Fall Paper Clip Bookmarks

Hi, everybody! Suzanne here with a fun project that you can use to jazz up your planner or to use as a bookmark. I used a few of the stamps from Lawn Fawn's Into the Woods and Happy Harvest sets to make some fall-themed paper clip bookmarks.

I stamped two of each image on heavyweight (110 lb.) white card stock. After coloring one of the images, I cut it out and left a little tail in the middle to loop around the paper clip. Then, I folded the tail behind the colored image and adhere the second image (stamped side up) to the back. 

You can get a better idea of how it's put together with this photo. (To make sure the two images line up, I added the adhesive on top of the uncolored image.)

I made some smaller page flags with scraps of coordinating paper, and used bigger images on the bigger paper clips. Here's a look at the set:

These are fall-themed, but you could use Christmas-themed stamps to make a stationery gift set for a gift, or general images for a birthday or thank you gift.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and will join us on Monday for a brand new challenge!

A cup of fall inspiration!

Hi, everybody! Happy Friday! Suzanne here with a new card that's inspired by a familiar coffee cup you may have seen around this fall. Here's an example of the design:

Several of my crafting friends have made cards lately with an extra paper cup like this one, but I always seem to put mine in the recycle bin before I think to save it for crafting!

So, I took out my Lawn Fawn stamp sets to see what stamps I could use to make a similar design, and this is what I came up with:

I've posted a list of all the stamp sets that I used on my blog, but I used the Love You A Latte set for the sentiment and coffee cup on the piece of kraft card stock. The bigger leaves are from the retired Harvest Season set, but there are leaves in other Lawn Fawn sets that you could use if you don't have that one. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you're inspired to take a look at your Lawn Fawn stamps (even the tiny ones) and create something new!

One Layer Fall and Christmas Cards

Hello everybody, Heidi here, welcome to the Lawnscaping Challenge blog. We are currently having our Lawnscaping Challenge No. 114 "One Layer Cards", sponsored by Lawn Fawn. If you haven't enter it, you can do it HERE
To inspire you to participate, I had created couple of one layer cards, one for fall and one for Christmas. One layers cards are great for mailing, and also can be quickly made. So here are the cards that I made, I hope you'll enjoy them and enter this challenge, I can't wait to see all your creations

 For this card I sued the "into the woods" the leaves were from the "Happy harvest" and the banner from "bannerific" stamp sets by Lawn Fawn. I used a little bit of masking and I finished the card with some 4mm sequins. 

For this card I got inspired on a card that I made back in July, however it wasn't a one layer card nor a Christmas card, but the idea came from that card you can see the card here. For this card I used the "Baaah Humbug" stamp set, some masking, and some subtle ink blending. I used the stitched borders to emboss some decorative border along the left and bottom sides of the card, and finished with some sequins.

Masking is a great way to add dimensions to a one layer card. you can do a lot more complex masking, or you could make simple fast cards to send easily over the mail, the possibilities are endless. 

I hoped you enjoyed these cards and that you give them a try. I also hope that you enter the current Lawnscaping Challenge.

Have a wonderful week! 

Happy Harvest Card

Hi, everybody! Suzanne here, and I have a cute fall-themed card to share with you today! I am so happy that fall is just around the corner, because it's my favorite season of the year!

I used a bunch of the stamps from Lawn Fawn's "Happy Harvest" set to make my card:

I stamped the crows on black card stock and heat embossed white powder to create the outline instead of stamping the outline in black and coloring them in. I also colored and stamped the pumpkins from the set to bring the scene outside of the circle.

The patterned paper is from the Let's Polka Mon Amie petite paper pad.

Don't forget, there's still time to join in the TEXTURE challenge here at the Lawnscaping blog, sponsored by Ellen Hutson! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I've inspired you to create something fabulous and fall-themed this weekend!
