Lawnscaping Monthly Blog Hop | June 2015

Hello and welcome to another Monthly Blog Hop for Lawnscaping Challenges!  This month we are inspired by PURPLE!  I think you will all love the projects on this hop!  So much pretty purple to feast your eyes on!  You should have made your way to me by ISHA!  I have no doubt she had something fun and fabulous!  

For my card I kept things simple.  I used the hexagon background from Interlocking Backdrops which is one of my favorite background sets from Lawn Fawn!  I used the new ink in Juice Box - such a perfect purple shade.  I stamped this background onto my white 5x5 card base. I had a piece of white card stock left over and created an ombre looked with 3 shades of purple Copic Markers, and then die cut several die cuts from the THANKS die - once using the ombre background, and then 5 more times just with white card stock, and I glued all of them together to create a faux chipboard piece.  I love doing this with my sentiment die cuts.

Then, I just die cut a star using one of the Puffy Star Stackables - and adhered it to my card base with foam adhesive, and then applied liquid glue to the back of my sentiment piece and adhered that to the star.  Check out the dimension below!

So fun!  To finish things off I added some shimmer using my Wink of Stella Clear brush pen.  Before I send you off to the next stop - I wanted to be sure to thank our wonderful sponsor The Ink Road ! Be sure to leave comments along with the way to have a chance to win a gift certificate from The Ink Road.

And, finally - Sadly, this post marks my final post for the Lawnscaping Facebook Inspiration Team.  I was honored to have served on this team for over 2 years - It was so fun bringing you inspiration for each challenge every two weeks, and for the blog hops.  I will miss working with such sweet ladies and not to mention talented!  Thanks so much for visiting my blog today - I hope you continue to come back every once in a while :)  OK - enough with the mushy stuff - off to my girl Lenny's blog.  

Happy Crafting ( and blog hopping)

LSC #76 Dust 'em off

Hello, hello!  Wow - time sure is flying!  I can't believe we are starting up a new challenge already!  We want you to "dust 'em off" - get out a crafty tool or stamp that you don't use or haven't used in a while and show the love!

I used two stamp sets, and a few of my Stampin' Up inks that I haven't used much. In fact the My Silly Valentine stamp set I've never inked up!!!  I know, right!?!  I also used Interlocking Backdrops - and I inked up the hexagon strip with Coastal Cabana, Pool Party and Pistachio Pudding inks.  I die cut two panels from my Postage Edge frame dies from SSS, and I stamped out my hexagon background first - then I stamped on the square panel the two pears and colored them in with Copic Markers - and of course had to add shimmer like the rest of the card making population with my Wink of Stella pen :)  I, then stamped out my sentiment which "pairs" up with my pears :)  Super punny on that one!  I doubled up on the foam squares for the small panel, and adhered it to my stamped panel and then I added some Lawn Trimmings and then I added both panels also with foam adhesive onto a Pistachio Pudding card base which is A2 size.   

Hope you are able to join us for this new challenge!!  Lawn Fawn is our wonderful sponsor this week!!  And, the new release will be available this week too!! YES!!  Sorry - a little excited there!

See you soon - thanks for stopping by!

LSC #66 - Monochromatic

Hi all!  I am a little tardy getting my post up for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge - but I did get it up in the same day - so it counts, right??

This one was a bit of a challenge for me - but I think I handled it well!!  What do you all think??

I used one of my favorite back ground building stamps - "Interlocking Backdrops" and stamped it out onto a Crisp Cantaloupe card base using Crisp Cantaloupe ink - I also got out my " A Birdie Told Me" set and stamped the biggest word bubble onto some pattern paper from the "Yes, Please" 6x6 paper pad from Amy Tangerine/AC. My sentiment comes from the "Many Thanks" set from LF.  I stamped out that cute little birdie onto a strip of washi of the same color combo that I am trying to achieve and I stamped it using some Staz-On Ink and then used the coordinating die.  For some finishing touches, I added some enamel dots and some Lawn Trimmings twine.

Be sure to take some time out and get crafty with us and submit your projects to this challenge!!  There will be some awesome inspiration on the blog with the design team, and also be sure to check in with Facebook and visit Lawnscapings Facebook page for the LF Facebook Inspiration Team's inspiration as well!!

See you over at the blog!!  Have fun!
