Share the Love Week Featuring Lawn Fawn | Day 5

Today is the end of our first Share the Love Week...ah sadly all good things must come to an end. And it has been sweet working with Lawn Fawn's stupendous products along with w&w's.  Before we say farewell to this Share the Love Week featuring Lawn Fawn we have a few more projects to share with you.

Boy, oh boy!  I really had fun making this card.  I tried a few different things with this card and I am pretty happy with the results.  So, see if you can follow my thinking on this....my eyes fell upon the soda shop fountain drink from Lawn Fawn's Here's the Scoop set, and the wheels start turning in my head - soda shop, shared with a boyfriend (two straws) and a girl doodling hearts in her notebook.  Getting the picture?  I started with a red card base and cut a piece of the Crate Paper's Classic Love and adhered it off center / diagonal.  I love the chalkboard look here and promotes the idea of the young girl daydreaming during class.  The Write Stuff: Love Story notebook heart works perfect here.  I stamped it in pale blue and highlighted the margin lines with red pencil to mimic notebook paper.  Then I added the "you are so sweet" sentiment and open heart (also from Here's the Scoop) stamped in red for the doodling. I stamped the fountain drink twice.  Once on matte silver paper and once on white paper, where I colored in the straw stripes and the cherry, and then fussy cut from the whipped cream - up and around and then added it to the silver cup.  The silver paper isn't catching the light here, but it has just enough sheen to give you the right idea.  I felt like the left side was missing something and added some red and white baker's twine and sprinkled a few silver and black sequins (do they look like records from a juke box? - lol) plus one clear gemstone.  So Sweet, indeed!

Another struggle, but I came out alive with a few scrapes and bruises.  Pretty in pink is this little number.  I started out with a rather large piece of watercolor paper that I white embossed using the rectangle of solid circle confetti from Scenery: Big Bang Confetti.  Then I watercolored pink all over it.  I toned down the watercolor by sewing on a piece of vellum.  On the vellum I stamped some of the stars also from Scenery: Big Bang Confetti in pink.  I cut out the letters using Lawn Fawn's Quinn's ABCs Lawn Cuts (okay, I am like a broken record already but this is another really great die cut set to have on hand...what can I say Lawn Fawn designs great product!) out of white cardstock and attached it to the vellum panel with dimensional adhesive.  The vellum panel was added to a white panel and then to a card base that had been embossed with Lifestyle Crafts' Linear embossing folder.  Last I added a flower I had stamped from Lawn Fawn's Summertime Charm stamp set over the "o" and accented the flower with a white gem from Studio Calico.

Since I have been making cards more lately, I'm coming across supplies in my stash that I had nearly forgotten that I had.  This time it was the Gamsol.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Gamsol, it is odorless mineral spirits that I use with a blending stump to soften / smooth the look of my colored pencils.  From the moment I knew I was making a birthday card, I envisioned floating balloons and confetti behind a birthday message - and so that is what I created.  I chose the balloon from Lawn Fawn's Admit One set and I love how they look. I made this card once before and ruined the background, but when I remade the card, I forgot to use the very cute balloon string that is included in this set, so I just drew the strings myself.  The Scenery: Big Bang Confetti came in very handy to create the fun backdrop to the balloons.  The circles are stamped with versamark and then embossed silver, as well as the happy from The Big, The Bold, and the Happy.  Then I added the star singles from the Confetti set in a bright pink.  So cute!!! To finish the sentiment, I used the "birthday" from Lawn Fawn's Year Two and added "to you" in hot pink, also from Big, Bold, Happy.  This was so fun and easy to make, gender neutral, and works with just about any color combo.

This is the card I mentioned yesterday that wasn't working.  I worked on it and added quite a lot and here it is.  It all began with the library card from Check This Out by Lawn Fawn.  I gold embossed the big love and over stamped with aqua from The Big, the Bold, and the Happy stamp set and filled in more "love", "I" and "you" from the same set.  I think this card has more loves than any other card I have ever made.   This is for someone who really is stressing how much they love someone.  The "check this out" is also from Check This Out.  I added a reinforcement cut from cardstock covered with gold washi using Lawn Fawn's Tag You're It Lawn Cuts (another truly useful and versatile die set).  All of the die cuts are from October Afternoon and they were so much fun to customize with stamping.  The red "love" "4ever" and the gold embossed "love you" are all from The Write Stuff: Love Story.  I find this set great for adding accents to a card.  The little heart is from You've Got Love Mail.  Of course I had to add some more gold with those little sweet sequins (maybe some of you are familiar with them?).  Thankfully the card ended up better than where it ended last night!  Sometimes a night's rest gives you new perspective.

Today Joni is joining us with a stupendously sweet and adorable card (no surprise there!).  Ah, love w&w + Lawn Fawn style.

Don't miss our last day of the Share the Love Week featuring the ever darling Lawn Fawn tomorrow with the one and only Suzanne tomorrow!

Share the Love Week Featuring Lawn Fawn | Day 3

Winnie and Walter's love fest for Lawn Fawn continues.  If you are just tuning in we are spending a week making projects using w&w products with Lawn Fawn's.  What a fun task!

>>>THE GOOD STUFF<<<

Heather

Today Heather is playing along and she sure did an impressive job!  Her use of color and abilities with embossing are truly astounding.

CLICK HERE to go to Heather's blog for more details.  And why would you not want to go?

Shay

I must admit that the card I was originally making was not working so I took inspiration from Heather's embossing and dark card base accented with a dramatic border to create a trio of very simple cards.







The Big, the Bold, and the Happy stamp set comes out again (it is currently out of stock, but don't worry it will be back!).  I embossed each of the large words in gold on white cardstock die cut using Lawn Fawn's Stitched Journaling Card Lawn Cuts.  That is one amazing die set and a must have!  For the first card I used Lawn Fawn's Love 'n Breakfast and Belinda's Borders (this would be a sweet wedding or anniversary card).  On the second I used Lawn Fawn's A Birdie Told Me and Belinda's Borders.  On the last card I used Lawn Fawn's Blue Skies and Interlocking Backdrops.  The stamped images are colored in with Copics and the borders with colored pencils.  I finished the card with various tiny and oh-so-cute clothespins.

Come back tomorrow because there are 2 count them 2 more days of our Share the Love Week featuring the incomparable Lawn Fawn!

Share the Love Week Featuring Lawn Fawn | Day 2

Welcome to our second day of w&w + Lawn Fawn creations.  Winnie and Walter are crafters from the top of their furry heads to the tip of their tails which means we love inking up other stamps to play along with w&w stamps.  Who says you can have too many stamps?  And boy do Winnie and Walter love Lawn Fawn.  Who else has so much playfulness, joy and sunshine in everything they do?  We think stamping with Lawn Fawn stamps would put a spring in anyone's step.

We hope we lift your spirits today with our w&w and Lawn Fawn projects!

Today I have a sweet little valentine for you. We have a special place in our heart for the little snail, and I knew he would be cute with the Bee Mine set from Lawn Fawn. I created a little garden with the flowers, stamping them with chalk ink colors and coloring them in with Prismacolor pencils, and accenting them with a white gel pen. I masked off the snail from You've Got Love Mail so that I could use green chalk ink for the snail and then stamped him in brown on pink paper for the shell.  I added fruit punch stickles :) to the revealed pink heart and accents of more white gel pen. I stamped the cute little bee with his heart shaped trail and added blue stickles to the trail and his wings too.  I think the two sentiments also work very well together.  Mixing fonts makes me happy.  I did use a pen to draw the fluttering of the wings and added a few pearls to finish off the card.

Shay

I know Lawn Fawn is adorable (and Julie and soon Vanessa will be giving you the cute), but for some reason I went down a different route for this card.  An unorthodox color scheme may even mean this could be given to a guy...real guys will accept a little pink as they have nothing to prove.  I began with a white woodgrain card base (never can have enough woodgrain!).  The background is made of flicks of Color Shine by Heidi Swapp, sci-fi stars and open circles from the Scenery: Big Bang Confetti stamp set with an open heart added from Lawn Fawn's A Birdie Told Me. I filled in the hearts with white Inkssentials enamel accents and the small black circles with black Inkssentials enamel accents from Ranger to add glossy texture.  The sentiment strip is a piece of vellum black embossed with the "love note" from The Write Stuff: Love Story.  Note to self: buy embossing buddy or the like for a much cleaner end result when embossing on vellum.  I attached the vellum strip to a larger strip of yellow patterned paper using my beloved Tiny Attacher.  All the patterned paper is from Allison Kreft's Sweet Notes 6x6 paper pad for Webster's Pages.  The two larger hearts were die cut with Lawn Fawn's Hearts Lawn Cuts (dies).  Last touch was the xoxo wood chip by Freckled Fawn (so darling).

Vanessa

Vanessa has made a trio of sweetly sensational cards.  We are not sure which one is our favorite as we love them all.  

 

 

Adorable, right?  Make sure to CLICK HERE to visit Vanessa's blog to get the details on these perfectly precious cards!

See you tomorrow for Day 3 of Share the Love Week featuring Lawn Fawn!

Share the Love Week Featuring Lawn Fawn | Day 1

Welcome to our first Share the Love Week in which we pick a company that we love and use their products with our very own winnie & walter ones and feature them right here on the w&w blog.

We are starting up our Share the Love Week with a marvelous company that began with adorable stamps and now also has paper collections, lawn cuts (dies) and numerous other fabulous products.  Yes, we mean the one and only Lawn Fawn.  We love the sweet people behind Lawn Fawn as well as all of their designs.  The designs are not only spectacularly cute, but original and versatile.  Imagine that!

What a way to greet someone in the mail!  On this BIG, BOLD & BRIGHT card, I used the Lawn Fawn set Sunny Skies for the puffy clouds that are masked with the sun behind them, as well as the kite elements and the word Sunshine from the larger sentiment "you are my sunshine" popped up with foam adhesive.  The background is Twinkling H2O's that practically jumped out of my drawer and said "please use me!  It's been too long :)". I added the chain of hearts from You've Got Love Mail to the kite to add a sweet detail.  I inked up only three hearts for the center of this kite, and I found out that the whole set of 5 hearts fits on the larger kite - BONUS!! The hello is from The Big, the Bold and the Happy Cut That Out digital cutting files that coordinate with the stamp set by the same name.

Shay



My card is truly a marriage between our stamps and Lawn Fawn's.  The background is stamped using the heart border from Lawn Fawn's Belinda's Borders stamp set and the "xoxo" from w&w's You've Got Love Mail.  To tone it down I sewed on a layer of vellum.  Then I stamped the quote bubbles in black Versafine from Lawn Fawn's A Birdie Told Me.  The heart, "why I love you" and "4ever" are all from our The Write Stuff: Love Story. I used the "you brighten my day" sentiment from the Summertime Charm stamp set by Lawn Fawn.  I added Glossy Accents to the heart. The quote bubbles are adhered using foam dimensional adhesive.  The whole panel was then added to a black card base.  Volia!

Kelly is also joining in.  CLICK HERE to check out her blog to see what marvels she's made.  Don't miss it!
