As soon as I saw this design by Marine I wanted to make it. It was definitely a long process making all those different ink blended parts and coloring all the images but it was worth it! I made two identical cards at the same time, which I often do when I have a really… Continue reading Mermaid For You Flip Flop

You Goat This Platform Pop Up
I loved this idea by Grace and just had to make my own. I even made two so I could give one away and keep one in my craft room to look at for awhile! I sent this as a good luck/you goat this card, but it could be used for so many occasions! Materials… Continue reading You Goat This Platform Pop Up

Tiny Spring Friends
I loved the Spring 2022 Lawn Fawn release so, so much. This is the first time I've used every single thing I got in a release before the next release came out. It might have been my favorite release of theirs ever, based on the percentage of the release that I loved. I'm actually almost… Continue reading Tiny Spring Friends
Berry Special
I recreated this design by Tammy Stark, with a few changes of my own! I liked the look of the scalloped border but it was harder to do than I expected. In one of the videos they mentioned that Tammy trims off the edges but mine didn't look right when I did that so I… Continue reading Berry Special
Take 2: Beary Rainy Day
This is a re-make of a card that I made recently. The blog post with the first version is here: https://handmadebyrachelle.com/2022/04/06/beary-rainy-day/ It didn't take long for me to make this design again because I had liked it so much the first time, but I made some changes. This time I made the card a full… Continue reading Take 2: Beary Rainy Day

Flower Basket Platform Pop Up
I wanted to add more to this but I was very pressed for time and wanted to make sure it arrived in time for mother's day (it did!) I think it would be cute to add some flying bees or butterflies to this, and maybe a sentiment on vellum. Materials used: Platform Pop UpGotta Have… Continue reading Flower Basket Platform Pop Up
Rainbow Platform Pop Up
This was a design by Grace that was fun to recreate and change a little bit (I swapped out the orange in the rainbow because I thought it was too harsh; definitely like this combo better.) This was my first time making the Platform Pop Up and it really was so easy to put together.… Continue reading Rainbow Platform Pop Up
Goats With Glossy Letters
I just can't help but smile when I look at those goats. I think this set is automatically in my favorites. 😊 This design was inspired by a card Tammy Stark made that I liked. I added glossy accents to the letters and I love how it makes them really pop. The hardest part of… Continue reading Goats With Glossy Letters
Beary Rainy Day
This was a design by Elena that I recreated and I loved making it so much. I love how the big letters are such a big part of the card, and how the little scene fits right in the middle. And the sparkly raindrops add so much even though they're subtle in the background. I'm… Continue reading Beary Rainy Day
A Freshly Mowed Hillside For Goats
Out of the whole spring Lawn Fawn release, I think these goats were the thing I was most excited about. And of course that meant I waited to use them and made cards with other things first. Is that a weird brain or personality trait, that makes you want to wait and savor the thing… Continue reading A Freshly Mowed Hillside For Goats
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
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
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
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
