An Autumn Thank You!

Hi there! Chrissie here.  I love Autumn, and I love creating Autumn inspired cards! Using one stamp set and one die set, I created a simple, but fun Autumn creation!

I used A Good Apple for the sentiment and I die cut the trees out of Kraft using the Stitched Tree Borders.  Then I added some different Distress Inks over the die cuts (Vintage Photo, Barn Door, Mowed Lawn, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed).  To create the background, I used Distress Inks again and then flicked some water over it. To frame up the image, I placed some vellum over the background.

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to play along in our current CAS Challenge!

Have a great day!

Pinterest Inspired!

Hi there!
Chrissie here! I wanted to share another card I created for our current Pinterest Inspired Challenge!

Even though I love hot weather, there is just something about Fall! The pumpkin patches, the crisp air, the leaves changing colors... I just love it all! So, I had no problem getting inspired to play along in the current challenge board.

I stamped the woodgrain background first, then went over it with some ombre ink.  To soften it, I trimmed some vellum and adhered it over the top.  I was inspired by all of the leaves and the woodgrain of the challenge board!

I stamped all images onto white cardstock and then trimmed them (or die cut them out).  Everything was colored in with Spectrum Noir markers.

Don't forget to play along in our current challenge to win! We are sponsored by Ellen Hutson and there is still time to play!

Thanks for stopping by!

SUPPLIES:

Lawn Fawn Stamp Sets: Woodgrain Backdrops, Into the Woods, Critters in Costume

Lawn Cuts (Dies): Critters in Costume

Lawn Fawn Ink: Walnut

Other Supplies:

Hero Arts Ombre Ink Butter to Orange

Spectrum Noir Markers CT4, OR1, TN3, TN5, TN7

Get Texture-fied!

Hi!
Chrissie here and there's still time to play along in our current challenge, adding texture!

I'm already in the Halloween spirit, so I wanted to make a card using texture.  I kept it pretty clean and simple, using an embossing folder for my texture.

I used Critters in Costume and I added some Distress Ink to create the background.

I colored everything in using Spectrum Noir markers.  Don't forget to play along!

Cheers! Color Splash and a Video!

Hey! Chrissie here! I was inspired by the Color Splash Challenge, so I created this card:

I kept everything monotone except the foiled die cut! Please watch the video below (or on my You Tube Channel) to see how I created it!

Hello Baby Card

Good morning! It's Roxanne here on the blog today with a really sweet baby card that I created. I love to have cards in my stash that I can easily grab and send off when I need to instead of running to the store. Plus, a handmade card is special. Especially for someone with a new baby. They'll definitely appreciate the time and effort that you put into it! And this particular card is really simple.

I took a kraft paper base, scored it and folded to 4.25x5.5. I took the baby rattle and open heart stamp from the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby stamp set and inked them up with Memento Luxe in Wedding Dress and stamped it randomly to create a simple little background that peeks out. Fun little touch.

 

I then took some premium white cardstock and used the Lawn Fawn Let's Bokeh Lawn Cuts and cut out 3 circles. I inked up the larger bunny, sentiment hello baby, and the baby bunny from the set with some Memento in Tuxedo Black and stamped those into the circles I diecut. I used a Wink of Stella Brush pen to color over the sentiment and added a simple little twine bow above it. Then I colored the bunnies with my Spectrum Noir Markers (colors listed at the end). I tried using realistic coloring and shading for the bunnies especially the top bunny. I love how she came out!

For some color, I used a pretty floral piece of patterned paper from my stash and glued strips to either side of the brown and white graph paper. I rounded the two corners and adhered to my card base. I then used some foam adhesive to glue down the 3 circles in the center of that. And just for an elegant touch, I used some small self adhesive pearls on the grid lines of the graph paper.

Very simple yet soft and elegant card perfect for a new baby! I hope you're inspired to create a soft and simple card just like this. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

SUPPLIES USED:

• Lawn Fawn Let's Bokeh Lawn Cuts

• Memento Luxe, Wedding Dress

Holiday Joy Card

Good morning! Roxanne here today with a holiday themed card I created. Let's check it out! My supplies are listed at the end as well.

I wanted to make something really bright and cheery for a holiday card. I used the green tree paper from the 6x6 Snow Day Paper Pack and cut to my card size (4.25x5.25) and adhered to the card base. That green is the perfect color for the other elements I used. It makes them really pop off the page. Okay, foam adhesive helped there too ;)

I diecut the "joy" from the Scripty Joy Lawn Cuts out of some beautiful shimmering cardstock in Candy Red (what a perfect name). I trimmed some foam adhesive down to fit onto the back because I really wanted dimension to this card.

For the circle elements, I used the Let's Bokeh Lawn Cuts and cut out 5 circles out of the largest die out of my white cardstock I used for coloring. I stamped my little elements in there using the Baaah Humbug set. I colored them all in with my Spectrum Noir Markers and added some sheen in there with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens. I wish you could see the sparkle it adds!

I arranged the circles and joy diecut on my card and used foam adhesive for everything to pop it up off that bright green tree paper. I hope you enjoyed my project. There is still a little time to create some adorable holiday cards, or even a quick gift of thank you notes, matching envelopes and a pretty pen for giving. Happy Holidays!

SUPPLIES USED:

• Let's Bokeh Lawn Cuts
• Scripty Joy Lawn Cuts
• Baaah Humbug
• Crafter's Companion Shimming Cardstock, Candy Red
• Distress Ink, Evergreen Bough
• Memento Luxe, Love Letter
• Spectrum Noir Markers: IG1, IG4, IG7, GG1, JG1, JG3, DG1, DG3, TB2, TB4, IB1, LG1, LY3, TN3, CR5, IG2, Blender
• Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens: Moonstone, Crystal Clear, Moonlight

Planner decoration

Hello Lawnscaping friends

It's Lenny from the FIT here with you today!
For this post, I used my Lawn Fawn stamps, papers and some twine to decorate
two pages in my MAMBI planner. 

Here are some photos ... 

I didn't use a lot of patterned papers, because my "boxes" are always full with to-do stuff.
On these two pages, there's still a lot of empty space. I haven't started planning yet. 
Once I'll start, there won't be lots of empty space ... busy, busy, busy... ;)

If I use patterned papers for my planner, then I'm stamping on them i.s.o. writing on them.
I find that easier! 
I also made a matching tassel with some Peppermint Lawn Trimmings.
There's a Winter penguin clip also! Perfect for winter!

Stay tuned for another fun challenge that starts on Monday!
Have a great weekend!
