Sunny Studio Stamp Rain or Shine

Hi there! I hope that things are going well with you! It has finally started to feel like winter here. We had our first snow accumulation on Tuesday. Brr! The schools even had an early dismissal because the roads were starting to get pretty slippery. I don't mind the snow as long as I am watching it from inside my warm house! :)

Anyways, this is the perfect card to share with you this morning because it reminds me that spring will be here soon!


This colorful card features one of Sunny Studio Stamp's newest stamp set, Rain or Shine! This set is so cute and is perfect for creating cards for the spring! I started by stamping the rainbow and clouds onto white card stock, coloring them with Prismacolor pencils, and die cutting them with the coordinating dies.

I also added a smiley face onto the clouds from one of Lawn Fawn's stamp sets, but you could easily draw on the smiley face with a black marker. The clouds and rainbow are attached with foam tape, and then I stamped the hearts and sentiment.

To finish the card, I added a colorful border cut from Lawn Fawn's Stitched Scalloped Border dies. That colorful patterned paper that I found in my stash is perfect for this rainbow card! :)


Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your week! I'm hoping that this snow goes away soon, but I think it's going to be here for a while now!

Love Ya Watts & Watts

Good morning! I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend! My daughter and I are getting over a cold so we spent most the weekend on the couch with tissues and movies. Hopefully our colds will go away soon!

This morning, I have a card to share with you that is being featured on the Lawn Fawn blog this morning!


This card features Lawn Fawn's "Turn Me On" stamp and die, as well as "Flirty Frames" stamp set (for the love ya), "Riley's ABCs," "Wild Rose" ink, and Sweetheart Lawn Trimmings. My husband used to tell me a joke about light bulbs, and I have no idea what the joke was, but the punchline was "love ya watts and watts," so I knew that would make a great card with this light bulb set!

This is also my first card that I have used Copic markers on! I bought a few yellow Copics to practice coloring with and to see if I liked them, and I am definitely hooked! I can't wait to get some more colors. Any suggestions on which colors I should get next? Anyways, here is a close up on the card:


Thanks for stopping by today, and thank you Kelly Marie for featuring this card on the Lawn Fawn blog!! Did you see the new products that Lawn Fawn will be releasing in February?! Every thing is so cute and I can't wait for everything to be available! Yay!

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

Lawnscaping #121 - Winter Wonderland

Hello and Happy New Year! I can't believe that 2015 is already over - that year went by fast! But, I am really looking forward to this year and to some new and exciting things that are happening with my family! :)

Anyways, it's time for the first Lawnscaping Challenge of the year! Yay! The challenge is to create a winter-themed project. We had a few snow flurries this week, but we haven't had any snow accumulation in central PA yet. I'm not looking forward to the snow!


Here is the card that I created for this challenge:


This card features Lawn Fawn's "Critters in the Arctic," "Love You S'more" (for the moon), "Baaah Humbug" (for the bow and present), and "Winter Gifts" (for the sentiment). I also used some patterned paper from American Crafts "Everyday" paper pack. I saw it recently at Target and it was just so cute that I had to get it!

I mirrored stamped the bunny on the left so that the bunnies were looking at each other. I had to trace the outline of the bunny because it didn't stamp very dark, so that's why he looks kind of funny. Oh well, I think it still turned out cute!


I hope that you're able to play along with this first challenge of the year! The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate from Ellen Hutson!


Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create! :)

Merry Christmas!

"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and  placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." - Matthew 2:4-7

Merry Christmas everyone! I have a card to share with you this morning that perfectly sums up the Christmas season:


This card features a free digital stamp by the talented Elena! You can find the image here! It's perfect for Christmas and I made quite a few of these cards to hand out this year. I downloaded the image and printed the images onto card stock (4 images per page) and used Lawn Fawn's "Scalloped  Rectangle Stackables" die to cut them out before mounting them to a card base. Here is a different version with a little bit less coloring (much quicker to color!) :)


This might be the image that I use for all of my Christmas cards next year! :)

I am so thankful that God sent his Son for us on Christmas morning! What an awesome example of love! I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas this year and that we all strive to keep Jesus the center of this Christmas season!

Sending You Love Tag

Hello again! I'm back again today to share a Christmas tag that I created for the current AEIHeartUChallenge!


The challenge is to use "metallics" in your project. I was looking through my paper stash, and I found some shiny paper that looks like gold! Perfect for this challenge! :)


This tag features Avery Elle's "Peonies" stamp set and "Simply Said: You" die. The tag is die cut from Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Circle Tags." I also added black ribbon to the tag, and some black enamel dots on the tag and sentiment. Here is a close up of the tag:


This will look so cute on my Christmas gifts this year!

Thanks for stopping by and have a Merry Christmas eve! :)

Birthday Balloons!

Hello! Merry Christmas Eve! I have a cute birthday card to share with you that features Sunny Studio Stamp's "Birthday Smiles" stamp set! This is one of my favorite sets, so I wanted to use those big balloons to make a colorful birthday card!


I stamped the balloons in Lawn Fawn's "Wild Rose," and "Mermaid" inks, and Hero Arts "Butter Bar" ink. I added a few small hearts around the balloons with some grey ink, and stamped the sentiment in black. The sentiment is actually a combination of two sentiments included in this set! I finished the card by adding some colorful Lawn Trimmings to the top! Here is a close up on the balloons:


They look so neat with the overlapping colors! I also used a white gel pen to add some details to the balloons!

Well, thanks for stopping by! We have our candlelight Christmas eve service at church tonight! Tomorrow we'll be traveling all over PA visiting family and friends! It's such a busy, but wonderful time of the year! :)
