Bean meaning to say... (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

It's the last day for this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. I hope you've enjoyed it!



Today we're showing off the new How You Bean? stamp set and add-on shaker dies. I turned things upside down to create a jar of birthday jelly beans, spilling out for extra fun.

Just an fyi: jelly beans are the best candies ever. Red ones are my favorite. Back to the card:



I took the time to add gloss to each jelly bean. Totally worth it. They look yummy!

Kelly Marie used my card as inspiration for one of the cards in her video this morning - click!

City Celebrations (Avery Elle)

Hi there!

I made a card with the new City Celebrations cover-plate die. I love that it covers the entire card-front!

I cut out the city-scape 2x, so that I could color and layer the balloons and banner over the base layer. I colored the buildings in different shades of grey, and gave the windows and building outlines a soft blue wash. I wanted the pop to come from those glossy balloons! I colored them and coated them with glossy accents before glueing them onto the card.

The sentiment is from the coordinating stamp set, also called City Celebrations.

I hope you like it!

St-Patty's day boxes (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!



The team is showing off the new Fancy Box die, and I made a trio of St-Patrick's Day boxes for my kiddos.

I cut the boxes out of green papers (I thought it would be fun to mix patterned and solid papers) and then cut into the tops with the label die so that you could see the gold coin chocolates. I love that the coins are totally Canadian, haha.

I decorated each box with some gold twine and a Tiny Tag. The tiny tags are stamped with images from Plan On It: Calendar and Plan On It: Holidays. I didn't even know we had that little leprechaun guy!

I hope you like my little fancy boxes. I had so much fun making them that you'll see more St-Patty's day decorations in a few weeks for my monthly Lawn Fawn party post!  In the meantime, there's more to see on the LF blog this morning - click!

Slide on over (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to another day of Lawn Fawn's February inspiration week!  We're showing off the new Slide on Over Circles dies, perfect for making fun interactive cards.

I used a partial die-cut technique to cut out a half circle for the Year Seven pinata to swing from.  I gave the whole front panel a wash in Spun Sugar distress ink, and flicked water over the top to get those gorgeous freckles.



The pinata, and all of the candy, were colored in soft yellow, purple, pink and mint. I made this for a little 6 year old in Maia's class, and I heard it was a hit.

I hope you like it! There's more to see on the LF blog this morning - click!

Out of this world! (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!



Welcome back to another day of Lawn Fawn's February inspiration week! We're showing off Out of This World, the cutest little astronaut set!

For my card, I started out with a piece of navy blue cardstock (Lawn Fawn's Blue Jay cardstock) and layered dark blue and black inks over it to create a deep, dark sky. Starting with a colored cardstock is so much quicker than layering colors onto a white paper. I flicked some white paint on top, and die-cut a slew of stars (using the Starry Skies die) to complete the background look.



Then, it was just a matter of coloring and layering all of the images - my favorite part!  As I was putting the pieces onto the dark background, I thought the white border around the images was too stark. In the close-up picture, you can see that I sponged a touch of black ink around the edges.

If you'd like to see more of this card, hop over to the LF blog this morning - Kelly Marie re-created this card in her video!
