After that I diecut the wonderful LIFT-THE-FLAP-TREE-BACKDROP and inked the trunks to give them dimension. Last I stamped, colored and diecut my images and stamped a circle sentiment and added it to the top righthand corner.

Karin's inspiration on Lawn Fawn For You July

  Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share some inspiration on the Lawn Fawn Blog  








I wanted to make two very summery lemon cards and started by diecutting lots of lemons that I inked using distress ink to color them and create dimension. I then made an ocean-sky bg by inking a panel that I attached to the card base. I framed my window using the scalloped frame.
For my second card I made a yellow card base and die cut  BAYOU BACKDROP  from cilantro cardstock that I then added to the cardbase with foam adhesive. I then added lots of lemons and leaves to create a feeling of a green mideterrainian pergola.



Make sure to pop over to the Lawn Fawnatics blog for lots of wonderful inspiration from my talented teamies and for all the info you need to play along!  By entering a card you have the chance of winning a 50 $ gift card to the Lawn Fawn Store!

SSS Ch 709 Back To School, Memory Box July 6th

Hi Everyone!


It is Wednesday again and I am here to introduce a new challenge at the fun and awesome Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week's challenge is called: Back To School
The team is showcasing products from: Memory Box
You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used!)
This is my take:











I made a bookmark as a little back to school gift. I used the Hey Bestie tag dies to cut my bookmark base. By cutting it two ways I could get that slimline version of the tag.
I cut several layers to add a bit of dimension and adhered them all together before adding the tag topper and the stamped, colored and cut images. I used foam adhesive but if you want a more practical bookmark just use regular adhesive tape..
