Springtime cards (with Neat and Tangled)

Hi there! I'm here and on the NT blog this morning, with 2 springtime cards for you. I should mention that it will be snowing in Montreal tonight. but still...

My first card pairs the sweet bunny from Cottontail Cuties with the deer from Into the Woods as well as the Floral Heart frame. I used the wavy banner from Scalloped to prop up the bunny a bit, so that they could stare at each other properly. I love how the little animals work so well together!

I went straight-up Easter for the next card:

Using the Parquet stencil, I sponged on different shades of pink to act as a backdrop for my images (from Cottontail Cuties.)

To add some ground beneath their feet, I stamped the little grass images from the same set, in a way that would stretch to width of my card and used scissors to cut that out by hand. 

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the card base.

I hope you've been inspired to make a few springtime or Easter cards of your own!

Lawn Fawn + Xyron week - wedding cats

Hi there!

Lawn Fawn and Xyron are collaborating this week to bring you fun inspiration using both companies' products.

I've used Xyron's Mega Runner to adhere everything on my card.

The Lawn Fawn supply list is a bit longer.



I dressed up the Meow You Doin'? cats for their wedding. I love that my cousin will open the envelope on his wedding day in July and see this and be all WTF, but there you have it. Wedding cats. I'll distract him with a nice, hefty check. ha.

The wedding accessories come from the set called Bicycle Built for You, and who knew they would work perfectly on the kitties? I love that "furever" fit perfectly into the little flag.

I stamped "wedding day" into 2 Bannertastic banners and snipped them so they could fit snuggly on either side of the happy couple.

I'm still giggling, picturing the reaction to these cats. I don't even know if they prefer dogs.

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

Elephant party pop-up card (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

For the last day of Lawn Fawn inspiration week, we're showing off our best pop-up cards, using the new pop-up add-ons. I've used the Grassy Hillside Pop-up Add-on.



Maia went to a birthday party and I colored the little girl to match the birthday girl. I love that the girl from Bicycle Built For You can ride the elephant from Elphie Selfie! I will definitely be looking for other critters she can sit on!

I hope you like it! It was so much fun to put together. Visit the Lawn Fawn blog for much more pop-up card inspiration - click!

Mother's day flowers

This is my second post today - if you're looking for Lawn Fawn, scroll down or click HERE.

I'm here and on the Avery Elle blog today with this sweet little card for mama:

Are you thinking: gah! more purple?

I can't make any promises that this will be the last. I think it's such a pretty color lately!

The flowers, from Mother's Day, were stamped twice in soft pinks and greens and used to frame the sentiment.



I used the MISTI to double-stamp the sentiment, to make sure that it was good and saturated. I love how it pops.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by.

Bicycle built for you (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!




More purple. I really can't help myself. Lawn Fawn inspiration week continues with a closer look at Bicycle Built For You.  I love all of the little accessories that can take this sweet couple from a casual afternoon ride in the park, to a dressed up post-i-do-can-swinging adventure.



I layered all of my images over a sheet of Watercolor Wishes paper, onto which I flecked white ink for a more dreamy look. I then fit the greeting into a sweeping banner, from Bannertastic.
