Virtual Friends (Lawn Fawn spring release week!)

  Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's spring release week! On February 25th, 9 new stamp sets, 14 new die sets, 5 new stencil sets and new patterned paper and cardstock will be available for sale in the Lawn Fawn store and other online retailers.

Today, we're showing off Virtual Friends - these friends have a strong connection!

I just love this set! The little computer, with the options for who attends the zoom call? adorable. I added the little bear, from Snow Much Fun, and had him stand up on a stack of books (from Den Sweet Den) to be able to see what's going on. 

I kept the background simple - just a simple wash of color - and stamped the sentiment directly onto the card base.

I hope you like it! Wait until you see the other samples, they will blow your socks off! Check them out on the Lawn Fawn blog this morning - click!

gingerbread and snowy skies (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

 Hi there!

We've reached the end of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week - I hope you've enjoyed it! I missed blogging my card for yesterday, so I'll show it off under my card for today.

Today is our showcase of the Snowy Sky Stencil. I've used it a few times already, it's so great - especially with a texture paste!

The bears are enjoying some cookies and hot chocolate in the snow! I used a bear from Den Sweet Den and another from Snow Much Fun. The background is courtesy of the Over The Mountain Borders.

I hope you like it!

Yesterday, this card was on the LF blog for the Build-A-House Gingerbread Add-On inspiration week post.

I really love these dies - they are so sweet! I tried my best to keep everything looking soft and pretty on this card. My favorite thing was adding little white-gel-pen accents to the tiny gingerbread men!

Thanks for stopping by!

snow much fun (Lawn Fawn fall/winter new release week)

 Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's fall/winter release week! We're teasing new products all week long, ahead of the September 10th release - hey! that's tomorrow!

Today is our showcase of Snow Much Fun, a super cute set that you can use with coordinating interactive dies to make the bear's arms flap up and down. I opted (surprise, surprise) to use the set alone, but it's still super cute:

I started out by stamping all of the bears, and coloring them. I paper-pieced the scarves on the 2 big bears, and drew in the missing lines so that you wouldn't be able to see the white die-cut outline. I positioned one bear's arms pointing up and the other's pointing down so you would still get the snow angel effect.

I did some ink blending on a card-front layer, in Kiddie Pool ink, and cut into it with the snow angel dies. Below it, I stamped the snow angel outlines in the same ink and use a matching Copic marker to gently blend that together.

To finish off, I added a frame from the new Let It Shine paper pad - the same strip that I used on one of the bear's scarves. The sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock and just snipped into little rectangles that I adhered to the card. For a final touch, I flecked white paint over the entire card front. The tiny bear at the bottom got a little too much right in his eye, ha.

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

sledding in a winter wonderland (Avery Elle)

Hi there! I'm back with Avery Elle for a closer look at the new falling snow die.



I used the sledding critters from Snow Much Fun as the only real pop of color on my card-front. Aren't they adorable? The goggles are the bear are too much.

For the background, I used the Falling Snow die and layered a light blue cardstock behind it so that it would show more. Can we talk about the genius of that die? The irregular snow circles are amazing, and you can use it to die-cut a strip of snow, or a full sheet - with no weird overlap. I will be using it again and again for Christmas cards and tags this year. It's a must-have.

I used cloud border dies to mimic the mounds of snow everywhere. It looks like Montreal in the winter, for sure!

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!
