Tag You're It Challenge #85--HAPPY EASTER

Are you ready? We're hoppin' into the next Tag You're It Challenge!

Here's the theme for  Challenge #85--EASTER.

And here's my tag, compliments of Lawn Fawn.  I am totally in love with that bunny!

Nearly all the dies came from Lawn Fawn's Shadow Box Card Spring Time
Add-On. The "grass" was part of a label die that I lengthened to fit the tag.
An older Lawn Fawn sentiment and green and white twine finished off the tag.

We'd love to see your Easter-themed tags in the gallery! Link up your tag(s) by

Wednesday, April 24th at 9AM EST. The winner will join us on a future challenge!
Thanks for stopping by!

Sending Warm & Cozy Hugs

I managed to make another card for the Fall/Winter 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

This time, I paired Concord & 9th and Lawn Fawn products.
 

I stamped one of the hipster girls on kraft card stock and did minimal coloring

and highlights with colored pencils and a white pigment pen. In keeping with

the coffee theme, I added a to-go cup with a mitten over the image.

I'm wondering if I can possibly squeeze in another card?

Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies used:

Concord & 9th Winter Wear Bundle

Lawnscaping One Layer Challenge

I'm squeezing this under the wire for Lawnscaping Challenge 89--One Layer--
to create a one layer card.

Here's my card. I was so excited to finally ink up Lawn Fawn's Hello Baby stamp set
and that adorable little bunny. And umbrella.

All the images were colored with Copics and I added a few extra details 

with a white pigment pen, shine from an Aqualip pen, and glaze 

from a Wink of Stella pen. I wish you could see it.

Thanks, always, for stopping by!

More Lawn Fawn Leaves

Blogging friend Dawn Turley encouraged me to enter this card

over at Die Cut Diva's since this month's theme is Autumn or Animals.

I had enough leaves to create two more cards and decided to enter the challenge.

Here are the cards, made with leftover leaves.
 

 

I love the mixed font sentiments from Jane's Doodles and I LOVE
Lawn Fawn's Stitched Leaves dies. Can you tell?

Thanks for stopping by!

Thankful Leaves

After watching Lawn Fawn's Kelly Marie share her new leaf dies here,
I was inspired to play with them and created a card.

I think I'll enter this in Moxie Fab World's Handmade Cards: Color Media Challenge
just under the wire.

I die cut the set of leaves on several colors of Avery Elle cardstock

and ink distressed them with Wild Honey and Walnut Stain distress inks. 

I tried to form them as if they were floating down and the sentiment

is from Jane's Doodles.

And yes, I die cut pink and blue leaves! By the time they were ink distressed,

they took on colors of their own. A bit whimsical, perhaps, but I love 

how vibrant it looks.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Summer Card Camp--Week 1

Summer Card Camp 2011 has begun! Check out this week's fun, summery colors.

Here's my card using Lawn Fawn's Sew Lovely stamp set and My Mind's Eye papers. I took the route that Kristina shared on gathering papers with the challenge colors first. I was so happy to find perfect color matches in the Fly a Kite and Happy Go Lucky paper pads. 

The dress form was stamped on some Basic Grey papers. I also used Martha Stewart's hydrangea border punch and placed an orange gemstone on the dress form. The sentiment was embossed with white detail powder.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you're having a great week...

Lawnscaping Challenge #11 - CAS

Lawnscaping's Challenge #11 is CAS--Clean and Simple. I've been CAS-ing a lot lately, and I love it!

For my card, I used Just My Type, a set of stamps that I won for Lawnscaping's Challenge #3. It's the first time I've inked it up. Chalk up another stamp set that finally touched some ink.

I stamped and colored the telephone and then stamped "hello" in three different colors on the bottom. I tied a bit of twine, rounded the corners and the card was done.

CAS makes me happy. I hope you're all having a happy weekend!

Stamps: Lawn Fawn Just My Type
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink

Lawnscaping Challenge #9 -- Let's Party!

Here's a closer look at one of the cards (made with salvaged pieces!) that I shared in yesterday's blog post. I'm also entering it in the party themed challenge at Lawnscaping.

I first stamped the background with Hero Arts' Large Canvas Stripes and used some Spellbinder Nestabilities to die cut the large and scallop circles for the base of the card. I just love the newest Lawn Fawn critters, especially the cute hedgehog, and decided she was the perfect size for a small card.

I reattached the pennant flags and gave the hedgie a little party hat from the Hats Off to You set. I used a salvaged cupcake and added a little candle from the Bake Me a Cake set. The sentiment is from Just My Type Too. Party on, hedgie!

I've been on such a kraft kick lately. Part of the reason is a dear friend gave me tons of it (Thanks, Phyllis!) since her niece was doing some housecleaning, and I just love the way colors pop against it.

You'll be seeing a lot more kraft because my Purple Onions order just arrived and I can't wait to share more cards with you.

Thanks, always, for stopping by! Hope you're off to a great week...

I used Poppystamps' Bobby Bird, paired with some Brioche papers from Memory Box. To make the banner, I punched out circles from the same Brioche paper and cut them in half, then stamped HELLO, using Lawn Fawn's Harold's ABCs. (The twine was recycled from a Lawn Fawn stamp order. Thanks, Kelly Marie!)
