Lawn Fawn Sweet Wishes Deer Party Animal Note Card

I have finally moved, unpacked and organized (sort of) my craft area.  YAY!  So I set about to use one of my new Lawn Fawn stamps ~ Party Animals!

Using the Butternut 4bar note card, I used the stitched rectangle dies, along with the puffy clouds, and stitched hillsides to make the scene for my little deer (moose?) critter.  He looked a little lonely, so I thought a tiny mushroom from the Gleeful Gardens stamp set would work great, along with a leaf from Critters From The Past. The sentiment was from Milk & Cookies; I thought it was perfect for this layout.

 

Here is my card:

Graphic 45 Guilded Lily Mixed Media Journal Scrapbook Album

I recently attended the CHA Paper + Arts expo in Shaumberg Illinois just over a week ago as part of the Scrapbooks By Design team. It was a great experience and I got to see a LOT of sneak peaks from brands like Sizzix, Penny Black and Echo Park!

At the expo I had an opportunity to attend a workshop hosted by the Graphic 45 team to create a mixed media album using the Guilded Lily collection.  The workshop kit included everything I needed to make the gorgeous album, and it was surprisingly easy to make too! As my reader know, I tend to lean towards the ‘cuter’ side of things, with Lawn Fawn etc, so I didn’t think I was capable of making something so lovely.  The Graphic 45 design team created a beautiful project, which I created as a Scrapbooks By Design design team member.

Here is a peek at the album cover – if you would like to see the complete project and all pages, click here:  Guilded Lily Album Full Post

Stampin Up Over The Rainbow with Sprinkles of Life

Hey a Stampers!

I’m right in the middle of a move, so all my crafty stuff is still on the truck on tie way to Montreal from Vancouver. While I am waiting for all my goodies to arrive, I had a chance to use my new catalog stamps from the just revealed Stampin Up catalog. My good friend Emily graciously shared her craft room with me so that I could get back to what I love: paper crafting 💕

For this card, I used the Over The Rainbow stamp set with Sprinkles of Life for the clouds.

Here is what I made:

Lawn Fawn Here’s The Scoop & Scripty Sayings Double Scoop Hello!

This has been a great summer so far – not too hot and lots of sunny days.  When Lawn Fawn revealed the Here’s The Scoop coordinating dies I just had to break out my stamp set!

I used the chocolate chip stamp from Milk & Cookies set for the chips in each of the top scoops – I just loved how it turned out too! I tried a few other methods to get sprinkles & this was the best & the easiest 😉

Mama Elephant Ella & Friends

In the summer, going to the park, or outside anywhere in general to blow bubbles is my favorite thing to do. So when I saw this super cute Ella & Friends stamp set from Mama Elephant I knew I had to have it!

I created this card specifically for a good friend of mine who was going through a difficult time – and I included a coffee card inside as a little treat for her.

Here is my card:

To create the grass & sky scene, I first created masks for all of the images, including the bubbles! It was easy to do with plain post-it notes.  I just stamped the images and cut them out and placed the post-it over top of the colored images.  I used the foam blending tool to blend shabby shutters & mowed lawn for the grass, and broken china with tumbled glass for the sky.  To make the clouds, I used a die cut of the balloons from the Up & Away creative cuts as a mask while I was blending in the two blue inks.

Ella was colored with Spectrum Noir markets IG1, IG2 & IG3. Her little bunny helper was colored with BG2.  The bubbles turned out really well using TB1, TB2 & TB3 and topped off with a white gel pen to make the shiney pop out.

 

Lawn Fawn Make Lemonade Summer Smiles Card

With summer officially here, I was inspired to pull out my Make Lemonade mini set from Lawn Fawn. When the gingham backdrops set was released I just knew these two sets would be perfect together, so I thought I would finally try and create something.

Lawn Fawn Blue Skies Hot Air Ballons with Scripty Sayings Thinking of You Card

One of the owner’s & face of Lawn Fawn, Kelly Marie Alvarez recently revealed to us Lawn Fawn fans that she was battling long term Lyme disease.  As a person who suffers from chronic pain I can understand the rollercoaster chronic health issues can be; so I thought I would send her a card to hopefully brighten her day.

When creating the design for this card, I had recently seen the LawnScaping design team challenge for anything ‘pink’.  Anyone who knows me knows that pink has been my favorite color since forever, so I thought I would play along – here is what I came up with:

Here are some tips & tricks that you can use if you would like to make this card as well:

  • I cut an extra cloud to use as a mask to blend on the color for the sky
  • Sponge blend some pink ink on the brown polka dot paper to change the white spots to the coordinating pink
  • A glue pen worked great to apply the glitter to the outside edge of the clouds
  • Adding a sponged border of pink to the vanilla cardstock strip for the sentiment really brought the embossing sentiment out

Lawn Fawn Love You S’more Happy Birthday Bear Card

Hi Stampers!
This card I made for a girl at the office who loves bears & recently had a birthday.  I whipped this card up pretty quickly using the bear from the Love You Smores set.  I don’t have the woodgrain backdrops stamp set so I used one of the walnut note cards as the layer underneath the die cut trees.  I added a splash of color to the trees to give it some contrast, and blended in some Broken China distress ink for the sky.

The bear was colored with Spectrum Noir markers Gb10, GB 8 & EB2, I stamped & die cut the hat from Hat’s Off and colored with OR1, OR2 & CT 2.
