hello summer! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's June inspiration week! We only have a few days left, but I hope you've been enjoying it so far! Today, we're showing off the Hello Border:



I did a lot of layering on this card! I did some ink blending on the card-base and on the Sunrise Backdrop, and then layered on some ocean waves in 2 different blues. Next, I brought in the palm trees and a sandy beach before adding the flamingos from Flamingo Together.

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

lawn fawn meets xyron week!

Hi there!

The Lawn Fawn team is collaborating with Xyron this week! I love their tape runners, and I use the adhesive eraser to clean up my messy crafty efforts on a regular basis.

For my card, I used the flamingo pair from Flamingo Together. They are sitting in the little lake image from Dad + Me, and against the hello sentiment from Yay! Kites.

The card base was done with a ruler and the highlighter edge of a copic marker. So quick and easy! I created the candy cane stripe pattern by alternating using the just the tip of the marker edge and the entire weight of the broad tip.



I hope you like it! Check out the LF blog (HERE) and the Xyron facebook page (HERE) for more!

let's flamingle!

The newest Lawn Fawn collection had me itching to create something tropical for this month's mini party post:

I used the new Flamingo Together stamp set to create a few party decorations.



My kids started to try and make nonsense of any 2 words: let's choco-ingle, let's tac-ingle... I was pretty direct: it pretty much only works with f-l-a-m-i-n-g-l-e. So stop it.



I made the simplest cupcake toppers, but so cute! I just think he's adorable.

I dressed up some yummy cupcakes (really, so good. I bought the new cookbook Cookies and Cups and made the brown sugar cupcakes, with the marshmallow buttercream. ugh, I wish I had some right now.)



The stitched scalloped cupcake wrappers, stamped with the wave image from Loveable Legends, makes the perfect base for the flamingo.

I dressed up waterbottles with a simple white wrap, stamped with palm trees from Flamingo Together.



It looks like a shirt my mom used to have in her closet. I am not joking.



Every party needs a fun favor box! I used the pillow box die, the leaves from the blissful botanicals die set, and the owl scales from the Give A Hoot dies to create these pineapple favor boxes.



I cut the owl scales, then flipped the box around and cut them again on the other side.  To hide the space in the middle, I stamped and die-cut the large thanks sentiment.



Thanks for stopping by! I hope you liked my tropical flamingo party!

we flamin-go together {new Lawn Fawn}

Hi there!

Welcome back to another day of Lawn Fawn inspiration. The summer release is flamin-go hot, as we showcase today's set, Flamingo Together!

I finally got my dies! haha. Just in time for the last day! I stamped, colored and die-cut the flamingos, and perched them onto a black sentiment banner. I love the pop of the white heat embossing again the rest of the scene.

The palm trees stamped onto the card base make me think of a cheesy hawaiian shirt.
