Hello friends! I feel like the worst blogger in the world right now. I was so sick in April and May. Around 6 weeks to be exact. I did not have Covid that I am aware of, just a lot of the same symptoms. Needless to say I didn't want to be on my computer so I just used social media to share my projects instead. I hope you are all doing well in your neck of the woods.  Now onto the Lawn Fawn Release. This is the summer release which means everything is brand, brand new! I hope you all followed along on social media and on the Lawn Fawn blog. Was this a fun release or what?!  All of the products will go live on the Lawn Fawn website at midnight tonight.  Ocean Shell-fie is a super cut underwater stamp set. Its a great addition to your critters collection. This is a  slim line card and the background was created using a wave and cloud stencil so it looked like the critters were at the ocean.  Crazy Antics stamp set has images and sentiments to create a cute picnic...

Did you see the blog post over on the SCT blog where my craft room was shown? If not you are in luck. Here are some images of my craft room and how I store my supplies.  One of my counter height tables. This is also where I photograph my cards.  This is how I store some of the ink pads that I use the most.  My MISTI's are tools that never leave my desk. How I store my twine. Some paper storage Where I sit and think about happy projects

Hello friends! Here is a card that I made just for fun to send in the mail.  Its healthy to create for no other reason than to make someone smile. It helps my mental health and clears my mind. All products used are Lawn Fawn .  To start, I ink blended bright and colorful clouds using the cloud stencil. The sentiment was stamped in a blue ink in the center. The solid images were stamped randomly and then I decided it needed to have a little bit of design elements and so I created the long tail of flowers. 

Hello friends. For those who celebrate I hope you enjoy this Easter weekend. How are all of you doing? Quarantine is weird. Some days I am fine and some days I find myself really missing my friends. Missing a great meal at my favorite restaurants or even just the simple pleasure of grocery shopping. Everything seems so stressful. But, I am so thankful that I have a craft room where I can escape and make pretty cards to send out.  Today my friend Laurie Willison has a new line of dies from Spellbinders called Effortless Greetings.  These are made to be use with the Glimmer Machine. The Glimmer Machine allows you to letterpress foil onto your projects.  For this blue card. I used the Framed Details hot glimmer plate. It has this sweeping branch leaves plate as well as a double rectangle frame (that I will show on other projects below), that I foiled in gold. Then using the same blue cardstock and gold foil, I used the Effortless Sentiment Glimmer "thank you" ...

Hello friends! How are you all doing? The state of the world is definitely strange right now. This is a wonderful time to take a little time for yourself and be creative. For myself, papercrafting has always been therapy and I will continue to carve out a little bit of time each day to my craft room to escape.  For this card I first blended a white die cut panel using red, orange, yellow, green and blue inks. Then using Offset Saying, Birthday, I stamped the sentiments using the same inks.  The main sentiment and music notes were stamped onto the panel in black ink. The critters were stamped in black ink, colored in with copic markers, cut out with scissors and then adhered to the panel using foam adhesive onto a Kraft card base.  Just looking at this card makes me happy, and I cannot wait to put it in the mail.  I hope you are still following along with the Lawn Fawn March inspiration week, and check out all of the beautiful projects on the blog...

This scalloped treat bag is one of my favorite stand alone dies from Lawn Fawn. It is the perfect die to pair with patterned paper. Today, I am sharing this bag created out of the Dandy Day patterned paper with some of the Say What Spring Critters. The critters were stamped in black ink, colored in with copic markers then cut out and adhered to the bag.  Twine was added to the top for an embellishment.  Cute little Easter bags are a great way to package small treats.

March Inspiration week continues over at the Lawn Fawn blog! Today the stamp set called Super Star is being showcased. It has these cute mice, great sentiments and images to create out of this world projects.  I created a night sky by blending a few different colors of Distress Oxide inks. Once happy with the blending results, I flicked some water onto the ink to activate it. Then also flicked gold sparkly watercolor ink over it as well. This is how the sky looks starry. The mouse and telescope were stamped in black ink onto white, then colored in with copic markers. The images were cut out using scissors and then adhered onto the card using foam adhesive.  I am also sharing a layout where I used the same stamp set. Using stamps on layouts is a way to stretch your supplies.
