Udderly Adorable!

I can't believe I am going to say this, but today in Pennsylvania, it snowed! Yes, snow! There wasn't any accumulation in my area and my husband didn't have a delay or the day off from school, but there was definitely snow. I had to dig out my boots and gloves today. Brr!

Oh a much brighter note, I have a card to share with you today! It fits this weeks Lawnscaping Challenge, Stamp a Scene!

 

I recently received Lawn Fawn's "Critters on the Farm" set, and I told you there would be more cards featuring that set, so here it is:

I used mirror image stamping for the girl cow and gave her a hand drawn bow. The grass comes from the "Gnome Sweet Gnome" set and the font is "Smitty's ABC's." I think it's cute! My husband came up with the punny quote on the card. :)

Thanks for stopping by! Check out the other great cards in the challenge!

Hay There!

Good evening! I apologize for the infrequent blog posts. My husband and I had a pretty full social calendar this week so I didn't have much time. But, I did manage to make a card for a challenge hosted by Lawn Fawn this week. Lawn Fawn hosted a challenge to support Operation Write Home, which sends cards to troops for them to send to their loved ones. So, I pulled out my new stamp set, Critters on the Farm, and made this:

 

Puns are great! I'm sure you will see more farm themed cards with puns this week! Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. This card is also entered into this week's Lawnscaping Challenge - stamp a scene! Go check out the other awesome cards!s

Lawnscaping Challenge #31

Good evening! I've been meaning to post this card, but of course I wait until late at night. I should be in bed, so I'll make this quick!


I made this card for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge. The challenge is to make a card that incorporates coloring with whatever you want to use. I chose to use colored pencils - my favorite! Of course I had to use the Gnome Sweet Gnome set, so here's my card:


I colored the flamingos with colored pencils and made the "male" flamingo a darker color than the "female." There were a lot of first for me in this card. This was the first time that I tried mirror stamping and I think it turned out pretty well! This was also my first attempt at distressing paper! I found some sandpaper and I distressed the edges of the yellow paper and it was really fun! I might start using mirror stamping and distressing more often!

I also made this card for the latest CAS-ual Friday Challenge, which was to create a card based on a song. I obviously chose "You Are my Sunshine" and I think it's fitting because we've had some gorgeous weather here lately!

Well, thanks for stopping by! Good night!

Lawnscaping Challenge #30

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a good week so far! Today I have a card for this week's Lawnscaping Challenge.

The challenge for this week is to create a card inspired by a fellow crafter. I based my card on Maureen's adorable card which you can see here. Once I saw that colorful banner, I knew I wanted to make something fun with my new Lawn Fawn stamp set, Gnome Sweet Gnome. So, here is my card:


Hehe! I think it's cute! I used color pencils to color everything and some images are attached with foam tape (my favorite!).

Oh, and do the bows on the banner look familiar? They're off of the mobile from Lawn Fawn's Plus One set! They were perfect for a banner!

I am also entering this card into Paper Crafts monthly gallery challenge which was to make a card with bands of colors. Thanks for stopping by!

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #45

Good evening! I'm back with a card for this week's CAS-ual Friday Challenge! The challenge was to create a card using pastel colors and black. I immediately thought of a rainbow, so I made this card:


To make the rainbow, I arced a border stamp onto my stamp block! It worked great! I also added a little bit of glitter to the tops of the clouds and adhered them with foam tape to give them some more dimension. I like how they turned out!

I am also entering this card into Paper Crafts monthly gallery challenge. Their challenge is to make a card with bands of color. What's better than a rainbow!

Lawnscaping Challenge #29 Part 2

Hello again! I have another card to share with you for the Lawnscaping Challenge. Again, here is the sketch for the week:


And here is my second card:


I recently received the new Lawn Fawn stamp set "Gnome Sweet Gnome" and let me tell you, it's adorable! I'm sure you will see some more cards from that set. Well, thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the beautiful weather today!

Lawnscaping Challenge #29

Good morning everyone! I have two cards to share with you today! I made both of these cards for the Lawnscaping Challenge this week. The challenge was to create a card based on this sketch:


I used the sketch to make a birthday card!


I know of so many birthdays in March and April, so I need to get the ball rolling on birthday cards. I think this is a good start! It's hard to see in the picture, but I used a glossy accent on the icing to make it look like sticky, gooey icing. And I used dimensional tape on the cake and hearts.

Here is a close up on the cake:
