Say cheese! (Lawn Fawn inspiration and release week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to another day of Lawn Fawn's inspiration and release week. Today is our showcase of the Magic Iris Camera Add-On:

I made a camera-shaped card, in a vintage style. This was so fun to put together! I opted to make the polaroid pop out, using the Let's Toast Pull Tab Add-On, instead of the Magic Iris function, but I can't wait to try it the other way too.

Et voila! When you pull the tab, this cute polaroid pops out. What a Super Star.

Just a note: if you'd like to make a camera-shaped card instead of adhering the camera onto a regular-shaped card, you'll need to do some trimming of the Let's Toast mechanism. Nothing major, just a little shave here and there to make it work. And, you'll need a few layers of cameras...



To make the back layer cut out without the lens circle, I simply rotated it in my cutting machine, cutting a little bit of the edge at the time, without ever running it all the way through. I hope that makes sense!

Camping critters! (Avery Elle new release blog hop)

Hi there!

I'm so excited to have you stop by my blog today, to celebrate the new Avery Elle release! I illustrated 2 sets in the mix, Unicycle, and the one I'm showing off right now - Camping Critters. Strap in, I have 4 cards to share with you!

My first card is a completely 1 layer panel. It took awhile to get the dies to me across the border, so I started playing around with just the stamps. I ink-blended a night sky, and did some masking to build my scene. Everything was colored using copic markers. Only the sentiment was stamped separately and set on top.

For my second card, which is similarly 1 layer for the most part, I wanted to create a daytime look. Only the tent and the sweet bear, but this time, with a little bunny friend, from Santa Bear, and some little butterflies, from Wheelie Great. I added the sentiment as a skinny strip in the middle of the rolling hills, to cut into all of that solid green.

Once I got the dies, I couldn't help but make another couple of cards! This one features another night scene. I hand-cut an oval shape out of green cardstock for the grassy area, making sure to keep the edges jagged so it really looks like grass. Then, I used a blender brush to spread a black-inked sky, keeping the edges lighter and in line with the grassy piece. I added a blue tent, little critters making s'mores and fireflies in the night sky.

This last card is the simplest. I really wanted to feature the raccoon on a card, I love him holding the little lantern! I added the heart-in-speech-bubble image from Wheelie Great, as well as a few mushrooms from Falling For You. The Star Scene die provided the perfect backdrop.

Unicorn party (Lawn Fawn inspiration and release week)

Hi there!

I'm so excited to be kicking off Lawn Fawn's inspiration/release week with a first look at Unicorn Party:

The tiny fairies holding the sprinkle shaker are my favorite! I love how whimsical this new set it! I started out with a sheet of purple Spiffy Speckles patterned paper and a layer of vellum clouds (a new backdrop die!) over it. It's almost impossible to see in the photos, but it mutes the purple and adds another little subtle texture in real life.



I figured out a cloud placement that I liked, and then added the 2 unicorns... on a date? hanging out? who knows. The fairies are helping them out, bringing them all kinds of sweet treats.

I used the label stamp from Ready, Set, Shake for the sentiment at the bottom.

I hope you like it! Check out the Lawn Fawn blog for more amazing projects - click!

Don't worry, be hoppy (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to another day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. We're taking a closer look at products from the current release, and today is our showcase of Don't Worry, Be Hoppy.

I made a card full of little tree frogs, with the help of the branches from A Bug Deal. I colored the branches with copic markers and then used a fine-tipped brown pen to doodle little knots and accents on the branches.

I added a slew of leaves and then layered the frogs. I love their skinny legs peeking out!

The whole thing was placed on a blue-sky card-base. I used the Cloudy Stencil and some Kiddie Pool ink to create the backdrop, and then used a coordinating blue copic marker to color in the outside frame of the piece.

To finish off, I added a speech bubble and the sentiment.

Charge me up! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to another day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. We're taking a closer look at some of the new products from the current release. Today is our showcase of Charge Me Up:

I started out by grabbing a sheet of purple Watercolor Wishes paper, and used a complimentary purple ink to shade the edges and give it more depth. I then placed 6 die-cut and colored robots on the card, and stamped the "illumination lines" at the top of each one of their antennas.



In the middle, I used a mix of stamped sentiment and Cole's ABCs letters to create the greeting.

Ladybug favor boxes (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's April inspiration week post. Today is our showcase of the Tiny Gift Box Ladybug Add-On:



I opted to make them in the simplest way possible. I cut out the box, face and antenna out of black cardstock. Then, I layered on the wings and extra pieces in red. I backed the face with a small scrap of white cardstock and used a white gel pen to add some highlights to a few areas.

Sometimes, simpler is better! I can see these looking so cute for a ladybug party table!

Year 10 (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to April's Lawn Fawn inspiration week, and Happy Easter!

Today is our showcase of Year 10, the adorably on-point mini cactus set!

I couldn't help but use it to make a birthday card:

I positioned 2 party cacti within a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Window die and used a white gel pen to doodle around the scallops a bit before adding the characters.



I colored the cacti, and gave one of the the floral crown (from Swan Soiree) to wear, and let them share holding up the cake (from Beam Me Up.)

I backed the layers with a piece of really rainbow striped paper for an extra bit of fun. I hope you like it!
