Warm Winter Critters

Hi, everybody! Suzanne here, and I'm sharing a new card inspired by the current "Winter Wonderland" challenge! With a little bit of masking and a few extra lines, I dressed up the critters from Lawn Fawn's "Party Animal" and "Holiday Party Animal" sets in some festive sweaters:

I mainly masked off the bellies of the fox and the raccoon. The bear didn't have any belly lines, so I just drew some cuffs, a collar and the sweater bottom. I picked different mini icons from my other Lawn Fawn sets and stamped them so that each sweater would have a different design.

I made the background with Let's Bokeh in the Snow and cut some glitter paper from my stash with the Stitched Hillside Borders Lawn Cuts to create some sparkly snow. 

Don't forget, you have until Wednesday, January 13 to join us and link up your entry in the current Lawnscaping challenge! One lucky winner will receive a gift certificate from Ellen Hutson!

You can find the full list of supplies I used on this card at my blog. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Thinking of you

Happy Tuesday, Kim here from the Lawnscaping FIT team with a fun holiday themed project featuring the Ready, Set, Snow and Shaker add-on. I started by stamping the Winter in the Park snow, bench and light post I then masked them off and used a mix of distress inks to blend my background. Once I cut the cover frame, I felt the scene needed a little something, something so what better then a set of the Lawn Fawn birds from Chit Chat paired with the Santa's hat from the Holiday Party Animal stamp set. 

I created the snow in the background with my Sakura white Gellyroller added a red sparkle embossed bow to the light post and my snow pen for the bench. I filled my shaker with White Flower soft and some flat sequins.  Put everything together with fun foam and finished it off with the red Lawn Trimmings!  

Thinking of you is the current Lawnscaping Challenge theme, you have until tomorrow to enter for a chance to with $25.00 at the Ellen Hutson Store!  

Thanks so much for taking the time! Have a great week!

Lawn Fawn Thanksgiving!

Good morning! Kim from the Lawnscaping FIT team this morning sharing a fun and easy Thanksgiving project. It was Thanksgiving in Canada this past weekend and I always make nameplates for everyone as my husband and I collectively have a large family, this makes everything so much easier! My project would also work for the current Lawnscaping Challenge - Sentiments , which is open until tomorrow so you still have time to submit!

I die cut Kraft 4x4 squares and folded them in half, die cut the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Leaves also from Kraft. I used various colours of Distress Inks to colour the leaves. I then used Milo's ABCs for the "give" and the names on the black tags, I used the Scripty Thanks die and cut from black and orange cardstock and I used Gathered Twigs Distress on the orange and glued them offset so the black would allow for a shadow.  Once everything was glued I felt the Holiday Party Animal Pilgrim Hat would be a cute topper to the "h" in the thanks. I used older Lawn Trimmings in the Orange and Brown to attach the nametag!  Don't forget you still have time to submit to the current challenge sentiments the lucky winner of this challenge will receive a $25.00 gift card from the fabulous Ellen Hutson on-line store!

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!
