Special Guest Dana Kirby

Hi THD fans!  Today we have another amazing guest designer joining us on the blog.  Ms. Dana Kirby!  She was the winner of Challenge 15! and she has some holiday inspiration to share.

This first card features Lawn Fawn's Pumpkin Spice Latte set as well as some Echo Park holiday paper.  It is so fun, in love with the colors and layout. The scalloped edge is so sweet. 

She also created this fun card and gift card holder!  The embossing folder is Echo Park and the stamp set is Lawn Fawn Love you a Latte.  The black is just so bold for a holiday set but it works so well!  Perfectly cute Dana and thank you for joining us with these amazing creations!

You can find more of her fun creations on Instagram here,

Thanks for you visit!

For You

Seriously, what's not to love about squirrels and acorns?!  Hey, this is Amy here with you today sharing a fall inspired project.

I've been wanting to ink up the Neat & Tangled - My Favorite Nut stamp set.  I combined it with the Lawn Fawn Tiny Tags stamps.

That little baggie is from my stash.  I was digging around and found it all by its lonesome and thought it matched wonderfully with my color palette.

Don't forget about the current challenge, there's still time to join in the fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have an awesome week!

Stretching your dies!

Hi Friends!  Katie here with another fun card for this month's THD challenge!  Here is our fun and hilarious inspiration board as a reminder: 

Here is my card: 

As you can see, I honed in on the green and black from the inspiration photo.  Some of these DPs are quite old, but I've held onto them for a long time and it worked out perfectly.  I used the SugarPea Designs stamps and colored them with my Copics.  Now how fun is the use of the Lawn Fawn Wonderful Window Die?!  You wouldn't think to use it in black for something spooky but it works so well.  I simply covered the little heart with a Doodlebug star to set the mood right. 

Do you celebrate Halloween?  If so, what are you doing to get ready for it?  

I hope you enjoyed this post and hope you will join us for this challenge!

Beary Warm Autumn Greetings

Have you seen the new Lawn Fawn release for the holidays? Omg, sooooooo cute! Toni here with you today to share with you how I used the Beary Happy Holidays set to create a fall card.

First I created the background by blending Distress Oxides and a touch of Distress Ink Tumbled Glass from dark blue to yellowy green. Next I cut the Gina Maria Tree Frame Die from Lawn Fawn Knock on Wood 6x6 Paper, adhering to the base with Ranger Multi Medium Matte. Now the fun part! I colored the Lawn Fawn Beary Happy Holidays bears and the fire from MFT Toasty Greetings using Copics. I used an Exacto knife to cut around the large bear's arm so he could hold the branch. To finish the scene I sponged leaves from Lawn Fawn Leafy Tree Backdrop die using Distress Inks and adhered them to the trees.  On the inside of the card, I stamped a few leaves and sentiment from Lawn Fawn Jump for Joy.

A reminder too that our next challenge starts this Wednesday so be ready to get your scare on!

Have A Claw-some Birthday

Hi everyone it's Lenae here from SugarGem. When I saw this stamp set from Lawn Fawn I HAD to buy it for my honey. We have 2 labrador retrievers and their dad has an addiction to playing the claw machine at the grocery store and winning stuffed animals for them. Sometimes he comes back from the grocery store with 9 stuffed animals. The dogs go nuts for the toys. I made this card for him for his birthday.

The Heart Desires Challenge 16

Fall is nearly upon us and I am so ready! I love everything about the season: the changing of the colors, little animals stuffing their faces in preparation for winter (yeah, that's my excuse), harvest, crisp mornings and warm afternoons, just everything about it. Come celebrate with us and join in the fun!

Fruity Colorful Fun

Oh, happy fall day!  Toni here with you sharing a super fun and fruitilicious card with lots of Waffle Flower and Lawn Fawn.

I started out with a smooshed panel using Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon, Mowed Lawn, and Tumbled Glass.  I cut it out using Lawn Fawn Leafy Tree Backdrop Portrait.  The grass is also cut from the smooshed panel (the not as pretty part but perfect for the LF Simple Grassy Hillsides die). I mounted this on a LF Stitched Cloud Portrait die base that I stenciled over with Distress Ink Squeezed Lemonade and one of the new Carta Bella Magical Plaid stencils. Once the background was set, including adding the LF Picket Fence at the last minute, I added in the Waffle Flower Fruity Thank You images then finished the card off with a sentiment from Jump for Joy stamped onto an Everyday Sentiment Banner die.

I hope you enjoy your day as much as she is!
