Feel Better Soon!

Hi everyone! I hope that you're enjoying your summer so far! Since my husband is a teacher, he has been able to spend a lot of time with me and the little one. We've been having so much fun hanging out together everyday! :)

I have a quick card to share with you today. I made this card awhile ago for my grandma because she wasn't feel well. Thankfully, she is feeling much better now!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Get Well Soon" and "Chit Chat," as well as their coordinating dies. It is so nice to have dies to accompany the stamps - that makes it so easy!! The images are colored with Prismacolor pencils and attached with foam tape. I also tied some "Cloudy" Lawn Trimmings around the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a nice weekend! Our town is having a huge Arts Festival this weekend so we will spend some time looking at all of the crazy arts that they have for sale! There are always so many neat items!

Lawnscaping #85 - Color Combo

Hi everyone! Did you have a nice fourth of July? I hope that you were able to spend some time with family and watch fireworks! This was the first time that the little one watched fireworks and she wasn't too sure about them at first! She was so tired and when they started to go off, she started screaming! But she finally started to calm down and enjoyed watching the bright lights! :)

So, today we have a new Lawnscaping Challenge! The current challenge is to use the three colors to inspire your card. Here is the card that I made using those three colors (blue, yellow, and orange):

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Party Banner," "Scripty Thanks," and "Hearts" dies, as well as "Smitty's ABCs" and "Winter Gifts." I have also used patterned paper from "Let's Polka" and "Into the Woods." I adhered the thanks and the banner to the card with foam dimension tape. Then, I tied a white ribbon to the top of the banner!

The sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp and the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate! Woo hoo!!

Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you make for the challenge! :)

Birthday Fishes

 Hello everyone! I hope that you are enjoying your summer so far! It has been getting so hot here! The little one and I might get the kiddie pool out tomorrow so that we can go for a "swim!" :)

 I haven't shared a card with you for a while because our summer has been so busy! But, I wanted to share this cute card that I made a while ago for a friends birthday:

 This card features Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Party Banner" die, "Critters in the Sea" and "Year Two" stamps, and cloudy Lawn Trimmings. I colored the critters with Prismacolor pencils and added some white dots with my new white paint pen (it is so much fun!). The air bubbles are also coated with some glossy accents!

I also wanted to let you all know that there is a Design Team call for the Lawnscaping Facebook Inspiration Team (FIT for short!!). If you're interested in being a part of an awesome team of girls, then you should definitely apply! The DT call is only open until July 4th, so don't wait!! To apply, click on the picture below! :)

Have a good week! I hope that you all have a safe and happy 4th of July! :)

Lawnscaping #84 - Stars And/Or Stripes

 Hello everyone! It has been so long since I have shared a card with you! I unfortnately missed the last Lawnscaping Challenge because I came down with a stomach bug (yuck!). And since then, our little girl has been teething (poor kid!). So, I've had my hands full!

 But thankful I was able to participate in this weeks Lawnscaping challenge (and you should, too!!). This weeks challenge is to create a project with stars and/or stripes.

I chose to use stars in my project. A friend is having a baby girl soon, so I made this baby card for her:

 This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die, "Riley's ABCs," "Blue Skies," "Love You S'more," and "Plus One" stamp sets. I colored the letters, moon, and stars with Prismacolor pencils (I just got them for my birthday and they are so much fun!). I added a coat of stickes to the top of the stars to give them some shine. The letters, moon, and some of the stars are attached with foam tape!

Well, thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge! The winner will receive a free stamp set of their choice from Lawn Fawn! :)

Lawnscaping #82 - Distress Mania

 Hello! I hope that everyone had a good weekend! Our community had yard sales this weekend, so my husband and I walked around and found a few good deals! We got some new shoes, baby clothes, and our favorite, a new vacuum! We're excited about that one! :)

Anyways, it is time again for a new Lawnscaping Challenge - Distress Mania!

 You can use distress markers or inks, distress the edges of paper, or just do anything that will give your project a distressed look! For my card, I decided to use some inks to make a distressed ocean scene!

I used the "Stitched Scalloped Border" dies to create a mask that I used to create the ocean waves! I masked the bottom wave first and used my darkest shade of blue, then I did the same with the other two waves but using lighter shades of blue. I cut out the whale and fishes from the "Critters in the Sea" and gave the dad a hat from the "Hats Off to You" stamp set. The sentiments are from "Milo's ABCs" stamp set and "Cole's ABCs" dies.

Don't forget to play along because the winner will receive a stamp set of their choice from Lawn Fawn (and they're coming out with some super cute sets on May 22nd!!)

Well, thanks for stopping by! Have a great week! :)

Washi Tape Cards

 Hello! I have a few cards to share with you for the current Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Competition! The competition sounds like such a unique and fun challenge that I had to play along. I was able to make two cards to submit for the competition. Here is the first card:

To create this card, I cut various colors and styles of washi tape into 1/2 inch squares and then cut them in half to form triangles. Then, I used a ruler to help keep everything straight, and arranged the triangles on the card base to create a fun pattern. Some of the rows aren't super straight, but I still like it! I wanted the sentiment to stand out against the colorful background, so I added some black stickers from American Crafts.

The next card is just as colorful, but this time I used a bunch of stars!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Year Two" stamp set and "Stitched Jounraling Card" die for the stars. I die cut stripes of washi tape to make a bunch of star "stickers" that I arranged onto the card base. Again, I used black ink to help make the sentiment stand out!

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

Happy Mother's Day!

 Happy Mother's Day! I have a few Mother's Day cards to share with you this morning! :)

For my first card, I used a Halloween set to create a card for moms! It's fun to try and stretch your stamp supplies for different occasions!

 This card features Lawn Fawn's "Critters in Costume" and "Quinn's ABCs" stamp sets, as well as "Quinn's ABCs" dies. Since this is a Mother's Day card, I gave the owl a pink cape and mask (and I even added some sparkle to the cape!).

For my next card, I created a bouquet of flowers! What mom doesn't enjoy receiving flowers on Mother's Day (or any other day...)?!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Our Friendship Grows" and "Happy Everything" stamp sets, as well as some gold sparkle twine. I attached the flowers with a bunch of foam tape to give them a lot of dimension!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a nice weekend! :)
