bah humbug {lawn fawn inspiration week}

Hi there! It's the last of the September posts for Lawn Fawn's inspiration week (but, I realized that I forgot to post yesterday, so expect a bonus pillow box project on the blog tomorrow!)

Today, we're showing off Baaah Humbug.



I really like how this card turned out! I stamped a lot of the tiny images onto a piece of white cardstock, colored them in red and white and then masked all of the tiny images (yup!) so that I could rub ink over the entire thing for that vintage feel.

I used the stitched rectangle dies to frame out the base layer, and then started on the focal image.

The partial die-cut technique is perfect for cutting out the sheep and his hat as one piece. It gives the image a more polished look (as opposed to seeing the white die-cut edge of the hat on top of the sheep's head.)

For all the red and white and brown on the card, I wanted a punch of something graphic for the sentiment. White heat embossing onto black cardstock does the trick every time.

I hope you like it! There's more to see on the Lawn Fawn blog today - click!

santa's belly and winter alpaca {lawn fawn inspiration week}

Welcome back to another day of Lawn Fawn inspiration! I have 2 projects to share today.



The first is a different take on the pillow box add-ons, Santa's Belly. I made a Santa face! I used all of the same pieces to create him: the buttons became eyes, the scalloped pieces became beard and hat trim, and the belt was shortened tremendously to become his nose.

I started out with a white pillow box, and added detail to it. First, I grabbed a skin-colored copic marker and marked off a rectangle that would become his face.  I then die-cut a second pillow box in red and cut a piece to glue on top (for his hat) and another for his outfit.  The back of the pillow box is still white.

As a reminder, this is what the pillow box is meant to look like, with the Santa's Belly die-set:

And this is my guy:

I think he turned out so cute!

I also have a card to show off using the new set, Winter Alpaca.



I paired him with an older set, Fanciful Frames. and added texture to the alpaca using liquid appliqué. When you heat that stuff up, it bubble a bit and is so perfect for fuzzy alpaca texture.

My kids loved this set so much! They've been giggling "alpaca my scarf" for weeks now!

ready, set, snow {lawn fawn inspiration week}

Hi there! I'm back with more for Lawn Fawn's September inspiration week.  Today, we're showing off the snowglobe set, Ready, set, snow.



I had some leftover gingham stamped cardstock (from yesterday's card) so I used it to create this banner-shaped card. I hope you don't think I'm lazy. I just loved the gingham so much!



I used the shaker add-on dies to create this fun shaker element on the card. I used the puffy cloud border to create a waving snow bank behind them, and paper from the let's bokeh collection for the dreamy snowy background.



If the extra effort of a shaker card isn't your thing, the same exact stamping works without the add-ons dies. I stamped the same snowmen inside the snowglobe and just used the regular die to cut out the outline. It's still so cute! I dressed up the top of a little gift box and it's ready for gift-card giving in the holiday season. As long as I remember that I made it and where I put it. Does that happen to anyone else? Last year, after I spent a frenzied week making things for the kids' classes, I opened a cupboard to find that I had already made a bunch of stuff earlier in the season. {facepalm}
