Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #189 - Lots of Heart

 Hi All!

Every two weeks the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog releases a new challenge. This is the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge ...

When I saw the inspiration post for the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge I knew I had to post a submission to the challenge. I was inspired by the falling heart effect in the top right corner and all the red hearts the post. 

I just got the new panda stamp set for Christmas and have been waiting for the perfect chance to use it. I wanted to create a cute wedding card with the two pandas plus all the hearts. I used the lots of heart stencil from My Favourite Things before creating a cute panda scene in front of the hearts,

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #120 - All Things Birthday

  Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #120 is called All Things Birthday.

During the pandemic I started creating and sending out birthday cards to some of my family then I realized that I have a lot of family members and that I'm glad I didn't start this with my whole family. I don't get to see the joy on people's faces when they get my cards very often. But during the pandemic the family members who were now receiving these cards we were "seeing" over zoom more regularly than before and I got to see the joy and excitement they had when they knew they had a "Laurie Card" in their hands. I love the feeling of joy and excitement a handmade card can bring to a person's face when they realize that someone loves them enough to create something just for them.

I wanted to create a card that would be cute for anyone no matter what age. I used the Bubbles of Joy and the Scripty Bubble Sentiments stamp sets to create all the bubbles on the background. I used Peacock Feathers Distress Ink on the Teal Color Vibe paper. I love the look of the large bubble with the mouse in it that I wanted to use it to create a birthday card so I added a little party hat to the mouse. 

Supplies: White Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Bubbles of Joy, Scripty Bubble Sentiments, Birthday Koala), Simple Stories Color Vibe (Teal), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peacock Feathers), Tape Runner, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #119 - Card Sketch

Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #119 is called Card Sketch.

I love getting to make thinking of you cards almost as much as I love making birthday and holiday cards. In the new Lawn Fawn release there was a stamp set called Better Days with a bunny holding a heart and lots of great sentiments. Using the card sketch from this Lawn Fawnatics challenge and the Better Days stamp set I wanted to create a nice thinking of you card that would bring some joy to someone's life when they need it most. 

I flipped the sketch to better fit the way the bunny was sitting. Using Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry distress inks and the Taylored Expressions Mini Slim Swiss Hearts stencil I created a really cool background. After creating the background I added the sentiment banner, bunny holding a heart and a lot of little hearts (in 3 different sizes) to finish creating this really cute thinking of you card.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Better Days, Bubbles of Joy, Berry Special), Memento Black Ink, Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry), Taylored Expressions Stencil (Mini Slim - Swiss Hearts), Tape Runner, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

   Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #118 is called Clean and Simple.

When the Peppermint Stripes Backdrop was released during the Lawn Fawn Winter release I loved it. I love that it doesn't just have to be used only during the holiday season but can be used all year round. Using the black & gold background I add a jar of stars and a little mouse that is celebrating to create a graduation card. I love the colour scheme for this card as it keeps it simple but elegant.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Black Cardstock, Gold Glitter Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (You Autumn Know, How You Bean?, How You Bean? Star Add-On, Bubbles of Joy), Lawn Fawn Dies (Peppermint Stripes Backdrop), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #118 - Clean & Simple

  Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #118 is called Clean and Simple.

Every holiday season I create holiday cards to be sent to family and friends of the family. Normally my Mom and I both create cards to send out. This year we decided to start our holiday card stash early. 

I love snowflake stencils ... not sure why but I do. The Snowflake Trio stencil from Lawn Fawn is always a favourite of mine because there are three sizes to choose from and so many different backgrounds you can create with it. I used 3 distress inks to create an ombre effect with the largest snowflake in the stencil. I also stamped the Let It Snow sentiment in black over the centre of the snowflake.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Blue Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Snow Bunnies for Simon Says Stamp),  Lawn Fawn Stencil (Snowflake Trio), Memento Black Ink, Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon), Tape Runner

Thanks Laurie

  Hi All!

For this challenge I created a cute thinking of you card with the Dandy Day Flip Flop stamp set. I love this stamp set for this project as usually when you blow on this type of plant your making a wish and in this case it would be a wish of being able to get together again.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Dandy Day Flip Flop), Lawn Fawn Paper (Shimmer Cardstock - Tropical), Lawn Fawn Die (Stitched Hillside Borders), Scallop Die, Circle Die, Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

For this challenge I wanted to use the ants from the Crazy Antics stamp set and the the line of watermelons from the Simply Celebrate Summer to create a fun summer card. This card could be given a thinking of you or even a birthday card. I also used the Salvaged Patina Distress Ink that was released earlier this year to create a nice background for the stamped images.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #98 - Happy Spring

Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #98 is called Happy Spring.

I loved the flowers in the vase image in the challenge prompt that I wanted to create a flower arrangement to brighten someone's day. I am not a huge fan of flower arrangements as I am scent sensitive. I think they look pretty but I have a hard time with them being in my space so I thought that one made with paper and copies could be just as pretty & thoughtful as real flowers. I liked the sentiment of "Sunshine to brighten your day!" as a play on the word sunshine and the sunflower. 

 

Supplies: White Cardstock, Blue Cardstock, Gold Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Our Friendship Grows, Butterfly Kisses Flip Flop, All The Clouds), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Thanks Laurie

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #97 - Inspired By Book, Movie or Song Part 2

    Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #97 is called Inspired By Book, Movie or Song.

For this challenge I was inspired by the song Octopus's Garden by the Beatles on the Abby Road album. 

The Ocean Shell-ife stamp set is perfect for creating the Octupus's Garden under the sea with a large octopus, jellyfish, fish, seaweed, rocks and clams. I really wanted to use the seaweed and rocks to bring the octopus's garden to life with a few friends to create a party. 

Supplies: White Cardstock, Kraft Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Ocean Shell-ife), Lawn Fawn Die (Stitched Hillside Borders), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peacock Feathers, Vintage Image), MFT Stencil (Making Waves), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #97- Inspired By Book, Movie or Song

 Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #97 is called Inspired By Book, Movie or Song.

For this challenge I was inspired by The Aristocats movie with the family of cats taking a family portrait at the end of the movie. I loved this movie when I was a kid. 

With my inspiration in mind I used the Meow You Doin' and Say What? Pets to create the family of cats from the Aristocats. I stamped the cat images and started colouring each cat to look like one of the main characters. I wanted to use the the Aristocats cat family to create an adorablely cute birthday card. 

Supplies: White Cardstock,  Lawn Fawn Stamp (Meow You Doin', Say What? Pets, Critter Chatter: Pets), Lawn Fawn Paper (Perfectly Plaid Remix - Jessica Remix), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Hickory Smoke), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #96 - Birthday Part 3

   Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #96 is called Birthday.

I have been enjoying making Mini Slim cards so I decided to create another birthday card in that size. This time I decided to use the Let's Go Nuts stamp set with a squirrel pulling a little red wagon full of birthday gifts. I used some circle dies and some Lawn Fawn paper to create a cloudy day scene for the squirrel and his little red wagon before using some teal cardstock to create a border around the scene. I added some butterflies flying behind and in front of the squirrel and the wagon to make it look like they are walking across the card.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Teal Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Let's Go Nuts, Home For The Holidays, Butterfly Kisses Flip Flop), Lawn Fawn Paper (Watercolour Wishes - Four Leaf Clover, Into The Woods Remix - Spruce Remix), Dies (Circles), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Thanks Laurie

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #96 - Birthday Part 2

   Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #96 is called Birthday.

For this card I wanted to try out some new goodies that I got from the new Lawn Fawn spring collection. With that thought I used the new Butterfly Kisses Flip Flop and Scripty Bubble Sentiments to create the scene. When the new Lawn Fawn spring collection was released I thought that the Butterfly Kisses Flip Flop stamp set was really adorable and would make a cute card when paired with pieces from the Scripty Bubble Sentiments and Bubbles of Joy. 

Using the new Lawn Fawn spring collection goodies I created a cute spring day scene card with the fox from Butterfly Kisses Flip Flop stamp set. For the background I covered a white piece of cardstock with the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Peacock Feathers distress ink before using a circle stencil and the Lawn Fawn Yeti to create bubbles. I also used the stitched hillside borders to create a grassy area for the fox to be running along. For the main sentiment I used the Smile from the new Scripty Bubble Sentiment and The Sky's The Limit from the Bubbles of Joy stamp sets.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Green Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Butterfly Kisses, Scripty Bubble Sentiments, Bubbles of Joy), Lawn Fawn Ink (Yeti), Lawn Fawn Dies (Stitched Hillside Borders), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peacock Feathers), Stencil (Homemade Two Scrapbook Friends Circles), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Tape Runner, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #96 - Birthday

  Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #96 is called Birthday.

Taylored Expressions has this new card size called Mini Slim. The Mini Slim card size is a nice size to work with if you're not ready to make Slimline cards, like me. I haven't been ready to try out making Slimline cards so I thought I would try out the Mini Slim card size for this card idea instead of the normal A2 size. 

For this card I wanted to try out some new goodies that I got from the new Lawn Fawn spring collection. With that thought I used the new Bubbles of Joy and Scripty Bubble Sentiments to create the scene. When the new Lawn Fawn spring collection was released I was really excited to get the Bubbles of Joy and play with the new stamp set as the mice and the bubbles are super adorable in this collection. 

With all the new goodies from the Lawn Fawn spring collection I stamped out all the images needed for the card before starting on the background. For the background I used the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Peacock Feathers to cover the page before using the Lawn Fawn Yeti ink and circle stencil to create a sky background with bubbles. I also used the stitched hillside borders to create a grassy area for one of the mice to be blowing bubbles along the bottom of the card. For the main sentiment I used the Happy Birthday To You stamps from the new Scripty Bubble Sentiment.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Green Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Bubbles of Joy, Scripty Bubble Sentiments), Lawn Fawn Ink (Yeti), Lawn Fawn Dies (Stitched Hillside Borders), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peacock Feathers), Stencil (Homemade Two Scrapbook Friends Circles), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Tape Runner, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #92 - Outstanding Occasions Part 2

 Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #92 is called Outstanding Occasions.

For this challenge I created a second gender neutral baby card. I love the little clothes in the Little Bundle stamp set but I don't get a chance to use it as often a would like. I wanted to stay with the same idea as my first baby card but chance up the layout of the card. I used the mustard seed distress ink and the Starry Sky stencil to create the background on the pale yellow cardstock.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Yellow Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Little Bundle, Scripty Sayings), Lawn Fawn Paper (Perfectly Plaid - Spring), Lawn Fawn Stencil (Starry Sky), MFT Stencil (Mini Clouds), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Mustard Seed, Speckled Egg), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Thanks Laurie

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #92 - Outstanding Occasions

 Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #92 is called Outstanding Occasions.

For this challenge I created a gender neutral baby card. I love the little clothes in the Little Bundle stamp set so I wanted to create a clothes line with a few items that could be used for a neutral baby card. I also love how the Lawn Fawn stamp sets can be used together as I used the "All You Need Is Love" sentiment from the new Special Delivery stamp set and the "(And More Laundry)" sentiment from the Little Bundle stamp set. 

Supplies: White Cardstock, Yellow Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Special Delivery, Little Bundle), Doodlebug Paper (Special Delivery), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Thanks Laurie

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #91 - New Year

 Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #91 is called New Year.

For this challenge I wanted to use the silver confetti and sparkler idea and create a card that showed the party after the New Years Ball dropped like I have seen on tv from Times Square for many years. To create this effect I stamped out a party hat, balloons and confetti and coloured them in black/gold/silver. I also had them arranged on the card to show them either being thrown in the air or drifting sky ward. 

For the the sentiment I wanted to keep it simple with two speech bubbles. One with the sentiment of "Hello 2021" and the other of party hat. I also used the sketch for this week's challenge on the MFT Blog.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Black Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (A Birdie Told Me, Really High Five), Lawn Fawn Stencil (Starry Night), Lawn Fawn Die (Shutter Card), Memento Black Ink, Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Hickory Smoke), Stickles (Unicorn), Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots

Thanks Laurie

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #87 - Card Sketch Part 2

 Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #87 is called Card Sketch.

For this challenge I couldn't decide between two stamp sets so I created two cards. One is a cute fall card using the Let's Go Nuts stamp set (which is posted in the part 1 post) and the second is a cute winter card using the Snow Bunnies stamp set.

I love the 2019 STAMPtember Snow Bunnies for Lawn Fawn stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. This is the first stamp I ever bought from the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember event. All the elements of this stamp set are super adorable, so much so that most of my Christmas cards last year had cute bunnies on them. I again wanted to create a circle scene in the center of the card but for this card I also added the metal topper and the string so that the circle scene became an ornament to hang in the middle of the card. I thought that the vellum circle around the circle scene helps to give the illusion of a glass ornament with the scene inside.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Blue Cardstock, Kraft Cardstock, Silver Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Snow Bunnies for Lawn Fawn), Lawn Fawn Paper - Let It Shine (red & white stripes) - White Sparkle Paper, Lawn Fawn Die (Forest Border), Lawn Fawn Ink (Yeti), Lawn Fawn Stencil (Snowflake Trio), Circle Die (2), Vellum Paper, Memento Black Ink, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Black Pen

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #87 - Card Sketch

 Hi All!

For this challenge I couldn't decide between two stamp sets so I created two cards. One is a cute fall card using the Let's Go Nuts stamp set and the second is a cute winter card using the Snow Bunnies stamp set, (which is posted in the part 2 post).

I love the new Let's Go Nuts stamp set from Lawn Fawn. The little squirrels are soooo adorable. I created this little scene in the centre of the card using a squirrel pulling a little wagon, pile of nuts and baby squirrel. I love the look of colour on colour backgrounds but I didn't have the same colour of brown to look good on kraft cardstock so I used white ink to stamp 3 other squirrels, the little nut and the little rake from the stamp set to create the background. I also used the little leaves pattern paper from the Into The Woods Remix to round out the design of the card. 

Supplies: White Cardstock, Green Cardstock, Blue Cardstock, Kraft Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Let's Go Nuts), Lawn Fawn Paper - Into The Woods Remix (leaves), Lawn Fawn Die (Forest Border), Lawn Fawn Ink (Yeti), Circle Die Memento Black Ink, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots
