stitched Square Stackables" die, and "Let's Polka" and "Let's Polka, Mon Amie" patterned paper. I wanted to make this card fun and interactive, so I stamped and cut out a second fan blade, and attached it to the first fan with a brad! Now, you can spin the fan blade!

I also die cut a few "dad" letters because I wanted the letters to stand out on the card. I think there are three layers. I really like how this turned out, so I made the same card for my husband and father-in-law! :)

Thank you Kelly Marie for featuring this card on the Lawn Fawn Blog today! I hope that you all have a good evening, and enjoy the rest of your week! This is my husband's last week of school, so I am really looking forward to him spending more time with us at home! Yay! :)

You're the coolest!

Hi everyone! I hope that you're having a good week so far! The weather has been gorgeous lately, so we've been able to take some walks, watch some softball games (my husband plays in a church league), and swing in the backyard. It's so nice!

I have a quick card to share with you today. I always need more thank you card and this was really easy to put together.

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Best Pun Ever" stamp and dies, "Scripty Thanks" die, "Stitched Square Stackable" die, Let's Polka petite paper pack, and Wild Rose ink pad. I used the Wild Rose ink to ink some white card stock before running the Thanks die through my Cuttlebug. That way the "thanks" matched the other ink and the pattern paper perfectly!

Well, thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day! My daughter just went done for a nap so it's time to get some chores done around the house! :)

Lawnscaping #103 - Dimension

Good morning, everyone! I hope that you had a great Easter with your family and friends! We did a lot of traveling this past weekend, but it was great to be able to visit with everyone! And it was so much fun watching my daughter hunt for eggs! :)

It's time again for another Lawnscaping Challenge! The challenge is to incorporate dimension into your project, by using double sided tape, texture, foam tape, or whatever else!

I used a bunch of foam tape (I use that stuff all the time!) to create this cute anniversary scene:

I used Lawn Fawn's "Small Stitched Square Stackables" dies to create a window with some blue paper behind it for the sky. This card also features "Into the Woods," "Milo's ABCs," and some Lawn Trimmings. I mirror stamped the female deer, colored her a little bit lighter, and added some eye lashes. She's so cute! Here is a close up of the scene:

The top layer of grass is attached with two layers of foam tape, so it really stands out!

Well, thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the rest of the cards from the Lawnscaping Design Team! And don't forget to play along because the winner of this challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate from Ellen Hutson! :)

Thanks! I hope you have a great day! :)

Welcome Sweet Baby

 Hi everyone! I hope that things are going well with you! I can't believe it, but it is actually snowing today! Noo!! This better be the last of the snow because I'm so ready for the warmer weather!!

Anyways, I have some cards to share with you today that were featured on the Lawn Fawn blog yesterday! I made these cute welcome baby cards!

I have wanted to make a baby card with a mom and baby elephant for so long, and when Lawn Fawn released the "Critters in the Jungle" stamp set, I knew this was my chance!

I think I made the pink one first and then realized that I really like how it turned out, so I made a blue one as well! 

These cards feature a ton of products from Lawn Fawn: "Critters in the Jungle," "Love You Tons," "Flirty Frames," "Critters Down Under" (for the sentiment), "Milk and Cookie" (for the sentiment), Let's Polka petite paper pack, "Heart" dies, "Small Stitched Square Stackables" dies, and Lawn Trimmings. 

Well, thanks for stopping by! I hope that you enjoy the rest of your weekend and that you have warmer weather than we do here! :)
