Mother's Day Garden Card - Lawn Fawnatics #219

Hey friends! Today I've got a Mother's Day card to share for our latest Lawn Fawnatics Challenge: Family Matters! This round, we're creating cards to honor moms, dads, or any other loved ones that you call family. I wanted to create a fun Springtime scene, so I pulled together images from Garden Mouse, Spring Basket, and All the Grasses.

I colored the images with Copic markers to match some patterned paper from the Bitsy Blooms 6x6 pack and trimmed them out with the matching dies. I pulled in two prints from that pad and another from Blissful Blossoms and layered those together on a Mist card base.

I die-cut the focal panel from Bristol using the Secret Garden Window and blended on the sky and grass using the Cloudy Stencil and the Slimline Grassy Stencil. I stamped a sentiment from Mom Plus Me, popped the panel up with Foam Tape, and then adhered my images with liquid glue. To finish it off, I added a sprinkle of sequins and some Stardust Stickles.

Butterfly Bookmarks - Lawn Fawnatics #218

Hey friends, it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this time we're taking a step outside the box and creating Anything but a Card or Tag. Any other type of papercraft project you can dream up, you can create! As a big reader, I am always in need of bookmarks, so that's what I decided to make today.

The inspiration for these bookmarks started with the Little Woodland Library Add-onsentiment. I love that line from the Reading Rainbow theme song. I was a huge fan of that show as a kid! So I brought in images from lots of stamp sets, including: I Like Big Butterflies, Gleeful Gardens, Fairy Friends, Little Woodland Library, Purrfectly Wicked, Here for You Bear, and All the Grasses. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

I used the Stitched Bookmark to cut the shape out of some Bristol Cardstock. Then, I added a background to it using the Cloudy Stencil and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. For the bottom I used the Slimline Grassy Stencil and Mowed Lawn. I glued my images flat and made sure nothing was hanging over the edges so it wouldn't get bent up over time. I finished it off with a bit of Aquamarine Single Cord,

Fluttering By to Say Card - Lawn Fawnatics #217

Hey friends! It seems that we have finally turned a corner into warmer weather here in PA, and I could not be more thrilled! It's just in time for our Spring Fling Challenge at Lawn Fawnatics! For my card, I was so excited to ink up and play with the new I Like Big Butterflies. They're sweet and stunning at the same time!

I was also super excited to try out the new Big Blossom Backdrop: Portrait. I die cut it out of Bristol Cardstock and colored it by blending on Distress Oxides. I wanted soft, pastel tones, so I used a very soft hand and let the petals fade into white at the tips. The shades I used were too many to list, but I'll have them all linked below the video in the description bar on YouTube.

I also used the Cloudy Stencil to create the sky, and stamped a sentiment from Henry's Build-A-Sentiment: Butterflies directly on that panel. The phrase continues to finish on the inside of the card, which you can also see in the video. Lastly, I used a Stitched Rectangle Frame to die cut the new Mist Cardstock as a border. I love that shade of aqua blue!
