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!

Out of this world (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to another day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. Today, we're showing off the Outside In Stitched Star Stackables, and the Stitched Star Frames. I've used both sets of dies on this card:

The aliens from Beam Me Up met up in outer space with the Astronaut from Out Of This World from one crazy birthday party!

I used the star dies to cut star shapes out of my black cardstock layer. I then flecked white paint over the entire area and colored the area behind the stars in a light yellow.



All of the party peeps are standing on a kraft-colored sentiment strip that was white-heat-embossed.

To finish off, I added some small stars to fill in areas that I thought looked empty.

I hope you like it! There's more to see on the LF blog this morning - click!

playing catch-up (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

I missed posting for the first 2 days of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week, so settle in for a longer post with more pictures!

I have 3 projects to share. The first one shows off Happy Village:



The Road Border and Grassy Hillside Borders were such a natural match for this stamp set. And the yellow Gotta Have Gingham paper makes this card extra happy and sunny!



My next card features the Peekaboo Backdrop:



I love this die so much! It makes for an easy card-front design that looks so full and fun. I used images from Rub-A-Dub-Dub and back all of the scenes with Gotta Have Gingham paper.

I love the little duck at the bottom checking out the rubber duckie. haha.

My last card features Beam Me Up:

I ditched the pastel colors for more primary colors here. I love that the aliens are bringing the party goodies and waiting to be beamed aboard the party ship!



I hope you like my cards! Check out the LF blog this week for more inspiration from the rest of the team - click!

ps, this is why I missed the first few inspiration week posts:

We're knee-deep into a bathroom renovation! A few weeks ago, our kitchen ceiling started leaking onto my hubby's head so we had to rip up the kids' bathroom right above. It's been a bit chaotic!

We spent Friday and Saturday filling nail holes, caulking a million joints, and painting these beautiful new moldings. The plumber comes back tomorrow to start putting things back together - yay!
