I made this card with 4 separate shakers for each Easter egg. I followed some of the steps in this blog post when putting it together: https://hungryheffycrafts.com/2018/03/multi-shaker-easter-card-ft-heffy-doodle-honey-bunny-boo/ One tip in that blog post was to lay the top piece of your card down before adding the acetate, and then to inlay each colored Easter egg… Continue reading Easter Egg Shaker Card

Outside In Stitched Easter Egg
Have I mentioned how in love I am with the Lawn Fawn spring papers?? Just look at that gingham! I seriously can't get enough. And then to have the egg shape cut out and to have it popped up just enough to give it some dimension, I just really like how this card turned out.… Continue reading Outside In Stitched Easter Egg
Stencil Ink Press Technique
I was inspired to try this technique when I saw Mindy Eggen post about it. I used the same stencil she did (Off the Edge Daffodil by Simon Says Stamp) and it's such a pretty stencil. I will say, I'm used to Lawn Fawn stencils, which feel much more hardy/substantial, and this one was incredibly… Continue reading Stencil Ink Press Technique
Theater Retirement Card
I wasn't sure if I should even post this card because it's so simple but I like having a record of my cards, and I do still like it. I like how this set fits on the slimline card but I wish I would've done some partial die cutting to extend the length of the… Continue reading Theater Retirement Card
Ray-Filled Sky
I wanted to try out this fun sky technique that I saw on a card by Mindy. She used the Sunrise Backdrop as a makeshift stencil, but I used this Ray of Light stencil from My Favorite Things that I had been wanting to use. As with everything, it just made me want to try… Continue reading Ray-Filled Sky
Cute and Simple Donuts
It's not often that I purchase something from a company other than Lawn Fawn, but these cute donuts from The Stamp Market inspired me. I like that this could be a thank you card ("Thanks a HOLE bunch!") or also a birthday card ("Hope your day is a HOLE lotta fun!") And I'm sure many… Continue reading Cute and Simple Donuts
Speech Bubble Backdrop
Two simple cards I made using the Speech Bubble Backdrop. I cut out the backdrop, then laid it over the background for one card and used that as a temporary guide for securing down the speech bubble cutouts in that arrangement. Then I removed it and had everything in perfect placement. Why is inlaying things… Continue reading Speech Bubble Backdrop
Swinging By To Say…
This might be my very favorite set from Lawn Fawn. It's extremely hard to pick just one but this would certainly be in my top list. Maybe someday I'll make a post attempting to decide this... This design was inspired by Elise C. but I changed it slightly. 😊 Materials used: Large Stitched RectanglesOutside In… Continue reading Swinging By To Say…
Foursquare Easter Card
This was my first time trying to stamp multiple colors on the same sentiment. I think it was good for a first attempt but can be improved upon in the future. It's hard to tell in the picture but I stamped it in colors first and then (because I was using my MISTI) I stamped… Continue reading Foursquare Easter Card
Simple Umbrella Card
This card was inspired by Caly P. and her card: https://calyperson.com/2022/02/21/lawn-fawnatics-challenge-119-stitched-umbrella/ I don't normally fade out ink into white so it was good to try out that new technique. In person the sparkles on the raindrops really catch the light! Materials used: Large Stitched RectanglesPeacock cardstockOutside In Stitched Rectangle StackablesDistress oxide inks: Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock… Continue reading Simple Umbrella Card
Barnyard Fun
This was a design by Audrey T. that I recreated, and I might need to make another because I really liked how it came out. And also because I'd like to make a version that my white pen doesn't ruin. 😠This card made me not use white pen on my next several cards because… Continue reading Barnyard Fun
Home Tweet Home
I made this card with a retired Lawn Fawn set called Home Sweet Home - they totally could've named it Home Tweet Home, and I had to title my post this way. 😊 Even though this particular set is retired, this card could be created with the Seasons Tweetings set, or with the branches from… Continue reading Home Tweet Home

St. Patrick’s Day Gnome
Sometimes a simple card is just the ticket! I've used this Garden Gnome so many times since I got it; I just think it's so cute and perfect for many different cards. It originally came out last spring and I think it was actually the very first "stamp-as-die" item that Lawn Fawn ever released. (They… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Gnome
Lucky To Have You As My Friend
This is a St. Patrick's Day card inspired by a slimline card design made by Tammy S. It might actually be the first St. Patrick's Day card I've ever made, I'd have to look back and confirm!

Up and Away
I've wanted a hot air balloon die for awhile and when I saw these from Concord and 9th I decided to get them. Lawn Fawn currently only has an older stamp set with hot air balloons and I always have trouble coloring them. I feel like this particular card could've been better but I'm not… Continue reading Up and Away
Scootin’ By
This was my first time using this set and I liked it more than I was expecting to. Seeing the critters actually in the scene made it so much happier. I'd love to use this with a more complex scene and also with a slider at some point. This was inspired by a card Yainea… Continue reading Scootin’ By
Love You More Than
I don't normally stray from Lawn Fawn products, but my love of french fries was too strong to ignore this cute die set from Concord and 9th.
