New Lawn Fawn - Lucky Stars

These starry sentiments are perfect for so many occasions! The fonts are fun too!

The Puffy Stars Stackables dies have a really fun shape. I used both the positive and negative die cuts for these 2 cards and a tag.

I've got some Fireworks for you tomorrow!

Happy Mother's Day

I hope everyone is enjoying a lovely day! With any luck I will be filling some terra cotta pots with pretty plants today, I don't have any plans beyond that. (big smile!)

I made a quick CAS card:

Lawn Fawn- Mother's Day and Simon Says Stamp- Flower Friend

Hero Arts inks- Soft Granite, Soft Pool

Lawn Trimmings Vivid Twine

And I made one that was a little less quick:

Lawn Fawn- Mother's Day, Blissful Botanicals, Petite Florals

Blissful Botanicals Lawn Cuts

Studio Calico - Huey's Mask Intertwined Circles

To get the pattern on the orange panel I first applied Dried Marigold Distress ink evenly over the panel. Then using the mask I sprayed with a mixture of water and Perfect Pearls powder.

Happy Mother's Day

New Lawn Fawn - Critters at the Dog Park

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this set! I love dogs and these stamps are just too adorable!
I got to play with the new Stackable Lawn Cuts dies so this card used both the Circle and the Scalloped Circle dies.

This new Critters set has coordinating dies too! I love the look of the little white border around stamped images but I just can't ever cut them out by hand clean enough. With the new dies my little dogs will always be perfectly groomed!

You will be seeing stars on Monday!

New Lawn Fawn- Blue Skies

Hot Air balloons, clouds, wonderful inspiring sentiments this set is perfect! And there's Lawn Cuts Dies to match! I had a great time playing with this set.

The balloons are so much fun to paper-piece. I used Pink Lemonade and Daphne's Closet papers and a bit of Copic coloring.

I'll be sharing Critters at the Dog Park tomorrow! It seems appropriate since I will be dog-sitting for the famous Miss Daphne, herself.

New Lawn Fawn - A Good Apple

I just love this set! A Good Apple has images that are perfect for a teacher but I think the creativity with this set will go beyond the classroom!

I made this card to be displayed at Stamp Fever and it's based on a sample card I designed for Lawn Fawn to send to retail stores. I just love the fun little accessory images and that little strip of Dewey Decimal paper!

My son Ben's brand new fiancee (!!!) Mary is receiving her Master's Degree in Reading Education this month. I'm thinking this set will make a perfect card to congratulate her on this amazing achievement!

The newly engaged couple!

Tomorrow I'll be sharing Blue Skies!

Fun Dad's Day Card for my Doctor Who fan!

I'm trying to get ahead of my cardmaking (totally new concept for me, usually I'm making a card while Al is waiting in the car). My sweet hubby is a Doctor Who fan to which he will respond "Who isn't?" I quoted a memorable scene from a previous season on his Dad's Day card using Lawn Fawn stamps.

The chair (stamped in Tardis blue), bow tie and sentiment are from Dad's Day; the TV is from Stay Tuned and the banner is from Bannerific. I used the coordinating die for the banner too, so convenient!  The quotes were computer generated; I found the scene from the show and the picture of the fez in Google.

I also used the brand new Lawn Cuts Dies- Circle Stackables! These are just the best circle dies, they are being released tonight on the Lawn Fawn store! (Stamp Fever will have them and all of the new release stamps and dies on the shelves tomorrow)

I'll have some fun new Lawn Fawn projects popping up in the next few days!

marti+tia: puppy friends

Oh, criminy pete has it been almost a month since my last post? Where does the time go?

So if anyone is still out there I have a little something for you today. I've been doing some dog-sitting for my son, Ben. His little dog Marti is just the sweetest most affable pup, we love having her here. Well everyone but our little spoiled princess, Tia. The Digster is friends with everyone so he and Marti have been friends since before they met!

Well our little ice-princess had a change of heart; she and Marti forged a cute friendship in the last couple of days.

yep, Marti was here first and Tia snuggled up to her....
ahh, there's hope for my snarky little pup after all!

So this next photo was one of those miracle shots, I caught them in the split second before they both ran to greet my hubs.

I thought it would be fun to make a little keepsake to give to Ben and Mary when they came by to pick up our grand-dog. I decided on an easel/photo card so they could display the sweet pic.

Here are the stamps and dies I used:

Stay tuned, I will finally get to post some new Lawn Fawn projects that I've been keeping under wraps until their big release on May 9th!
