Charge me up! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to another day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. We're taking a closer look at some of the new products from the current release. Today is our showcase of Charge Me Up:

I started out by grabbing a sheet of purple Watercolor Wishes paper, and used a complimentary purple ink to shade the edges and give it more depth. I then placed 6 die-cut and colored robots on the card, and stamped the "illumination lines" at the top of each one of their antennas.



In the middle, I used a mix of stamped sentiment and Cole's ABCs letters to create the greeting.

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

Ahoy, matey! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!



Lawn Fawn's summer release is being shown on the blog alllll week and you are gonna want to check it out. It was like Christmas in May when I opened my box of new goodies. The summer release will be available for purchase as of May 18th.

We're kicking things off with a look at Ahoy, Matey.

I made a sky out of Watercolor Wishes paper, and a kraft hillside for the pirate to bury his treasure in. Or find it. That probably makes more sense.

The Happy Birthday sentiment fits perfectly into a Bannertastic banner.



The little pirate is so cute with his peg leg. And the tiny puddle as a parking spot for the ship is cracking me up.

Sew cute! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!



We're kicking off Lawn Fawn's April inspiration week with a closer look at Sewn With Love.

I have 2 cards up on the Lawn Fawn blog this morning. The first one has all of the smiley faces colored in a very vibrant teal, against a pink Watercolor Wishes background. I love the jar of buttons peeking out from behind the pin cushion.

The second is one that I showed off during CHA sneak peek week (you can see the original blog post by clicking HERE.) It's still my favorite, and I have to admit that I was sad to see it go. Sofia picked it for her friend's birthday and I had to stop myself from asking her to pick a different one.

I did a quick watercolor on the background and fixed a Bannertastic banner so it looked like it was being pushed out by the machine.

Bekah's mermaid party

Last month, my niece Rebekah turned 5. Her little sister, 1 years old, her twin sisters, 3 months old, and my sister, tired. So I offered to bring the party to their house.

I baked cupcakes, decorated toppers and water bottles, and made a banner.

The birthday girl requested purple and blue for her color scheme, and mermaids.



Purple-iced cupcakes were dressed up with fancy sprinkles from Sweetapolita (I splurged! they are so pretty!)



The something blue was brought in with the cupcake toppers. I colored soooo many mermaids. If you are hand-making party decorations like I did, how do you work? I like to do everything in stages. First, batch stamp and die-cut all of the images (I used Mermaid For You images for the entire party.) Another day, I set to coloring. And Netflix binging. I watched a few seasons of Suits while making all of these decorations. Assembly is for another day.



The waterbottles are my favorites. I used strips of the purple paper from the Watercolor Wishes pack, and made labels with each girl's name on the front (hand-stamped, of course.)



To attach the straw, I wrapped a little strip of the same purple paper around the straw and then used a glue dot to secure it to the bottle. Easy peasy, but it looks super cute!



The last thing I made was this banner with Bekah's name going across the panels.



A special shout-out to my hubby for holding one end of the banner, while I juggled holding the other side and snapping a quick picture. I'm surprised it's at all in focus. ha.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Bicycle built for you (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!




More purple. I really can't help myself. Lawn Fawn inspiration week continues with a closer look at Bicycle Built For You.  I love all of the little accessories that can take this sweet couple from a casual afternoon ride in the park, to a dressed up post-i-do-can-swinging adventure.



I layered all of my images over a sheet of Watercolor Wishes paper, onto which I flecked white ink for a more dreamy look. I then fit the greeting into a sweeping banner, from Bannertastic.

I hope you like it! Kelly Marie recreated my card in her video this morning, so visit the Lawn Fawn blog to check it out - click!

Bun in the oven (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there, and welcome back to another day of March's Lawn Fawn inspiration week.

Today, we're showing off the Watercolor Wishes paper collection. I continue my love affair with the purple Horseshoe paper:



This is a bit of a quirky card, but a smiley-faced oven is already pretty silly so I ran with it. I used some matching ink to add some shading around the edges of the watercolor paper, and that provided the perfect backdrop for my images.

The images are from Bun In The Oven and Sprinkled With Joy.



I love the surprise of opening the oven! The little bun looks so cute.
