LF Inspiration Week: Pretty Poppies

Hi there! I hope that your week is going well so far! It's been rainy and cloudy here. It's fun to watching the rain and look for rainbow, but I'm looking forward to some sunnier weather soon!

The Lawn Fawn inspiration week continues today with a look at the Pretty Poppies die! This die is so fun and it makes the pretties flowers (haha, hence the name!)

These flowers are cut from Guava, Cilantro, and Black Licorice cardstock. The sentiment is from the Bugs and Kisses set (love) and Happy Happy Happy set (sending), cut from Storm Cloud cardstock and die cut with the Everyday Sentiment Banners. I also used the Scalloped Rectangle dies behind the white cardstock panel.

The detail that this die adds to the flowers and leaves is so pretty! This card would be so pretty in a card set with different colored flowers, too!

Well, thanks for stopping by! Check out the other projects from the Lawn Fawn design team, and enter for your chance to win this flower die! Have a great day! :)

Lawnscaping #122 - Watercoloring

 Good morning! I hope that everyone had a nice weekend! We finally put away the Christmas decorations and put the house back in order. It's nice to have things back in place, but it always makes me sad to put away the decorations. Until next year! :)

It's time again for another Lawnscaping Challenge! The theme this week is watercoloring!

Watercoloring looks so pretty, but I'm really not that good at it, so this is the best that I could manage! I used a smoosh technique to create this multi-colored background.

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Bugs and Kisses" stamp and die, and Stitched Square Stackable dies. I started by making the watercolored background and once it was dry, I used the square dies to cut it out. I also used two of the square dies together to make the white frame around the images. The images are all colored with Prismacolor pencils and attached with foam tape. Here is a close up on the card:

 Please ignore the "g" in bug. I must have moved the stamp block while I was stamping the sentiment. Opps!

You have until Wednesday, January 27th to play along and the winner will receive a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn! I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! :)

Lawnscaping #109 - Sparkle and Shine!

 Hi everyone! I hope that everyone had a nice holiday weekend! We saw fireworks at the nearby stadium this year and my daughter had a lot of fun watching them! I was worried that she would be scared by the noise, but she didn't seem to mind it! She kept saying "wowww" all evening! :)

Anyways, there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge this morning! The challenge is to add bling, glossy accents, glitter, or anything that will add some sparkle and shine to your project!

I decided to add some Stickles to give the ladybugs some glittery sparkle!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Riley's ABCs," "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and dies, "Bugs and Kisses" stamp and dies, and Cranberry ink. The ladybugs and "little" letters are all attached with foam tape and are coated with Frosted Lace stickles. I also stamped the ladybug trail in grey ink, and the hearts are all stamped in the Cranberry ink. Here is a close up to show the glittery details on the card:

Don't forget to see what else the Lawscaping Team created, and also don't forget to play along! The winner of this challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate to Ellen Hutson! Woohoo!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a great week! :)

Love You Beary Much!

 Hello again everyone! I hope your week has been going well! It's almost the weekend - woohoo!

I have another card that I wanted to share with you before Valentine's Day!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Violet's ABCs," "Bugs and Kisses," and "Love You S'more" stamp sets, as well at "Scripty Love" and "Stitched Circle" dies. I started by die cutting a circle from white card stock and using distress inks to create a scene. To get the bear facing the other way, I first die cut the bear from white card stock, flipped the die cut over, and mirror stamped on the back. That way I can still use the dies with mirror stamping! The bears and hearts are all colored with colored pencils, and the "love" is die cut from glittery paper. Then, I adhered everything to the card base, stamped the sentiment, and finished by adding dashed lines around the scene. 

Well, thanks for stopping by! Do you have anything fun planned for Valentine's Day? I'm not sure what, or if we're doing anything yet, but whatever we end up doing tomorrow will be fun together as a family! Have a good weekend! :)

Lawnscaping #98 - Create a Background

 Good morning! Did you have a nice weekend? We took down our Christmas tree and all of our Christmas decorations this weekend. The living room looks so bare without the Christmas tree! I'll get used to it eventually! 

Well, it's that time again - a new Lawnscaping Challenge!! The challenge is to create a background with your stamps! 

And here is the card that I created:

I used one of Lawn Fawn's new sets, "Bugs and Kisses," my favorite alpha set, "Riley's ABCs," and the "Scripty Love Die." I stamped the little bugs randomly on a piece of kraft cardstock and colored the critters with Prismacolor pencils. I just wanted a little bit of color, so I only colored a little bit of the critters. I also used some glittery paper for the "love."

Well, thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to check out what the rest of the design team created - the girls did an amazing job! And don't forget that the winner of this challenge will receive a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn - woo hoo! :)

Home is where your honey is...

Good morning everyone! I hope that you are having a good week so far! I am so excited to be sharing this card with you that is being featured on the Lawn Fawn Blog today!

This card features a ton of different Lawn Fawn products including "Bugs and Kisses," "Riley's ABCs," "Stitched Scalloped Border Die," "Large Stitched Circle Dies," Lawn Trimmings (from the vivid triple pack) and patterned paper from the Let's Polka petite paper pack. The bees and hearts are stamped, colored with Prismacolor pencils, and die cut. After adhering the patterned paper and the circle showcasing the sentiment, I stamped the bee trail over top of the papers. For the bee trail at the top of the card, I only inked the last part of the trail in the stamp set.

I really like how this card came out and I think I'll give it to my husband for Valentine's Day! :) Thanks so much for stopping by and thank you Kelly for featuring this card! I hope that you all have a good day! :)
