Happy 11th Birthday, Lawn Fawn! This is one of my favorite stamping companies. Not only do they have great customer service but fantastic products as well. Another reason to like Lawn Fawn stamps is because you can incorporate many sets into one card. As an example, I used Christmas stamp sets to make this birthday card. In fact, there were ten stamp sets that I used.

When my husband and I were dating, I would borrow a friend’s bike and we would bike along the coast. This card reminds of that time.
Lawn Fawn’s Bicycle Built for You has one bike image. To get the reverse image, I stamped the image with Versa Fine Black to Waffle Flower’s mini mulit-media mat. Then I pressed paper to the stamped image. I seem to have trouble cutting along the image. It never looked polished. This time I decided to create a die cut and trace along the colored stamped reverse image. By tracing the image, I now had a guide and to follow. It matched the spacing from the yellow bike. I was happy with the results.
After cutting the reversed imaged, I erased any lines.

A friend asked if I could make a card for her husband’s birthday. I had to think what do I know about the family. I know that they vacation a lot in Hawaii or at least they used to before Corvid. The first stamp that came to mind was Lawn Fawn’s, ‘ I like (a lotl).
I made the traditional shaker card but then I ran into trouble. The sequences would get caught behind the axolotl or behind the seaweed. I deconstructed it and started again, this time. I made a double panel. The embellishments are in their own panel which gives depth to the card as if you are viewing in it from a portal. I learned a couple of things. The layers need to dry before you shake the card. If you shake the card while it’s wet the sequence get glued to the side. Given that I need to mail the card ASAP, I moved the card. Just remember to let the glue set before moving the card.
