Oh what fun! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to day 1 of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week! Today, we're showing off the BEARY cute Oh What Fun stamp set and matching dies.

I did some ink blending with different distress inks (faded jeans, tumbled glass and black soot) to create the rich blue background.

The Santa-bear was placed high in that sky, over the little Winter Village houses. I set the houses onto layers of the Stitched Hillside backdrop, and added a forest border behind to fill in the scenery. I love how Lawn Fawn creates these products to work together!



Doesn't he look a little like Winnie the Pooh? ugh, so cute.

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

forest bordered goodie bags.

I have a lot to show you this morning, so without any of the usual chatter, lemme show you how to make these:



I made treat bags to show off lawn fawn's new snow day collection.  It's the regular goodie bag, but I combined it with the forest border to give it an extra special look.



You could just cut a forest border, and tuck it inside, but seamless is so much nicer...

So let's get to the tutorial!

In case you can't read the type on the pictures, I'll repeat it: cut 2 goodie bag pieces.

On each piece, try to find the straightest portion of the forest border die, and cut just below the handle. We want that thing off!



OFF.

The trickiest part: don't assemble the bag yet! Hold the front of the bag, with the forest border and pinch it to the side. Make a pencil mark where you will want the edges to line up. Do this for each side!

Once each side has a pencil marking, you can line it all up and send it through your machine.



All ready to be assembled!



Trim off whatever is extra when you fold in the sides and there you have a very pretty looking holiday box!

You can stop here and it looks fantastic. I added some strips of patterned paper to the inside for an extra pop:



I hope you like it!
