Lawnscaping Challenge #84 - Stars and/or Stripes

Hi there!  It's time for another Lawnscaping Challenge!

Challenge #84 is all about stars and/or stripes!

We are sponsored this week by the super fabulous Lawn Fawn!

For my card, I used some of the striped paper from the Let's Polka 6x6 paper pad and one of my new favorites, Louie's ABCs dies! Goodness, I LOVE these dies!  I pulled out my Flutter by stamp set, and stamped the one-winged butterfly twice, once perched on top of the alpha diecut, and once on a piece of scrap card stock.  I colored the wings the same, and then cut out one wing and popped it up on a slight angle  on top of the other butterfly, giving the butterfly two wings.  

You can see here how much dimension that gives, and with a few sequins, a splash of glitter pen and some coral twine, it's really finished off.

For all of the challenge details and to see more inspiration from the design team, be sure to visit the Lawnscaping blog!  We hope you'll join us for a chance to win a great prize!

Thanks for stopping by!

White on White Thank You {Lawn Fawn}

Good Morning!  Yesterday I shared some beach themed teacher gifts with you, and today, I have the thank you card that accompanied them to share.  I was so happy with how my first card turned out that I made a few more, assembly line style.  I used Lawn Fawn's Life Is Good stamp set and dies, and the new Louie's ABCs...  Oh my goodness, I LOVE LOVE LOVE these alpha dies!!  The size is fantastic, and the font is so fun!

I wanted the palm tree and flip flops to stand out on the card, so I diecut white letters and glued them to a white card base.  The result is so awesome.  It almost looks embossed.  

If you want to see the coordinating gifts that I shared yesterday, you can find them here. 

That's it for me today...  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Dressed up Succulents {Lawn Fawn}

Hi there!

It's our first day of summer vacation here and for the next couple of days, I will have a few end of the year gifts to share with you.  Our boys had wonderful teachers this year and they were excited to give them thank you cards and little gifts in appreciation for all that they have done this year.

Logan had two female teachers this year, and he wanted to give them plants.  

I've been fascinated with succulents lately so we decided that we'd gift some to the teachers.  I wanted to dress them up a bit, so I used Lawn Fawn's new Life is Good stamp set and coordinating dies and the Puffy Star Stackables to make some little plant picks.  I had gotten tiny plastic buckets and shovels awhile back because they were too cute to resist, and I'd been saving them for the perfect project.  The little succulents fit  perfectly. :)

Here are a few closeups as well:

That's all for now... I'll be back to share the male teacher's gift and the cards I made in a bit.  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn Life is Good

Dies: Lawn Fawn Life is Good, Puffy Star Stackables

Paper: Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine, Let's Polka 6x6 pads

Other: Lawn Fawn Peppermint Twine, Wooden BBQ Sticks, Copic Markers

Lawnscaping Challenge #83 - Embossing

Hi there!

It's time for another Lawnscaping Challenge!  Challenge #83 is all about Embossing!

This week we are sponsored by Simon Says Stamp!

For my card, I used the Science of Love stamp set and dies.  I created patterned paper by drawing stripes with the broad end of my Copic markers, then I popped a white panel up with foam squares.  I stamped, colored and die cut the nerdy birds from the stamp set, and then heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of aqua cardstock.

Please be sure to visit the blog for more challenge details and lots of inspiration from the rest of the design team.  We hope you'll join us for a chance to win an awesome prize!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:

Papertrey Ink May Blog Hop!

Hi there!  It's time for another PTI Blog Hop, and this month, the theme is Aqua and Melon.  This color combination is so huge right now, though I must admit, it's not one that I gravitate towards.  For some reason, I had mint on the mind, not aqua, so my card has a bit more green in it.

I used the new Ballerina Beauty stamp and die set for my card, along with the Circle Scribbles stamp set and  Loop de Loop border die.

I hope this little ballerina is the start of a "people series" for PTI.  I just love her! :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Supplies (all PTI unless noted):

Stamps: Ballerina Beauty, Circle Scribbles

Paper: Rustic Cream, Melon Berry, Road Trip PP

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Fine Linen, Tea Dye Duo

Dies: Ballerina Beauty, Loop de Loop Border

Other: Copic Markers, Foam Squares, Melon Berry Twill ribbon

Red & Gold Doodlie Do {Papertrey Ink}

Hi there!

Today I have a card to share with you that I made for my aunt for Mother's Day.  I used the same layout as one one of my other Doodlie Do cards, just changed up the colors and a few other little things.  Have you ever found a stamp set, that no matter how many times you use it, still brings inspiration every time you pull it out?  In case you haven't guessed, Doodlie Do does that for me. *wink*  I am still so smitten with this stamp set.  Anyway, onto the card...  Haha!

I used Background Basics: Tin Types for the lattice pattern, and some Pure Poppy bitty dot paper edged with the Pinked Edge border die.  The flowers were colored with copics, and it may be a bit hard to see in the picture, but I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter pen to them as well.

Hope you like!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Supplies (all PTI unless noted):

Stamps: Doodlie Do, BB: Tin Types

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Pure Poppy, Tea Dye Duo

Paper: SS White, Scarlet Jewel, Pure Poppy Pattern Pack

Dies: Pinked Edge Border

Other: Copics, Popdots, Pure Poppy Bakers Twine, Harvest Gold button, Wink of Stella Pen, Signo White gel pen
