Deck the Halls & Stitched Snow Flakes--LF Inspiration Week

Today Lawn Fawn is featuring two more awesome items from their newest collection, for inspiration week. We're using the set Deck the Halls to create some really awesome samples, as well as the Stitched Snow Flakes dies set. I love that this stamp set comes in a smaller size--which means it's a great price but it still has all of these fun elements needed to create a beautiful card. Deck the Halls would be a great set this year for mass producing your Christmas cards; namely, because you could create amazing one layer cards with this set. But, if you'd like something more intricate LF has also created the matching die set, too.

The Stitched snow flakes die set is up there on my top five favorite die sets from this new collection--it's so beautiful cut out onto plain white paper; however, if you were to cut these snow flakes onto pattern paper or glitter paper the results would look even more amazing. I used the largest of the dies from this set to create this frosty treat bag. I think it's gorgeous and I cant' wait to make many more for the the upcoming holidays.

Love You a Latte & Rectangles--Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week

I created this lovely card using the new stamp set, Love You A Latte and it's coordinating dies. I love that this set is so versatile. You could use these set to create gift tags for handmade hot cocoa kits, tea tags, adorable greeting cards and so much more! You'll also notice the stitched edge detail on both the panels on this card; namely, because I used the Large Rectangle dies to make, making this card a cinch. To go with the whole coffee/latte/tea theme I also used some watercolors to create the look of of a coffee stain in the background, and I used some LF sequins from an older collection to embellish the card for some added interest.

Sending you Monster Hugs

Today I have a fun video on the Lawn Fawn blog and Youtube channel. I'm using distress inks to create this awesome watercolor "Sending you Monster hugs" card. Click the video below for details and links to the products that were used.
I hope you enjoyed the video, and I can't wait to share my next project with you! If you have any questions about the process or the products please feel free to leave me a comment below. Thank you so much for watching. 

Sending Hedgehugs

I had so much fun creating this card! I was one of those times where I just needed to stop when I was doing and create something new, fun, and just for me. At times I tend to get a bit bored when creating the same things over and over again for my shop--I do love what I do, though. I'm not really complaining, but if you're a crafter, too, I'm sure you can understand what I mean, hehe.

To create this card I used the stamps set, hedgehugs, along with it's coordinating dies--by Lawn Fawn. To create the triangle look at the bottom and top of the card I used the stamp set, argyle backdrops with some gold embossing. I also used some Tim Holtz watercolor card stock and some of the my Tim Hotlz distress markers in: shabby shutters, weathered wood, tattered rose, victorian velvent, and frayed burlap--to create the watercolor background panel. I stamped the cute hedgehog images in some versafine black ink (which is a ink perfect for use with watercolors--no bleeding). For the text bubble I used one of the dies form the set, chit chat, and stamped the sentiment using black ink. The tag was also created using a LF die, and paper from the new, Sweater Weather collection. Lastly, the sequins in, Lemon Meringue, Marshmallow, and Pink blush were by Pretty Pink Posh.

I just adore how this card turned out, and I can't wait to make many more like it--when I have some more time. I hope you enjoyed this post and feel free to leave me a comment!

Have a great weekend!

Best Witches Shaker Card

Today I thought it would be fun to share a shaker card I made over the holiday weekend. I was so happy to have such a long weekend so that I could get creative with all of my new Lawn Fawn stamps! Since I've already made a Christmas card I thought it would be fun to creative something festive for the Halloween since it's next month, already. To create this card I used the new stamp set, Spooktacular, along with it's coordinating dies. For the window and card panel of the shaker card I used the new, large stitched rectangle stackables dies--as well as the, stitched hillside border dies to create the black hills. Overall I have to say this card came out really cute and I love how just one stamp set can make such a cute impression--with all of it's fun images and adorable sentiments. I hope you love this card as much as I do!

It Moose be Love

This card is yet another example of just how versatile Lawn Fawn stamps are. I used a Christmas theme set, Critters in the Arctic, to create this lovey-dovey card for my boyfriend (I hope he doesn't see this before I give it to him, hehe). I also used the new, Lawn Fawndamentals notecards—in walnut, to create this mini card; and, it couldn't be more perfect. These new cards sold by Lawn Fawn make card making that much easier. For the white panel I used the 4” x 2.75” die from the new LF die set, small stitched rectangle stackables and I seriously love these! It’s like—no more measuring and fussing—just die cut and you have a perfect panel with a cute stitched detail.

I also used some of the Pretty Pink Posh sequins in, Sand, for this card and I felt that this color matched perfectly with the brown tones I was using for this card. If you noticed in the image below this stamp set has many holiday accents in it, for instance, it has the variety of snow flakes, and a snow bunny with a cute little scarf, but you can see and imagine how you could also use these critters in so many other ways, too. I just love that!

With the Lawn Ornaments I like how you can use the flair to embellish your project and it adds so much charm; and, to make things even more easier for us busy crafters LF has also came out with the coordinating die set for, Critters in the Arctic.

I hope you are super excited for this amazing release! Lawn Fawn has really blown us all away with all of the awesomeness that is due to be released for sale this month on the 28th!
