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!

One in a chameleon!

Hey everyone!  It's Amy here with a pretty quick card!  I've been so smitten with the distress oxide inks and knew what I wanted to do with the Your Next Stamp - One in a Chameleon set:

Oh my, his sweet face cracks me up!  I combined the following Distress Oxides

Twisted Citron

Cracked Pistachio

Lucky Clover

I did the smooshing technique starting with lightest to darkest and doing the colors one at a time.  I make sure each color has been thoroughly dried with my heat gun.  This is all done on Ranger Watercolor Paper.

When everything is thoroughly dried I stamped my sentiment and the chameleon with Versafine Onyx.

Love Your Next Stamp's heavy lines...makes it easy to fussy cut!  That guy has been popped on a foam dimensional for added interest.

Check out the One In a Chameleon set:

Thanks so much for stoppin' by...have an awesome week!

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.

Adulting is Hard!

Hey all, it's Katie.  We all know the Fall Coffee Hop is here!  Woohoo!  I have a fun fall card just for the occasion and here it is. 

This pretty much says it all doesn't it?!  Yep, I think so. 

This card was so fun to make.  I used a fun variety of products many of which I got straight from the THD Store.  I used some Lawn Fawn Perfect Plaid Fall Pack along with some Pebbles Paper.  I inked up this cute (and mad) kitty from Your Next Stamp- Coffee Right Meow.  I coupled it with Sugar Pea Designs Coffee Words Die and Perfect Blend.  The enamel dots were just the right finish.  

I am entering this into the current Your Next Stamps Sketch Challenge.   It is also perfect for the current THD mood board!

Have fun coffee hopping and thanks for the visit!
