Fall time card gift box with Lawn Fawn die set

Good Afternoon. I wanted to pop in and share a gift box I made for a friend that includes 4 cards inside. I made this gift box with the gift box die set from Lawn Fawn. I also used the stitched leaves die set and then used the chili pepper ink padsunflower ink pad, and pumpkin spice ink pad to add the color to the leaves. I also used the small stitched oval stackables to cut out the opening on the top of the gift box and turn it into a shaker box. The paper used was the Wood grain paper from Lawn Fawn as well. I hope that you enjoyed this project and if you would like to see a video on how to make it please let me know. 

Jump for joy card with Lawn Fawn

Happy Fall all!!! Today I wanted to share this card I made with the Lawn Fawn Jump for Joy stamps and dies. I also used the stitched cloud backdrop: portrait for the background along with distress inks for the coloring. I also used slide on over die sets to make this an interactive card. I love that the little hedgehog jumps into the pile of leaves. I also used the puffy cloud borders birch trees die set, and stitched hillside borders. The color of this card really gets me in the mood for those crisp fall days with beautiful colors in the trees and the fun that can be had during the cool weather of Fall. Thank you guys for stopping by and please subscribe to my blog for all my projects coming out.

Halloween card using Lawn Fawn Booyah

Happy 1st of November. I am so excited that it is at last fall here in Southern California. As Halloween comes to an end I have a few last minute cards I made up for the teachers to my twin boys(lets face it they deserve all the cards I can make.) I made each of these cards with the Lawn Fawn Booyah stamp and die set. This is a great little set because it can be used outside of Halloween as well.
 While this set has many different dress up options I went with this great little Frankenstein ghost. I colored him with Copic markers. I used G94 and YG13 for the body. The hair I used W5 and W7 and for the little treat bag I used YR02 and YR04.
 Along with the Copic coloring I used Lawn Fawn inks in the colors ButterFake Tan,Jalapeno, and Sugarplum.
 I then added fun foam to the back and layered it on some of the patteren paper from Cats and Bats from Close to My Heart. This card was so fast and easy to get together and really was fun to do.
 I used the same set in this card as well, but used some of the little dress up elements that the stamp set includes. I really love that there are little things like the bow tie and lollipop to give these cute little ghosts an extra pop of interest.
 For the coloring I again used Copics in the colors YR02 and YR04 for the little treat bag. I used BG10 and BG13 for the little ghosts bow tie, and I used just a small amount of N0 with the colorless blender pen to give the ghosts a small amount of shading.
To finish this card up I again used the same color inks to stamp my stars and mounted the card onto a layer of Cats and Bats paper with Fun Foam. I really hope you all enjoyed these cards and if you have any questions please let me know.
