Lawn Fawn, Chibitronics Week

Thank you so much for stopping by! This week the design team is teaming up with Chibitronics to create some awesome cards. These kits are available on the Lawn Fawn blog, here. I had such  good time creating with this kit, it comes with instructions on how to create your very own card using the Chibitronics kit, and it was very easy to follow--in my opinion. I have never used anything like this before and it the instructions where very easy to follow.

If you know me personally you know that I love to be outdoors and I love mountains and hiking. So for this card I used the (relativly) new die set, Stitched Mountain Borders, and to Lawn Fawn card stock: Storm Cloud, Manatee, and Noble Fir to create the mountains the meadow. For the bear images I used the stamp set, Dad + Me, and rather than using the coordinating dies I simply fussy cut the images out. For the trees in the background I used the stamp set, Toboggan together, with the LF ink, Storm cloud. For the fire image I used the stamp set, Love you 'Smore.

To create the constellations background I used a variety of Tim Holtz distress inks, and a white gelly pen; and, when you press on the firefly the Chibitronic lights can be turned on and off.

I hope you enjoyed this card and post, if you would like to view more cards by the DT feel free to head on over to the Lawn Fawn blog by clicking, here. If you have any questions about the products used feel free to leave me a comment and I will reply as soon as possible.

Mom + Me, Lawn Fawn Release Week

Today we are sharing the adorable stamp set, Mom + Me. How adorable is this stamp set with the little mommy owl and fox holding their children?! This stamp set is perfect for Mother's Day and of course could also be used year round, too. There are so many little elements in this stamp set; such as, the grass, florals, butterfly, and tree--just to name a few. I feel in love with this stamp set the moment I saw it and my favorite part of this set is the little stump. I just knew that this stump could be used with all of the other critters in the Lawn Fawn collection.

I definitely can't wait to use this set this mothers day--and all year round to create some cards! I hope you loved the card I created with this set for Inspiration Week but don't forget to also visit the Lawn Fawn blog to view more of the DT creations and watch Kelly's awesome intro video.

NEW! Pizza My heart, Stitched Heart Stackables, and Heart Stackables--Lawn Fawn

There is a new release on the way and it's so amazingly cute--much like all the other releases! They never disappoint when  it comes to creating sets that we can have fun with all year round. The stamp set being featured today is this awesome set, Pizza My Heart, I just love all the different pizza varieties you can create and I was chatting with Kelly Marie, yesterday, about how my favorite part of this set is the single slice of pizza because it looks so yummy and every time I see I want a slice of pizza, hehe! I also love how the single slice if pizza could be used with so many different critters in the Lawn Fawn arsenal. I was going through all of my stamp sets looking for just the right critter and I laughed out loud when I realized how random and cute the little crab from, Life is Good, worked with the pizza slice.

Not only does this set come with an adorable variety of images but, as per usual, this set also comes packed with punny sentiments--that I just love! On this card I used the sentiment, "you have a PIZZA my heart." So cute! If you take a close look at my card you'll also notice that I used the new stitched heart stackables to create this heart window in the card--and there was also a new product used on this card that will be revealed within the week and it coordinates perfectly with the, Scalloped Rectangle Stackables.

Lawn Fawn & Chameleon Pens Week; Day 4

Hello, and welcome! Today the Lawn Fawn designers have teamed up with Chameleon and we are using their awesome, Chameleon Color Tone Permanent Alcohol Markers--these pens work so great and makes blending so simple! What I like about these pens is I'm only using one pen to achieve this blended look; rather than using more than one marker to get the sample type of look. The set that I received from Chameleon is the 5 Pen Pastel Tones Set, which comes with the colors: fawn, warm sunset, bisque, cool gray, and bubble gum. Such great colors that work well with so many critter images and even some floral images as well.

Today I used this set, click here to view the ink pen set, with the Lawn Fawn stamp set, Monster Mash. I just love how I was able to get this ombre look using these pens. I also used the coordinating dies, the Puffy cloud borders, Scalloped Rectangle Stackables, and the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables dies.

Inspiration Week--Oh Snap and Love you a Latke

Welcome to another day of inspiration with Lawn Fawn! Today we are sharing the cards and projects we made using the two sets from the newest collection; Oh Snap and Love you a Latke. Both of these sets are smaller sizes and have coordinating dies! I just love when they have smaller sets because that means they are a cheaper price but what I love is that Lawn Fawn always delivers the cuteness even in the smaller sets! Oh snap is definitely one of my favorite minis right now for Christmas because of the cute ginger bread men, and it's punny sentiment! When creating this card I also used the Christmas pattern paper, Let's Bokeh in the snow--the 6x6 pad includes an array of bright Christmasy colored paper that is perfect for sets like Oh snap but can also work with sets like Love you a Latke with the light blue and creamy tones! Lawn Fawn thinks of everything when it comes to provided us crafters with products that we need--especially for the holiday season!

For a better view at both of these sets and to check out all of the other DT samples head over to the Lawn Fawn blog by, clicking here, you could also watch an intro video and leave a comment for your chance to win a wonderful prize!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and I look forward to tomorrow!

Welcome to another Lawn Fawn Inspiration week! I'm always super excited for LF's new releases and I'm always so happy to share my creations with everyone. When I created this card I couldn't help but do a watercolor background. I used two distress ink colors: Black soot, and Dusty concord. If you take a close look at the cardstock in back of that watecolored panel you'll notice a new shade from the Lawn Fawn paper collection (that will be shown in greater detail during inspiration week). This new stamp set, Booyah, is so cute and has so many different elements to play around with to create the most adorable ghost trick or treaters!

They've also released a set filled with lots of coordinating extras and beautiful calligraphy sentiments--much like the one shown in the image above, click the following link to view that set, Tandem Extras.

I also choose to use the Femme Frames die once again, but I just can't help using it--when I'm making ME cards it's one of the first things that I reach for. I just love it! I also decided to do some more watercoloring for the panel in the background. I only used two distress ink colors and I think the results came out just great. I think this set is just the cutest!

Video--How to Make A Fun Wedding Card

Hooray! I have another video for you. In today's video I'm using the new stamp sets, Owens ABC's and Happy Wedding, to create this wedding card. I wanted to this card to be full of fun colors so I used a watercoloring technique, and also pulled out some of the new Lawn Fawn Ink colors, and some Copic markers for this project. 
Owens ABC's is an amazing stamp set that can be used in so many different ways--it's one of those 'sky's the limit' kind of stamp sets. Which is perfect for us crafters when we want sets that can be used in multiple ways and for many occasions. As mentioned in the video above I spoke about how it would be so fun to create a card with the critters holding letters from, Owens' ABC's, to create a custom sentiment--even in different colors using the new Lawn Fawn inks. Kelly mentioned in the intro video for this set that you could also use these letters to create projects with monograms--how fun would that be?!
I hope you've enjoyed this card and video don't forget to come back to the Lawn Fawn Youtube channel again on the 30th of this month--I'll be creating another video! Thank you so much for stopping by and feel free to ask any questions in the comments! <3

So Many Thanks

Hello everyone! Today I'm super excited to share the card I created using the new stamp set, Charmed. This stamp set is packed with so many whimsical images and coordinating sentiments--this is one of those stamp sets that makes card making so easy because of how great each of the images work together and the sentiment variety means you can use this stamp set to create so many different types of cards and projects. 

I always love using the watercolor technique when using Mama Elephant stamps--that technique always go so nicely with any of their images. I used light yellow cardstock for the card base an the scalloped panel, and used a variety of pastel Copic colors. This little sleeping fox is so adorable! 

I always love thinking of different ways to use my stamps, and I thought that the wreath in this set would be perfect for creating Thanksgiving, and Christmas cards, too. All you'd have to do is color the wreath in according to the holiday you'd use it for and maybe even add a Santa hat to the fox or owl. How cute would that be?! 

I hope you enjoyed this card and thank you so much for stopping by! 

Stamp Highlight, Chance Of Rain--Mama Elephant

Hello! Today we're super excited to be sharing samples for this AMAZING new stamp set, Chance of Rain. Mama Elephant did such a great job with this release and the images and sentiments in this set are just perfect for creating all sorts of cards and projects. Of course I went with the watercolor technique for this card because I wanted to set a rainy little scene and for the little girl, and her teddy I gave them both a traditional yellow rain coat and I think that the yellow goes so well with the gray and blue tones on this card.

The great thing about this set is that ME also sells the coordinating dies so it makes card making that much more easier for us all--and not that we need easier but the faster we can finish a card the quicker we can get to making another one, and another one--am I right?

For a better look at this set and to view all of the other DT samples feel free to, click here, to view them all! I hope you enjoyed my card and thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!

Stamp Highlight, Sunday Sentiments--Mama Elephant

How fun is this new set, Sunday Sentiments?! It's coordinates with, Sunday Stroll, and I'm sure all of your crafters can find other stamp sets to pair it with as well. There are so many wonderful phrases that would be perfect for so many different occasions. I just love this set and I think it's definitely a must have for your stamp collection. I could image using this set on other things as well; such as, tags, and cupcake toppers. Mama Elephant comes out with such great sentiment stamp sets--just love them!

To create this CAS (clean and simple) card I used some Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock, and some Perfect Match cardstock, in Lavender Moon, by Papertrey Ink. I've really been getting into using colored cardstock for cards. I don't know why I've never done it before in the past--but now I'm sure my wallet is going to take a beating since I'm going to be stocking up on many more colors, hehe. I also used the Femme Frames die for the scalloped edges panel, and propped everything up on some 3D foam adhesive. If you notice I used the mirror image technique to get an exact mirror image of the sweet little girl image. I wanted this card to look like they were two besties or sisters. I did some really simple coloring on each girl, and used the "Thank you" and "You make everything so much better" sentiment. I did some simple watercoloring using my distress ink minis in the colors: Spun sugar, Tattered rose, and Picked raspberry. So cute right?!

Well, I hope you enjoyed this card and I hope you fall in love with this stamp set the way I did. There are so many things to create with it, and I just love how happy and positive all of the phrases are. To view more DT samples, head over to the Mama Elephant blog by, clicking here. I hope you have a great day!

Stamp Highlight--Sunday Stroll, Mama Elephant

The June release by Mama Elephant is so adorable! I love every single set that they came out with. Today we are featuring, Sunday Stroll--it's a super cute set with so many little images and elements to create some really fun cards, tags, and all kinds of projects. For this card I wanted to create something really clean and simple (CAS), so I went with creating a really light colored watercolor background, and stamped out the large boy and girl image from this set--as well as two of the trees. I arranged the kids to look like they are holding hands (so cute), and used the banner and sentiment from the set, Charmed. What's great, too, is that these stamp sets also have coordinating dies to make card making that much more simpler for you.

I hope that you enjoyed this card, and if you would like to take a look at all the other DT samples feel free to head over to the ME blog by clicking here to view them. I hope you have a great day!

Small Talk--Mama Elephant Stamp Highlight

Today I have a CAS card created for todays Mama Elephant, Small Talk, stamp highlight. This new stamp set is filled with so many text bubbles and a variety of small little critters to go with them. In this card I also used the puppy image and sentiment from the stamp set, Playful Pups. I used my trusty Copic Markers to color all of the images in and even used a warm gray Copic to create a ground for the critters and puppy image to stand on. To keep everything soft and clean I used a piece of pattern paper and added a bit of twine for some added interest.

I hope you like this card and don't forget you can head over to the ME blog and view all of the other DT samples, for inspiration!

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week--Wheelie Like You

Today I created something a little different compared to all of my pastely and bright cards. I actually found the inspiration for this particular card on Pinterest one day when I was browsing. I thought this would look really sweet on a card using the little critter image from the mini stamp set, Wheelie like you. I love that this card is dark but it's still cute and romantic with the shadow of the moon. If you take a close look at this card you'll notice it's a one layer card. I did a lot of masking and used a variety of distress inks to achieve this look, as well. I think the hardest part of creating this card was having to hand draw the shadows of the guinea pig using a dark gray Copic marker. I also wish that my camera would have picked up on how awesome the moon really looked in person. I did some soft watercoloring to make the moon look life like and neon.

I also had fun using some of the darker pattern papers form the awesome 6x6 Beach Side petite paper pack. That pack of papers has so many great patterns and I love all of the darker hues in that collection.

Lawn Fawn always does such an amazing job of packaging such cute images and sentiments into their mini stamp sets, and this one is no exception. There is so much you can do with this set and if you need a little more inspiration using this set you can ahead over to the Lawn Fawn blog by, clicking here. On their blog you can view all of the DT samples and even leave a comment for a chance to win this set, too!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you were inspired!

Lawn Fawn Inpsiration Week--Stuck On You

Welcome back to my blog for another day of Inspiration! Today I'm sharing this card I created using, Stuck on You, by Lawn Fawn--for their inspiration week. I live in California and I'm a huge fan of music so I thought I'd use this stamp set to create a fun desert scene and I was going for like a Coachella sky for this card, hehe. I colored the entire ground and sky using distress inks, and I did some simply stamping and die cutting for the rest of the card. I really love the simplicity and shadows to give the card some added interest. This card would be great for giving all year round. I just love how you can do that with any of Lawn Fawns stamp sets just by combining them with other stamped images or creating your own sentiments.
