I feel like these cards could use something more... maybe some seaweed at the bottom of each scene? I may still add to them before I send them out. 😄 Materials used: Large Stitched Rectangles Patterned paper from SpellbindersSay Cheese AgainDuh-NuhYear SixOctopi My HeartSeahorsin' AroundSo JellyWhale You Be MineGlossy accentsBlack Licorice cardstockEveryday Sentiment BannersWhite embossing… Continue reading Under The Sea Cards

A Sparkly Attempt
This is my example of cards that don't turn out as planned. I wanted to use some supplies I hadn't used before but I don't think that made for the best end result. I think a white background would've been better on this, and shading on the balloons would have also helped. Oh well. I'm… Continue reading A Sparkly Attempt
Scripty Cheers
This card is so pretty in person! The light catches the holographic paper and the metallic paint splatters and it's just hypnotizing to look at. This was a design by Jessica Frost Ballas that I recreated. It's great for a congratulations card, New Year's, wedding, birthday, so many occasions! Materials used: Large Stitched Rectangles Distress… Continue reading Scripty Cheers
Mermaid For You Flip Flop
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

Best Mom Oval
This was my first time ever ordering anything from Newton's Nook. My card making style is pretty much exactly Lawn Fawn haha - I love critters and puns and all that cuteness. But I really, really loved spring this year and the design of this floral stamp really stuck out to me. I think it's… Continue reading Best Mom Oval

Lift The Flap + Tiny Birthday Friends
I first made this type of design back in the winter for a Christmas card, but I finally used it for a birthday card. I usually prefer to recreate someone else's design rather than make my own from scratch because in the cases like this where it is me, it takes me LITERALLY FOREVER to… Continue reading Lift The Flap + Tiny Birthday 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
Birthday Goats
This was a design by Marine that I changed slightly. I love all the bright colors and then the black and white sentiment at the bottom. It's going to be hard for me to mail out these goat cards because I love them all so much! Materials used: Large Stitched Rectangles Cloudy StencilDistress oxide inks:… Continue reading Birthday Goats

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
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
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
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
Happy Birthday Balloons
I love the simplicity of this card. It still took time to assemble with the different heights and ink blending but I think it could be a perfect card to send to many different people. I was inspired by Elise C. and her original design can be seen here: https://whimsipost.blogspot.com/2020/04/lf-inspiration-week-outside-in-stitched.html?m=0 Materials used: Large Stitched RectanglesMoonstone… Continue reading Happy Birthday Balloons
