I can't get over how much I love the look of this background. I do want to know how you avoid messing up the Yeti ink pad when you put it over other colors but hopefully it won't matter next time I use it!

Mermazing Mermaid
I really love the way this card turned out. The sun ray stenciled background is just so pretty, and then to have the nice sparkles popping out on the mermaid, and to top it off with the embossed sentiment looking all shiny and 3D, everything came together so well. I did originally try to add… Continue reading Mermazing Mermaid
More Robot Fun
This card is very similar to the other robot card I made recently. Originally I was going to use a background stencil with some silver stencil paste... but after FIVE, yes, FIVE attempts, the stencil just would not cooperate. The stencil paste kept bleeding through and ruining the card base. The stencil also had a… Continue reading More Robot Fun
Reveal Wheel Baby Card
This was a design by Chari that I adjusted a little to make it gender neutral. It's so cute to turn the wheel and see the little clothes tumbling in the wash! Here's her original card: https://blog.lawnfawn.com/2018/08/lawn-fawn-video-8-14-18-charis-loads-of-fun-card-inspired-by-megan/ Materials used: Large Stitched Rectangles Mermaid cardstockReveal WheelSpiffy Speckles petite paper packGotta Have Gingham Rainbow petite paper packLoads… Continue reading Reveal Wheel Baby Card
Pool Party
I really loved a design Megan made with the Flamingo Floatie, but I wanted to use the critters from Pool Party instead. I think next time I would use bolder colors for the water. I also centered my sentiment banner forgetting that part of it was blank, so it actually ended up off center -… Continue reading Pool Party

Baby Elephant
I was inspired by a design Grace made for this card. I think if I make this again I would try to use a few more colors in the scenery to bring in more depth.

500 Cards in 3 Years
May was my 3-year card-making anniversary. I feel fortunate to have had as much time over the past 3 years as I have to spend time on this hobby and increase my skills. Someday I'll share some of my earliest cards because wow, there's such a difference. It's neat to look back and see how… Continue reading 500 Cards in 3 Years
Dino Platform Pop Up
I had a request for a dino-themed baby card and I'm so happy with how this turned out! I was inspired by a card Tammy made. The Platform Pop Up is just an incredible leap forward for card making I think. It's so much better than the box pop up cards; somehow having that "floor"… Continue reading Dino Platform Pop Up
Beep Boop
I know this card is simple, but I just love how it turned out! I'm planning to make another one of these, plus a few other designs with with robot. It's just the cutest! I think it makes the list of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamps. 😊 I'm also very glad that I own the… Continue reading Beep Boop
Under The Sea Cards
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

Graduation Platform Pop Up
I'm so proud of how this turned out! And extra so because it was my own idea and not something I was recreating. 😊 I actually made 2 of these, one in blue and one in green. I hope they're kept to display at least for a little while! Materials used: Platform Pop UpFlower Market… Continue reading Graduation Platform Pop Up

This library card stamp is an old retired set from Lawn Fawn. I had been feeling like I wouldn't find a good way to use it but I saw this design and thought it would be perfect to recreate. That patterned paper in the background is also one I had a hard time finding a… Continue reading Check This Out
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
