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 Baked With Love Lawnscaping Challenge

I have been a fan of Lawn Fawn for many, many years but I have never had the confidence to enter a challenge with my work.
So I figured now was as good as time as any to get started! After all, practice makes perfect right?

The Lawnscaping challenge is “dimension”:  I chose Baked With Love as my primary set for my card. It took me quite a few tries to get it just as I envisioned in my head.

The scripty hugs was die cut from glitter fun foam, which I have been using a lot of lately 😛  See end of post for full list of supplies used.

I appreciate and welcome comments – thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens with Spectrum Noir Markers

The latest from the Lawn Fawn release, Gleeful Gardens goes so well with the new Gingham Backdrops stamp set.  It took me a few tries to get the gingham to stamp in alignment all the way across, so I just fudged it and cut a strip of the best stamped part 😛  That worked out well in the long run as it inspired me to come up with this card.  The snail is super cute and I love how the daisy flower just automatically inspires sunshiny feelings!

All colored with Spectrum Noir markers this card took less than 20 minutes from start to finish to make – so I suspect I will be making a few more to keep on hand.

Lawn Fawn Beep Boop & Spectrum Noir Markers

I have been really getting the hang of my new Spectrum Noir markers and I have wanted to make a card for a male friend who lives across the country. He loves robots so I knew that Lawn Fawn’s Beep Boop set for a thank you card.

Here is the finished card:

Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine with Spectrum Noir Markers

It’s been absolutely gorgeous in Vancouver this winter, temperatures hovering around 10 degrees since January while the rest of east coast has been getting tortured with insane amounts of snow and crazy cold temperatures!

That is what inspired me to make this card from Lawn Fawn, using their Hello Sunshine stamps & coordinating dies.  I have been coloring with my Spectrum Noir markers and I have been really starting to get the hang of it. While I still have tons to learn, I was happy with the way these little tweety birds turned out so I knew I had to use them on a card right away!

Lawn Fawn Stinkin Cute Skunk 4bar Note Card

How many times have you heard “that’s so stinkin cute”? Well, now there’s a stamp for that!! Lawn Fawn had released this exclusive stamp as a free gift with purchase for Black Friday, but I am sure it will be available in stores soon (they did the same thing with the ‘You Color My World’ stamp set a few years ago too)

This little mini set truly is ‘stinkin cute’!  The card I created could be used for Valentine’s Day, or just for a general everyday just because card.

Here is what I used to make this card:

Lawn Fawn

  • Stinkin Cute mini stamp set
  • Large & Small Stitched Ovals dies
  • Journaling card die (strip of hearts)
  • Let’s Polka In The Dar 6×6 paper pad
  • Lobster dye ink pad

Cupcake earrings gift & card in one!

Card making is admittedly, not my only crafting endeavor… I also have a jewelry business Miss Kitty Creations.  I create tiny *scented* (yes, scented) mini faux food jewelry.  I make waffles, cakes, pies, cupcakes and seasonal pieces like shortbread Christmas tree earrings.  And they ALL smell exactly as they should: pumpkin pie smells just like pumpkin pie, and the cupcakes are to die for scented to match the icing.

Here are some examples of what I make:

When I discovered Lawn Fawn I just knew I needed to find a way to use their adorable items with my jewelry.  And I finally came up with something:  card and gift in one!! These cards have a trap door that allows the recipient to get their jewelry out of the card without having to destroy the card.
