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!

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!

Happy Birthday Muggle!

Good morning! Roxanne here today with a card that will make all you Harry Potter fans out there swoon. I must admit, this project knocked off my own socks.

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOOVE Harry Potter. I'd turn my room into a Hogwarts dream if I could. No joke.

So I was sitting wondering what type of project I was going to make for my post this month and I grabbed the owl from the Lawn Fawn Winter Owl and knew exactly what I wanted to do. I mean, he's wearing a scarf, so that right there screams HP to me. I cannot be the only one ;)

Once I started coloring him, the idea to put him on a broom came to mind. Then it was like a domino effect and I came up with this...

 

I made him into Harry Potter playing Quidditch. I thought this is perfect to give to the Harry Potter fan in my life, or just keep for myself to display. Either way! 

For the background, I used Distress Inks in Dusty Concord and Tumbled Glass and Memento in Nautical Blue with craft sponges and I made this magical looking sky. 

I then took some yellow patterend paper I had and cut a skinny strip for the stand and then two dies to make the opening of the Quidditch goal. I glued that down to the sky scene. For the sentiment, I took the happy birthday from the Lawn Fawn Party Animal set and stacked them. Under that, I used Milo's ABC's for spelling out MUGGLE! I gave the Muggle a bit of a shadow with some white ink behind it. 

 

I used the broom from the Lawn Fawn Critters in Costume, colored in with my Spetrum Noir Alcohol Markers and fussy cut it out. I used trimmed down foam adhesive behind it to give it dimension. 

Then I colored in Harry. I used a fine tip marker to draw on the scar to give it that special touch! Harry sports his scar, so this is no different! I placed him on the broom with some more foam adhesive. 

For the stars, I used some small rhinestones I had to make it sparkle a bit and bring some more life to this card. 

I hope you enjoyed my project today as much as I enjoyed making it! Thanks for stopping by.

Quick and Fun Halloween Cards

Hello everybody! Heidi here, I hope you had a fantastic weekend full of crafting fun! Today I am sharing with you some quick Halloween inspiration. Halloween is around the corner, so I decide to come out with something that would be quick and easy to do, so if you don't have time or need some last minute cards, this inspiration is for you. Also if you haven't enter our current Lawnscaping Challenge, "Too Cute to Spook" sponsored by Lawn Fawn, you can do so HERE

I cut some 4 7/8 by 3 1/2 note cards out some white cardstock and I added a piece of Lawn Fawn "Let's Polka in the dark" petite patterned paper to cover the whole front of the note card. Then I used the small "stitched party banners" die to cut a banner out of white cardstock. I created a pattern by stamping some of the little images from the "Spooktacular" and "critters in costume" stamp sets. I colored the little patterns using Copic Markers.

              

I stamped and diecut the cat, and the bunny in the pumpkin from critters in costume, and the bat from "Spooktacular" along with couple more bats from the "trick or treat" mini set, and I poped them with foam adhesive. Then I stamp and embossed the sentiments, and finally added some twine to the top of the banner and I tied a bow. 

I hope you enjoyed these cards and that you enter our current challenge: Too cute to spook! 

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Halloween

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a super fun Halloween card! Did you know that yetis go trick or treating? This little yeti didn't even make it to the front doorstep before it was spooked by a group of ghosts. This haunted house was just too scary, luckily no candy was lost in the frantic running.

Materials Used:
Critters in Costume
Happy Haunting
Hats Off to You

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

Trick or Treat

Hi Lawnscapers, Roxanne here! I'm excited that this is my first official blog post for Lawnscaping as part of the Facebook Inspiration Team.

I made this adorable Halloween card. I love to have some on hand to give to teachers, my kids, or anyone who loves the holiday as much as I do. This year, I even think I'll decorate earlier. ;)

For this card, I used the Lawn Fawn, Critters in Costume set for the main focus. I recently adopted a dog, so I went for the dog in a bee costume. He's just too cute! I stamped him with Memento  in Tuxedo Black and colored him in with Spectrum Noir markers. I fussy cut him out leaving a slight outline around him. You'll notice I cut between his front paws so I could sneak him behind the borders I cut for the card layout to give more depth. For the trick or treat bag, I just stamped in Tuxedo Black onto kraft paper and fussy cut around that as well. I snuck it behind the doggy.

For the background, I took a honeycomb stencil and used Versamagic ink in Tattered Straw and sponged it on varying the pressure so it's slightly lighter in the middle. I chose to use watercolor paper for this because I love the texture of it. I then spritzed on some spray mist over the honeycomb and dabbed it off with a paper towel.

I cut strips of patterned paper for the doggy and his trick or treat bag to nestle into. I popped up the center piece with some foam adhesive so I could do that.

I hope you enjoyed my project for this month! Just remember, Halloween is only 65 days away...
