Snowglobe tags (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's September inspiration week. Today is our showcase of the Tiny Christmas stamp set and the Snow Globe Gift Tag.



My trio of tags is pretty simple, but that's how I like my tag-making to be! Each tag boasts its own snowy scene, and woodgrain base.

I just love the kids in their onesie pyjamas!

I love that the snow globe die set includes the little snowdrift piece - so perfect for this type of scene-building!

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

Ho-ho-holidays (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's September inspiration week. I have 2 cards to share with you for our showcase of Ho-ho-holidays and the Rooftop Border die.



Guess who's really doing all the heavy lifting? hee hee. I started with a piece of white cardstock for the snowy background layer, and ink-blended different shades of blue ink. I also added extra little splatters of white paint on top.



My next card brings in the oldest set, Christmas Dreams. After all of the presents are delivered, the Clauses deserve some down-time. I laid a piece of woodgrain patterned paper for the floor, and added all of the living room elements (including the little kitty!) on top of it.

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

Mice on ice! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's September inspiration week! Today is our showcase of Mice On Ice and the Stitched Pond die.



I cut off part of the pond so that I could fit in a snowy landscape below. Those ice-skating mice are so cute! I especially love the hand-holding pair.



It's really impossible to see in the picture but the pond itself is a subtle shimmer paper. It gives off the right kind glitz in real life.

I added little trees below to frame the sentiment. A little red heart brings the red of the scarves to the bottom half of the card.

Stamptember! Snow Bunnies

Hi there!

Lawn Fawn is celebrating STAMPtember with Simon Says Stamp today! The brand new, exclusive set is called Snow Bunnies. This set is only available at Simon Says Stamp while supplies last.

I created a soft, pink scene with the set:

I die-cut rolling snow hills and set the images at different levels. I created 2 separate scenes - the tree-decorating bunnies at the top, and the snow-bunny-building one at the bottom.



I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

A slice of pumpkin pie (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

The fall/winter collection hit the stores yesterday, but as a special treat, the design team is serving up slices of pie today! We're showing off the new Cake Slice Box Pie Add-On:



I used the yellow paper from the Spiffy Speckles patterned paper pad, sponging orange ink over-top. I love the dimension and texture that you get from the little speckles!



I added whipped cream to the top, and a kraft-colored pie-crust. I finished off with a sweet sentiment banner.



Here's a back view, to show you that extra "crust" piece.

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

Christmas Kids (Avery Elle new release blog hop!)

Hi there!

I am so thrilled to be part of the Avery Elle new release blog hop - and even more elated to reveal that I will now be joining their team of illustrators! I have 4 stamp sets included in this release, and I hope you love them all!

For today, I am showing off Christmas Kids:



I designed this set to be a stamp-one-and-done kind of Christmas set. I love this kind of large-scale image, especially because I can stamp and die-cut a bunch of them in advance, color them at my leisure and then have my holiday cards come together in a snap.

For this card, I did some very subtle ink-blending on the card base, and then popped the main image up using foam tape. I colored everything with copic markers. I had so much fun giving the kids different skin tones and hair colors! The little Santa image on the boy's sweater is my fave.



I did a bit of doodling on the girl's mug to make it look like Santa's face, and added polka dots and stripes to clothing with a white gel pen. I also used my gel pen to add little snowflake doodles to the background. I would have used the stamp image for that, but I thought of it too late ::facepalm::



My second card is a bit of a stepped-up card design. I backed the kids with a starry night patterned paper, added a snow-bank and a white frame die (the Dotted Frame by Avery Elle,) and added a pop of red as the base layer.

I also took the extra step of re-drawing the black lines around the snow-pile images, so that the snow would look seamless on top of the tree.

bats and turkeys (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to Lawn Fawn's August inspiration week! We're showing off items from the fall/winter collection leading up to the August 22nd release week (and woot! that's tomorrow!)

Today, we're showing off a new Woodland Critter Hugger - a Bat Add-on! and another add-on, the Tiny Gift Box Peacock and Turkey Add-On.



I couldn't help but start out by making the turkey. he's so cute! I used an off-white cream cardstock for his face, and a kraft for his body. I used markers to draw stripes on the tail-feathers, to break up all of that kraft cardstock.



The little pilgrim hat is so fun!

I also made a little gift bag using the Goodie Bag die and the new bat dies.



In real life he's much cuter - in the photo the gray of his body looks so washed out you can hardly see his white fangs! But trust me, he's cute. I added a little scarf (from the Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On) and some black crinkle paper to break up all of that grey. The finishing touch was a little piece of purple candy for him to hold.

I hope you like them! Check out what the rest of the design team cooked up on the Lawn Fawn blog today - click!
