LSC #84 Stars and Stripes

Hello Lawnscaping fans!  It is time for a new challenge!  Summer is on the horizon!  Can you believe it!  So, for our challenge this time it is about those versatile Stars and Stripes!  And, guess who is our our sponsor - Lawn Fawn!  YAY!!

For my card - I kept it pretty simple!  I used some white embossing paste by Wendi Vecchi and I added some gold glitter and incorporated the glitter in my embossing paste.  Then, I took my star stencil that I purchased from Simon Says Stamp, and applied it to one half of my piece of Tim Holtz water color card stock, and let it dry. It didn't take long at all for it to dry.  Then, I adhered to the other half of the card stock some papers from Lawn Fawn's Into The Woods 6x6 pad.  Then, I took one of my  Lawn Fawn's Star Stackables dies and die cut a star from my panel.  Then, I heat embossed in gold right on my card base my "You Shine" sentiment from the set Lucky Stars also from Lawn Fawn. Then, I adhered my main panel so my sentiment would be right in the middle of my star die cut.  Super fun and super simple :)

Hope you are able to join us for another new fun challenge!!

See you soon!

Distress Mania LSC #64

WOW! Back again to introduce a new Lawnscaping Challenge!!  We getting Distressed!!  This challenge is all about making your projects look Distressed with inks, sanding, etc.

Up for grabs is a gift certificate to the oh so wonderful Lawn Fawn!!  And, with there new releases about to be available very soon - now it is a great time to enter!

Here is my card for this challenge!

I used some Core'dinations paper that I had in my stash and I dry embossed my paper with a diagonal stripes embossing folder, and then sanded my paper to bring out the color core!!  I, then added some washi tape with the same color scheme that I was going for.  Then, I stamped out the polaroid from "Say Cheese" ( my very first Lawn Fawn stamp set - I treasure it!) onto some more Core'dinations paper but on the color core side to make it look "aged".  Then, I took one of the element stickers from the Dewey Decimal collection, and added it to the middle of my frame using foam adhesive.  I felt like my card needed one more thing, so I found a peach colored button in my stash and added some Lawn Trimmings to the button and adhered it to my frame.  This whole card panel was adhered to a piece of Hawaiian Shores card stock, and then onto a Kraft card base.

Hope this inspires you to enter into this week's challenge!!  I am looking forward to all the entries!!

Be sure to watch throughout the week for additional inspiration from the Facebook Inspiration Team!

LSC#53 Stamp a Scene

Hi!!  I'm returning today on the blog to share with you my card for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge.  This one was really fun!!  Well - they all are :)  I am always wanting to "think outside the box" on these challenges, and this one is no exception.

For this card - my inspiration was my mom.  She is the book reader in my family and she loves owls - so I thought this card would be fun to give her and submit for this challenge. It was a fairly simple card - the longest part with making it would be of course stamping out the custom sentiments.  I used some of the pattern paper from the Dewey Decimal 6x6 paper pad.  I stamped out my owl from "Critters in the Forest", and did some "altering" on his eyes to make them look like he is a surprised owl. Then, I stamped, cut out and colored my little bird from "A Birdie Told Me" set. The, I used "Harold's ABC's" for the custom sentiments " You're cool for reading books" - "Who Me"??

I know how much my mother LOVES her books, and I envy her for that.  I am more of a magazine girl! HA!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!!
