Dare to Dream!

Saw the sketch on the Lawnscaping Challenge Blog and decided to make a card.

I used Lawn Fawn's Dream set and lined them up on the diagonal from the sketch.

I would never have thought of this design without seeing the sketch!

This card is flat and easy to mail!

Have a great day!

Fintastic Any Occasion Card

Happy Fall.

 

Sharing a card I made using the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge #144

 

This also features the sentiment on the card for

the Lawnscaping Challenge #115: sentiments

 

 

 

Here's the sketch:

Here's my take on the sketch using Lawn Fawn's "Fintastic Friends" stamp and die sets.

The background was misted with blue Shimmerz spray and

then I flicked distress ink/water combo.

 

The sentiment was stamped and embossed with black powder:

 

 

 

 I don't "watercolor" and mist much at all.

Nice to use that watercolor paper I bought MONTHS ago.

Very happy how this one turned out. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Kelly

THANKS for a great year....

Made cards and bags for the boys' teachers.

Features Lawn Fawn's new "A Good Apple" set.

The sentiment was embossed on the black piece. 

The apples, erasers and chalk pieces were stamped, colored and cut out. 

There's a bit of Glossy Accents on the apples.

The red polka dot paper is MME. 

I stamped an apple on the envelopes too:

Here are some other bags I made.  I ran out of the polka paper.

 

What will go in the bags?

These mason jars with a flower.
The idea is straight from Pinterest.

Winter Card

Today I have a winter card.

 I used the prompts from Merry Monday down the right side (snow, white, ribbon).

 

I embossed white snowflakes on the front panel, added a couple strips of paper at the bottom and smeared Liquid Pearls on top.

  

I colored the bunny with Copics and cut him out, removing the stamped scarf.

I added the twine for texture and a punch of color.  I tried to mimic the flow of the original scarf securing the twine with Glossy Accents.

 

 Supplies:  

Stamps:  Lawn Fawn's "Frosties" and "Winter Bunny"

snowflakes ribbon from Brandi (THANKS)

Other: twine, embossing powder

A Hello Card for Lanie!

Bought this Lost and Found paper when it came out last year and 

shoved it in my storage box.

Not sure why I bought it b/c it really doesn't go with anything I scrapbook and I ordered enough for a two page layout.  I have passed over this paper so many times over the past year trying to find the mojo to use it.

The current Lawnscaping Challenge is to dust something off and use it.  

Well, I did it.

I pulled all the papers and decided that it WAS going to be used!
 There's a couple stitches on this one too which is a rarity for me.

I came up with this little "hello" card that will be headed to Nikki Sivils who is doing a card drive for Lanie, her former employee who is battling cancer.

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" and "You've Got Mail"

Papers:  MME

Burlap Ribbon

I am also submitting this unto the Simon Says Stamp: Thinking Of You Challenge
B/c I am thinking of this woman and I hope this card will bring her joy and the Moxie Fab World Canvas, Cork and Burlap Challenge. 

Please consider joining this card drive and even the one I am hosting too 
called a Card Drive for Addison, my friend's little girl who was diagnosed 
with Leukemia at the end of September. Great prizes!

Thank for stopping by,

Kelly

Polaroid Birthday Card

Been busy here at our house.

My husband and I ripped all the shelving out of our master closet then patched, painted and rehung new shelving this weekend.  SO much more functional.

I am still working on the 16 scrapbook pages (8 for each child) 

from our vacation last summer.

The basics are completed, just need to embellish a bit.  

Nothing to write home about, just simple pages to remember the trip.

Made little progress on my 3 dimensional art project for our bedroom.

Bought the wrong paper, ran out of spray paint, ran out of glue sticks, ran out of motivation, 

yadda yadda

Anyway, sharing a card I made this morning.  

Lots if birthdays coming in October so I need to stock up!

 The sentiments are supposed to mimic a flash going off...

Ok so this is my first attempt at coloring with Copics.

I won 40 of the Copic Ciao markers from Kathy's blog giveaway.

I admit I did not review any videos prior to coloring.

If you know of some good ones, please link me up.

I think it is *ok* for my first go at it.  
Maybe looks better from a distance, hee hee

L40: Make a background

howdy!

Had some fun making this little gem.

Created the background using two stamps from Lawn Fawn's "Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum"

using white embossing powder.  I did two lines at a time.

Supplies:

Stamps by Lawn Fawn

Paper: cs by Bazzill and patterned papers by MME

Other: embossing powder, Spellbinders Wonky rectangles, Hemtique string, Fiskars punch

I am entering this card into the Lawnscaping Challenge #40:

and Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes!

All was well and good until I stabbed myself with the
stick pin I had in my bottle of Glossy Accents.

 And we're not talking a prick, but the thing was REAL deep and ached for a while.

So glad not to get any blood on the card after painstakingly making that background!

hee hee

Thanks for looking... and be careful out there crafters, it is a dangerous game we play....

thank you card featuring Lawn Fawn

HI there!

Sharing a "thank You" card I made for someone.

CAS look.  

Used Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend" flower vase and a 

Lawn Fawn "thank you" that was a freebie in one of my orders.

I scored the top and then embossed the "thank you" in white.

I used 3 different colored pink pencils on the flower and added a bit of Stickles.

I put  a touch of Glossy Accents on the vase.
