SENDING LOTS OF LOVE (3)

We have the Lots of Hearts week going on over at the Lawn Fawn Blog I created this card for it.



For the background, I used Kraft cardstock and die cut the Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Background die from it. I layered some Vanilla malt cardstock underneath. 

I die cut the Little Letter elements from Lawn Fawn cardstocks as well: Vanilla Malt, Chili Pepper, Guava, Ballet Slippers. I assembled the envelopes and the pen. 



I added everything to the background. I stamped the sentiment, which is from Special Delivery. I stamped in Wild Rose and Lobster inks. 

I added white highlights with a gel pen. I really like the look of these.

BLOWING KISSES FOR VALENTINE'S DAY (1)

I created this really cute Valentine's Day card, with the Valentine Mice stamp set from Lawn Fawn. This set was a free gift with my latest purchase at the Lawn Fawn Shop



For the background, I used Lilac cardstock and the Layered Hearts Stencils. I used three Distress Oxide Inks for ink blending the hearts: Shaded Lilac, Dusty Concord and Villainous Potion.

I also die cut the letter and envelope from the Little Letter die set. I used Sugarplum cardstock for the envelope and Vanilla Malt cardstock for the two letters. I ink blended the letters with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink. I used the Falling Hearts Stencils on both and used Dusty Concord and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink for inking the little hearts. 



I stamped the images from Valentine Mice and colored them with Copic Markers:
Mice: E41 - E43 - E44/ E11 - E04
Envelope: B60 - B63/ V25 - V17
Heart: B60 - B63

I fussy cut all the images and assembled the card. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and dots to the images and die cuts.

YOU'RE A PANDA-STIC FRIEND (1)

Happy New Year to everyone! Ready for my first card of the year, I just had to use the new Lawn Fawn set I Heart Pandas. There are new to the critter collection, they didn't have a full panda set yet. And I'm so happy about it. I created this friendship card with it.

Bamboo + leaves: G21 - G24

MY FAVORITE CRAFT SUPPLIES 2024

Lawn Fawn had some really cool stuff coming out in 2024, here are all my favorites.

STAMPS:

A Waffle Lot

This stamp set matched the Let’s Toast stamp set perfectly. I loved these waffle images. And I loved how many different types of waffles you could create, using other Lawn Fawn sets.

 

Veggie Happy

This is a new favorite, I really enjoyed creating all these veggie patches with these cute litte mice. I especially loved how you could add the signs with the names on it. And they were super fun to color as well.

 

Kanga-Rific

This set was perfect for Mother’s Day and I did use it to make a card for my own mom this year. I thought it was very clever to add a die that cuts the pouch of the kangaroo, so you could add the little baby kangaroo inside the pouch.

 

All the Speech Bubbles

This is one of the most handy sets Lawn Fawn released this year. I can add these to so many cards, whenever I don’t have room for a bigger sentiment. And so many of their sets have tiny sentiments that fit this speech bubbles ánd Lawn Fawn has a bunch of speech bubble sentiment sets as well.

 

Treat Cart + Treat Cart Coffee Add-On

The Treat Cart set was already amazing, but they also came out with the Coffee Add-On set. And I think this is not where it end, I believe Lawn Fawn can figure out some other cool ways to adorn this treat cart.

 

Critters in the Desert

I found this to be the most unique Lawn Fawn set of the year, because of the critters that came with it. Some of these animals we never had in other sets yet, like the fox, the roadrunner or the scorpion. I really loved playing with these images. I created a bunch of desert themed cards this year.

 

Little Woodland Library

If I have to pick a favorite this year, this is the one. As an avid reader, I was so pleased to get a book themed set, finally. I loved the little library and all the cute critters that came with it. I especially loved the mole, we didn’t have one of these yet.

 

Frosty Family + Frosty Family Add-On

I always loved the snowman die set, where you can build your own snowman. But this set is amazing as well. I used a ton of times for Christmas cards this year.

 



DIES: 

Radiant Heart Backdrop

This die was perfect for Valentine’s Day or for a friendship card, wedding card or for anyone you just really cared for.

 

Stitched Garden Veggies + Stitched Root Veggies

These two die sets I put together, because they were made to be combined. I loved using these dies, die cutting these veggies and coloring them with Copic Markers.

 

Stitched Sentiment Banners

Just like the All the Speech Bubbles stamp set, was this die set one you could use for so many different cards. Just to make your sentiment pop off the card. I loved that they are stitched and they are in different sizes.

 

Stitched Bookmark + Book Collection

As an avid reader these dies made me so happy. I made a bunch of bookmarks this year, for others mostly. And the Book Collection was also a perfect way to create book themed projects for my fellow readers. And myself of course.

 

Cute Candy Canes

This die made it very easy to create simple Christmas cards that packed a punch. I hate the taste of candy canes, but I love crafting with them.

 



OTHERS: 

Spiderweb Background Stencil

I’m a fan of creating Halloween themed cards, wo I was very happy with the spiderweb pattern for stenciling. I had several spiderweb patterns in it, to create a background for your spooky themed cards.

 

Candy Cane Lane Paperpad

Stripes are always a favorite, but there were many other Christmassy patterns in this paperpad. And many non-traditional Christmas colors, which I thought was super fun. And the striped papers also had gold foiling on them.

 

Falling Leaves Paperpad

I’m happy with anything fall, plaid or leaf patterned. This was my favorite pattern paper set of the year. Loved the colors and all the patterns that came in this paperpad.
