Lawnscaping #110 - Color

 Hi everyone! I hope that you all had a nice weekend. It has been so hot and humid the past few days and there was even a tornado warning last night for a nearby town! That was scary and I pray that everyone was okay! It's not very often that there is a tornado in central PA!

On a brighter note, there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge today, and the theme is all about colors!

I always find myself making cards with rainbow colors because those colors are so cheery and fun! Here is the card that I made for this challenge:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Flirty Frames" stamp and dies, and many thank you stamps including "Critters in the Forest," "Blue Skies," "Home Sweet Home," "Good Fortune," and several of the complimentary thanks stamps from Lawn Fawn orders. I also used a variety of patterned papers from Lawn Fawn for the frames, including "Let's Polka," "Sweater Weather," and "Into the Woods."

To create the card, I first stamped and die cut the frames from the various patterned papers. Then, I used my X-acto knife to cut out the inside of the frames. I arranged the frames on the paper, attached them with some glue, and then stamped the sentiments inside each of the frames. I really like the collage look from those colorful frames!

I hope that you're able to play along with this challenge! The winner from this challenge will win a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn! Don't forget to check out the Lawn Fawn Blog this week, too, because they're sharing some sneak peeks of their new products! :)

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

Lawnscaping #104 - Sketch

 Hi everyone! I hope that you had a nice weekend! The weather was gorgeous this weekend, so we were able to spend a lot of time outside. I hope that the nice weather is finally here to stay!

Anyways, it is time again for a new Lawnscaping Challenge! The challenge is to create a project based off of the sketch.

I was inspired by the circle in the sketch to create this card:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Flirty Frames" stamp and die, "Stitched Journaling Card" die, "Hello Sunshine" stamp, Lawn Trimming, and a bunch of patterned paper including "Let's Polka," "Sweater Weather," and "Hello Sunshine" petite paper packs. This colorful card is definitely going to brighten someone's mailbox! :)

I hope that you're able to play along with the challenge! The winner will receive a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn! Woo hoo! Don't forget to also check out the projects from the rest of the Lawnscaing design team because they're all so amazing!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your day! :)

Lawnscaping #93 - Fall & Pumpkins

 Happy Monday everyone! Can you believe that it is already November?! Wow, this year is going by so fast! It got really cold in central PA this weekend and I am definitely not ready for the cold weather! Brrr!

Since it's the first Monday of the month, that means there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge! The current challenge is to create a project that focuses on fall and/or pumpkins.

 Here is the card that I created:

I used Lawn Fawn's "So Thankful" stamp set (those pumpkins are so cute!), Sweater Weather patterned paper, Scripty Thanks die cut, and Cloudy Lawn Trimmings. I used a partial die technique to make the sentiment frame. Here is a close up of the sentiment.

I also added stickles to the thanks (but it's a little bit hard to see). I added a piece of vellum over the patterned paper so help make the sentiment a little bit easier to see (I should have used a color other than white!).

Well, I hope that you're able to play along with the challenge! The sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp and the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate!

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

Lawnscaping #92 - Halloween!

Happy Monday! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! Did you do anything fun? We were able to spend the weekend visiting family and attending a wedding! It was so great to see everyone! And weddings are so much fun to go to! That was the fourth wedding that we went to this year! Whew!

Anyways, it's time again for a new Lawnscaping Challenge! Since Halloween is coming up soon, the challenge is to create a Halloween themed card, or to use the color combo in the picture.

I decided to go with a cute Halloween card, so this is what I created:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Finley's ABCs" die, the grass from "Gnome Sweet Gnome," and a bunch of images from "Critters in Costume." The sentiment is also die cut from brown patterned paper for the Sweater Weather petite paper pack. Those Halloween critters always make me smile!

The sponsor for this challenge is Lawn Fawn and the winner will receive a free stamp set of their choice!

I also wanted to let you know that there is a design team call for the Lawnscaping Facebook Inspiration Team! You have until this Saturday, October 25th, to enter! Check out the Lawnscaping Blog by clicking here to get more information! I can't wait to see what you guys create! :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Lawnscaping #91 - Patterned Paper

 Good morning everyone! Did you have a nice weekend? We were able to hang out with some friends this weekend at a wedding! It was beautiful and we all had such a nice time! Weddings are so much fun to go to! :)

It's the first Monday in October, so that means there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge! You'll like this one, it is all about patterned paper!

Here is the card that I created for this challenge:

I used a bunch of different patterned paper from Lawn Fawn's "Sweater Weather" petite paper pack. I used "Finley's ABCs" to die cut two of each letters - one in the patterned paper and one out of black card stock. I used the black letters to give it a shadowy look. I also added stickles to the patterned paper to make it sparkly! The birds are from "A Birdie Told Me" and the sentiment is creatively stamped from "Our Friendship Grows."

This weeks sponsor is Simon Says Stamp and the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate! 

I hope that you're able to play along with the challenge! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Thank You Set

 Hello everyone! I have some cards to share with you that I made for the current Wanna Sketch Challenge. Here is the sketch for the current challenge:

And this is the mini card set that I made:

To create these cards, I cut 4.5" by 3.25" kraft card base and stamped Lawn Fawn's "Woodgrain Background" in brown. I die cut tags from LF's "Tag, You're It" out of vellum and "Sweater Weather" patterned paper. I stamped the sentiment onto the vellum from Simon Says Stamp's "Flower Friend" and added hearts die cut from the same patterned paper. Then, I tied the tags with some brown ribbon and attached them to the card base.

I think this mini set is so cute! I really like how the colors stand out against the kraft background.

Well, thanks for stopping by! If you get a chance, you should definitely play along with the Wanna Sketch Challenges. Lisa's sketches are always so cute and inspiring! :)

Happy Fall

Hi everyone! I'm sharing a super cute fall themed card on the Lawn Fawn Blog today! Yay!

This card features Lawn Fawn's newest alphabet die, "Finley's ABCs," as well as images from "Critters in Costume." The patterned paper for the letter is also cut from one of their new paper collections, "Sweater Weather." I'm not sure about you, but I have such a hard time lining things up, especially letters, so I usually just place them all crooked on purpose! That way, no one will ever know if one if crooked! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your week! :)
