Lawn Fawn Village Box Card

Happy Monday crafty friends! I hope you all had a great weekend mine was crazy busy we just finished a season of dance with a recital. 

We are getting into the busy days of summer. My daughter had a birthday a couple of weeks ago so the card I have to share is the one I gave her. 

I just learned how to make a box card this is my second one. I'm not sure why I took so long to learn they are easy and so much fun. I will be making many more in the future. 

I enjoy just coloring small images and fussy cutting them out when watching t.v. with my family so I always have extra pieces laying around for box cards. 

I cut all of my panels out of Bella Blvd. pattern paper. 

For this card I used Lawn Fawn's Village set I stamped all of the images onto water color paper and colored them in with Arteza real brushes before I fussy cut them out. 

This is a front view of the card. I adhered a white piece of card stock to the back panel so I could write a little message to my daughter and sign the card. I think the back is perfect for a little panel to write on because when the card is displayed that panel is not shown.

Here is a side view. I thought the house paper would go with the little village inside of the card. 

The other side of the card. 

Have a great week I will be back next Monday!

Lawn Fawn Farm Animals Birthday Card.

Happy Monday!

WOW I can't believe we are already into June! 

This week I wanted to play with Lawn Fawn's Hay There stamp set. My daughter wanted a card for her music teacher for her birthday and too say goodbye because she will be teaching at a different school next year. 

I started by stamping all of  the images onto smooth cardstock with Momento black ink which is my favorite to stamp images in that I want to color with alcohol markers it dries fast and doesn't bleed at all with the markers. 

After I colored them all in I fussy cut them out.  I found some pattern green and blue paper to use for the scene with the animals. 

I matted the scene onto soft blue cardstock then onto flower pattern carstock. I made sure the pattern had red I felt it needed more red so the barn was not the only think on the card which was red. 

I don't normally do anything inside of my cards but this time I thought it would be cute to add the little sheep inside and stamp the sentiment "EWE ARE THE BEST" underneath it. 

I add the sentiment "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" on the top above the animals and "FROM THE WHOLE HERD" underneath the animals. I though this sentiment was cute for a teacher from many students in her class. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a great week!

I Have So Mushroom in My Heart For You

Happy Monday crafty friends! 

This week I have a card to share using Lawn Fawn's Oh Gnome stamp set. I started this card out by stamping the largest mushroom on the front of my paper then masking it to stamp the other mushrooms on either side. I then masked the smaller mushrooms and stamped the flowers. 

If masking is new to you I just use a full sticky post-it not stamp the image onto it then fussy cut it out. I fussy cut out as close to the line as I can or even cut the line off. Lawn Fawn images are perfect for masking the lines are very thick and the images are easy to cut out perfect if you are new to masking.

After I stamped the mushrooms and flowers I stamped the adorable gnomes. I masked them off and worked on inking my background. After the inking was done my gnomes looked a little funny to me so I re-masked them and stamped the flowers along the inked grass line.

Another tip if you are masking after you are done masking keep those masks so you can use them on another project! I just stick them to the acetate that the stamps are stored on.   

After I colored all of the images in using alcohol markers I die cut a rectangle with a circle out of the middle to frame my scene. I adhered the red cardstock over the scene using foam tape to add some dimension to the card. 

I stamped part of the sentiment "i have so MUSHROOM" on top of the circle and the other half "in my heart for you" under the circle. I heat set it with white embossing powder. The sentiment stamps are straight so to get a curve from them I used a piece of acetate over my project to shape the stamp then closed my stamp positioner and it picked the stamp up in the curve I wanted. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Make sure and check out the shop for the sale going on now!

 I hope you have a great week!

From The Whole Herd

Hi Crafty Friends! 

Do you ever have a card all set in your head the way you plan on making it and nothing goes right? Well this was one of those cards for me. 

For the card I have to share this Monday I used Lawn Fawn's Hay There stamp set! 

I knew when I started making this card I wanted the animals from the stamp set to be next to each other. I started by stamping the chicken in the front center and masked him off and stamped the goat and pig on either side of him then masked them to stamp the cow and horse.

My plan was to mask the cow and horse and in the background but ended up not liking the background. So after all of the background was inked and I die cut it out I didn't like it at all so I fussy cut the animals out. 

I put foam tape onto the back of the animals and attached to a background and then attached the background to pattern paper with foam tape but didn't like the look of it. This card was not coming together the way I had it pictured at all. But since I had used foam tape I couldn't pull it apart so I ended up fussy cutting the animals out again. 

I really wanted the animals to pop so in the end I adhered them to a very simple pattern paper background matted onto a busy pattern paper. I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock and heat set it with white embossing powder.  

Thanks for stopping by have a great week!

You're The Avocado To My Toast Picture Changer Card

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. 

This weekend I played with Lawn Fawn's  Magic Picture Changer and Lets Toast stamp set. Lawn Fawn's Magic picture changer die set has so many possibilities. I will be playing with that die set so many times. 

I started with an avocado on the front and used the sentiment "YOU'RE THE AVOCADO TO MY TOAST" 

When you pull the tab up you see the avocado with a piece of toast. I then stamped a few hearts on the bottom left corner. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a great week!

Lawn Fawn Turtle Card

Good Morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Our weather was beautiful here. If you have seen my posts on Mondays you know I'm a big fan of Lawn Fawns so it won't come as a surprise that I made a card this week using Lawn Fawn. 

I used the Magic picture changer die I love all of the different ways you can use it for changing pictures I will for sure be using this die many times. I have so many different ideas floating around in my head. For this first card with this die I used the Get well before-n-afters stamp set.  

This little turtle stuck on his back is so cute. 

I stamped the turtle and then masked him to ink the background I added ink in a hill shape and inked a blue sky. For a little interest I stamped some clouds in the sky.

Well when I stamped the turtle standing on his feet I didn't realize it but I stamped him a little high up so I just went with it. I added some flowers on the hill. 

I like the sentiment "Hope you're back on your feet soon" it's cute and can be used for many reasons. 

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great Monday!

Happy Easter Card Set

Hi crafty friends! I'm back again this Monday morning to share a  couple cards made with the Lawn Fawns Easter Party stamps set. 

For all three cards I used Lawn Fawns Celebration Scripty Sentiments stamp set. I will be using this sentiment set alot. I love how it fits across a A2 card perfectly. For all three cards I stamped them with black Versafine ink and heat set glitter embossing powder on them. All of the images I stmaped onto water color paper with Versafine black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored them all in with Arteza Real Brush markers and fussy cut them out.

This first card I die cut a large stitched rectangle out of yellow pattern paper and adhered it to a 5 1/5"X 4 1/4" card base. For some thing bold I die cut a smaller rectangle out of bold black polka dot pattern paper. 

I adhered three flower girls and attached a row of flowers in front of them. Then I attached the sentiment below the flowers to finish of the card.

The second card was a little more simple. I used solid paper in bold colors. I adhered the bright pink frame with foam tape to give more dimension to the card.

I adhered the flower girl and the sentiment with foam tape. The whole panel was adhered to a 5 1/5"X 4 1/4" card base. 

The last card I used more soft colored cardstock.

I adhered the little flower girl and duck to green and blue cardstock to have them look like they are standing outside. The whole panel then was adhered to a 5 1/5"X 4 1/4" card base. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Wishing You a Very Happy Easter

Happy Monday crafty friends! 

I'm tired this Monday we just got done with a fun filled spring break. I love having my kiddos home but I'm ready to get back into a normal routine. This week I played with Lawn Fawn's Easter Party Stamp set. 

I stamped all of the images into smooth cardstock with Memento black ink and colored them in with alcohol markers. I die cut a 5 1/5"X 41/4" double stitched rectangle out of pattern paper. Over the pattern paper I layered green and blue cardstock and die cut them with a rounded corner double stitch rectangle die which was smaller then the other die.

I fussy cut all of the stamped images out after I colored them in. I stamped the sentiment "wishing you a very happy Easter" up onto the right corner of the sky.

The bunny is so adorable! I love all of Lawn Fawns little characters they are so cute.

I adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/5"X 41/4" card base. 

Thank you for stopping by today. I will be back again next Monday!

A Simple St. Patrick's Day Card!

Hi crafty friends!

Hope you had a great weekend. Next weekend is St. Patrick's day I'm not Irish and I don't normally make St. Patrick's day cards but I love to get the most out of my stamp sets and saw the "Happy St. Patrick's day" sentiment in this sentiment stamp set so I went ahead and made a card using it. 

This card is really simple and fast to make. I used three different shades of green ink with this Bohemian 6X6 Bouquet field of daisies stencil. 

I matted the stenciled background onto to different shades of green cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment with green ink onto a thin strip of paper cut the ends off to form a banner. I adhered the sentiment with foam tape. I adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card base. 

Thanks for stopping by have a great week and see you next Monday!
