Cloud shaker (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to another day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week! Today, we're showing off the Outside In Stitched Cloud Stackables and the Stitched Cloud Frames.

I combined both on this sweet card. I grabbed a white cardstock panel, and did some soft ink blending. I then flicked some water over it to add a dreamy quality to the sponged color.



I then cut into the panel with the cloud dies, and created a little shaker in the negative space.

Down below, I created a little scene using the sweet ducklings from Rub-A-Dub-Dub.





They are holding up a banner from Bannertastic. I love the little duck looking up at the clouds!

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

let's go out (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

For day 2 of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week, we're heading to the shops! Village Shops is a cute set filled with little shops and things you'd find in a quaint town. It reminds me of some of the beach towns we've visited.



I colored all of the shops with copic markers in all kinds of subtle colors. I set everything against a light blue paper sky and created little vignettes with the Peekaboo Backdrop die.



I love the little ice cream truck! When we first moved into our house a few years ago, the kids and I heard what sounded like the sweet ding-ding of an ice cream truck on our street. We tore outside so fast, only to find it was a knife-sharpening truck. ha. I wasn't as disappointed as the kids were (mama needs her sharp knives!) but I totally wish we had ice cream trucks here!

i scream you scream (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to day 1 of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week! Today, we're showing off sweet summer treats that you could scoop up with the I Scream You Scream dies:

I die-cut all of the pieces for my ice cream, complete with a chocolate drip and a cherry on top! I matted the cone with a piece of sunny yellow gingham paper, and framed it out with a Stitched Scalloped Circle Frame.


I heat-embossed the sentiment onto a piece of blue cardstock, and brought in more subtle pattern with the kraft-colored polka dot layer.

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

color me happy! (Ellen Hutson)

Hi there!

I have a fun little card to share with you today, using products you can find in the Ellen Hutson store!

I stamped, colored and die-cut the little girl and her easel from Neat and Tangled's Paint Night. I then stamped the landscape artwork image into the easel, and set them into a frame (from Lawn Fawn's Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-On.)

For the sentiment, instead of going with one in the Paint Night set, I reached for EH's Totally Random Sayings Vol. 2! I split the sentiment into 2 parts, putting the smaller script onto a simple banner flag and grounding the cute images with the larger block font.



To add a playful touch, I matted everything onto a sheet from Lawn Fawn's Really Rainbow collection.

I hope you like it!

Peek-A-Boo Pals (Avery Elle)

Hi there!

I have a fun little card to share, using a set from Avery Elle's newest release, Peek-A-Boo Pals:

I stamped and die-cut a trio of critters and their matching paws. Aren't they just the cutest? I colored them with copic markers, keeping the tones very light. For the hippo, I used C00, C01 and C3 to color the main body. For the bunny, I used W00, W1 and W3, and for the monkey I used E30, E31 and E34.

I then used the Oval Burst die to frame them out and set them onto a blue background.

I stamped the greeting on sentiment flags from the Wonky Stitches die set, and made them appear to be wrapping around the frame.

The entire scene was set onto a piece of soft violet paper and adhered to a card base. I added a few wooden stars as a finishing touch.

I hope you like what I've created! Thanks for stopping by!

you're a wiener! (Neat and Tangled)

Hi there!

I'm still playing with my newest set for Neat and Tangled, Hot Dog:

I giggle every time I stamp out these little guys! I stamped "#1" into the middle of the trophy, and made one hot dog present it to his sassy friend, who was obviously expecting the honor. ha. Just standing there, with his hands on his hips. He knew it.

I added a Stitched Sunburst behind him so he'd shine even more.



I grounded the hot dogs with a picnic-ready gingham patterned paper and added the sentiment to a sentiment flag.

A few scattered stars finished things off.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Hot dog! (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

It's the final day of new product reveals for Neat and Tangled's June release week. We're showing off my second set for the month, Hot Dog, featuring a trio of hilarious characters.

I love the hotdog with his hands on his hips, so sassy.  For today, I left him out in favor of a bigger sentiment:

I watercolored a navy blue background, and cut Journaling Alpha letters out to spell F-R-A-N-K-S. How I know this stamp is for our generation and not the kids? I had to explain the joke to my 13 year old, who had never heard a hot dog referred to as a frank before. But she giggled when I did, so there. The wiener sentiment on the other hand, hahaha. That one is clearly for them.

I colored the mirror-imaged dogs, one with a mustard topping and the other with ketchup. You know, variety. I gave them little rosy cheeks for added cuteness.

I hope you find these little guys as charming as I do! Be sure to check out the Neat and Tangled blog this morning for Danielle's giveaway of this set, but before you go leave me a message here! Tomorrow morning, Danielle will announce the winner of a 25$ gift card to the NT store, on comment chosen from among the design team's blog posts this week.
