Embroidered Hello and Year Seven (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

I totally flaked out on my post yesterday so you're getting double doses of Lawn Fawn this morning:

First up, the design team is showing off Lawn Fawn's 7th birthday set! Wowza! I'm so thrilled to be a part of this company for the last few years, and to help celebrate 7 is so great.



I rubbed some blue ink into the center of my focal panel, and added all of the Year Seven images right in there.  For the sentiment, I reached for another set, Happy Happy Happy.  This is a quick and easy card, but so bright and cheery.

My next card took a little longer to put together:



I had a hard time photographing this card, but in real life it is so sweet and pretty. I did some ink rubbing again, in a soft pink and did the embroidering in the middle of that inked oval.



I mixed images from Fairy Friends, Hello Baby and Joy to the Woods.

I hope you like them! Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn woodland party

Hey there!

I created some decorations for my niece's 1st birthday party. I'm kicking myself that I forgot to get any pictures of the actual party, but I set up a little something at home beforehand to show you the decorations for Leah's big day:

I {heart} stamping. I don't care how many dies there are on the market (and I do love and use them!) but I adore taking stamps to ink to create something one-of-a-kind. The best way to make something uniquely special, in my opinion, is to mix and match stamp sets.

Here, I've used Mom + Me, Gleeful Gardens, Hello Baby, and Party Animal to create this cute woodland scene.



My jumping-off point was the table sign I created. I originally meant it to be Leah's 1st birthday card, but one phone call from my sister changed things a little bit. ha. I used this sign as the foundation for the rest of the decor.

Once the theme was decided, it was easier to create little cupcake toppers and the cake flag. Don't you think? Once the main idea is set, everything else starts free-flowing. I used the same images and ideas, and just kept making little variations.

The bunny with the fork in his hands kills me. I love him.



I used the scalloped cupcake wrapper die for the simple grocery store cupcakes (gasp! I'm trying to watch my sugar intake, so this was the easiest way for me to resist the extra calories, hee hee.)

The red and white stripes on the party hats spilled over to the treat bags (bag, I should say. I only ended up making one because I found out there weren't any favors being handed out. Except doggy bags of MEAT. no joke. I left the party with a steak, some chicken steak and a few chicken drumsticks. best favor ever.)



I hope you like the woodland themed party I crafted with Lawn Fawn supplies! Thanks for stopping by!

hello baby {lawn fawn inspiration week}

Welcome back to another day of lawn fawn inspiration!

Today, the "hello baby" showcase. When I saw this set, I was smitten.  It's such a different look for lawn fawn (dare I say, the tiniest bit vintage looking?) with the critters looking like they came out of a children's storybook.



I came up with a baby shower card, all soft and pretty, to match what I see in the images.

I watercolored the pink stripes on the background panel, using a wide brush and Sofia's cheap watercolor set.  No fuss, no muss.  I then used the no-line coloring technique on the bunny and the umbrella.  The polka dots were created by dabbing the colorless copic marker over the burnt yellow of the umbrella.



At the end of it all, I dotted a darker brown eye on the bunny with a fine-tipped marker and added some glitter-pen detail to the raindrops.

I hope you like it!
