L34: Have a Picture Perfect Summer!

Sharing a card I made for one of my son's teachers.
This card features stamps by Lawn Fawn and paper from Echo Park's "Splash" collection.

The camera and "picture perfect" sentiment were heat embossed.

The "ball" was punched out of one of the papers. 

Not sure what it was supposed to be, maybe a pinwheel? 

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "Say Cheese", "Swimsuit Season", "Quinn's ABCs and "Harold's ABcs"

Papers: Echo Park

Other: Uniball pen, gems

I am submitting this card into the Lawnscaping #34: Embossing Challenge

L34: Cutlery Holders

Going to be a hot one this weekend!

I was working in my craft space today and it was getting rather toasty in there.

The AC has been turned on...

Sharing a little project I made for an upcoming teacher appreciation luncheon for my younger son's preschool staff.  I can't believe we are finished with preschool. In fact, I took the little guy to the doctor today for his check-up and kindergarten shots.  

He was very excited to tell his brother that he had gotten the shots 

was was now ready to start kindergarten after the summer is over.  

I took some small bags, cut them down with pinking scissors, 

dry embossed them with the "thanks" folder in the cuttlebug.  

Looks better "live". 

 If you click on the photo you can probably see the embossed bag better.

Another mom donated yellow plates so I found yellow 

cutlery and used my Twinery butter cream twine. 

Here's the back.  

I secured the twine with a little cute washi tape:

My tag was stamped with the Lawn Fawn chevron and 

then I heat embossed the "thank you" in black.

I saw this project on Pinterest.

HERE is the blog post with picnic ideas. 

I am submitting this project in the Lawnscaping #34: Embossing Challenge (heat or dry)

ker-SPLAT: gift bags

After reading through a couple of challenges, 

I decided to take on a couple as well as try TWO new things!

This is the first time I have used washi tape (LOVE IT!!) 

as well as my first time attempting a splatter.

I don't have any mists, so I took a little Making Memories paint and 

stirred in a generous amount of water and then went OUTSIDE!

I practiced the splatter on some paper and then flicked away at the bags.

I am really happy with the results.  Really fun to try a new technique.

I stamped the daisy image, and then paper pieced and popped them.

These will be gift bags for my boys' main teachers. 
I think they will pick out plants to put in them.

These have a mix of yellow and orange Stickles in the centers of the flowers: 

This one was made in the elementary school colors:

I added shiny fabric paint to the centers:

I am submitting this project into the following challenges:

Moxie Fab World: Splatter!

Paper and Such: May flowers

Supplies:

Stamps: Daisies by Paper and Such, "thank you" by Lawn Fawn

Ink: Memento

Others: MM paint, Prismacolor pencils, washi by K& CO and Bella Blvd
