Gnome One Like You - Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #47


Hey friends! Welcome to Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #47! This month is all about that world-wide conversation starter: What's the Weather? My card is definitely cloudy with a chance of gnomes! ;)


I started with the brand new Oh Gnome! stamp set that is releasing this week, and combined it with SIX additional sets! Can you spot them all? They are Gnome Sweet GnomeGleeful Gardens, Fairy Friends, Bicycle Built for You, Party Animal, and Critters at the Dog Park. I colored them all in with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.




For the background, I started with a piece of pale blue cardstock for my sky and added some grass using the new Mushroom Border. I adhered my images and included a few clouds from Spring Showers for my weather element. 

I popped up the focal panel over a piece of Perfectly Plaid patterned paper and finished with a sentiment from Oh Gnome!

Christy Gets Crafty with My Favorite Things - February


Hello friends! It's time for the February edition of Christy Gets Crafty with My Favorite Things! Today I'm bringing you a fun shaker card that saves the day using Super Cat.



I stared by stamping my images and coloring them with Copics, then trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I created a cool sunset sky using Distress inks. I cut a shaker window "moon" out using the circle from Tag Builders Blueprints 7. Then I added the City Block die cut out of Black Licorice cardstock at the bottom of my scene.


I filled my shaker moon with tiny iridescent stars and chunky glitter, adhered my images with liquid glue, then finished off the scene with a sentiment using the Essential Slanted Sentiment Strips.

Have an absolutely super day!

MFT & Friends February Release!


Why, hello friends! Today I'm so happy to be participating in this month's MFT & Friends celebrating the February Release! This one is seriously jam packed with cuteness, but my personal favorite is the new Birdie Brown set Birth-Yay. So many adorable jungle critters! 


To round out my scene I added a few scene setting images using Cutieasaurus. I colored up my cuties with Copics and trimmed them out with the matching dies. I wanted to mix things up and add some fun patterns  so I pulled out the On-Point Patterns paper pad and used a blue chevron for my sky, and an olive triangle trio print for my grassy hill and die cut them both with the Elegant Rectangle STAX.


I chose two more patterns and layered those on top of my Grout Gray card base, then popped up my focal panel with foam tape to give it a little lift. I decided not to add any embellishments and just let those cool patterns and coloring shine. A Blueprints 29  sentiment strip finished off the card.

Fairy Tale Wishes - Lawn Fawnatics #46


Hey friends! Welcome to Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #46! This round we've got a gorgeous color inspiration for you to use. I thought this dreamy color palette lent itself well to fairy tales, so I started by using Critters Ever After combined with Fairy Friends. Because I wanted to make a birthday card, I also added a small cake from Beam Me Up.



After coloring my images with Copics and trimming them out with the matching dies, it was time to work on my background. I wanted to do sort of a gradient effect with the color radiating out from behind the castle. So I blended Distress Inks on the upper half of my focal panel from the lower left to the upper right, getting softer as I went. Then I flicked on some gold flecks with the Nuvo Midas Touch Aqua Shimmer Pen

I covered the bottom half of the panel with three layers of the Puffy Cloud Borders, and added my images. Instead of covering up that background with a banner, I decided to stamp my sentiment directly on the focal panel. Thank goodness for the MISTI! I finished up the card with a sprinkle of Iridescent Mini Stars.
