Lawn Fawn & ScraPerfect

Hi everyone! This week, the Lawn Fawn design team has teamed up with the ScraPerfect team to share some inspiration using their products!

For my card today, I used Lawn Fawn's "Meow You Doin?," "Quinn's ABCs," "Out of This World" (for the sentiment), "Get Well Soon" (for the sentiment) and the ZigZag Rectangle Stackables. I also used ScraPerfect's Embellie Gellie to help adhere the hearts and sequins to the card! That is such a neat tool to use and it makes adding sequins soo much easier!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a great week, and don't forget to stop by the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration featuring ScraPerfect products! :)

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! :)

Etsy Shop Saturday!

Hi everyone! I have a quick card to share with you from the Whimsipost Etsy Shop!

A long time ago, I made this card and I decided it was time to make it again in a different colors. So here is the "get whale soon" card in green!

I think I like the blue version better, but this one still looks just as cute!

I am also entering this card into the current Catered Crop challenge since it is all about get well soon cards! Perfect! :)

 Well, thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a great weekend! :)

Lawnscaping #87 - Back to School!

 Good morning! I hope that you had a nice weekend! Whew - I'm exhausted from my weekend! My sister-in-law got married, so everyone in the family has been super busy getting things ready. Everything went smoothly though, and the bride and groom were glowing! I'm so excited for those two! :)

It is time again for another Lawnscaping Challenge!! This weeks challenge is to create a back to school themed project!

My husband is not a fan of this challenge because it means that the beginning of the school year is coming! He's is trying to enjoy his last few weeks of summer vacation! So, to get him pumped up for school to start, I made this card:

Teacher need encouragement, too! :) This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die, "Quinn's 123s" stamp and die, "Hats Off to You," "Smitty's ABCs," "My Silly Valentine," and "Blue Skies" for the stars. Everything is stamped, colored, cut, and adhered to the card base. And I didn't use any foam tape (that's so unlike me!).

The sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp and the winner will receive a $25 gift card to their store!

I hope that you're able to play along with this challenge! I can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Lawnscaping #84 - Stars And/Or Stripes

 Hello everyone! It has been so long since I have shared a card with you! I unfortnately missed the last Lawnscaping Challenge because I came down with a stomach bug (yuck!). And since then, our little girl has been teething (poor kid!). So, I've had my hands full!

 But thankful I was able to participate in this weeks Lawnscaping challenge (and you should, too!!). This weeks challenge is to create a project with stars and/or stripes.

I chose to use stars in my project. A friend is having a baby girl soon, so I made this baby card for her:

 This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die, "Riley's ABCs," "Blue Skies," "Love You S'more," and "Plus One" stamp sets. I colored the letters, moon, and stars with Prismacolor pencils (I just got them for my birthday and they are so much fun!). I added a coat of stickes to the top of the stars to give them some shine. The letters, moon, and some of the stars are attached with foam tape!

Well, thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge! The winner will receive a free stamp set of their choice from Lawn Fawn! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

 Happy Mother's Day! I have a few Mother's Day cards to share with you this morning! :)

For my first card, I used a Halloween set to create a card for moms! It's fun to try and stretch your stamp supplies for different occasions!

 This card features Lawn Fawn's "Critters in Costume" and "Quinn's ABCs" stamp sets, as well as "Quinn's ABCs" dies. Since this is a Mother's Day card, I gave the owl a pink cape and mask (and I even added some sparkle to the cape!).

For my next card, I created a bouquet of flowers! What mom doesn't enjoy receiving flowers on Mother's Day (or any other day...)?!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Our Friendship Grows" and "Happy Everything" stamp sets, as well as some gold sparkle twine. I attached the flowers with a bunch of foam tape to give them a lot of dimension!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a nice weekend! :)

Lawnscaping #75 - Dots and Hearts

Hello everyone! I'm back again! I took a little bit of "time off" from crafting to adjust to my new role as a mother!! Claire Rebekah was born on December 10th and it has been so much fun (as well as so tiring!) getting to know her and watch her grow. Everyone always says that babies grow so fast, and it's so true! I can't believe how much she has grown in her first 8 weeks! I will share some pictures with you all soon! :)

Since naps are becoming more consistent, I was finally able to create a card for the current Lawnscaping Challenge - Dots and Hearts!

 My first thought was to create a Valentine's Day card, so here is what I created:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die, "Good Fortune" stamp and die, "Blue Skies," "Home Sweet Home," and "Peace Love and Joy" mixed sequins. Some of the letters even have some polka dots to match the current challenge!

I hope that you're able to play along, too! The winner of this challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate from Simon Says Stamp!

Thanks so much for stopping by! You'll be seeing more cards from me soon! :)

Peace and Joy

Hello again! I am to share another Christmas card with you today!

I sewed a border on this card (just like yesterday's Christmas card) but you can see this one since it's on darker paper! Yay! This card feature's Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" and "Quinn's 123s" stamp sets, as well as Quinns ABCs dies. Having the die cuts made this card so quick to make! And this would be so easy to make with different sentiments! It's also hard to tell from the picture, but the yellow background is glitter paper! It's so much fun to use!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a nice weekend! :)

More exciting news...

Hi everyone! I'm so glad that it's finally Friday! This week has felt so busy and I'm glad that the weekend is almost here! :)

I have a really fun project to share with you today! In my last post I shared that my husband and I recently purchased a house, but we also have more exciting news to share. A few months ago my husband and I hosted a little party for our families to let them know that we are expecting a baby!! We are super excited! Here is the cake that I made for the party:

I used Lawn Fawn's "Plus One" stamp set and "Quinn's ABCs" die to make the banner for the top of the cake. The letters are attached to a thin thread and tied to toothpicks before they were put in the cake. And the storks are both glued to a toothpick!

I used food coloring to color the inside of a white cake mix so that when we cut the cake it revealed the gender of the baby! And when we cut the cake, it revealed that....

... we are having a girl!! She is due December 5th (but I'm praying that she comes earlier!). We thank God everyday for our little girl that we're going to meet soon! I can't wait for her to get here! :)

I hope that you enjoyed the cake decorations! They were so much fun to make and I'm so excited to share our big news with you! I'll let you know when she gets here! Have a great weekend!

Washi Love

Happy weekend, everyone! I hope that you're having a good weekend so far! I think that I am coming down with a cold, so I am hoping that will go away soon! It would be a much better weekend without the cold, and without work this morning, but it will still be a good one! :)

I have a card to share with you for the current Moxie Fab Challenge - the stickers and tape challenge!

I made a card similar to this one before (you can see that card here), but I recently bought some new washi tape colors so I decided to make another one! I like how easy it is to make a card with washi tape, especially a colorful one! The washi tapes are from various companies (Recollections and some brand that I found at Target). The letters and hearts are from Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp and die and "Trim the Tree" respectively. I'm not sure which set the small hearts are from, but it is definitely from a Lawn Fawn set. :)

Well, thanks for stopping by! I need to go finish laundry now! :)

Lawnscaping Challenge #62

Hello everyone! It's time again for another Lawnscaping Challenge! The week's challenge is to create a card using paper piecing!

 Paper piecing is one of my favorite techniques! I'm not very good at coloring on my cards, so I usually use paper piecing to add color! Here is the card that I created for this challenge:

 This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" stamp set and die, "Home Sweet Home," and "Plus One" stamp sets. All of the images are cut from various patterned papers and I added some pink enamel dots with the leaves.

I hope that you'll be able to play along with us at Lawnscaping! The winner will receive a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn! That's a great price! Don't forget to check out the other cards from the Lawnscaping design team, too! :)

Hello again!

Wow! So, it has been a very long while since I posted to my blog! A few weeks ago I got sick and it has thrown me into a horrible crafting rut! Not fun. I am hoping that my inspiration will come back soon!

If you haven't seen, Lawnscaping is having a design team call challenge! Lawn Fawn products are my favorite and Lawnscaping is my favorite challenge blog! Being a part of the design team would be awesome!!

Here is a card that I have to share with you for the design team challenge!

This card feature's "Critters in the Sea," "Quinn's ABCs," and "Smitty's ABCs." I misted some white ink onto the patterned paper background before adhering the sentiment, whale and hearts. I think this card sums up my card making style pretty well. I like cute little scenes with lots of small accents and definitely puns! :)

Good luck with everyone who applies for the Lawnscaping design team. Don't forget to enter! :)

Happy Easter!

 Hi everyone! I hope that everyone had a good week and is looking forward to the weekend! I have an Easter card to share with you today!

This card features Lawn Fawn's new stamp set "Happy Easter," as well at "Quinn's ABCs" and the Quinn's ABCs dies! I think the bouncing bunny is so adorable!! :)

Do you have any plans for this weekend? We will be traveling to visit my family this year and I am really excited to see everyone! I hope that you have a safe weekend and a Happy Easter! Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog today! :)

Sunshine!

Hi everyone! I have a card to share with you for the current Retro Sketches Challenge! I have had my eye on this challenge blog for awhile and I have been wanting to participate, so I was very happy to find some time this week to play along! The challenge is to create a card based on this sketch:

 

This is the card that I created from the sketch!

 

I'm not sure about you, but I have had enough of this cold, dreary weather and I am ready for spring! So, I thought a sunny card would brighten the day! For this card, I used Lawn Fawn's patterned paper as well as the "Quinn's ABCs" stamp set and coordinating die! The dies are a wonderful companion to have along with the stamp set! No more fussy cutting letters!! I also added some yellowish greenish enamel dots. The other sentiments are from a Hero Arts sentiment stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you had a wonderful week! :)
