A Special Anniversary Card!

Hi, everybody! Suzanne here, and today I have a special card to share with you! My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary two weeks ago, so I wanted to make him a special card. 

One of our first vacations was a week-long trip to New Orleans. He would walk down to the Cafe' du Monde every morning and bring back beignets and coffee for breakfast. 

So, I put together this scene for the card front with two of the pups (and the speech bubble) from the limited edition "Happy Howlidays" Lawn Fawn Stamptember set. 

The beignets are actually rocks from Lawn Fawn's "Critters from the Past" stamp set. I stamped them in brown ink on kraft cardstock and used a white gel pen to make them look like they have powdered sugar on top.

Here's a close up of the card front:

The bows are from the "Critters at the Dog Park" set, and the plate is from the "Milk and Cookies" set. I made the floor with a strip of wood paper tape. The sentiment is from the "Sophie's Sentiments" set and I stamped it on paper from the "Let's Polka Mon Amie" petite paper pack.

I hope you enjoyed today's card! We'll have a new Lawnscaping challenge starting on Monday morning, and I hope you'll join us! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Hello

Good morning, Samantha here with a cheerful under the sea card for you. I created a simple scene using a variety of Lawn Fawn Products. The sea was created with layers of multiple pattern papers and colored vellum. I tucked the kraken under a portion of the vellum to create dimension. Transparent enamel dots were attached to the top of the vellum to create a bubbly sea. Orange pattern paper was used for the "hello" sentiment from the "Yay Kites- Lawn Cuts". The sentiment had to be cut down slightly so it did not overlap the kraken. 

Materials Used:

Beachside Petite Paper Pack

Let's Polka Mon Amie Petite Paper Pack

Lovable Legends 

Stitched Journaling Card

Yay Kites - Lawn Cuts

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Colorful Pizza Card

 Hi everyone! It's Elise here today to share a colorful card with you this morning! The new Pizza My Heart set is so cute, so I used that set to make this colorful Valentine's Day card!

This card features the Pizza My Heart stamp and die set, as well as patterned paper from Let's Polka and Let's Polka In the Dark, I really wanted to use the die for the pizza slice to make a whole pizza, so I stamped and die cut the pizza slices from different colors of patterned paper and arranged them to form a pizza on my card base. I stamped the sentiment above and below the image and added a few pink hearts around the pizza in Wild Rose ink. The faces that are included in this set are so cute on the slices of pizza! I really like that mustache face!

Thanks for stopping by today to check out this colorful card! Don't forget to stop by again on Monday for the next Lawnscaping Challenge! It's going to be a fun one! :)

Have a great day!

Combining Two Stamp Sets

Hi everyone! It's Marina! I thought a lot about this post and I always love to try to include a technique to share but today, I was looking through my stamp stash and I wanted to combine two stamp sets together because I feel that this is a way I could stretch the use of my sets.

I began by choosing these two sets. Hello Sunshine & Love You A Latte.

I used various inks to stamp out the heart and circle balloons. I've also cut them out and left a thin white border around it with my scissors.

On a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, I've stamped the mug and using a post-it as a masking paper, I took the balloon strings and stamp over the cup. I wanted to have balloons coming out of the cup. 

I've layered the top portion with a paper from the Let's Polka paper pack.

Hope this inspires you to combine your new and older sets together. Take care!

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 :)

Clean & Simple Die Cutting

Hi everyone! It's Marina! The Lawnscaping Challenge #101 - Dots and/or Stripes has been putting me in a polka dot buzz so I'm here to share with you a very easy way to make use of your stackables die cut.

Since I only have the Large Stitched Circle Stackables, I could only get in 4 colours but if you have the full set, you can make a fun full rainbow or ombre!

I started by die cutting each Let's Polka paper with two circle dies. I want to minimize the bulk and this way, I can do some inlaid die-cutting.

Once you've die cut all your stackables, you can line them up into each other like this

 Take your choice of sentiment and you're done!

Try this technique with not only circles but square or rectangles :) 

Thanks for stopping by! I would love to see your take on this.

Fresh takes on some Lawn Fawn favorites!

Hi, Suzanne from the Facebook Inspiration Team (FIT) here to share some cards that will make you take a fresh look at your Lawn Fawn stamps!

For the January FIT blog hop, I posted this card. I made the waves with the big pattern stamp from Woodgrain Backdrops. Since I was so happy with this card, I was inspired to take another look at my Lawn Fawn stamps to see what new combos I could create!

This card uses the double popsicle from Here's the Scoop. Since the face on the popsicle is in the middle of the image, I cut it in half to make two smaller popsicles for a quick love-themed card.

Here's another sweet treat: I used the outline ice cream stamp from Here's the Scoop to make a popcorn-themed hello card!

So how did I make the popcorn box? I stamped the chopstick from Let's Roll five times, and colored each chopstick red. I cut the box from the card stock, adhered it to the card and added a little shading with one of my markers. (The faces on the kernels are from Milk And Cookies and Love You A Latte.)

I hope that the cards I've shared with you today inspire you to take a fresh look at your favorite Lawn Fawn sets and create something new! (FIT member Isha had a sweet post yesterday with her own "out of the box" ideas...make sure you check it out!)

Don't forget, you still have time to play along with our Dots and Stripes challenge, sponsored by Ellen Hutson!
