Sky's the Limit Card - Lawn Fawnatics #198

Hey friends, it's the first Monday of a brand-new month, and that means it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! This is a fun one: it's Up, Up, and Away. For my card, I combined the hot air balloons from Flying High with the cute little birds from Heart Tree and It's a Bird! Since I'm still recovering from a neck injury, I kept the color palette really limited and shared several tips throughout the video for creating simplified cards that don't look too plain. I hope that you find them helpful!

After coloring the images with Copics and trimming them out with the matching dies, I created a focal panel by trimming down some Spiffy Speckles 6x6 paper with the Large Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables. I added some Spring Showers clouds and stamped part of my sentiment. The rest of the word was die cut out of Lobster Cardstock using Finley's ABCs.

I popped the focal panel up with foam tape over some more patterned paper from Pint-sized Patterns: Summertime and What's Sewing On layered onto a Moonstone card base. I added my images and finished the card off with some tiny iridescent stars and a bit of Stardust Stickles.

I really hope you enjoy this one! You can watch the video tutorial by clicking the thumbnail below, or find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. Thanks so much for checking it out!

Hello Sunshine Card

Hey friends, today I have a sweet and summery card to share using a darling image. This cutie is the Tiny Townie Ally Loves Ice Cream by Stamping Bella. Isn't she precious? I had so much fun coloring her and creating a background with my Copic markers. Then I trimmed her down with the second largest of the Lawn Fawn Large Mini Slimline Stackables.

I popped her up with foam tape over a some patterned paper from the Carta Bella That's My Girl 6x6 pad and added a sentiment from the Stamping Bella Beach Vibes Sentiment Set trimmed down with a Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banner. Then I finished up with a little Stardust Stickles.

I really hope you enjoy this one! If you'd like to see how it came together, click the video thumbnail below, or you can also find the tutorial HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. Thank you so much for watching. Have an absolutely lovely day!

Tulip Bouquet Card - Lawn Fawnatics #197

Hey friends! It's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and it's Dies Only this round! I've been itching to use the Terrific Tulips, so I knew I had to start there. I trimmed the blooms out of Lilac, Sticky Note, and Ballet Slippers Cardstock and added shading with Shaded Lilac, Mustard Seed, and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I cut the stems and leaves from Cilantro and shaded with Mowed Lawn.

I wanted to add a sprig of Lovely Lily of the Valley, so I cut the blossoms from Fog Cardstock and the stems and leaves from Algae. To gather my bouquet, I trimmed the Flower Bouquet Wrap from some Bitsy Blooms 6x6 patterned paper, and the bow from Guava Cardstock shaded with Worn Lipstick.

I covered the card base with more Bitsy Blooms patterned paper and added my bouquet at a little angle, leaving room for my Everyday Sentiment Banner with a phrase from Magic Heart Messages. I finished up with a sprinkle of Clear Sequins and some Stardust Stickles.

Happy Bee-day Card

Hey friends, today I've got a card that is sweet as honey! Haha. I was so excited to ink up the Bee My Gnomie stamp set from Clearly Besotted. Since there are no matching dies, I masked off a little scene with a post it, stamping on Spectrum Noir White Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink and coloring with my Copic markers.

The focal panel was trimmed down with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Stackables. Then I cut down four different prints from the Simple Stories Say Cheese Classic Pooh 6x8 paper pad. Two of them I just used my paper trimmer, but on the other two I used the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Circle Stackables and Stitched Party Banners. I finished with some Clear Sequins and Stardust Stickles.
