MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 482

Hi All!

Every Wednesday on the My Favorite Things blog they post a new sketch challenge. This week's challenge was to use Sketch 482.

For this challenge I decided to do a thinking of you card so I stamped out the animals out of the SY Kissing Booth stamp set. Each critter had a little extra thing on them; the owl was holding a heart, the  bunny had a flower near her ear and the bear had a bowtie on. I coloured each of these red to connect all the critters together as a group. I stamped out a banner to add the first half of my sentiment to, the second half of my sentiment is on the inside of the card. I also diecut the green circle for behind the critters to help them stand out from the background.

Inside -

Supplies Used: Kraft Cardstock, White Smooth Cardstock, Black Cardstock, MFT Stamps (SY Kissing Booth, All About You), MFT Dies (All About You), Lawn Fawn Stamps (Bannerific), Lawn Fawn Paper (Knock On Wood - Dark Brown, Really Rainbow Christmas - Green Holly), Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Pop Dots, Memento Black Ink, Various Copic Markers

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #73 - Birthday!

Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #73 was extended to three weeks. The challenge this time was to celebrate birthdays. Lawn Fawn is celebrating their 10th birthday this year and the Lawn Fawnatics challenge blog is celebrating their 3rd year with this challenge.

For this challenge I decided to use one of the newly released stamp sets to help celebrate Lawn Fawn's birthday. The stamp set I used is Really High Five with the bear and bunny flying high in the air on balloons. Using a mixture of the cloud stencil and mini cloud stencil from My Favorite Things I created the sky background.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Kraft Cardstock, Lawn Fawn stamps (Really High Five), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peacock Feathers), Memento Black Ink, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube

Autumn Splendour

Hi All!

Every two (or sometimes three) weeks the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog has a new challenge. This week's challenge is Awesome Autumn.

For the challenge I wanted to create a thank you card. Lawn Fawn has this really cute stamp set with a bushel of apples in a basket. Using Lawn Fawn paper and the cute apple set I created a "Thanks A Bushel" card.

Stamptember - Lawn Fawn

Hi All!

Every September the Simon Says Stamp company has what they call Stamptember where the release limited time exclusive stamps with different stamp companies. Some of the companies that are part of Stamptember this year are Lawn Fawn, Tim Holtz, Mama Elephant, Newton's Nook, Honey Bee and more. Usually each day there is a new stamp (and sometimes a stamp & die combo) released.

On the Simon Says Stamp blog they post the new stamp set, some samples and a challenge using the stamp company of the day. I decided to play along with the Lawn Fawn challenge because I love Lawn Fawn and have a bunch of their stamps. So I created a set of three tags that can be added to a treat bag or even a card.

A Treat For You Tags (Set of 3 Tags) -

Supplies Used: Lawn Fawn Dies (Say What? Gift Tags, Say What? Pets - speech bubble); Lawn Fawn Stamps (Duh - Nuh; Seahorsin' Around, So Jelly, Say What? Pets); White Cardstock; Memento Black Ink; Copic Markers; Taylored Expressions Stencil (Go With The Flow); Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Blue); Pop Dots

Hi All!

The My Favorite Things Camp Create 2019 is back for the second session for this summer! Each day they bring in a new camp activity for everyone to play along with. With each new challenge you can earn a new camp badge while taking your card making up a notch. For day 4 the challenge was Monochromatic Magic.

I struggled with this challenge because I love colour and love the rainbow effect. But when I went to create this card I decided to use blue to create a card that could put a smile on someone's face.
