I go to my room and look at my supplies, get overwhelmed and then try to decide if I should just give them all away or try to make something. Today I decided that I would join in some challenges. Today's card is for the <a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/category/challenges" target="_blank">Lawnfawnatics challenge</a>. It features You Autumn Know, Scripty Autumn, a little heart from Tiny Tag Sayings: Birthday and the Fall Leaves background Stencil. I even pulled out my oooooolllllldddd crimper. Remember those?? LOL. I colored with a mixture of alcohol markers from different companies.

(How's that for a run-on sentence!). Anywho, I thought this was a perfect time to try the 3-D die. I used the sweet Lawn Fawn Critter Concert set and it turned out "better than horrible" as Gina K would say. Even though it wasn't perfect, it was fully appreciated, as indicated by the bass guitar's full return to health two weeks later. :) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">BTW, I'm the raccoon in the front playing flute... :)</span></div><br /> <p></p>Tricia Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03234452777402519933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830358498163156249.post-23934149627064082712022-08-01T12:32:00.002-05:002022-08-01T12:36:20.133-05:00Christmas in August<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih1KqFvu_mysySeBxRazxhHOqsSfqyHz48LmcZbFRRVW0loGxziIKppVjv6MboB9SZXBJbT_22b6x-mS4EOeljlTXZ8JU7DGMr5Fjhv7Yaj9_VrgJgexo_KHSVSRAphBhe-P_pNzq2B_zNnzqmm_gcKhGVxKzpKJhEc_XlVUh_77l-RinH2iYwgAeGGg/s3024/IMG_3236.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih1KqFvu_mysySeBxRazxhHOqsSfqyHz48LmcZbFRRVW0loGxziIKppVjv6MboB9SZXBJbT_22b6x-mS4EOeljlTXZ8JU7DGMr5Fjhv7Yaj9_VrgJgexo_KHSVSRAphBhe-P_pNzq2B_zNnzqmm_gcKhGVxKzpKJhEc_XlVUh_77l-RinH2iYwgAeGGg/w640-h640/IMG_3236.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hello friends!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have sooo many Christmas cards to make!

But I love to do all the steps the first time because it is like figuring out how to put a puzzle together. :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Have a great day and be sure to check out the challenge!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Blessings!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tricia</span></div><p></p>Tricia Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03234452777402519933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830358498163156249.post-59595303453781581392020-12-01T11:49:00.002-06:002020-12-01T11:49:52.590-06:00Lawn Fawn Coaster Critters Reveal Wheel Card<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrUH4CH_6q6UUUoSfH722F0ZCAZQ4Ek4gZOIogjRnHYQPSycpnBxirppo5k4_E_Z4hH_bKo1jemka37PFv2s2r3x_L2XJ-XAFuLfkaOB4jvzYdF4xzAwvIvn17MQovf2DKEbaXBTqG5PIf/s2048/IMG_1942.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrUH4CH_6q6UUUoSfH722F0ZCAZQ4Ek4gZOIogjRnHYQPSycpnBxirppo5k4_E_Z4hH_bKo1jemka37PFv2s2r3x_L2XJ-XAFuLfkaOB4jvzYdF4xzAwvIvn17MQovf2DKEbaXBTqG5PIf/w400-h400/IMG_1942.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I know this isn't Christmas-ish, but I made my first Lawn Fawn reveal wheel card yesterday, and I **love** it!

My daughter loves to go to Disney, so I made this card in her honor. See the Mickey Mouse ears on the bear?? :).

Amazing!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's been so long since I shared here. Instagram is great, but I miss being able to type out my thoughts. I've been in the process of downsizing my stamping supplies - purging old things to make room for new. I have over 45 pounds of stamps and supplies to find a home for at this point, and I'm not done!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One of the things I realized as I've been working through which stamps to keep and which to let go is that I have a few of these Lawn Fawn critter sets that I just *love*, but that I am afraid to use because I don't consider myself a good scene builder. So I've decided to change that. I am going to <i>become</i> a good scene builder. I'm going to watch videos, read blog posts, buy any tools I need and PRACTICE. So today I started by stamping out a number of images from the <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/products/cheery-christmas?_pos=1&_sid=69dac9a8b&_ss=r" target="_blank">Cheery Christmas</a> set. I colored them with markers and a white gel pen and then started to build a little scene on the table in front of me. Originally I was going to use all the images on the same card, but then I found this piece of snowflake patterned paper in my stash and plans changed...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I ended up with this...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNQRzJfzX0uzLbOKS7zeOXQrHtSoo_yJBdEIEwjRhazWvU2pFZQcDrcpOHNfF5pxX-O9_7xHlGY63pVoLG1R3RKty6t2UwOqWMMpPM1jgcs4lD7Ac0YT0Z5F7zbZMOze7PzqZMSnQKphPh/s2048/IMG_1858.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNQRzJfzX0uzLbOKS7zeOXQrHtSoo_yJBdEIEwjRhazWvU2pFZQcDrcpOHNfF5pxX-O9_7xHlGY63pVoLG1R3RKty6t2UwOqWMMpPM1jgcs4lD7Ac0YT0Z5F7zbZMOze7PzqZMSnQKphPh/w640-h640/IMG_1858.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>The word 'happy' is from the <a href="https://www.lawnfawn.com/search?type=product&q=happy+penguin" target="_blank">Winter Penguin</a> set.

Are you all ready to celebrate Christmas? Today our challenge at Your Next Stamp is to make a card with our favorites. I chose my favorite set from 2019 - Spread Your Wings and my favorite embellishments... GUMDROPS! I wish you could see all the sparkle on this card. Between the glitter in the Gumdrops and the Wink of Stella I used on the wings of the butterfly, it really shines. It makes me happy. :)<br />

Would you like some extra inspiration with one of the new <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=common/home">Your Next Stamp</a> sets? I love how the train cart "fillings" from <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=20">Santa Express Train Carts Two</a> can be used in different ways to give your card a whole different look.</div>

Today, I added the ornament and lights cart topper that I cut out with the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=20">matching die</a> to a sponged background that I dressed up with a simple die cut <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1380&search=scallop+star">Scallop Star Edge</a> border, a few hand cut flags and some <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=17_88">Gumdrops</a>. I love that it looks whimsical and almost elegant with the light colors.<br />

<br />
Today starts a new challenge over at Your Next Stamp and we are looking for cards that are "Mad for Plaid". I decided to make it easy on myself and used some plaid background paper from the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=17_90&product_id=1988&limit=75">Mint Cocoa Kisses 6x6 Paper Pad</a>.<br />

I cut out my image and sentiment with dies from the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1367&search=cool+tag">Cool Tag Three Die</a> Set, and used a <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=920&search=stitched+rectangle">Stitched Rectangle Die</a> to cut out my patterned paper mat.

Welcome to my stop on the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=20">Your Next Stamp </a>November New Release Blog Hop! (Try saying that 5 times fast...)</div>
<br />
I have had such fun playing with the stamps and dies in this release. There is so much Christmas cuteness! The set I used today is my very favorite. What's not to love about bunnies and cookies???<br />
<br />
Before I show you my card, don't forget that there is a $25 YNS Gift Certificate prize to one commenter during the hop. The more blogs you visit and comment on, the better your chance of winning, but you don't have to comment on every blog to qualify.<br />
<br />
OK, ready for my <b>Christmas Cookie</b> card??<br />

My card is so, so easy. Even the coloring is easy. A kraft card base, a Darice embossing folder and some ribbon make the bottom layers. Then I colored my Christmas Cookie image and cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle Die and used a Scalloped Stitched Rectangle that I cut in half and resized to make the red scalloped mat. I stamped the sentiment and hand cut a little flag and then I popped it up with a little knot of twine on the end. The iridescent sparkly snowflakes were at the bottom of a drawer in my stamp room. Who knew?? I thought they fit here!</div>

YNS Challenge 124<span style="font-size: large;">Hello friends! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our challenge title for this week at Your Next Stamp sounds like it should be football related! But instead we were asked to make a card that was 3.75" x 9". I don't make cards that long very often!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to go with one of my favorite birthday sets... <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=921&search=brrr">Waddles - Happy Brrr-thday</a>. I colored the images with my Comics and then fussy cut them, since I don't have the dies for this set. I cut a mask from a piece of cardstock with the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=2131">Circle Burst die</a> and sponged through it with some yellow ink to add a "sun" to my sky. I stamped a sentiment on some purple cardstock with Versamark ink, using both the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2142&search=Make+some">Make Some Noise</a> and <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1368&search=cool+tag">Cool Tag Banner Sentiments</a>, and embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I sprinkled it with gel pen dots for some fun. The banners are cut from cardstock and patterned paper from the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1733&search=birthday+girl">Birthday Girl</a> pad, and I finished it up with some <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1339&search=magical+gumdrop">Magical Pastel Sparkly Gumdrops</a> and some <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=17_88&product_id=1696">Fairy Magic Sparkly Gumdrops</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Acck! So much sweetness!!! I love this new <b><a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=20">Make Some Noise </a></b>set from <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=common/home">Your Next Stamp</a>! There are matching dies available to cut out the little images, but .... well, I <strike>buried my wire cutters under the pile on my stamping desk and couldn't find them</strike> ahem...<i>misplaced</i> my wire cutters so I couldn't cut the dies apart when I made the card. The good thing is that they are easy to fussy cut! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I cut out the background with the new <b><a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=20">Circle Burst Die</a></b> and sponged it with shades of pink and orange. The patterned paper is from the <b><a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1733&search=birthday+girl">Birthday Girl</a></b> paper pad. Don't you just love patterned paper?? I do!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was trying to make a little sky behind my birdie by embossing some white feathers on card stock and then sponging over it with blue ink, then framing it in a popped up circle. Kind of like a shaker card without the shaker... :). Just a quick, fun card to say hello to a friend!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's school time, so we are working with our ABC's at Your Next Stamp... Anything But a Card. This is something I really struggle with, but it really came together fast when I decided to use the Flower Treat Bag die! I decorated the pieces with some fall patterned paper before I used some ScorTape to put it together. Then I layered a few tags together and tied them onto the bag with some twine. It fits that little baggie of M&M's perfectly!! :)</span></div>

I stamped a sweet smile from the <i><a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=2072">So Mush Fun</a> </i>set on the sun, and added a butterfly and sentiment from <i><a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1886&search=mice">Flowers and Smiles</a> </i>set. Quick and easy and already in the mail to brighten someone's day!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's time for another challenge over at <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/blog/">Your Next Stamp</a>, and this time around we are looking for Lots of Squares. I've had this Sprinkles image from the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1137&search=sprinkles">Sew Sweet</a> stamp set, and these flowers from the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1597&search=easter&page=2">All Aboard Bunch of Happiness</a> set sitting on my desk for a month now, all colored and waiting to be used on a card. Well, today was the day!! :) I used some scraps of patterned paper from my stash for the background squares in the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2050&search=square">So Many Squares Panel Die</a>, and just layered Sprinkles and the flowers on top. I embossed the sentiment in white and added some sparkly <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=17_88&product_id=1944">Gumdrops</a>. So quick and easy!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am on the Your Next Stamp blog today sharing this fun card ...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBmhJwl6rUaEhQl3NJ-eo1IYCYUV0nAk1XTE9cbpOU5VoVSnm3XByzadKADgvZG6JWuyCAg7UaFifcCvT3Ib70_r-RPfFWzuembZlhdUsFfLkN4vS1MAVTAKEef45iuPQRV6QTcim6_4Jl/s1600/BirdBrain2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBmhJwl6rUaEhQl3NJ-eo1IYCYUV0nAk1XTE9cbpOU5VoVSnm3XByzadKADgvZG6JWuyCAg7UaFifcCvT3Ib70_r-RPfFWzuembZlhdUsFfLkN4vS1MAVTAKEef45iuPQRV6QTcim6_4Jl/s1600/BirdBrain2.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It features another of the cute critters that are included in the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=20">Cool Tee set</a> -- one that I have dubbed Einstein bird. What a hoot! (Oh, wait, that would be an owl...) Anyway, I colored my bird with copics and added him to a card full of patterned paper layers. I think it would be the perfect birthday card for someone who loves computers, or science, or both! The sentiment I chose is from the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1368&search=cool+tag">Cool Tag Banner Sentiments</a>. That set is so versatile that it never leaves my desk!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by!</span><br />
