New Dies!!!!

So since the Lawnscaping Challenge 69 is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp I decided to stray from my Lawn Fawn Stamps and use my brand new Simon Says Stamp dies!  I am SOOO excited to have gotten them in the mail tonight and they are better than I had hoped!  I used the Merry Christmas Die and the Full Card Hexagons Die.  I then cut the dies again using Lawn Fawn's Peace Joy Love 6x6 paper pad to create a very simple and easily replicable card!  I created the cards using both red and green cardstock but find after creating them that I like the red better!  

This may be one of the Christmas Cards I create in bulk and send to family and friends. 

I think the green needs one of the red patterned papers to offset all the green.  

Hope you enjoyed!

I've gone Banana's for YOU! :)

This was completely outside of my comfort zone because it uses yellow... A LOT of yellow!!!  I used more of the Mama Elephant Basic Borders stamps along with Lawn Fawn's My Silly Valentine.  This is a pretty simple card that was mostly to just challenge myself to create a monochromatic card and to use a color I RARELY use!  Overall I am happy with the results.

I also figured since I have created the card and have updated the blog I would use it for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge #69!  The challenge is all about Sentiments.  Sadly I missed the challenge using monochromatic maybe next time. :)  Hope you enjoy!

Plaid Christmas Card inspired by Kristina Werner

So I recently saw Kristina Werner create a very cool card using some masking paper and various inks and thought that is an amazing card and I wonder if I can use some of my Lawn Fawn stamps and newer Momento Luxe inks to create the same effect even though I don't have as many different stripes as she did.  Turns out... I can! :)
I used Tag, You're It for the Lawn Fawn stamps and Mama Elephant's Basic Borders for the stripes.
For the inks I used all pigment inks which included Memories Unicorn, Momento Luxe Love Letter and Pistachio.  The black is Versafine Black ink.

I love the effect of this one as much with mine as I did with Kristina Werner's! :)  You can see her's here.

I decided to use this card to play along with Lawnscaping Challenge #69 which is all about Sentiments.
I hope you enjoy and this inspires you the way Kristina's card inspired me! :)
