Lawnscaping Challenge - Tag it!

Happy Monday! I am starting to get very excited for the Christmas break! My day job has been unbelievably busy these last few months, it is actually the reason I began this wonderful hobby... To de-stress! The new Lawnscaping challenge is fitting as I am knee deep in making my own holiday tags! I had such fun making these, the new Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Tag Die is simply perfect for mass production! Add a few critters and bam you have a winner! 

I used a few sets of Lawn Fawn stamps for these four tags, Toboggan Together, Winter Alpaca and the Owl is from Critters in the Arctic. I started out thinking I would make shaker tags out of these and die cut my circles out of metallic papers (that I love for the holidays). I also used another Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle to cut out the middle of the tag. As I started putting the tags together, I really felt they did not need to be shaker tags. I cut some vellum with the same smaller Lawn Fawn circle die embossed some snow with an embossing folder. The background is Neena Solar white, I then stamped multiple trees from the Toboggan together set and placed them both in front and behind the vellum. Coloured my Critters with Copics and put them all together including a white backing piece to write my message. To finish them off, I used a variety of Lawn Trimmings twine to tie to packages!

The lucky winner of this challenge will receive a $25.00 gift card from the fabulous Ellen Hutson on-line store!

You will have arrived here from the talented Kate's blog

For my project I started with a Neena Solar white backing piece with three distress inks (Victorian Velvet, Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves) to blend the violet background. I then stamped a starry background stamp in Memories Unicorn White (you can see the stars through the die cuts). With my second Neena panel I took a bunch of stars and snowflake dies from multiple Lawn Fawn sets and die cut the base of a tree and used some gems, I added foam tape and a mix of sequins then glued the two pieces together.  I coloured my Rudolph, Sleigh and Gifts from Toboggan Together with Copics and some gel pens. I then embossed my sentiment and used some Washi tape to back it.

Fawny Holiday Week Day 5

Happy Friday! Participating in Fawny Holiday Week this year has been such fun for me! This is my 3 and last post and the last day for Fawny Holiday Week over at the Lawn Fawn Blog. Go check it out, as always they are offering some wonderful prizes!

This is a remake of a one-layer card I made earlier on this fall for the Lawnscaping Challenge. I have never been a fan of the one-layer even with 110lbs cardstock. I need a hefty card to mail it out, so I re-created my card but with a stitched rectangle die cut. I also used Let it Snow (snowy background), Joy to the Woods (trees) and Toboggan Together for the reindeer! I masked with he snowy borders (mask from dies) and used White Flower Soft for the snow!

Thanks for taking the time! And don't forget to check out the Lawn Fawn Blog all week for more inspiration and some great prizes!
