Have a Happy Day!

Happy Friday crafty friends! Sharing a quick card today featuring my favourite set from Lawn Fawn's last release - Butterfly Kisses.

I couldn't wait to ink this set, I have had it since the release date but have not had to chance to play! I decided that I wanted to try no-line colouring with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers on these sweet critters.

I used my Distress Ink in Old paper to stamp all of my images on some Bristol cardstock and colored my images.  I used the accompanying dies and added some black and white gel pen detail.

I took my MFT Mini Cloud Stencil and Grassy Borders Stencil with Shaded Lilac for the clouds and a mix of Mowed Lawn and Lucky Clover Distress Inks for the grass. Once that was dry, I die cut my panel using my Honey Bee A2 Stitched Rectangle die and glued the frame flat to the card base and I used foam tap for the middle panel.

I felt the grass needed some more elements so I die cut the blades of grass from Lawn Fawn Cilantro cardstock and added some Copic accents. I glued them behind the critters. To finish off, I added some clay flowers from my stash!

Thanks so much for taking the time!

Simon Says: Interactive Cards

Hello crafty friends! It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Interactive Cards! The design team is featuring fantastic Lawn Fawn products :), it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

Come join in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $50 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store!

I decided to use the fun Shadow Box die by Lawn Fawn for my project. I love the size of the Shadow Boxdie , you can use 6x6 paper with it. I chose the Lawn Fawn Watercolor paper pack and die cut both the light purple for the outside and the light blue for the inside and to act as the sky for my scene.

I also die cut accessories with various Lawn Fawn cardstock (all listed below) from the Shadow Box set and I die cut the scalloped window that came in the Shadow Box Ocean Add-On set. I also die cut the smallest of the Butterflies from the Mini Pop-up Butterflies using the Pink and Yellow Watercolor paper.

I then pulled out this cute little Chameleon and stamped her on some Neena 80lbs cardstock and colored her with my Copics in Rainbow colors :) Once that was done and she was die cut, I added one of the super fun Simon Says Stamp eyes on her.

I put my little scene together using Score tape to make sure nothing got loose. To finish off, I stamped the sentiment on a Lawn Fawn Banner die with a mix of white and rainbow colored embossing powders and I added some flowers with a mix of Nuvo drops.

Lots of Love

Happy cold, cold Friday from Montréal! This has been a particularly strange winter, major storms mixed with super freezing temps and then a one day break with a massive rainfall... We, apparently, have not seen a weather pattern like this in one hundred years!  So, happy hearts today with Lawn Fawn for the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge to cheer myself up!

The cute little Skunk was my starting point because I wanted to have him holding a bouquet of flowers :)  I stamped and coloured him in with my Copics and used the accompanying die. I also die cut all of my flowers at the same time.

I put my bouquet together and added some Pretty Pink Posh Jewels to the centres and glued the bouquet to my skunk.

I decided to use my Outside In Stitched Scallop dies and die cut them from Ballet Slippers and one of the smaller ones from Neena.  I then used the Lawn Fawn Woodgrain Die on the inside white panel.

I ink blended some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on both the frame and the inside panel. I then die cut my sentiment and two hearts from Simon Says Stamp glitter paper and the rest of the hearts from some Tim Holtz Metallic paper and Ballet Slippers (ink blended the Picked raspberry once again).

I white embossed my sentiment on Black Licorice cardstock and die cut it with a banner die.

Lawn Fawnatics - Happy Little Critters!

Happy Friday crafty friends! I haven't participated in a challenge in a while, so I decided I absolutely needed to play along with the Happy Little Critters Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! I mean, who doesn't love a Critter challenge!

I had such fun making this winter birthday scene! I chose the Sweet Critter Concert set because I love it and I have not had the chance to ink it up yet, eek! I stamped all of the Critter images and accessories on a piece of Neena 80lbs cardstock and colored them in with a series of Copic Sketch markers.  I used the accompanying dies and set them aside to work on my background.

I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock cut to A2 size and Ink blended Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Distress Ink on the panel once that was complete I took my favourite Simon Says Stamp Star background stencil and I wanted gold embossing paste by alas, mine had dried out. So I took my clear glitter embossing paste and added some Distress Paint to it to make my own, I am super happy with the result. 

I put that aside to dry and die cut my Birch Trees from the Lawn Fawn White Woodgrain cardstock and added some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink to give shading and dimension. I also die cut a piece of the Lawn Fawn glitter paper with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die (as was the background panel) and die cut either side with the opposing Stitched Hillside Border dies.

Once my background had dried I embossed my sentiment on the background panel and glued my trees. I added my "snow banks" and finally placed my critters on the panel. To finish off, I added my music notes to the scene! Go check out the fun challenge!

Lawn Fawn Pastel Christmas!

Happy Monday Crafty friends! I made this card to submit it to the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge only I should have verified the date... I am a day late, lol! I had such fun making this one, I decided to share anyway.

So the inspiration was the pastel color palette that was the last challenge over at Lawn Fawnatics.  I do love non-traditional colors at Christmas and I wanted to use the Oh What Fun set from the last Lawn Fawn release.

I started by die cutting my frame from Neena Solar White and the Tonic White Glitter paper using the Lawn Fawn portrait stitched hillside die. I then took the inside piece and die cut that again using the Lawn Fawn Portrait Snowfall background die.  I then added a bit of Shaded Lilac Distress Ink with a really light hand. I thought this light purple was perfect with the pastel theme.

Once that was complete I die cut all of my accompanying scene (all included in the Lawn Sawn Portrait Stitched Hillside die set)  from a mix of Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp cardstocks and shaded them lightly with the coordinating Distress Ink.

I stamped and colored in my images with my Copic Markers, die cut them and put my little scene together. I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze, Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops, some white pen detail and some Nuvo Drops in coordinating colors on the trees.

To finish off I added the Lawn Fawn Joy sentiment and the Oh What Fun at the bottom.

Simon Says: All That Glitters Is Gold

It's Wednesday crafty friends and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: All that Glitters is Gold! The design team is featuring Lawn Fawn products, it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

Come join in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $50 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store!

I chose the String of Lights die set from Lawn Fawn for my card. I die cut them from Tonic Harvest Gold paper and used Wow Hologram Embossing powder three times to make them shine. You can see the effect in the close-up picture.  Once that was complete I added a little Nuvo Glaze to the right side of all the lights and put some Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter on all three.

I then put a complete coat of the Glaze over all three to make them look even and uniform.  Once that was dry, I added white gel pen to emphasize the highlights on the dies.

I then added to light toppers that were embossed with Ranger Silver Tinsel embossing powder.

I die cut the accompanying "string" for the lights in a dark Christmas green and I glued my elements to my 4.25 x 5.5 card panel.  I then die cut the Scripty Joy from Lawn Fawn from a StickIt, Fun Foam and Lawn Fawn gold glitter paper sandwich.

I glued it to the panel and went on to add a secondary sentiment and used my Ranger Gold Tinsel Embossing powder on Lawn Fawn Black Licorice cardstock and used foam tape to glue it to the panel.

To finish off, I added some Lilac Lane Reindeer sequin mix and I stamped a few tiny hearts with my Delicata Gold Ink.

Simon Says Stamp: Pop It Up

Happy Wednesday crafty friends that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Pop It Up! The design team is featuring Lawn Fawn :)

Come join in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $50 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store!

Also, don't forget that this is the best month of the year - it's STAMPtember! Go check out  all of the fantastic Simon Says Stamp exclusive brand products and the wonderful collaboration products:)

For my project I decided to finally break out my reveal wheel die, I haven't had a chance to use it yet! Along with some of the fantastic new Lawn Fawn products. Winter Skies I think is my favorite new release stamp set from the last Lawn Fawn release.  

I paired it with the snow background from the Really Rainbow Christmas 6 x 6 paper pack. I started by die cutting all of the elements I needed for the reveal wheel and lined up my small sentiments from the Reveal Wheel Holiday sentiments on the wheel itself and white embossed all four sentiments. Once that was complete and I was happy with the alignment I took the top panel and stamped the Santa sleigh also from the winter skies set. I chose the cute foxes from the same set and used Copic markers to color them. The die set had sold out when I picked this up so I fussy cut the image.

I die cut some of the Simon Says Stamp glitter paper to mimic snow. I put the reveal wheel together and added my glitter paper and popped up my image with foam dots. I added a secondary sentiment and had to add it with a needle as I had already foam taped the two panels together... Yes that is so me! lol 

The holiday season sentiment is from the same set as the other sentiments and the tag is by Mama Elephant. To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen detail and some Pretty Pink Posh sequins!

For the Boys featuring Lawn Fawn!

Happy hump day! That also means time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! This week we are all about the boys featuring Lawn Fawn!

The inspiration for this card was my new Nuvo mousse. I had never tried it and just picked up my first colors. I took my Simon Says Stamp Falling Stars Stencil and used a mix of Aquamarine and Spring Green mousse. Love the stuff I must say! I put my Neena 80 lbs panel aside to dry and decided on the fantastic Critters Ever After set by Lawn Fawn for my feature images.

I love the whimsical feel of this stamp set, I colored in the images with my Copics and added some Diamond Stickles to parts of the dragon and Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the castle windows and door knobs.

For my sentiment I chose to use the new Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday Line die with some teal glitter paper. Once my mousse was dry, I placed the sentiment and then the images on the card base. 

I wanted to add a few more stars so I used the small star cluster dies from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Stars dies that were in the latest release in matching colored card stock.
