My partner’s niece was having her baby shower this weekend and I wanted to create a card for her.
The gender is a surprise so I needed something gender neutral – pale yellow is always a perfect choice!
Paired with some punched dots in champagne gold, I wanted to keep it nice and simple.
The inside stacked sentiment is from My Favorite Things All-Occasion Scripted Greetings and added just enough to the inside while still leaving lots of room for a personal message.
I had cut a few extra pieces from my first Zesty Lemon card, so I thought I would create this card based on a card Chari Moss created for Lawn Fawn’s release of the set recently.
I didn’t have the dies to create the stripes so I used what I had in my stash. The Pink Fresh sentiment in gold hot foiled on white card stock gave it a classic look that could be given to anyone (even our favourite guy). Using the same buttercup yellow glitter paper I created just the slightest drop shadow for the hot fouled sentiment that gave it that extra subtle pop.
Well hello Sunshine!! Summer is here and I just could not wait to dig into the Lawn Fawn Zesty Lemon die set!
So easy to use, just a two shades of card stock for each fruit, adding a bit of super easy inking with daubers gives each piece so much more dimension and fun. And of course I had to add glitter!! So a hint of buttercup yellow glitter paper behind Lawn fawn’s new Gotta Have Gingham pattern paper was just what the card needed to add that final touch.
Autumn is wrapping up & Old Man Winter is rapidly approaching – what better time to create this card using Prima’s Autumn Sunset collection.
I used the 6×6 paper pad, along with the chipboard & ephemera pack to create this card, along with Lawn Fawn’s stitched leaves dies that I inked with Distress Inks to create the accents. The tiny metal acorns I found at a local store and finally got to use them; attached with hemp twine.
I am over the moon to be the first guest designer on the Lawn Fawnatics challenge blog, hosted by Lawn Fawn! The current challenge theme is “Summertime Fun”; and what says summer more than a bright warm sun and sandy beaches?! This flamingo was perfect to set my scene, and the palm trees from Critters From the Past stamp set were perfect accents for my sandy beach.

Everyone who knows me, knows my absolute favorite stamp company is, and has been for many many years: Lawn Fawn. When I saw that Lawn Fawn had created a new challenge blog, called Lawn Fawnatics, I knew I had to play along! Their first challenge theme is: Birthday. Since it coincided with their 7 year birthday it was a perfect match.
Here is my card I made – all supplies I used can be found at the end of post.

It’s always a happy day in my house when I get new orders, especially when it’s new LAWN FAWN! This recent release included some new colors to Lawn Fawn’s dye ink pad family – there are now 27 colors in the collection, with a few more expected to be added throughout this year. (YAY!)
I have created swatches of all of the colors, and have shown each of the new colors in a group with similar inks from previous releases so you can see how they coordinate together. In this new collection release, Lawn Fawn added:
Here are my swatches – the full collection, and then each of the new colors with their color families.

When I saw the project that Jennifer McGuire did using these Paper Smooches dies I knew I had to make them too! With Valentine’s Day coming up, I was inspired to take her project and run with it – and that’s when I came up with making the tag in to a pouch! While Jennifer’s project was super cute with the Burt’s Bees, I had just recently done a project with chapstick, so I decided to put lollipops in the pouch; but you could put anything you wanted in there :). Die cutting fun foam was much easier than I thought, and I only needed to run the foam through my big shot once and it cut through perfectly. I also decided to use the heart outlines that I got when I die cut the red foam to fill on some of the space on the front of the tag. I just used my paper snips and trimmed off the top part of the heart & adhered them down with the matte medium. Having the precision tip applicator bottle made it much easier to apply the adhesive where I wanted it and not get my project all goopy. When I went to choose a sentiment, I knew the Bee Mine stamp set from Lawn Fawn was a perfect addition for the pouches.
Once I had created the front of the tag, I die cut another tag and adhered it to the back with a strip of Scor-tape. I decided that tape would be best rather than liquid glue as I needed something strong since there wasn’t a lot of room to put glue so as not to interfere with the size of the pocket too much. If you don’t have scor-tape at home then you could use liquid glue, like TomBow – just make sure you give the project ample time to completely dry.
Here is a picture of how I applied the tape to allow for enough room inside the pouch. You could stamp a To / From stamp on the backside of the pocket, write a personalized note or just leave it blank.
Once I had everything assembled, I decided to add some Wink Of Stella to the hearts, because you know – a little glitter is always better 😛
Here are the finished projects – to see a full tutorial on how to create the front portion of the tag, you can check out Jennifer’s video here. There is also a full supply list below if you would like to make these yourself at home ❤

When I first saw Tim Holtz Crazy Birds, I knew they would be pretty much perfect for anything watercolor. So, when I first got my Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush pens I thought I would have a go at coloring those awesome crazy birds.
My first attempt stunk. Like really not good. So I put them aside a little frustrated at having investing in them and stinking at it, until recently when I visited my local craft store I was shown how much of a difference it makes to use proper watercolor paper (Thanks Natalie)! This is the Strathmore cold press watercolor paper and it really makes a huge difference in the performance of the pens when watercoloring! If you ever find that you are not getting great results from your pens, try investing in some good quality watercolor paper, Strathmore cold press can be inexpensive with a coupon from Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Joann’s, but the Tim Holtz watercolor paper is by far the best choice for card makers: it has the best smooth finish and is the lightest weight (thin) but still gives great watercolor performance.
