Guest Designer for Lawn Fawnatics Challenge # 18 - Emboss Resist

Hello and Welcome December!! 

I'm honored to be Guest Designing this month for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog. I created two cards for Challenge #18 - Emboss Resist.

I love this technique - it's an easy way to add detail to a project. Here's my first card using a combination of Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.

I stamped snowflakes onto my blank card base using white embossing powder and once it was heat set I blended some Lawn Fawn inks over the background. The embossed snowflakes resist the inks and stand out on the inked background. 

Be sure to stop by the Lawn Fawnatics blog and check out all the Design Team projects for more ideas using the Emboss Resist technique.

I will be back December 13th to share my second card for this challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great week.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge # 17 - Color Inspiration

Happy Friday!! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving Day with family and friends!! If you are braving the stores for Black Friday, ENJOY!! My Thanksgiving reminded me how thankful I am to have family close by and how great it is to gather together and simply enjoy the day. I'm very blessed.

I am also thankful to have art in my life. Creating is soothing, inspiring and especially fun when done with other creative souls! I am currently loving all the Lawn Fawnatics Challenges - it has pushed me to use stamp sets I haven't touched yet and to practice with my Copic Coloring. The current challenge is a Color Inspiration Board. 

 

I used all the colors and a gift image as the inspiration for my holiday card. I used the Beary Happy Holidays Stamps & Dies - it's an adorable set and a must have for your Holiday cards. Here's my card.

Lawn Fawn's Stamp and Die Sets make creating a scene on a project easy and I love how sweet the bears are in this set.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 14 - Happy Little Critters

Hello. I'm back today with another card based on the current challenge over on the 

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog. The current challenge is to use Lawn Fawn's ADORABLE critters on a paper craft project. How easy is that! So many critters to choose from. 

I stayed in the Fall/Thanksgiving theme when I created my card. I combined several sets of Lawn Fawn Stamps an Dies and here's what I created. 

I love the new Stitched Hillside Backdrop Die. It's a great base to create a scene on a card. I layered puffy cloud borders to add dimension without making my card too thick. 

Here's a close up of the adorable mice.

Holiday Cards

I've been on a Holiday Card kick lately. I like to have them on hand to give, for display and to sell if someone wants a unique handmade card for someone special. Here's a super quick card I made using Lawn Fawn's "Peace Joy Love" Paper pack. Here's my card.

I used a piece of a straw for the tree truck, added a few sequins and a star punched from glitter paper. The sentiment sticker is Tim Holtz Occasions Small Talk Stickers.

These could be easily mass produced if you needed some quick Holiday Cards for the special teachers in your life. 

I'm currently working on some commissioned canvases so I will share them shortly. 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!
