Making multiples of one design

Happy Sunday! I am working on a series of Holiday cards for a company that uses my cards as their Holiday Greetings to customers! I recently ordered the Misti Stamp Tool by My Sweet Petunia and I don't know what I did before! I like to make a set of five for each design and using this makes my life so much simpler! 

For this one I used a series of snowflakes and the greeting from the PS Fresh Snow stamp set that was released a few years ago, I love the design of these snowflakes. I used Ranger glitter embossing powder for the snowflakes and sentiment added a few white dots with my Sakura White Gellyroller. The diagonal lines on the card base were created with an MFT stencil and MFT Wild Cherry Hybrid ink (my favourite red for Christmas). Finished them off with a sparkling of PPP sequins!

Thanks for taking the time!

Penny Black Parisian Engagement

I was asked to make an engagement card for a couple that were engaged last summer in Paris. What better set to use then the Penny Black J'aime Paris set!

I decided to try my hand at a black and white watercolour, this is a first for me and I am happy with the way it turned out. Long live my Zig Clean Color Brush Pens and Strathmore Bristol paper!

The frame was die cut with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle and I finished it off with Pretty Pink Psh sequins.

Thanks for taking the time!

Lawnscaping Challenge #117 - Thinking of You!

Happy Monday all Lawnscapers! Kim from the FIT team here with my project for the Thinking of You challenge that starts today on the Lawnscaping blog! 

I love this Lawn Fawn Fox, it's an older stamp but I was so excited when they introduced the accompanying die this fall! I thought this stamp with the coffee cup would be a great thinking of you for a friend that is far away. Mixed it with the thinking of you sentiment from the awesome Lawn Fawn Chit Chat set. This stamp is so stained by ink from usage, one of my all-time favourite sets! Also used the Stitched Rectangles and Circle dies also by Lawn Fawn. With a scattering of PPP sequins!

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

Lawnscaping October Blog Hop - Orange!

Who doesn't love Friday's! This is Kim from the Lawnscaping FIT team and welcome to the October  Blog Hop - we are loving Orange this month! The wonderful sponsor for this hop is The Ink Road you could win a $25.00 gift certificate to this store!  All you need to do is leave a comment with a trackable e-mail on each stop on this hop!

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

When I think of October and orange obviously Halloween comes to mind. I do not make Halloween cards nor do I regularly use orange much but I do make goodie bags and such for my nieces and nephews and well, orange for Halloween is standard.  Here is another example using a pillow box perhaps for the older kids that don't "do" Halloween any longer for a little trinket or gift card.

Paper is all Neena solar white both the 80lbs and 110lbs. I made my own web stencil from a full A2 size die and used a mix of Distress Inks for both the box and background on the shaker tag.  My stamps are from Monster Mash and Spooktacular by Lawn Fawn and the shaker is also from the new Lawn Fawn shaker add-on to Ready, Set, Snow.  A mix of Pretty Pink Posh sequins and off we go!

Here is the full blog hop list, if you find a broken link along the way just go back to the Lawnscaping Blog for the entire list!

Your next stop on the hop is the wonderful Suzanne!

Happy Halloween to you all! We don't "open-up" for Halloween as I have two big barking dogs lol! I do love it though, so instead Saturday night will be an old horror movie Marathon with my best friend because my husband is scared of old horror movies ha!

Thanks for taking the time!

Good morning and welcome to another Lawnscaping Challenge! Too Cute to Spook is the theme this week and I have always loved Halloween! Although my husband and I do not really open-up for Halloween because I have two big dogs with big barks and they take their guard duties seriously!

Lawn Fawn Good Bag Die, 12x12 Let's Polka in the Dark papers, Booyah Stamps and Dies, Spooktacular Stamps and Dies, Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle dies, an MFT spider web die and Lawn Trimmings Twine and Star dies. I coloured all of my images with my Zig Clean Colour Brush Pens and Bristol paper (by Strathmore)
