Have a dandy day! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to day 1 of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. All of the products shown this week (and, the rest of the spring release!) will be available for purchase as of February 20th. We're almost there!

Today, we're showing off Dandy Day:



I love this set for scene-building! I wanted a pop of color and to introduce an element of symmetry, so I brought in the mushrooms from Forest Feast and popped a mouse onto each one. The one mouse is blowing dandelion pods to the other one, who is ready to catch them! The net is from Butterfly Kisses.

I couldn't help but use a sheet of Dandy Day paper for the sky!

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

Reveal wheel: friends and family sentiments (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to another day of Lawn Fawn's June inspiration week. Today, we're showing off the Reveal Wheel: Friends & Family Sentiments stamp set. I created a little woodland magic:

I used images from Oh Gnome, A Little Sparkle, Forest Feast and Birthday Before ‘n Afters to create this birthday scene.



I love the tiny fairies flitting around the cake! I didn't photograph all of the sentiments, but the next segment reads MORE CAKE!



If you'd like to see the step-by-step on how to make this card, Kelly recreates it in her video today - CLICK!

I hope you like it!

plaid for the holidays (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

We're back with more Lawn Fawn inspiration today, showing off the Perfectly Plaid Chill paper collection.



As a side note, for those interested in card photography: this picture was taken at the exact same time as yesterday's card. The softer colors were harder for the camera to appreciate, I guess. This one looks so washed out compared to the rich vibrancy of yesterday's picture. My PSA for today is: if you're really wanting the card photo to impress, it'll be easier if the card itself is full of rich color, and contrasting colors too. This one is too soft, but you know I love a pastel pallette!

Back to it: I used bands of the plaid patterned paper to frame out my little scene. The fox and hedgehog are from Jump For Joy and Forest Feast. I love that they are fall sets but could be used throughout the year!

The Christmas accessories are from Christmas Dreams.

Lawn Fawn August inspiration week: pass the gravy

Hi there!

Welcome back to another day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. Are you excited for this release yet?

We're showing off Forest Feast, the cutest Thanksgiving-themed set ever! I love that giant tree stump.



I wanted a very warm look and feel to the card, so I started out by blending different oranges on the base panel.  I then stamped and colored all of the images, adding extra color and shading to the tree stump to make it look warmer and richer as well.

I love the little "pass the gravy" sentiment! I decided to tuck the gravy boat under the hedgehog's arm.

I stamped him a second time on a piece of scrap paper and carefully trimmed out just his arm.

I also added shading to the white border around all of the images to make them naturally fit the warm background.

I hope you like it!

Lawn Fawn August inspiration week

Hi there!

I fudged up a bit yesterday and forgot to schedule my Lawn Fawn inspiration week post. We were driving home from VA beach, where our family has enjoyed sun and sand and ocean water. Man, I could retire there. I wish it were closer than a 12 hour car ride away!

I'll share my projects from yesterday and today in this one post.  Today, we're showing off the new  Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop die. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it.

I used it with another new die, Shut The Front Door. I added a few pumpkins to the stoop, and when you open up the door...

You find this little guy waiting with a fresh pie. He is from the new Forest Feast set, and the pie is from Holiday Party Animal.

Since I'm intent on woodgrain-ing all the things, I couldn't help but try and add that great texture to a trio of tiny boxes:

You can see, from the box at the top, that the woodgrain doesn't quite line up (that is, you have to run the cover-plate through a few times to get the whole box to have the woodgrain look.) But I did get better at it after that first one. I think they look so sweet.

That takes care of today's projects! From yesterday, I should have posted to show you this set of easy pumpkin tags:

I used the new Fall Tiny Tags, and layered the pumpkins. The black layer is whole - I didn't run it through the die-cutter with the face. I did that only on the top orange layer, so that the face didn't look hollow. I like the depth that it gives.

Also on the Lawn Fawn blog yesterday, this box was featured:

It features images from Costume Party onto the new Gift Box. It's such a great size! I love that I could create a whole scene on the outside of the box.



Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn 2017 fall/winter sneak peek week!

Hi there!

Lawn Fawn is unveiling their fall/winter collection this week.  It's a goooood one!

I don't know that I'm ready to craft in Halloween colors yet, though, so I used the new Costume Party set to make this girly unicorn card.



I had so much fun coloring this little images!

Next up, I did go a bit fall-ish with the new set, Forest Feast:

I mean, let's be honest. I'll take a piece of pumpkin pie any time of year!



The giant tree stump is such a winner. I will be using it again and again for sure. And that racoon? So nice, I stamped it twice. ha.
