A Retro Christmas!!

Hi there, I still seem to be in Christmas card-making mode at the moment ... have you started to make yours yet???
I'ts my second and last time guesting with the Lawnscaping challenge blog this month, this time around the girls are asking you to use your Lawn Fawn stamps and be inspired by something you've found on Pinterest. Are you a pinterest fan?.....I love it and knew exactly which image would inspire my card.....

and here's the pinterest image

I really think that Lawn Fawn's Ornate Ornarnaments lend themselves perfectly to that retro printed style and by using some masking and Distress inks it was quite easy to do too.... I love the angular lines that don't follow the curves of the bows and the bold blocks of colour :0)

Please hop over here and check out the challenge details and thanks for stopping by today :0)

Last Minute Christmas cards

Hi everyone... Jenny here :0)

I know we are so close to the big day now and most of you are done with Christmas cards 

but I have a few designs to share with you today that I made for my sons

classmates at school..... I haven't had chance to think of anything beyond Christmas this week!!!

I decided to go done the simple route although cutting the reindeer took a while!!

They are 4" square cards, perfect for school friends, here are each design..

I embellished each image with a gem, pom pom or glossy accents and the sentiment was 

easy to shape on the acrylic block to fit the design. The pom pom on the snowmans hat was white to start but easily changed with a promarker to match the hat colour :0)

Here are the sets I used..

All You'll Need, Freezy Fellas, Critters in the Snow

and Ornate Ornaments

I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy, and hopefully dry, Christmas :0)

I'll be back next week with something other than a Christmas card!!

Thanks for looking

Merry Christmas

Hello.

Its another Christmas card from me today :)

I die cut the "merry" and used lawn fawns Interlocking backgrounds stamped  behind to add some colour to the letters.

"Christmas"  is stamped using Clair's ABC.

I used some Peppermint twine from lawn fawn to hang the little bauble from Ornate ornaments.

Thanks for looking.

Lawn fawn Pop up card tutorial

Hello.

I have wanted to make a pop up card for a while and thought for my first try at making one i would share how i made it.

I hope i have made it clear enough.

 Start with two pieces of card.

One plain card stock one patterned paper.

Both the same size.

Score to make your card base...both pieces.

 Hopefully the picture explains how to score and cut.

You will only score and cut the plain card stock.

 It should like this inside.....

 And like this when folded.

Add double sided tape, be careful not to add any to the centre bit that's been score and cut.

Then stick together with your patterned paper.

 Now choose your stamps and decorate the inside. 

 This is my finished card on the front I have kept it quite simple.

The inside, all popped up and 3d.

I have used all lawn fawn stamps.

Sets used are...

Let it snow and Critters in the snow, These are both out of stock ....But more are on the way.

Ornate ornaments

This would also work well with Making frosty friends.

I also used .....

 Peppermint lawn trimmings.

Copics.

Thanks for looking.

Ornate ornaments

Hello.

Im really trying to keep up with my Christmas cards this year.

Have you all started yet? 

For this card I used the lovely Ornate ornaments from Lawn fawn.

 I stamped the the background in two shades of green then used a brayer with the lighter shade.

The baubles were heat embossed then cut out.

I have them raised of off the card.

The bow, hook and string were stamped straight onto the card.

I finished with a little bling on the bows.

Thanks for looking.
