Shake A Leg

Good morning! I have a cute little card today perfect for Thanksgiving and silly to boot.

We all know the saying shake a leg, so I made that literal. I love the little jar and come on, who doesn't enjoy the turkey legs? Isn't that always a fight among your guests at Thanksgiving?? Ha!

 

I kept the layout pretty clean and simple since I wanted the focus on the turkey legs in this card. 

  

I hope you enjoyed this little card I created.  I had a fun time creating this.

Thanks for checking out my project!!

 

SUPPLIES USED:

• Lawn Fawn Bugs & Kisses
• Lawn Fawn Happy Feast
• Memento, Tuxedo Black
• Crafter's Companion Ultra White Premium Cardstock
• Spectrum Noir Pencils

Thankful Note Cards

Good morning! It's Roxanne here with a Thanksgiving themed project for you today. I think I'll put these out on our placemats for our Thanksgiving morning breakfast (along with these cute little place cards I created in September as well). Something for each of us to complete for things that we are thankful for. I will use them within a mini album I'm creating for another project. It will be nice to look back to see what the boys were thankful for at their ages of 5 and 10!

I have listed all products at the end of the post. I'll explain my process briefly and include close up photos as well!

I made five cards for each of us with 4 different designs. I figured we could each choose one design and think of five things we are thankful for and write them down.

I cut the cards from a simple white cardstock down to 3"x4" and rounded all four corners. I then cut out 20 little craft circles using the largest circle in the Let's Bokeh die set. Inside those, I stamped with black ink the little turkey leg, corn, knife and fork, and pumpkin pie from the Happy Feast set and colored them in with my colored pencils.

I also cut out quite a few of the stitches leaves from various paper I had in my stash. I ran those through my Xyron and included a grouping of them in corners on the cards. I then glued down my colored cutie images on top of the leaves, and stamped the sentiment "I'm so thankful" on each card in brown ink.

They needed something else, so I went back in with various little bits from the sets listed below and added in fun elements to the cards with my Scattered Straw (what's a more perfect fall color than that??) in no particular order and just had fun with it!

I love how they turned out.

What are YOU thankful for? I hope all those celebrating have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanksgiving Place Cards

Good morning, Roxanne here today with a cute project for your Thanksgiving table.

I usually have something Thanksgiving themed gracing our kitchen table every year, and I wanted to make something to go with that for Thanksgiving morning breakfast. Since we go see family every year for dinner, I wanted to have something cute for our table ready to put out. It's simple, cute and totally easy to do.

I also vowed to work ahead this holiday season, and this is a quick project you can do in no time at all to be prepared! If you're hosting dinner for this holiday, you can definitely make more of these to put at each place setting. It will make your guests feel special that you went a little extra special for those fun holiday touches.

When I saw this set, I knew I had to have it. The little details it came with for each holiday were so perfect!! I just love it. This is the Lawn Fawn Holiday Party Animal set. Who doesn't want to dress up a little raccoon?? 

I started out actually with a pre-scored card (it was a bulk package I bought at my local craft store that has pre-scored cards and envelopes) that I simple folded on the score and cut in half. I got 2 place cards out of the card. Just a little tip if you buy any bulk packages or boxes of cards like this, you can make them into place cards, gift tags, anything you want!

After I scored it, I inked up the little wishbone that comes with this set with Versamark ink and stamped a random pattern on each one. I do have a set of 4 of them that you'll see in just a bit; they're all the same and you can certainly make each one different if you'd like! 

I then diecut four of the Lawn Fawn Stitched Labels in a maize colored cardstock from my stash. The sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn Happy Feast set. I actually stamped them each separately onto the diecut label since I couldn't place the sentiment stamps close enough together on the block to fit. They are stamped in Versafine in Onyx Black just because it's a really rich black color and I wanted it to pop!

Now onto the raccoon. I stamped him four times, as well as the pie (which I had to turn into a pumpkin pie; what else is better on Thanksgiving?!) and the pilgrim hat, onto some quality coloring cardstock and colored each of them in with my Spectrum Noir Markers. If you're interested in the colors I used, they were OR1, OR2, TN2, TN5, TN7, DR7, EB2, EB3, EB5, CG1, CG3, CG5, and the blender. After I colored them in, I fussy cut them out. You can definitely purchase the coordinating dies for the set which would make things much quicker for you!

After I cut them all out, I applied foam adhesive to everything and assembled the raccoon and stuck him onto the card base. Tip here - I worked a little backwards. I glued down the sentiment label first and then positioned my raccoon. 

Here are all four place cards with a couple different angles so you can see all the details!

There you have it. My little Thanksgiving place cards are done. I keep them generic (you can put your family members' names on there if you'd like) so if I wanted to, I could use them year after year, or I could put one up with the decorations another year. You could also reuse them the next year and cut off at the fold to create a really easy card for friends or family! Just adhere your cut place card panel to a piece of colored cardstock and there you go! 

Thanks for stopping by :) Happy crafting!

I'm So Thankful for You!

Good morning! Roxanne here today to show you a colorful project that I created for a Mother's Day card. I'll be making a few more for those special women in my life.

I love using bright colored images with black. It really makes your bright images pop off the page or card.

I chose a simple white base for my card. I always use a folded 4.25x5.5 card. It fits perfectly into an A2 envelope. You can get fun colored envelopes if you'd like, too! Adds a fun touch to someone's mailbox :)

I used a 4x5.25 piece of shimmering cardstock (Crafter's Companion, Silver Starlight) and a dotted stencil (Heidi Swapp) with some embossing paste (Dreamweaver Stencils, Embossing Paste). This was my first time using it and I'm definitely using this more often! It was really quite easy and fun, just took a little time to dry. After it was dry, I rubbed on some Versamagic ink in Thatched Straw just in one section. I love the look of this in person!

For the focal point, I used the Lawn Fawn Tag You're It dies to cut out the tag and hole. For the tag, I used Memento Luxe in Wedding Dress with various images from the Lawn Fawn Flutter By. I just am loving the chalkboard look lately. The hole for the tag was cut out on the yellow striped paper from the Lawn Fawn 6x6 Let's Polka Petite Paper Pack. Little touches make an impact I think.

The butterfly, rose, and leaves were stamped onto white cardstock with Memento in Tuxedo Black. I then colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils. I used the paper stumps and blending solution to blend my coloring. I cut them out leaving a slight white border. Using foam adhesive, I glued them to the tag I created. I love the punch of color!! The cord at the top of the tag is a little piece of cord from Lawn Fawn's Lawn Trimmings, Pink Lemonade. It matched the pink in the rose I colored.

The sentiment blocks were stamped on white cardstock with Memento in Tuxedo Black and I simply cut around them in a rectangle shape. These are from the Lawn Fawn Happy Feast set.

I used foam adhesive to glue down the tag and sentiment blocks to the embossed piece. There you go!  A beautiful Mother's Day card. I hope you're inspired to create some beautiful, and simple, cards for those special women in your life for Mother's Day :)

Happy Easter Box

Hi, there! It's Roxanne here today with a cute little project I came up with just in time for Easter. I'm actually going to use for a decoration on my china cabinet because I love how it came out.

Here's a little secret on my project...I didn't use any Easter themed stamp sets from Lawn Fawn! Gasp!! I don't actually have any yet, so I had to get creative. I love making things out of unexpected sets.

These are the supplies I used for the project I'm about to show you.

Lawn Fawn, Milo's ABC's

Lawn Fawn, Trim the Tree

Lawn Fawn, Trim the Tree Lawn Cuts

Lawn Fawn, Winter Gifts

Lawn Fawn, Happy Feast

Lawn Fawn, Lawn Trimmings Vivid Triple Pack Cord (yellow cord only used)

The box was something I had a few of left in my stash. I just added the pink striped paper from the Lawn Fawn 6x6 Petite Paper Pack, Let's Polka. I sanded the edges to blend them in and smooth out the cuts I had to make to get it to fit.

Next, I created my tag from the Winter Gifts set. I stamped it with Memento in Tuxedo Black ink onto kraft cardstock (my fry box is kraft as well) and cut it out and punched a hole in the top of the tag. I colored in the border with a couple of my Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils.

For the Happy Easter sentiment, I stamped that using the word "happy" from the Happy Feast set and "Easter" was from the Milo's ABC's set. I used Versafine, Onyx Black to make sure it was nice and dark! I then set that aside to dry.

I stamped the pennants from the Winter Gifts set onto two different patterened papers from the 6x6 Let's Polka Petite Paper Pack and cut them to fit onto the tag. I used Memento, Tuxedo Black for those and foam adhesive to give them dimension.

On to my Easter basket! For the basket, I used the bucket from the Trim the Tree set and formed the garland from that set to create a handle for my basket. I then fussy cut it out and colored it in with the Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils.

For the eggs, I used the two round, striped ornaments from the Trim the Tree set and this time, I used the Lawn Cuts for the set to cut them out. I then colored them in with my pencils again.

To get the eggs in the basket, I cut a slit at the top of the basket from left to right, almost to the created handle. I then cut some in half, snuck them in and layered them to make it appear realistic.

I decided an Easter basket definitely needs a bow, so I used the bow from the Trim the Tree set with Radiant Neon in Electric Coral and diecut it with the coordinating Lawn Cuts. They really do make life easy!!

Next, I decided I needed something under the sentiment, so I grabbed the small ornament from the Trim the Tree set and those became my carrots! I chose to fussy cut around them so I could draw in a simple green topper to each of them as the leaves of the carrots. I used some trimmed down foam adhesive to pop them off the tag.

I just adhered the tag onto the box front with some foam adhesive and grabbed some lime green tissue paper and folded it and trimmed it at the top to mimic grass, and stuffed that inside. Really easy and super cute!

I hope you enjoyed my project today and that I've inspired you to look at your sets in new ways you might not have thought of before to create something fun and whimsical! Thanks for looking! Happy crafting :)
