Introducing Lawn Fawnatics!

I am so happy to announce that Lawn Fawn has started a fun new challenge blog! It's called Lawn Fawnatics and we will have a new challenge twice monthly. Today is our very first challenge and since we are celebrating Lawn Fawn's 7th birthday this month we have a Birthday theme!

You will find the new blog and the first challenge HERE 

Every month we will randomly choose a winner from the challenge entries to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to use at lawnfawn.com and we will feature some of the challenge entries on the blog as well. I hope you will join in the fun as we build a creative and supportive community of Lawn Fawn fans!

I made a card for the occasion using Hang in There. I love this set; I've always joked that the sloth is my son Ben's spirit animal (he would agree!). So for his upcoming birthday this set was the perfect choice.

Hang in There, Happy Happy Happy, Leafy Tree Backdrop

I hope you will check out the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog and meet our awesome Design Team!

Raccoon Birthday Card

My grandson, Julian turns 6 this month so a special birthday card was a necessity. What's more special than a cute raccoon who just happens to be the newest member of Lawn Fawn's Party Animals! I also used lots of Lawn Fawn ink and the Let's Bokeh stamp set!

Six candles for a sixth birthday! These puffy candle stickers have been in my crafty stash since the Reagan administration but they were perfect for the inside of the card. I'm so glad they have survived multiple stash purges over the years.

A Birthday Card for a Super Boy!

My adorable grandson Uriah celebrated his 4th birthday last month with a fun trip to Lego Land! He's my super little boy who loves super heroes so I made a super birthday card using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies!

 I did the fun watercolor ink "smooshing"  with Tumbled Glass Distress ink to create a sky for the background.

I colored the super hero owl from Critters in Costume with Copics. My sentiment is Clark's ABCs and Quinn's ABCs + dies. Spring Showers dies made the cute stitched clouds. 

Today's thought is simple and truthful. It's from 1 John 4:19.

"We love Him because He first loved us."

Happy World Cardmaking Day!

I have been coloring lots of fun images using new Lawn Fawn stamps, they are so new that I can't show you yet. So for World Cardmaking Day 2015 I thought I would share a card I made for a friend's birthday using a favorite Hero Arts stamp!

 I used paper and stickers from Simple Stories Summer Vibes collection to create a fun, festive and super quick birthday card!

I stamped Birthday Blackboard with Lawn Fawn Peacock ink.

"For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent His Son into the not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him."

John 3:16-17

Happy World Cardmaking Day! Send some love to a friend today.

Lawn Fawn Stuck on You Birthday Card

I did something totally remarkable last week! I mailed my sister's birthday card on time! And she got it before her birthday; seriously patting myself on the back as I don't know if this will ever happen again.

I love Lawn Fawn's new Stuck on You set. After stamping more than 150 sample cards with it you'd think I would be so over it but I couldn't wait to ink up these cute images and make a birthday card for my sister.

The background is Lemon Polka from the Let's Polka, Mon Amie 6x6 Petite Paper pack. 

The pretty script greeting is from Scripty Sayings; I love how it fills the whole panel.

Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Stackables really give a card a finished look

 and help this hopelessly wonky crafter keep things squared up. 

I used the Stuck on You coordinating die set to pop up the tiny flowers.

I couldn't resist stamping the cute saguaro on the inside with a message from Year Three!

thanks so much!

Beep Boop Birthday Card

I was really inspired by this card by Kelly using negative die cuts with Finley's ABCs. And since I just happened to need a birthday card for a 5 year-old boy I thought I'd make a robot themed card!

Lawn Fawn Products used:

Beep Boop Birthday + coordinating dies

Finley's ABCs Lawn Cuts

Winter Penguin (happy)

Clark's ABCs

Let's Polka 6x6 paper

Thanks so much for your prayers!

Uriah is Three!

Oh my  goodness, it seems like just yesterday that Andy and Kellie were letting us know we would be grandparents and now our little boy is THREE! AND he started pre-school this week! Where does the time go? No really, where does it go?

Uriah is very much into monster trucks and Monsters, Inc so when Lawn Fawn came out with Monster Mash stamps and coordinating dies it was a no-brainer that I would use them for his birthday card. I colored those cute little monsters with colored pencils and Gamsol.

I also used Lawn Fawn's Finley's ABCs Lawn Cuts dies, Harold's ABCs and Violet's ABCs along with Simon Says Stamp Wide Stripes for the background.

inside I used Year Two, Harold's ABCs and Louie's 123s Lawn Cuts

This kid has my heart! I love his little pre-school cubby ♥

Thanks for visiting!

You can never have too many birthday cards on hand....

I've been replenishing my stock of birthday cards, playing with stamps that don't get out much!

I just love this Penny Black set called A Little Bird! I kept the card simple just stamping and coloring with a popped up birthday message.

I gave it a collage-y look by lightly stamping some pretty images from Butterfly Garden Impressions No. 14 by Pink Paislee in the background. Hero Arts layering paper and Newspaper Background make up the cardbase.

I like how girly this looks!

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Sunflower Birthday Card

September is a big birthday month in my family so I'm frantically making cards and trying not to get behind!

I love the sunflowers in the new Lawn Fawn set "Our Friendship Grows"! For this card I did some water-coloring with Distress Markers. A little bit of Wink of Stella gives the sunflowers a sparkly glow.
