Lawn Fawn Week Day 3

Hi friends!  Welcome to Day 3 of Lawn Fawn Week!!  Hopefully you are not too tired of me yet!  :)

Today I am sharing a tutorial using Sweet Friends.  I mentioned in yesterday's video that I had some technical difficulties which caused me to have to refilm and remake the card for Day 2.  Welp - it also has happened for Day 3 as well, but it is alright.  If anything, I have learned from this experience not to panic (too much) and I was able to still get a video tutorial up for all of you.

I went ahead and created a different card though than the original card I made for the first video, but I used the same supplies, but added a few extra.  I will still share the original card I made with you too.  I wanted to ink up this cute yogurt or "froyo" cup 4 times, and color it in with four color combinations.  Once I stamped, colored, and die cut my images, I die cut 4 small squares using one of the stitched square stackables dies with the Gotta Have Gingham papers to match each froyo cup.

Before adding any of my pieces to this card base, I stamped out a custom sentiment using Owen's ABC's and stamped it out with Lawn Fawn ink.  I created a faint pencil line for a guide, and then once I stamped it down, I was able to simply erase that line.

I then added the die cut elements to the card front panel which is a piece of white card stock that I die cut using the largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables dies.  I used my liquid adhesive to do this quickly and easily.

For the inside, I stamped out some sprinkles, and then added my additional sentiment.

Super cute, and perfect for a sweet friend!!  

For my original card, I made a Pivot Pop Up Card - I like both, and I hated that I lost all of my video footage, but I still was able to create a card and video tutorial.

That's is from me today!  Be sure to come back tomorrow, as I will be talking about the GIVEAWAYS and how you can enter to win!  See you then!!

Lawnscaping Challenge: Sentiments

Hi all!  I am popping in today to share with you my entry for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge.  The challenge is all about focusing on sentiments.  I had fun creating this card as I really thought outside the box on this card.  It was a little time consuming- but totally worth it seeing the end result.

I started off my die cutting using the Hello Scripty die from Lawn Fawn several times out of some Inkadinkado Stamp Masking paper - and I applied each one in a different orientation as if I stamped in onto my card stock.  I used a piece of Tim Holtz Water color card stock as I knew I would be using a lot of Distress Inks and adding a bit of water.  And, the DI blend easily on this card stock in my opinion.  So once I had all of my die cuts adhered, I took a piece of scrap card stock and ripped the edge to create a fun "mask" to define each color as I applied it.  In the end, the torn edge is a bit lost because I did use a little water to create some water droplets on my panel, but that is totally OK.

The Distress Inks I used are Fossilized Amber, Dried Marigold, Barn Door, Aged Mahogany, Hickory Smoke and Ground Espresso.

I loved how these colors came together - such a fall inspired color scheme!!  

Once I was done with my inking, I removed all of my "hello masks" to reveal that sharp white detail of each hello sentiment.  To add a bit of something to this main piece I ran my card stock through my die cut machine using the Large Stitched Rectangle die to give it a stitched detail.  I then worked on the rest of my sentiment by using Owen's ABC's from Lawn Fawn stamping out the word "Friend" and then die cutting each one with the circle dies that coordinate.   I added my main panel to a piece of SSS Slate card stock that was cut down to a A2 size card base. For a finishing touch I added some Wink of Stella clear brush marker to the "Friend" portion of the sentiment.

It was fun to create and participate again since my Facebook Inspiration Team ended with Lawnscaping.  Felt like old times when I was a regular participant :)  Thanks for stopping by!!  See you soon!
