Lawn Fawn inspiration week catch-up

Hi there!

I am so sorry to have flaked out so much on this month's inspiration week! Let do a little bit of catching up, starting with today's post:



The sentiment shows off Celebration Scripty Sentiments, and I've paired it with stamps from Some Bunny and Easter Party. I still love those kids in costume images so much! Everything mixes and matches so well, it's what I love so much about working with Lawn Fawn products!



This card was on the LF blog yesterday (click HERE to see that whole post!) It shows off Simply Celebrate Spring with those flying airplanes, with a duo of Wavy Sayings fitted into their flying banners.



I stamped out different clouds, and set them on top of a Stitched Cloud Backdrop. The Little Town Border below finished off the card.

For my final card in this catch-up game, I have this soft and pretty number. You can see the card on the Lawn Fawn blog here (click!) It features the Stitched Flower Frame. I cut it out of Spiffy Speckles paper, and added shading with a soft pink copic marker. I used the same marker to add soft pink cheeks.



I cut the Fancy Lattice Backdrop twice, and layered them together for something fancy in the background.

I hope you like everything! Thanks for stopping by!

Double slider surprise (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's August inspiration week! We're showing off new products all week long! Today is our showcase of the new die set, Double Slider Surprise. You pull the tab and not one, but 2 panels pop out! My kids have been playing with this card since I made it:



I created a little halloween scene with the kids from Costume Party and Easter Party. The black sky adds some drama, and I just love that woodgrain paper for the background. When you pull the tabs, the scene is extended:



It's a total TA-DA! moment. More of the costumed kids, including the astronaut from Out Of This World. I continued the starry sky and rolling hills either way, so it really looks like one seamless story.

I hope you like it! Kelly takes you step-by-step through how to use this die - I can't wait to use it for all kinds of Christmas scenes!

Toadally awesome and a gingham sky (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Lawn Fawn's March inspiration week is on the blog all week, with new products being highlighted every day. Today, we're showing off the super cute set, Toadally Awesome.



I couldn't help but use the Peekaboo Backdrop again, and create mini scenes within each panel for a "hoppy" birthday card! The pink sky gives it a sweet look.

I'm also showing you the card that was on the Lawn Fawn blog yesterday:

I used green Watercolor Wishes paper for the rolling hills, and gave it a blue Gotta Have Gingham sky. I added a row of spring flowers at the bottom, from Simply Celebrate, and little ducklings from Rub-A-Dub-Dub. They are hanging with the kid-in-duck-costume, from Easter Party.



This card just screams SPRING to me! Now, if our weather could start catching up I'd be super happy.

I hope you like my cards! There's more to see on the LF blog all week - click!

simply celebrate (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Lawn Fawn inspiration week continues with a closer look at Simply Celebrate.

I thought the little flower border would look cute paired with the flower-girl from Easter Party.



I layered them together, added a sentiment that spanned the width of the flower border (from Simply Sentiments) and popped the focal images onto a scalloped circle that I embossed using the Quilted Backdrop die.

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

Easter party (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to more of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. Today, we're showing off the Easter Party stamp set, as well as the Outside In Easter Egg Stackables dies.

I love this little bunny-costume-kid so much! It's my second time using him this week. I'll use the others soon, hee hee.

I nestled the bunny into some grassy hills and placed him in front of a giant easter egg. I used the negative space from an Outside In Easter Egg, and created a gingham egg sleeve.

To finish off, I opted for the Happy Easter Line Border as the sentiment, and splattered white paint over the kraft card-front.

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

Some Bunny and bunny treat boxes (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

I'm running a little behind so I'm giving you a 2-for-1 blog posting deal today. Our family took a little trip to Vermont this weekend in celebration of my 40th birthday (it doesn't even feel real to type that!) and I took a little blogging break yesterday.

Lawn Fawn inspiration week continues today with a look at Some Bunny (and then keep scrolling for a look at the bunny boxes I was supposed to post yesterday.)

I used the little bunny-costumed kid from Easter Party, and gave him a carrot garden using images from Some Bunny. It all made for a very cute Easter-themed friendship card!



I gave the scene a yellow gingham sky, and drew in the missing lines from the carrot garden images to make everything look more seamless. I white-heat embossed the sentiment and used a white gel pen to add accents to give the card more "pop."

I hope you like it! Now, onto the cutest, teeniest little bunny treat boxes:



The tiny gift box is already one of my faves. I love a small treat box that cuts out in one piece and that holds just a small amount of chocolate. ha. My kids would love more but one piece looks special in a dressed up box. The bunny add-on dies are so cute!



The bunny shape cuts out and then you could use an extra die to make arm cut-outs. I mean, c'mon. So stinking adorable! And then give him a carrot or an easter egg to hold. I die.

The rosy cheeks just push it all over the top.

As does the little cotton-tail bum. I love it too much!

Eggstra Special Easter.

Hi there!

Marlyn (of Montreal Confections) and I collaborated on a fun Easter egg party, devoid of any bunnies and carrots. We decided it would be all about the eggs and woven baskets:

I scored a few giant craft Easter eggs from Target (before they close their doors in Canada - sob!) and decided to springboard the entire party decor from there.



Lawn Fawn has the cutest Easter basket image that I used to decorate the pink-lemonade-filled bottles.

Marlyn made the most beautiful giant Easter egg cookies. I love the stencil detailing she achieved!



Marlyn also made a woven basket cake, with giant chocolate-covered-marshmallow eggs on top:



The edible wafer paper is a fun alternative to creating the woven look with icing!

I matched her basket-weaving with my own cupcake wrappers:



I have a quick photo tutorial to show you how I created the wrappers. It looks time-consuming, but since the cutting doesn't have to be perfect, it goes by pretty fast:



Start out by fringing the cupcake wrapper from the bottom, but stopping before any of the scallop detailing at the top.



Take a second wrapper and cut it into thin strips, lengthwise. You see now what I meant about the imperfect cutting, hee.



Start weaving! I place a tiny piece of tape to hold each row as I went along, so that I didn't undo my progress so far.

I only wove in 2 or 3 rows per wrapper.

(Sidebar: you just got a glimpse of my newly-stained dining room table top!)



You could leave it white, or sponge it for a more natural wicker look. That's all there is to it!

I hope you like our little Easter Egg party. I always love working with Marlyn!
