Six Ways to Color Frogs


Hey friends, today I'm bringing you another critter coloring video! I'm going to be showing you six different ways to color frogs. I wanted to color something bright and fun and I thought frogs would be the perfect thing. I stamped out an image from Lawn Fawn's Toadally Awesome on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth White Cardstock in Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink and colored them with my Copic markers. To see the combos in action, click the video thumbnail below, or find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I hope you enjoy it!

Smooth Recovery Card - Lawn Fawn Feature


Hey friends, today I'm super honored to be featured over on the Lawn Fawn blog and YouTube channel with a Get Well Soon card featuring the new Treat Cart Add-on: Smoothies & Juice and Bitsy Blooms 6x6 pad. I'll have all the other supplies I used in my post over there, so I hope you'll check it out. I created this card for a dear friend who just underwent emergency brain surgery. It was a scary time, but she's back home recovering now and doing amazingly well! And wouldn't you know it? The thing that she was craving most when she woke up in the hospital was a smoothie! She said the card was perfect. I'm so please that she liked it, and I hope that you will too!

April Daisy Fairy Card


Hey friends, today I've got another Spring card to share, featuring the Sweet November April Daisy Fairy. I just love her so much! Sweet November actually has twelve of these fairies, one for every month of the year. But this one just really called to me. I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added in some scene building elements from Horizon Lines - Wildflower Meadow.


I trimmed down the panel with the Lawn Fawn Lacy Rectangle Stackables and then masked off the edges just past the stitching detail to keep them nice and white. Then I colored the entire scene with my Copic markers. I stamped a sentiment down at the bottom, and then popped the panel up with foam tape over some patterned paper.


If you'd like to see how this card came together, including a full walk-through of the Copic coloring, click the video thumbnail below, or you can find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it! Have an absolutely amazing day!

Happiness Blooms Card - Lawn Fawnatics #191


Hey friends, it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and I am so ready for this one -- it's Spring Fling! It may still be a snowy landscape outside my windows, but it is definitely already Spring in my heart. I am so ready for sunshine and flowers and color! For this card I pulled together images from Veggie HappyGarden Before 'n Afters, and Butterfly Kisses. I stamped them in Crunchy Leaf Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For the background, I did a simple watercolor wash onto a panel of Bristol Cardstock with Broken China and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink. After that was dry, I glued it to the front of a Speckled Eggshell card base. Then I trimmed down some patterned paper from the What's Sewing On? 6x6 pad. I cut down the floral print with my paper trimmer, and used a Stitched Scalloped Border on the pale blue pattern and popped them up with foam tape.


I added my images to the watercolored panel with a mix of liquid glue and foam tape. Then I stamped a sentiment in more Crunchy Leaf Ink and trimmed it down with an Everyday Sentiment Banner. I really love the soft, storybook style this card has! I really hope that you enjoy it too.

Altered Mini Composition Notebooks - Lawn Fawnatics #190


Hey friends, today I'm bringing you a video that I have been wanting to make for such a long time! I'm going to be re-creating my very first video on YouTube! Altering Mini Composition Notebooks is where Christy Gets Crafty began, and I've been wanting to pay homage to that for years. When I saw that our next Lawn Fawnatics Challenge was Anything but a Card or Tag, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to finally bring that video up to date!


For this project, you'll need to start with some mini composition notebooks. Lots of stores sell them, but I picked up this three pack at Dollar Tree for $1.25. Since filming, I was able to score five more three packs at Dollar General for $1 each! You'll also need some patterned paper, and this gorgeous collection is from the Lawn Fawn What's Sewing On? 6x6 pad. I love the dainty florals in these beautiful pastel shades.


You're also going to need some kind of strong adhesive to attach the papers to the covers and spine. I love using 1/4" Double-sided Tape. There's no mess and it's super strong. I added a ribbon closure for each of these notebooks, to keep the recipients writings a bit more private, and decorated the fronts to give them a little more personality.


I stamped some images and a tiny sentiment from Garden Before 'n Afters and Butterfly Kisses in Crunchy Leaf Ink on the Little Letter die cuts and colored them with Copic markers. If you'd like to see how these came together, click the video thumbnail below, or you can find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it! These make such great gifts or craft fair projects! Don't forget to visit the Lawn Fawnatics blog to see what the rest of the team has created and link up your own projects to play along!
