A holly + plaid Christmas (Ellen Hutson)

Hi there!

I finally made time to play with the Mondo Holly stamp set and matching dies - I just think they are GORGEOUS:

I colored the big leaf with copic markers and then set it against an Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop layer. Behind the polka dot cover plate, I layered a piece of Bazzill Gumdrop green cardstock.



On the left, I used the Plaid Maker stamp set to create a buffalo plaid strip: I stamped it in black onto a sheet of Bazzill Peppermint red cardstock.

To finish off the card, I heat-embossed a greeting from Mondo Holly onto a sheet of Licorice black cardstock.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Gift tags and winter skies (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

It's the last day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week! I hope you've enjoyed it. Today, we're showing off the Say What? Christmas Critters stamp set and the Say What? Gift Tags. They all go so well with the images from Holiday Helpers... my obsession with that set continues:

I kept everything white and fresh, save the images. They are colored in Christmas red and green, and really pop against that white!

I kind of tucked the elves behind the critters, and with their outstretched arms, it looks like they are hugging the animals!

I also wanted to share this card, which should have gone up yesterday:

It features images from Winter Skies. I love them looking up at Santa in the sky. Too cute!



I hope you like everything I made for you today! There's more to see on the LF blog this morning - click!

A rainbow Christmas (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to another day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week! Today is our showcase of, among other things, the Really Rainbow Christmas paper pack. I knew right away that I could pair a page with the cutie elves from Holiday Helpers for a whimsical design:



I just can't get enough of these elves - and I really like them hanging out with mugs of hot chocolate, lol. I keep using them on my cards this month! I have them standing outside in the snow, amid a forest of trees (from Winter Skies.)

I love the bright polka-dot paper sky behind them!

I flanked the paper on the top and bottom with some white woodgrain cardstock, and added a little snowbank behind the elves.

On the trees themselves, I used the new embossing pen and textured white embossing powder to give the look of snow-covered trees.

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

a cozy christmas (Lawn Fawn inspiration week)

Hi there!

Welcome to another day of this month's Lawn Fawn inspiration week. Today, we're showing off the Reveal Wheel Square Add-On dies:



The Reveal Wheel creates an interactive card design, where the sentiment changes as you turn the wheel. And, take it from someone who is "challenged" in the interactive card-making department: it's really easy to use!

I imagined a little lounge area in the North Pole, where the elves could come in and take a break. They would make a plate of cookies for Santa too, right?  I used images from Christmas Dreams and the little elf from Holiday Helpers.



When you turn the wheel, the other sentiments are revealed. It's so fun!

I hope you like the cozy little Christmas scene I've created for you. Be sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration today - click!
