Yee-haw! A barn party for Lawn Fawn

Hi there!

I'm here and on the Lawn Fawn blog this morning with some ideas for a barn or farm-themed party.



I used the critters from Hay There to make adorable cupcake toppers and drink tags.

I stamped out the background of the sign using Gingham Backdrops (perfect for a barn-theme!) and spelled out the greeting using Cole's ABCs dies.

I stamped more gingham onto Tiny Tags for the drink bottles. I chose the cross-stitched circle dies to mat the chick onto - they give a country kind of feel, don't they?



My favorite party element are these barn milk bottle favor boxes. So easy to make! and they reinforce the theme perfectly.  A folded piece of white paper acts as a roof and all I needed to create the barn door was a square frame die and a few extra strips of cardstock.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Hay There (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

All of the new Lawn Fawn collection is available in the store right now - woot!



Kelly Marie re-created this card on the LF blog yesterday. I love it when she does that, it's fun for me to see someone else craft my design.

I used the new Hay There stamp set, and the Peekaboo backdrop. The sky is Gotta Have Gingham. I can't stop using that paper pad - it's so soft and perfect for spring.

That horse with the blond hair, though... haha. diva.

Easter party (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to more of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. Today, we're showing off the Easter Party stamp set, as well as the Outside In Easter Egg Stackables dies.

I love this little bunny-costume-kid so much! It's my second time using him this week. I'll use the others soon, hee hee.

I nestled the bunny into some grassy hills and placed him in front of a giant easter egg. I used the negative space from an Outside In Easter Egg, and created a gingham egg sleeve.

To finish off, I opted for the Happy Easter Line Border as the sentiment, and splattered white paint over the kraft card-front.

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

Pinkfresh Studio Technique Talk blog hop

Hi there!

I'm excited to be joining Pinkfresh for an entire blog hop devoted to showing off stamping techniques.


I went a little old-school and used small floral images to stamp out a full background. Here is my DIY patterned paper:

I used 2 little flower stamps, both from the new Sweet Treats stamp set, to stamp an entire card-front. The 3-flowered-cluster image had little black dots around the flowers, so I used a black pen to add more dots at the end to fill up the space.

I then used copic markers to color in the florals. I used pinks for the larges flower and colored the trio in violet, yellow and a lighter pink. The entire background got colored as well, in a soft blue/grey.

My favorite patterned papers are the ones that look a little vintage. So, to bring a bit of that quality to this paper I shaded the edges with a soft brown ink.

As a final touch, I used the same brown ink and flecked it onto the entire area.



Yeesh! My brush is in bad shape, haha.

I hope you like my little tutorial. It's fun to see what you can do with the smaller stamps in a set! To end off, I added a sentiment from another new set, Bird With Flowers
