Introducing...Bright Side!!!!

There is exciting news!  Lawn Fawn is debuting a paper line at CHA called Bright Side.  Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog for a chance to win this fun line!!

a blurb from Kelly.

The video above was entirely made with Lawn Fawn paper and stickers! That's right! Lawn Fawn paper!!!!! From the very beginning we had this happy little dream for Lawn Fawn and adding this paper line fulfills a huge part of that dream! We could not be more thrilled to be able to offer 10 new stamp sets, 8 12x12 papers (two of which are a beautiful kraft), a 6x6 paper pad, a 12x12 alphabet sticker sheet, a 12x12 collection kit and two different "Lawn Trimmings" hemp cord packs! We hope that you guys are excited as we are! We have been working on this for so long, and we are so glad to finally be able to spill the beans!

My Stud Muffin

Here is a fun card, perfect for the stud muffin in your life (ha ha ha), that sentiment and image combined gives me serious giggles.  I'm thinking, I might leave it in my husbands car one day, so he will find it on his way to work.  Something cute like that, would make is day a little better.

For this card I used a few different Lawn Fawn stamp sets, Love n' Breakfast and Bannerific.  I really like the layout of this card, it would be really easy to change out the image and sentiment.

Materials Used:
Bannerific
Love n' Breakfast
red cardstock
My Minds Eye pattern paper
Spellbinders M-bossabilites

memento ink

Hugs, Hugs, Hugs

Happy Sunday folks.  I hope you are bundled up and keeping warm today.  I know down here in Florida the temperatures have dropped a little...more like a lot, but it is a nice excuse to go to Starbucks lol.

Anyhow, today I am showing you a fun card, clean just the way I like it, with a little pop of color.  I have a few friends who don't live anywhere near me, but I wish I could give them a big ole hug...that is where the inspiration came from when I was making this card. The image and sentiments are both from Avocado Arts.  The cute little owl is a sneak from the February set called, Wishes and Kind Thoughts.  It is hard to see in this picture, but I added Glossy Accents to the glasses (too stinking cute).  Glossy Accents is a cool liquid adhesive, that when used alone, when it dries it can resemble glass...cool stuff.  

The entire team is posting today (there are some new faces), so be sure to check them out too!

Thank you Spellbinders Paper Arts for sponsoring this contest!

Here are the new dies I introduced:

Sku Name S4-354 Splendid Circles

MSRP: $24.99

DIE SIZES:

1. ¾ inches

2. 1 ½ inches

3.  2 3/8 inches

4.  4 inches

Today, I am going to share with you how I made this quick and easy mini book.

First, I started by gathering my supplies.  Bazzill cardstock, pattern paper, KaiserCraft stickers, Beacon Adhesives, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam squares and tape runner, Pictures, Spellbinders Die Templates, Spellbinders Grand Calibur®, ribbon and button.

To create the cover, place the die templates blade side down onto the cardstock on the cutting plate.   To ensure the dies did not move during this process, I used a low tack tape (painters tape).  The cardstock is ready to be cut.

Once the diecuts are cut out, run through the Grand Cailbur® Die Cutting and Embossing machine once more to emboss.  Using the A Base plate, dies with paper attached (blade side up),Tan Embossing Mat and B Embossing Plate, run through the Spellbinders Grand Calibur Machine. (This is the sandwich to emboss)

Now, that the paper is cut and embossed, it is time to adhere it together.  Take the Zip Dry adhesive and liberally spread it over the back side of the patterned paper, then place it in the center of the orange card stock. 

Apply foam tape to the white die cut.

Apply to the pattern paper.

Cut/emboss picture using die template #2 from the Splendid Circles set. Again, I used painters tape to keep the die in place.

Apply die cuts to the front, and add letter stickers to create a title.  To create depth, add foam tape to die cuts.

Use larger pictures to create the inside pages.

Apply adhesive to the backside of the cover.

Adhere picture to the cover.

Keep repeating these steps, until your mini book has enough pages.  Once you are finished, bind the pages using a D-ring, and add ribbon to decorate (if you want).

Completed project:

For a second project, I created a tag that is ready to be used on a gift, gift bag, or even on a card.

Personalized Envelopes

I had every intention on getting my New Years photo cards out already, but I have not.  I'm still working on the envelopes.  It is funny how I simplify things by getting photo cards made, but make the process so much harder by decorating the envelopes lol.  I had stamped and personalized a few envelopes for the Christmas cards I handed out (there were only a few...) and I thought it was so much fun and cute to decorate them, that I decided to do it again.  I love personalizing things for my friends.

It is very simple and easy to do, you just have to be careful because the paper that envelopes are made out of is really thin.  So if you color on them with copics (like I did) have a very light touch because the ink wants to spread.  I also put a sheet of paper on the inside, so the ink wouldn't bleed through the entire envelope.

Now all I need to do, is address these, put a stamp on them and drive 30 minutes to the nearest post office lol.  

Materials Used:
Lawn Fawn Blissful Botanicals
Lawn Fawn Quinn's ABC's
Lawn Fawn Say Cheese
Lawn Fawn Critters in the Forest
Copic markers
Memento ink

You're my cup of tea...welcome 2012!

Wow!  Today is January 1, 2012...the first day of the new year.  I wish you all a blessed year, filled with love, good health and happy memories.  As my children get older, I get really sentimental as each year passes, I kind of wish I could freeze time.   I never really knew what people meant, when they would tell me to enjoy my children being little because times goes by so quick.  Now that they are older, I totally get it.  

One thing that I learned in 2011, was how much my girlfriends mean to me.  Most, don't even live close to me, but the way they uplift and encourage me, one would think they were sitting right next to me.  There were many lessons and experiences that I will take with me from 2011, but I am excited for what 2012 holds.  I hope this new year is great for all of us!

Before I get way off topic lol...I will share my card with you.

The Avocado Arts design team, are posting projects made with the Sweet Treat Sweetie set today.  For this card, I knew I wanted it to be clean, and tone on tone.  I started out using a really pale green, but as I got further into the design process, I switched gears and went to a winter white card stock.  The cup of tea was colored in using Copic markers (r20, r27, r29, e33, e57, c0, c01, c03).

Sweet Treat Sweetie tag and envelope set

Here is a fun tag and matching envelope set I created, using the January stamp set from Avocado Arts called, Sweet Treat Sweetie.  I even snuck in some chevrons from the October set...I really like how the envelope liner turned out (I stamped it in Versamark ink).  Did you know Avocado Arts has digi files that coordinate with the stamp sets?  Well they do!  I was able to cut out that little thermometer out on my Cameo, then stamp my image onto it.  If you have a Cricut, Cameo, Robocraft or any other digital cutter and hate fussy cutting around your stamped images, then you might want to consider getting the digi files along with your stamp set.

Did you hear Avocado Arts has expanded it's design team?  Four fabulous woman have joined the team...and I'm not just saying that, they are exceptional designers and are sweethearts to boot!  Check out all of the latest happening over on the Avocado Arts blog.  While you are at it, take a little blog stroll to see what the other designers are sneaking for you today using the Sweet Treat Sweetie set.

Cute photo sleeve

This holiday season, I took a lot of pictures...probably too many.  Now that my pictures are developed, I wanted to make a cute photo sleeve to put the pictures in.  It makes for nice presentation when I give them away, and keeps them safe from finger prints.

For this project, I used American Crafts pattern paper, Bazzill card stock, Lawn Fawn stamps, Scor tape, and ribbon...I also used a Cameo to cut out the shapes.  Here are a few pictures to help describe how I made this project.

Finished photo sleeve, with pictures inside, ready to give as a gift.

Thanks

Now that Christmas is over, it is time to give a few, "thank you" cards.  I like this layout, it would be easy to produce a few cards like it without getting overwhelmed.  Most likely I will change the colors up, so that it flows better.  I think if that green strip of pattern paper was more blue, it would have complimented the red and yellow better...hindsight is 20-20 right?  

It is always nice to have extra "thank you" cards on hand, so this week, I plan on making a bunch.

For this card, I used what was out and in front of me...yellow card stock, American Crafts pattern paper, Lawn Fawn stamps and a chipboard coaster (that I die cut out).  I have a huge scrap mess to clean up, so a few cards made from left over scraps are in order.

Have a great week!

My hero

Just a quick little post to say hello, and hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season with your families.  We enjoyed a nice Christmas yesterday.  It consisted of, sleeping in, eating, going to the movies and eating some more.  It was perfect.

While we were together as a family, there are many military members who were away from theirs.  So, I thank them for their service.  If you have a minute during this festive time of year, say a little prayer for those deployed.  Being away from the ones you love the most at Christmastime, is unbearably sad.

Here is a little card dedicated to all of the heroes out there.

Have a great day!!

Avocado Arts: Happy Birthday

It is the 15th of the month, that means I get to show a sneak peak of the January stamp set from Avocado Art called Sweet Treat Sweetie.  It has everything you would need to make, from Birthday to Valentine's Day, and I Love You cards.

The Happy Birthday sentiment really stood out to me, so I knew I wanted to make a birthday card.  I chose to use the candle stamp to accompany the sentiment (if candles are not your thing, there is a cute cupcake to use instead).  At first I was going to stamp them onto the kraft card base, but it looked a little plain, or maybe my design was all wrong...or both lol.  So I stamped them onto ivory card stock and die cut it out using a Spellbinders die template.  The hearts in the corners are from the December set.  The die cut is popped up with foam tape, and the bakers twine I believe is from the Twinery.

Check out the rest of the designers and what they are sneaking today:

Simple recipe for card:
1. Cut/score card stock.
2. Stamp hearts in red ink in top opposing corners.
3. Tie twine around card front into bows.
4. Die cut ivory card stock.
5. Stamp images (color in with copics) and sentiment with black ink.
6. Adhere diecut to card using foam tape.

Lawn Fawn & Glue Arts

Lawn Fawn is having a product swap with Glue Arts Adhesives this week.  Designers from both companies will be sharing their projects everyday with you.  

Today, I am sharing a bright and happy Get Well Soon card.  With it being winter, and prime time for cold/flu season, I need to have a stash of these cards ready to give out.  After I die cut card stock using a Spellbinders die template, I stamped a few images from the On The Mend stamp set.  While I was deciding how to color in my images, I got started on the card base.  The green polka dotted card stock is from Bo Bunny (it seriously is one of my staples), and I adhered the American Crafts pattern paper to the card base using Glue Arts adhesive.  To have a little bit of contrast between the two bright papers, I added a little piece of kraft card stock.  I added some silk May Arts ribbon, and rounded the bottom corner.  Once the card base was done, I just grabbed a few Copic markers that seemed to coordinate with the pattern paper (it is easier to match that way).  After I was done coloring in the image, I stamped the sentiment and adhered the label to the card using the Glue Arts U CUT IT, 3D foam (Its a big square, and you just cut off what you need).

Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog and Glue Arts blog for more inspiration with these products!

Love n Breakfast day 2

Today, I am sneaking another card using the Love n Breakfast set from Lawn Fawn.  I just wanted to make a bright, happy card.  

I started by stamping a background onto the card stock, by stamping a row of cups, then hearts in versa mark ink.  The tray was stamped onto white card stock in memento ink, colored in with Copic markers, cut out with scissors and adhered to the card using foam tape.  I originally was going to stamp the image and then die cut it with a shape, but it just didn't look right...so I went to plan "b", which was fussy cutting it out.  The image was stamped onto white card stock, and then adhered to the card.  I think it helps ground the card a little bit.  If I had just stamped the sentiment directly onto the green card stock, the image might look like its floating.  I rounded the bottom corners, added some bling and now I have this super happy card to give away :)

Lawn Fawn: Love n Breakfast

Today and tomorrow, the Lawn Fawn design team will be showcasing a brand new stamp set called Love n Breakfast.  If you are like me, and love smiley faces on toasters, muffins, toast, salt & pepper shakers and giggle over "punny" sentiments, then you are going to LOVE this set.

I mean seriously.  Look at the smiley face on the toaster and toast!  Pure happiness right there.

I used the CPS sketch 247 for my layout (switched it a teensy), so it made making this card super easy.  The toaster and toast, are colored in using Copic markers, and the pattern paper is by My Minds Eye.  Is it just me, or is their paper lines getting better and better?  The trim, is actually this suede feeling ribbon from May Arts.  I think I may have found the perfect ribbon to put on a masculine card, other than twine.  

Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog, for a chance to win this set!

Warm the heart

Wow, December 1st??  How is it that every year I get older, time goes by so fast?  As a child it seemed as though time stood still.  I find it to be crazy its December, at least I am pretty much done with Christmas shopping, but I do need to work on my Christmas cards.  I don't really have a plan for those yet...I will probably pull out some stamps, holiday papers and stickers and make a grand mess, but it will be fun.  

Speaking of Christmas cards, here is a fun little ditty that I made the other day.  I used the December Avocado Arts stamp set.  I plan on sending this out for the holidays, but if I changed out that green strip of paper, it could easily be a general winter card, or even a Valentine's Day card.

Head on over to the Avocado Arts blog, to check out all the happenings this month, and visit the other lovely designer too!  Oh, just a little ps...Did you know that Avocado Arts has digi files to match the stamp sets?  If you have a Cricut, Silhouette, Robocraft or any digital cutting system, these are for you!!  Isn't that cool!  More info is on the AA blog, so check it out!

Snow much nerdy peeps

I have noticed something lately.  I am using red, kraft & stickles a whole lot.  I just can't help it, it's helping me get into the holiday spirit.  I kinda, sorta, really like snowmen this year too?!?  They are just so cute!  

Today, I am showing a fun holiday card using the December stamp set from Avocado Arts.  It has a few different snowmen to build, some snowflakes, cute sentiments and a sled (I know I'm forgetting something else, so I apologize in advance).  

To make this card, I stamped the sled in versa mark ink, onto the kraft card base.  While that was drying I cut/embossed card stock, using the Bracket Edgabilities from Spellbinders.  Before adhering the two pieces together, I stamped snowflakes & the sentiment (I added stickles to the center of the snowflakes).  The snowman was paper pieced together on separate card stock, then adhered with foam tape.  I adhered the pieces together, and then to the card front.  I was going to add twine or something, but I saw these Zva crystals I have been hoarding, which seems like forever.  I'm done with hoarding my stuff, so I slapped that swirl right on my card without even thinking twice about it (I lie, I thought about it lol).  I kind of wanted to round the corners, but the crystals were blocking the way...hindsight is always 20/20.  

Well, make sure to visit the other designers to see what fun stuff they created.

Lawn Fawn & May Arts day 2

This week the Lawn Fawn is teaming up with May Arts ribbon.  Everyday a couple of designers will bring you a fun project.  I created a few Christmas tags, using Lawn Fawn stamps and of course some pretty trims from May Arts.  The candy canes, I plan on putting on a bag or a gift, it is a cheap way to add a little holiday spirit to a gift.  On one of the tags, I used this silvery, sparkly trim, it almost feels like tinsel (its really cool!), and then on the other candy cane I used the ultra thin silk ribbon, which is so lush.  It is so soft, and really ties the prettiest bows.  On the biggest tag, the trim I used almost feels like yarn (really soft & thick).  It reminds me of bakers twine but super soft and fluffy.  Except for the silk ribbon, I had never used the other two trims before.  When I first opened the box of ribbon/trims that were sent to me, I honestly didn't think I would like the silvery trim, but I'm a fan now.  I'm thinking of a few ways to use it on some holiday cards.

Make sure you head on over to the Lawn Fawn blog, where you have a chance to win a big bundle of May Art ribbon!!

Happy Thanksgiving & a fun holiday card and tag

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American Friends.  Today, I will enjoy having my children and husband home with me.  Just us four, relaxing, eating, watching tv.  It's the little things that make me happy.  Later tonight, we will have a small dinner.  A Smithfield honey spiral ham, mashed potatoes, sage sausage stuffing, rolls, glazed carrots, steamed asparagus, canned cranberry sauce (request from my husband lol...he likes the canned stuff better than fresh), then pumpkin and apple pie for dessert.  

I try to count my blessing all year long, but today I have been filled to the brim with all that I am thankful for.  I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with blessings.  I plan on getting my craft on a little later!  It is time to start on holiday cards, tags and presents!

I originally was planning on using both of these as tags, but I thought the snowman and the bird label, would look great on a card.  

I love, love, love to make tags!  Just grab some scrap cardstock, the pieces that are too small for a card, some of your favorite die templates, holiday stamps and maybe copics and stickles.  One cannot have too much glitter around the holidays.

When you give a gift, it just makes the gift so much more meaningful when it is given with a homemade card and tag.  The recipient feels special.  I like making people feel good, even if it is through a card.  Sometimes, that is all I have to give.  As much as I would love to, we just don't have the money to buy gifts for everyone we love.  So a pretty card will do.

Fall Sneak Peek Blog Hop for Crafters Home, Day Two

Spellbinders and participating stores in the Crafters Home Buying Group are excited to introduce three new die template sets sold exclusively through Crafters Home stores through January! You’ll have to wait until February to find these die template designs in non-member stores. 

These new dies are in stock! Get yours now at a participating Crafters Home store! See the Spellbinders Blog for a list of participating stores.

Visit designer blogs to enter the daily contests and see inspiring projects using the new releases. Comment on Designers Blogs and the Spellbinders Blog count as entries into daily drawings. Daily winners receive all three of the new designs!

Today's new die is S5-068 Dress Forms

$19.99

Lattice Dress: 1 7/8 x 2 ¼”

Scalloped Hem Dress: 2 1/8 x 2 5/8”

Plain Dress Form: 1 ¾ x 3 1/8”

Swirled Dress: 1 ¾ x 3 1/8”

For my card base, I used the S4-341 Wavy Rectangle dies that was introduced yesterday.  I then cut/embossed the Scalloped Hem Dress die.  To create the pattern on the dress, I used the E8-004 Classic Ric Rac Edgabilities die template to cut out strips of pattern paper.  I laid the strips onto the dress, glued them down and trimmed off the excess.  For the center beading, I used some black Want2Scrap rhinestones.  The sentiment is from the Big Day Essentials stamp set from Waltzingmouse Stamps.  The dress didn't look quite right adhered directly to the card front, so I popped it up with foam tape, to give the card a little more dimension.
