Beep beep!

hello!

Samantha M here, and today I'm sharing the first of my (many to come!) Christmas cards! lol!
So let's get to it:

Aw, love that ADORABLE cute, car from the new Home for the Holidays stamp set! I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and fussy cut it out!

The background of the insta-scene was created with Distress Inks and water and lots of watercoloring! The snow was created with a stencil and some embossing paste! I used the #awesome die set to create that fun scene, all on the SUPER COOL white woodgrain paper!

I heat embossed the sentiment from the new Merry Messages stamp set! Love those sayings on that set!!
This card has a little bit of a hint as to what the new challenge that starts on Monday will be...can you guess?

Thanks again for checking out my card!

2015 Desktop Calendar

Hi everyone! It's Yuki here with my first blog post on the Lawnscaping blog :). One of my favorite things about the end of the year is buying new calendars for the following year. This year instead of buying a calendar, I decided to make my own desktop calendar to give as a gift.

I reused an old CD calendar case I had from a previous year as my calendar stand. For the dates, I used a calendar stamp set I had purchased specifically with this project in mind. However, you could also use calendar stickers, printables or even write the dates by hand. I found the stamp to be the most versatile and convenient since you can stamp it in different colors and even heat emboss it. I decided to make each month unique and tried to  highlight key dates such as holidays and even my friend's birthday.

Since I used a TON of different products (too many to list), I listed the Lawn Fawn products used for each month under the photo captions.

Winter Penguin; Yeti, Set, Go.

Yay you made it to the end of the post! I know that was a lot of scrolling LOL, however I hope you enjoyed today's post. Although this project was a little more time consuming than most and did require some extra planning, it was super fun to make and I'm really happy with the end result. I hope my friend likes her handmade gift as much as I do!

Thanks again for stopping by and be sure to visit the Lawnscaping Challenges Facebook page for even more awesome inspiration. And also, don't forget to check out the latest Lawnscaping Challenge: Merry Christmas, you have until Wednesday to play along!

Happy Birthday Card + Video

Hello!

It's Tracy here with a fun birthday card using numbers!  If you haven't seen the challenge this week, you can check it out here.  I also created a video showing you step by step on how I made this card.

Watch here || Watch on Youtube

Isn't that Distress Glitter fun?  A little messy, but I love the end result!  All of the patterned papers I used are from the Lawn Fawn Let's Polka 6x6 paper pad.  I die cut the banner and circle using the Stitched Party Banner dies.

I stamped the numbers from the Quinn's 123's stamp set and heat embossed them with Silver embossing powder.  I then filled them in with Glossy Accents and Peacock Feathers Distress Glitter.  The sentiment is from the #awesome stamp set.  I added two bows on top of the banner with Stormy Lawn Trimmings.

All of the supplies are listed in the description below my video on Youtube.  I hope you enjoyed my card and are inspired to make your own card using numbers!

Have a great day!

I'll follow you

Hello, it's Sabine from the Facebook Inspiration Team :) I made this card for the current challenge "Bling it". 

The sheep and the chickie from "Critters on the farm" are "blinged up" with stickles. The sentiment is from the new set "#awesome". I also used the fun stitched journaling card die.

Hugs, Sabine
