It MOOSE be Lawn Fawn’s 5th Birthday!

March 10, 2015March 18, 201533 Comments

Hi, everybody! I’m joining a few crafty friends today to wish Lawn Fawn a happy 5th birthday!

You may have arrived from Sharna‘s blog, but in case you’re starting here and want to go back to the start of the hop, you’ll find the full hop list at Jenn‘s blog!

One of the many things I love about Lawn Fawn stamps is the ability to mix up the different sets and create different combinations! Since today’s hop is birthday themed, I thought it would be fun to get the moose from Critters in the Arctic dressed up for a party!

I started by stamping the party hat, then masked it off and stamped the moose. Then, I made masks for the moose’s antlers and stamped the balloons from the Year Four set. I used a black multiliner pen to “tie” the balloons to the antlers.

Then, I colored the images to match the Into the Woods petite paper pad and stamped up a custom sentiment with a few of my Lawn Fawn sets. You can find a full list of the supplies that I used at the bottom of my post.

Your next stop on the hop is Roxanne‘s blog! Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy hopping!

Lawnscaping Challenge #100: Birthday Celebration!

February 16, 2015March 18, 20151 Comment

Hi, everybody! Is there snow on the ground where you are? We had about an inch or so here Saturday night, and the novelty has definitely worn off for me. I’m so ready for spring!

The only good thing about cold weather is that it’s perfect stay indoors and craft weather! So, if it’s cold where you are, I hope you’ll join us for the new Lawnscaping challenge, because we’re celebrating our 100th challenge!

I’m sure you’ve figured out that we have a birthday theme for this challenge, and here’s my take! (I’ve included a list of supplies at the bottom of my post.)

This challenge is sponsored by ever-fabulous and super fantastic Lawn Fawn! We also have something special going on at the Lawnscaping blog to celebrate, so make sure you stop by to see what it is!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope your week is off to a great start! Make sure you link up your entry for Lawnscaping Challenge #100 at the Lawnscaping blog!

Hi, everybody! I’m sharing this card today on the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog, featuring Mabelle’s “Little Princess” digi stamp!

This image reminds me of my youngest niece, Caroline, who is a self-proclaimed “fashionista,” and loves all things girly! She just started 1st grade on Friday and is having a birthday next month. I wanted to get a jump on making her card, and thought this image would be perfect for her!

Whimsy and Stars Studio digital stamp: “Little Princess“; Other supplies: designer paper – “Pretty Party” 6×6 pad (Crate Paper), scalloped flower die (Memory Box), trim, adhesive pearls, Spellbinders Labels 25, sentiment stamp (DeNami Designs), assorted Copic markers.

TGF Sneak Peeks Day 3 – Frou Frou Birthday!

July 31, 2013March 18, 201518 Comments

HELLO Friends of the Farm! It’s our final day of sneak peeks for the August release at The Greeting Farm!

I hope you’ve enjoyed our previews so far! Yesterday, I previewed the “Clear Birthday” set, and today, I’m previewing the “Frou Frou Birthday” rubber stamp set. This stamp set is a bit larger than the Anya stamps (approximately 3″ x 3″); she’s probably closer in size to the Big Time Anya line (approximately 4″ x 6″).

So, I’m presenting two projects to you today…the one on the left is a glassine gift bag. I made Frou Frou Birthday into a tag/embellishment for the front of the bag. You may notice the sentiment is from yesterday’s “Clear Birthday” set preview, which I thought was perfect, considering that the bag is filled with saltwater taffy!

The card on the right is a tent card with a hidden gift card holder pocket. The gift card pulls out where I tied the silver ribbon.

So, what do you think? Would you like to win this stamp set? You’ll find the full list of the design team members participating in today’s preview at The Greeting Farm’s blog!

Stop by each designer’s blog to check out their preview creations, leave a lovely comment for each one (and stop by the TGF blog to leave a comment there and let us know you’ve visited all the blogs), and we’ll pick a random winner from all the comments!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Make sure to also join us tomorrow, August 1, for our new release blog hop, when the new release stamps will be available in the TGF Store!

Hugs,

Mojo Monday 300!

Hi, everybody! Just a quick post to share the card I made for Mojo Monday’s 300th sketch celebration!

I layered several birthday-themed Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps for my main image…lots of masking and coloring, but I’m so happy with how it came out!

The papers are from an American Crafts 6×6 paper pad that I picked up at Target.

Image stamps: “Birthday Cake Emily“, “Celebrating Chloe“, “Party Time Oliver” and “Birthday Josh” – Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps; sentiment stamp from “Birthday Sampler” set – Paper Smooches; assorted Copic markers, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, button, Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine – Annie’s Paper Boutique, sewing machine.

And here’s the sketch:
