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
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
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
I was inspired by a card Chari made with rainbow succulents and wanted to make my own. I was so excited when I saw these dies being released! Materials used: Lawn Fawn cardstock used on each succulent for backgrounds: Black Licorice, Chocolate BarLeft succulent pot: Fake Tan cardstock, Canned Pumpkin cardstock, Ripe Persimmon distress oxide… Continue reading Colorful Succulents
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
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
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
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
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
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

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
I have this old paper pack from My Favorite Things that I always want to use up, and Valentine's is the perfect time to use it. I think I could've filled in the letters on the hearts with a solid color to make it easier to read but I find this paper kind of hard… Continue reading Candy Hearts
I really liked this color combo and wanted to keep making more cards with it. I like it with the ink splatters better (like on the previous mini slimline card I posted) but I wasn't sure that would look right on these cards. Materials used: Stitched Cloud Backdrop PortraitDistress oxide inks: Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick,… Continue reading One Background, Two Cards
This design was inspired by Mindy E. It had been awhile since I had used the Fab Flowers set and I like the way this turned out. This was also my first card with the Quilted Heart Backdrop and I think it's very pretty.

For this card I used this stained glass glitter technique by Jennifer McGuire. You can watch her video here: https://youtu.be/neh-woJWFVs The idea to use this technique with these Layered Butterflies was from Tammy Swanson. 😊 And it's a great one! This part was a little time consuming and a tiny bit messy. I cut the… Continue reading Stained Glass Butterfly Card
