Spectacular Skies with Just Dies

Hi friends, I have a card featured at the Lawn Fawnatics challenge blog today! The challenge theme is Spectacular Skies and I wanted to make a card with only dies.

Check out the supply list for all the die sets I combined. I die cut most of the images from Bristol cardstock and I colored them with Copic markers. The palm tree trunk is cut from Woodgrain cardstock and the cloud from white cardstock. I also used some silver glitter cardstock behind the raindrops.

Lawn Fawn's Swan Soirée!

Today Lawn Fawn is showcasing the new stamp set Swan Soirée from their Spring 2020 Release! I used this beautiful new set to make a birthday card for my sister!

 I added a bit of ink blending to create a simple background for the sweet images from Swan Soirée! I stamped the pond from the set in the new Kiddie Pool ink, it's such a pretty shade of aqua!

 I used Bunting Borders, cut from Pixie Dust Sparkle cardstock to add some interest to the top of the card. The sentiment was heat embossed in silver to balance the sparkle of the banners.

I finished the birthday sentiment on the inside in pretty purple ink and included another sweet little lotus flower!

A Cheerful Birthday Card!

Time is flying by so fast! I can't believe that I made this birthday card to celebrate the ninth birthday of my great-niece, Reece! Click here to see a scrapbook page I made for her mom when she was just a baby. Seems like yesterday!

I used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Flower Frame die set to make this happy flower. I die cut it from the new Spring Fling papers and added a Stitched Scalloped Frame in the multi-color pattern. The blue striped paper in the background is from the original Really Rainbow 6x6 paper pack that is no longer available in 6x6 but you can still get the 12x12 paper.

The birthday greeting is from Wavy Sayings and it's stamped on a Fancy Wavy Banner in Peacock ink.

What's for Dinner? with Lawn Fawn!

It's been a long while (yet again) in between posts. I really need to pay some attention to my little corner of the web. I have a card today that uses Lawn Fawn's newest planner set, Plan on It: Meal Planning! It's featured today at the Lawn Fawn blog for Inspiration Week!

I used the tiny icons and words to create a border on the top and bottom of the panel. I set it up in a Mini MISTI so I could stamp it twice. The first time I stamped with Black Licorice ink.  Then I used Lawn Fawn ink in Minty Fresh, Fresh Lavender, Merman, Peachy Keen, Apricot, Moonstone, Butter, Sage Leaf and Celery Stick to add color to the icons using a small Picket Fence Life Changing Brush.

After I added the color, I returned the panel to the MISTI and inked up the stamps with clear embossing ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. This gives the stamping a cool, glossy look!

To finish the card (which I'm thinking I'll use to invite friends over for dinner) I die cut letters with Cole's ABCs from Sage Leaf cardstock. I used Lawn Fawn's Glue Tube to adhere the letters and this quick and fun card was done!

Color Inspiration Challenge at Lawn Fawnatics: Beach Shack Treat Box!

It's been a long time since I've had the opportunity to make a project for Lawn Fawnatics! I've been pretty busy behind the scenes but I was determined to make something for the Color Inspiration Challenge that starts today. I was inspired by the green and blue colors and the fun ocean wave/beach image!

The new Scalloped Treat Box Dog House Add-On has some great dies for adding siding to the Scalloped Treat Box so I cut it from Moonstone and Cilantro cardstock and applied it in a striped pattern. It reminded me of a fun island beach shack so I went with the idea!

I added the door and windows from the Spring House Add-On. I used Vanilla Malt cardstock that I had die cut with Woodgrain Backdrop for a nice bit of pattern and texture. There was no stamping on this project! The banner has my own handwriting in a messy style.

I die cut palm trees and the cute little crab from the Palm Trees die set. The sun is found in Spring Showers, it was die cut from cardstock that I had cut with the Stitched Windy Backdrop. The banner is found in the Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-On die set!

Lawn Fawn Scalloped Treat Box Dog House Add-On

Lawn Fawn's June Inspiration Week continues today with the intro to Scalloped Box Dog House Add-On! I made a sweet little box, coloring the cute dog to look like my little angel dog, Tia! It's been almost 2 years since she crossed the rainbow bridge, I miss her still.

I die cut Vanilla Malt cardstock with Woodgrain Backdrop then cut the panels for my box. I added some ink with Antique Linen Distress ink and assembled the box. I added just some quick Copic coloring to the dog in Tia's tricolor pattern.

I hope you are all enjoying this Inspiration Week and entering the daily giveaways at the Lawn Fawn blog!

You Are So Cool!

Has it really been 6 months since I've posted anything? I'm still here, still busy with all the behind the scenes things I do for Lawn Fawn! It's June Inspiration Week and I finally made a card, woohoo!

I used Lawn Fawn's new I Scream, You Scream die set to make these super cute and totally cool popsicles! They are die cut from Really Rainbow 6x6 paper. I added a Stitched Rectangle Frame in Cilantro cardstock and a curved banner from Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-On in Sugarplum. To make the greeting for my super cool grandson I combined a sentiment from Simply Sentiments and die cut letters from Quinn's Capital ABCs in Black Licorice cardstock! The card base is Birthday Candles from Watercolor Wishes!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 9 - Color Inspiration Board

There's a new challenge at Lawn Fawnatics! It's all about bright summery color with a Color Inspiration Board.

I was inspired by the happy colors and those bright flip flops to make my beach-themed card!

I stamped some images from Life is Good with Memento Desert Sand ink and used Copic markers to add some coloring with a no-line look. I used Lawn Fawn Merman and Peacock inks to create the sky and sea and an Outside In Stitched Circle for the window. The Palm Tree was colored using a finger dauber with Jalapeño and Doe ink by Lawn Fawn.

I hope you'll join the fun at Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 9!

Summertime Fun with Lawn Fawnatics!

I hope you are all enjoying this sunny summer! At Lawn Fawnatics the new challenge theme is Summertime Fun! Here's your chance to show us what summer means to you! I hope you will join us!

I always love to be at the beach (anytime of year, but especially on sunny summer days)! I made a CAS card with minimal stamping to represent my love for all things beachy!

I used Louie's ABCs to die cut the letters to spell out beach and then I added beachy colors to the letters using Copic markers (E33, 31; BG09,18,02,01). I colored the sun from Spring Showers with Copics (YR31) as well. I added a little sentiment with Smitty's ABCs in Peacock ink.

The images were stamped with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copic markers. The tissue box was paper-pieced using a scrap of Perfectly Plaid Rainbow paper.

A Cute and Feminine Graduation Card

My niece is graduating from high school next month so I made a card for her using her school colors!

 I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to create a circular sky and then overstamped to text in Moonstone ink.

I added the cute and feminine details using Valentine Borders and Stitched Borders. Not to mention the cute smiley faces on the clouds!

  To add a gift card to the inside I used Lift the Flap. The sentiment is stamped with Noble Fir ink and Scripty Congrats is die cut from Shooting Star Watercolor Wishes paper.

This card is featured on the Lawn Fawn blog today! You'll find a supply list there :)

New Lawn Fawn!! Upon a Star and Stitched Fireworks

It's Lawn Fawn's Summer 2017 Inspiration and Release Week and they are rolling out some pretty awesome and innovative stuff! And as always they have amazing Design Team samples, great Intro Videos and lots of daily giveaways along with the Big Giveaway! Visit the Lawn Fawn blog today! The new products will be released on May 18th!!

I had a chance to play with the adorable new Upon a Star stamp set and combined it with the fabulous new Stitched Fireworks Lawn Cuts die. I used Lawn Fawn inks in Peacock, Plastic Flamingo, Sugarplum, Sunflower and Freshly Cut Grass along with Black Soot Distress ink and Delicata Golden Glitz to create the colorful background.

I stamped the woodland critters in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and used Copic markers to color them, adding a highlight to their heads to look like the glow of the fireworks.

 I sprayed a glitter spritz on the background for a bit of shine!

The caption was created using  a speech bubble from A Birdie Told Me and Riley's ABCs.
