Cookies and Milk Tags

Hello there!  Audrey here today to share some fun milk and cookies tags with you! 

With the end of the school year fast approaching. I am trying to get ahead of the game with the papercrafted goodies that I need to make.  My son has decided that as the end of the year gifts for his teachers, he wants to give them giant chocolate chip cookie cakes.  Both of his teachers have families with lots of kiddos, so I think it's a great idea!  

To personalize things am bit, I made these little tags to tie on to the cookie cakes.  I used one of the dies from the Small Stitched Rectangles Stackables die set and the base for my tags.  Then I stamped, colored and diecut some images from the Milk and Cookies stamp set.  I added some patterned paper from the Pint Sized Patterns: Beachside 6x6 paper pad, stamped a sentiment from Winter Gifts, and tied a bow using some Lawn Trimmings.

I hope you like them!  Thanks for stopping by!! :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Milk and Cookies, Winter Gifts

Dies: Milk and Cookies, Small Stitched Rectangles

Paper: Pint Sized Patterns: Beachside

Other: Coral and Green Sparkle Lawn Trimmings

Sweet Treats

Hey everyone, Samantha here! I have a very sweet card to share with you today. These dogs are up to some mischief when their owners are away. With strategic planning and teamwork they were able to snatch the cookie jar off the counter. These cookies are made with carob chips instead of chocolate chips, so no upset tummies here! Hopefully they will get rid of the evidence before their owners return. 

I used a variety of Lawn Fawn supplies to create my scene. The dogs are from the "Critters at the Dog Park" stamp set. The cookies and jar are from the "Milk and Cookies" stamp set. "Sweater Weather" and "Let's Polka" petite paper packs where used to create my background.

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

Clean and Simple Valentines

Hi, Lawnscapers! It's Suzanne from the Facebook Inspiration Team and I'm sharing some clean and simple-style Valentine's Day cards today! 

I started with this full-sized card that I made with Lawn Fawn's Milk and Cookies stamp set:

This inspired me to create mini valentine cards in the same style:

After making the first one with the Whale You Be Mine set, I made a few more with the My Silly Valentine stamp set and some Let's Polka paper:

After coloring the images, I finished each card by flipping it over and stamping the sentiment on the back. All that's left is to write in the names and to give the card to someone special!

(Each mini card measures 3 inches by 4 inches, compared to the larger card, which measures 4.25 inches by 5.5 inches.) The mini cards are also a great size for pocket-style scrapbooking!

Sweet Wishes from the Hedgehugs

Hi Lawnscapers, Roxanne here! I've got a cute little card today that I made for a bridal shower I attend this past weekend. She has a HUGE heart for animals, so I chose the adorable new Lawn Fawn set, Hedgehugs for this card. I LOVE it.

And here is the card:

I inked up the two hedgehogs and stamped them with Memento in Tuxedo Black onto my white card stock I used for coloring. I then stamped all those little hearts as well from the same Hedgehugs set. I colored them in using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I added the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Milk & Cookies set in St. Valetine from my Staz-On Midi ink pad. I took my black Spica pen and added a glittery black dot over the "i" in wishes and on their little noses. The cheeks on the hedgehogs were colored in with my Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils. Adds just a sweet little element to the love for this card.

I cut that out in a large rectangle and adhered that to my kraft base. I then took the heart paper from the Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather 6x6 Paper Pad and cut those into strips and used them on the top and bottom of the card. I added a row of large pearls and the front is complete!

Now I did something special on the inside of the card. Since I was giving the couple cash for a gift, I don't like just sticking that into the card because when you open a card, it ALWAYS falls out. I decided to make a little pocket to hold the money. So simple and I think I'm doing this all the time for anything I give cash, check or a gift card. You can get creative too with how you present that inside the card! This was just a quick and fun way to do this.

I took the same kraft card stock as my base and cut it to the width of the card (4.25"). I then cut it to 3" tall and took a circle punch and punched out a half circle in the center so that it's easy to snag the money out of there. Plus, it's cute! I used the For You sentiment from the Lawn Fawn, Love You a Latte set and inked it up with Memento, Tuxedo Black and added the little heart in the St. Valentine/Staz-On red from that set as well. 

PHOTOSHOP TIP: I found this out while editing the images for this post. I took another photo of the pocket straight on with the cash sticking out of it just like this, but Photoshop wouldn't let me edit it! There was a pop-up window that appeared saying that it could not be used because the image featured a banknote. So a tip to you if you're photographing something like this, take it on an angle or my husband suggested using Monopoly money. Ha! Just be sure to swap it out before giving the card ;)
