CHA 2014 - Lawn Fawn

I have been looking forward to seeing the Lawn Fawn booth at CHA since I found out that we were going!  I love their stamps!

They were doing a Make and Take at the booth where you could create a card.  I created this card with their sushi stamps.

And here is a video of me creating this card!



I was surprised when we returned from CHA to see that my picture was on the Lawn Fawn Facebook page in their CHA Make and Take photo collage.  (I am in the lower right hand corner)

I have included the links to Lawn Fawn.  Tell them Beth sent you!

Lawn Fawn CHA 2014 Catalog Challenge - JOY Christmas Tag

This is the FIRST EVER challenge I have entered.  I hope you like my project.

I am entering this into the Lawn Fawn CHA 2014 Catalog Challenge.  The winners of this challenge will have their project featured in the Lawn Fawn catalog and win some great prizes of Lawn Fawn products.  One of the rules was that you had to use a Lawn Fawn critter stamp, and that you could NOT use patterned paper.

I decided to make this Christmas Tag using the Critters in the Snow stamp set.  

I cut a tag shape from the Phrases Cricut cartridge . . . one in teal and one in the shadow cut in a darker more metallic teal.  Then used the Recollections Royal Blue ink to stamp several snowflakes on the background paper.  Since the challenge said you could not use patterned paper, I did this stamping to create my own custom background paper.

I stamped and colored in the reindeer . . . I even gave him a little red nose.  Then I cut him out by hand and placed him on the tag so he looked like he was jumping.  The final touch was the word joy, out of red American Crafts alphabet stickers.

"Happy Happy Birthday" Ice Cream Card

For my Aunt's birthday, instead of just buying er a card from the store, I decided it would be much more fun and unique to create my own for her!

I started off by using a Cuttlebug to emboss a swirling, cloud-like design. But when I did this, I made sure to line up the embossing plate to leave a space to stamp my saying from my Lawn Fawn stamp set.

After this, I used a piece of blue painter's tape to cover up the bottom of the card for when I planned to ink the embossed, white paper.

I used Megan Elizabeth's Chillax colored ink, and a sponge to lightly dab it on.

After this, I used Megan Elizabeth's adhesive squares on the back of my inked, and embossed paper, and stuck it onto my card. Along with this, I stamped on my saying: "Happy Happy Birthday".

Using a Lawn Fawn stamp set, I stamped six ice cream cones, and colored them in. Then, I lined them up in a curve, and glued them on.

After that, I decided my card needed a little something more, and I instantly thought of The Buckle Boutique's great rainbow rhinestone sheets! Using my Cricut I cut out a heart, to put on as the final touch.

"Some bunny loves you" Card

Today, I made a birthday card, with my mother, Shawn Mosch . While I did the stamping, my mom cut out the images. First, I stamped a bunny from a Lawn Fawn stamp set on a white piece of paper, then colored it in with colored pencils, and a blender pen. After, I cut out two different sized burst shapes using a Cricut image. The outer burst is cut from a purple glitter sheet. The inside burst, we cut out from the center of the blue paper that borders the card. Also, on the polka dot paper, using a Lawn Fawn stamp, I added hearts in some of the circles.

 I also cut out the tag using a Cricut image, on the sides of the tag, we added some white Viva Decor. The saying on the card: "Some bunny loves you" was also from a Lawm Fawn stamp set.

Thanks for checking out my card, and blog! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and that it inspires great ideas for you!

From Stamps to Stickers!

Today I was faced with a problem: I wanted to have the cute pictures from the Lawn Fawn stamps, but be able to put that image anywhere I wanted to, without having to worry if the ink would stick to the surface. So I started off with stamping, and coloring the images on a strip of white card stock.

 Then, I ran the images through the Xyron, which turned the entire strip of paper into one big sticker.

 I individually cut out each of the images and...

 You have your stamp images transformed into stickers! I also added some Viva Decor to the pie to add some extra color to the sticker.

Now you can stick your favorite images wherever you want to! Perfect for adding a sprinkle of fun to plain notebooks, binders, folders, or pencil bags with going back to school right around the corner!
