Eggstra special Easter

 I started with a panel of Lawn Fawn’s Ballet Slippers cardstock, cut with their Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I stamped the sentiment from Eggstra Special Easter, also by Lawn Fawn, with Versafine Onyx Black ink at the top. I stamped the bunnies and basket from the same set with Jet Black ink and colored them with Copic markers. The egg was cut from vellum with the Outside In Easter Egg Stackables. I glued the basket to the vellum and the vellum to the card, and popped the bunnies up with foam squares.

Happy Birthday!

 

Happy birthday to Lawn Fawn and me! Lawn Fawn is turning sixteen, and well, let’s just say I’m considerably older. This card uses the Giant Birthday Messages stamp & die set, as well as the birthday incentives from 2022-2025, Party Pig, Party Deer, Party Beaver, and Party Cat(Party Fox arrived too late to join in this year.) The images were colored with a mix of Copic markers and Pigma Micron pens, as well as a Pentel Sunburst Metallic Gel for the gold. The center message was mounted on gold cardstock on thin foam squares, and the animals on standard foam squares. Happy birthday to everyone who celebrates this month!

Rainbow wishes

 For the Lawn Fawnatics challenge #215 All Things Rainbow, I created this card using the Lawn Fawn Corner Rainbow and Rainy Sky stencils, as well as cloud and sparkle stencils I got when I took one of their classes. I used Hippo, Pink Flamingo, Sunflower, Jalapeño, Peacock, and Sugarplum inks. The unicorn and sentiment are from the My Rainbow set and colored with Copic markers RV21, YR16, Y13, G05, B14, and BV 13. Crystal Stickles were applied to the unicorn’s horn and hooves, and it was popped up on a foam square.

Watching the tide roll away

 This card is an entry into the Lawn Fawnatics challenge #214-Inspired by a book, movie, or song. I chose the song “The Dock of the Bay” and ink blended a sunset and its reflection using No. 2 Pencil, Fake Tan, Chili Pepper, Sugarplum, Blue Jay, and Black Licorice inks. I cut a piece of Light Brown Woodgrain cardstock for the dock, and used the Friends Furever incentive stamp set for the cats, sun, and birds. A few tiny stars from my stash finished the scene. A peaceful scene in this hectic world.

Love you lots!

 This card was inspired by the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge, Lots of Heart! I used the Valentines Hearts Border die set with Peacock, Blue Jay, Raspberry, Chili Pepper, Fake Tan, Sunflower, Noble Fir, and white cardstock, then mounted the rows of hearts on Licorice cardstock. The sentiment is from Wavy Sayings, stamped in Jet Black ink and cut out with a Simple Wavy Banners die. Some of the hearts were accented with Crystal Stickles.

Never too early for Christmas cookies!

 An entry for the Lawn Fawnatics Christmas in July challenge. Using Lawn Fawn's Platform Pop-up die, How You Bean and the Christmas Cookie add on stamps and dies, and their Stripes and Sprinkles paper. The sentiment is from the Simply Winter Sentiments, stamped in Noble Fir ink. The other images are stamped in Jet Black ink and colored with Copic markers.

Have a Happy Day!

 This little bear is properly dressed for sliding down rainbows! This card was created for a Lawn Fawn color challenge using the four colors you see in the rainbow plus the yellow of the sun. I ink blended the background in Distress Ink Tumbled Glass, and then used Distress Oxides in Broken China, Prize Ribbon, Wilted Violet, and Picked Raspberry for the rainbow and Squeezed Lemonade for the sun. The little bear is from Lawn Fawn's Beary Rainy Day stamp set and was colored with Copic markers and cut out with the coordinating die. The sentiment is from the same set. I finished off the card with some sequins from Trinity Stamps.

Yeti, set, shake!

 This adorable yeti from Yeti, Set, Go by Lawn Fawn just wants to know if he can hug you! I stenciled the backgrounds with Broken China Distress Oxide and the Lawn Fawn Snow Flurries stencil, then went over the whole paper with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added some silver splatters. I use the largest Large Stitched Rectangle to cut out the top and bottom of the shaker, and also cut a scrap of Pixie Dust cardstock with the rectangle and then with the Slimline Stitched Hillside border die. The trees are also from Yeti, Set, Go, and they and the yeti were colored with Copic markers after stamping with Lawn Fawn's Jet Black ink. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the yeti shimmers with a coat of Wink of Stella clear. The shaker bits are from Trinity Stamps and the sentiment from Yeti, Set, Go was stamped on an Everyday Sentiment Banner made from a scrap from cutting out the card itself.

Hoping that if you don't have a yeti, you have someone to hug you and keep you warm during this cold weather.

Kitten's Christmas

I've had this card in mind since I saw the Platform Pop-Up and Christmas Dreams. It also includes the kitties from Purrfectly Wicked, although they aren't wicked here, they're getting ready for Christmas! All images are colored with Copic markers and the platform is made from the Let it Shine paper pack. The sentiment is from the Winter Scripty Sentiments. 

Fall Fun!

 Using Lawn Fawn's platform pop-up and add-on, I created this fall scene. The hedgehog is going to undo all the cat's hard work when he lands in that leaf pile! And the fox is just peeking out to watch the aftermath. Other stamp sets used were Purrfectly Wicked, Jump for Joy, and Into the Woods. The images were colored with Copic markers.

Paper pieced pumpkins

 This is from the Lawn Fawn fall/winter release. The pumpkins and wagon are done with their red/orange canvas card stock and black licorice outline using their adhesive sheets to hold the pieces in place. I used Watercolor Wishes paper for the sky and grass, which was cut with the Grassy Hillside border and a  Small Stitched Rectangle. I then cut a Large Stitched Rectangle from some Fall Fling paper and mounted the smaller rectangle using foam tape. The sentiment is from Simply Celebrate Fall.

Shades of orange

This card is an entry in Lawn Fawn's monochrome challenge. I chose to ink a background with Distress Ink in Spiced Marmalade and then stencil with the same shade in Distress Oxide using the Fall Leaves Background stencil. The pumpkins and sentiment are from the Simply Celebrate Fall stamp set. The pumpkins were colored with Copic markers and I inked the background of the sentiment, then cut it out with the Everyday Sentiment Banners die.

I'm back!

 

I certainly didn't mean to go nearly a month without posting, but being out of town and sick messed up my posting schedule. Here's a family of bears to make up for it. They're making the best of a grey day in their colorful coats, boots, and umbrella, and the little one is certainly enjoying her puddle jumping. The raindrops were created using Lawn Fawn's Fairy Dust stencil paste and their Rainy Sky stencil. I also used Lawn Fawn's Grass stencil and their Freshly Cut Grass ink for the grass, and their Manatee ink for the sky. The Beary Rainy Day stamp set is also Lawn Fawn's and was colored with Copic markers. Finally, I stamped the sentiment on a Simple Wavy Banner, also from Lawn Fawn, bending the Make a Splash sentiment to fit the banner.

Puns are fun!

 My family is full of very punny people, so this card will be perfect for someone's birthday. Made for Lawn Fawn's Birthday challenge, it features their Perfectly Plaid paper, Mermaid cardstock, Merman ink, and the Year Five stamp set.

I Heart You card

This card was created for the Lawn Fawnatics challenge #119, which was a sketch challenge.

I cut their Sunflower, Guava, and Mermaid cardstock with the stitched heart from the Foursquare Landscape Backdrop. I then punched smaller hearts from the same colors and adhered them all with Lawn Fawn's Glue Tube. For the sentiment I cut a strip of Guava cardstock and heat embossed the "I Heart You" sentiment from the Simply Celebrate Hearts stamp set with white embossing powder. I added a few sequins for accents. A simple yet fun card for anytime someone you love needs a pick me up.
