thank you FAIRY much (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there, and welcome back to day 2 of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. We're taking a closer look at Push Here, a little collection of sentiments that gives the recipient a clue as to how an interactive card works!



I combined Fairy Friends with a punny Quinn's Capital ABCs F-A-I-R-Y and slapped the Lift The Flap right onto the front of the card. I need to keep the inside free for all the writing!



I love the little "open me" from Push Here, and how it fits right into that flap space, and how the fairy's magic is accentuating the words!

It's hard to tell in the pictures, but I used cloud border die-cuts to sponge layers of clouds on the entire background. I broke up all the sky with a purple scalloped layer, and colored the word fairy in a bright pink so that it would pop.

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

lawn fawny holiday week!

Welcome to the first day of lawn fawn's holiday inspiration week!

I'm bookending this whole thing, with a lawn fawny christmas post today, and again on Friday.



I'm back with my red and black plaid again! I hope you're not sick of it. This is my whole Christmas color scheme: kraft, red and black plaid, black and white. with a tiny green tree thrown in. ha.

I stamped Gingham Backdrops in black ink on red cardstock, then used Quinn's Capital ABCs to cut out the merry letters.

The penguin is my favorite part. He sits on a kraft background, but there is no white outline to break up the look! I stamped, colored and cut him out of kraft cardstock, and then solved the problem of his belly by cutting the face out of white cardstock.

A little dazzle/lawn fawn week!

The lawn fawn team is working with metal sheets by a little dazzle all week.  They look like foil, but with a great weight to them. They look fantastic when cut out with our lawn fawn dies!

I thought it would be fun to pair a gold hello with a gold stork and do something a little more graphic than I'm used to making.



Doesn't that shine look amazing? I love a gold hello, especially paired with Quinn's capitals lettering...



The paper I used to cover the card base is new, and available for purchase wherever lawn fawn is sold as of the end of August. It's part of their "snow day" christmas collection of papers.

I hope you like my card! Be sure to visit the lawn fawn blog all week for more razzle dazzle!

Season's Givings winner + a new lawnscaping challenge!

I just want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all of your sweet comments, and to the new blog followers.  I have loved reading all 244 comments (gah!) but there can only be one winner (as chosen by random.org):

Ngan, congrats! Please email your address to: mom2sofia(at)gmail(dot)com to claim your prize.

Now. There's a new lawnscaping challenge out today, the first of the year. I'm trying to replenish my kid birthday card stash so I'm not scrambling at the last minute:



I found the acetate-starry paper at our local scrapbook store and new it would look awesome over some leftover Christmas stripes.

I spelled out "super" using quinn's capitals, and borrowed the fireworks from happy 4th.  The costumed owl isn't just for halloween.  Even though I masked the big letters to stamp the fireworks in behind, I fussy-cut the owl and popped him on top.  All masked and no texture equals no fun <--- my new motto.



I hope you decide to join us for this challenge! Anything birthday-related is fair game: cards, tags, cupcake toppers - go nuts.

The sponsor and prize-giver this time will be Simon Says Stamp:

Until next time,

♥.

Ready? Set? Go - for another lawnscaping challenge!  For a change, make the sentiment the focus of your card.



This design would be great for making 50 times over.  Change the scrapbook paper in the background for some variation, and voila! all of your Christmas cards created in one afternoon...

I hope you join us this week:

Ruff day? {lawn fawn inspiration week}

Welcome back to another day of lawn fawn inspiration: it's Quinn's capitals day today!

I know this little doggy is bending down to play, but I thought he could look a little down, too... I used Quinn's abcs and riley's abcs to create the custom sentiment.  The largest speech bubble from a birdie told me doubled as the rug under his feet.



I hope glossy accents never go out of style.
