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

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
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

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
Swish n Pop Bunny
This was my very favorite Easter card I made this year! This brilliant design is by Megan Quinn and I recreated it pretty much exactly like hers. I had owned the Swish n Pop die since it came out about a year ago and had surprisingly never used it. I knew I wanted to make… Continue reading Swish n Pop Bunny
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
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
Reveal Wheel Easter Card
I am so in love with this paper combo! I've already gushed about the spring papers from Lawn Fawn but just look at them together. 😍 And with the Spiffy Speckles paper for the grass it's just perfect.

Easter Cards: Lessons Learned
And now for two cards that didn't turn out quite how I planned: I kept trying to find a good mat for this one but nothing seemed right. I used shimmer cardstock as the mat and I can't tell if something else would've worked better or not. I'm also still a little wary of using… Continue reading Easter Cards: Lessons Learned

Easter Egg Shaker Card
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
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
