Karin's January inspiration on the Lawn Fawn Blog

  Hi Everyone !

I'm here with some inspiration for your new Card making year - A promise I've made to myself is to have lots of beautiful but blank cards that I can use for lots of different occasions. Here are two cards like that.






I started by making my cardbases and then cover the fronts with  panels cut from the beautiful LIGHT BROWN WOODGRAIN cardstock. I then cut top borders using LACY-BORDERS
STITCHED-SCALLOPED-BORDERS from cream cardstock

I then diecut lots of flowers from different sets that I assembled and added to the card. Last I diecut the bow from build-a-barrel-apple from LF Gold cardstock and from a scrap piece of darker gold to create dimension.

Now when I need a card I can simply add the numbers for a birthday or a sentiment banner and I have the perfect card for (almost) any occasion.

. 

Now pop over to the Lawn Fawn Blog for awesome cards from the super talented team - so inspiring!.

Simon Says Stamp Card Kit: December

   MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone!


I am here to share my first card made with the  new Simon Says Stamp Card Kit project !
This time with the December 2022 Card Kit. So many fun things in this kit!!! I absolutely LOVE the layering stencils - so fun top play around with different color combos.


















I started by diecutting a panel which I inked, stamped and spattered with white gouach before adhering it to a piece of striped patterned paper.  I then diecut the WONDERFUL santa and colored and assembled him before adding him to the card with foam adhesive. The beard is cut from the velvet that came with the kit (you can buy it seperately) and it gives the santa such a great touch and texture! 


December 2022 Card Kit.
