Elphie Selfie and Breast Cancer

Recently someone announced on Lawn Fawnatics group, that their mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. To cheer her mom up she was wondering if anyone would be interested in making her mom a card. In the back of my mind I thought, I can relate since my mom had breast cancer, and sent her a message that I could send her mom a card. Here is my card! PS- my mom has been cancer free for 15 years and I hope and pray that her mom does too!

You are Essential



Lately, I have been thinking about how grateful I am for my family. How blessed I am to be apart of this world and the community that I live in. Lawn Fawn featured a special stamp set called, “Say What? Masked Critters”. My family is essential. People wearing masking are essential. I am hopeful that we will get past this pandemic together.

The Lawn Fawn Challenge

Every two week, Lawn Fawn features a challenge. Each challenge has a theme. For challenge number 92 the theme was, “Happy Occasions”. I originally made this card for a very special teacher. Mrs.B taught my youngest daughter in the first grade. Just to give you an idea of how special Mrs.B is, my youngest daughter is a 6th grader now, and we communicate with one another, five years later. Since then Mrs.B has moved to another state but to my daughter she is still a very special person in her life. Mrs.B recently had a son. The timing coordinated with the theme so I entered the card in Lawn Fawn’s challenge. Below is the picture of my card that was entered.

I want to congratulate all the other winners. Lawn Fawn has a strong following with artists from around the world. The cards that were featured in the challenge were pretty epic. In addition, I also want to thank Lawn Fawn for posting my card.

In the meantime, the card is in the mail in the hopes of making someone feel special!

Happy Wednesday!

Special Delivery

Today’s card features Lawn Fawn’s Special Delivery Stamp set and Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-on. I used the Large Slimline set but extended it so the length of the owl and box of bird plus the bird house would look portional. The bird house needed to be anchored and not floating in the school so I took the liberty and added grass and mushrooms.

The birdhouse itself is embossed with Hero Arts Gratitude Background. The focus the owl so the birdhouse did not need to be a distraction, yet the added background gave the birdhouse texture.

The card is for a really special person who just had their first child. We are sending this person lots of love. The hearts are from Simon Says Stamp Heart Breeze die cut. Using Wink of Stella, to add sparkle to each of the hearts. In addition, to add shine I used Glossy Accents on each of the hearts.

Snow Globe Gift Tag

I am participating an exchange where you create and send a Christmas card, an ornament and a gift tag. Here are the two gift tags that I will be sending. Super easy to make.

One tag is colored with Copic markers and the other tag is colored in pencils. I just wanted to see what the colored images looked like on camera. I used a Uni-ball white pen to give the sky more stars. The Uni-ball white pen is my go to pen when I want to give an image a high accent. The glitter that I used is from Martha Stewart, called Sugar Cube Stars. I could not find it at Amazon. But any embellishment that you have can be added to a shaker.

Let It Snow

I made this card on Monday but I was not happy with details that make a card special. After thinking it over, I decided to do redo the card by giving it more layers. Using Over the Mountain stamps has three meadows in it, so I created three meadows. In addition, I added the car and the house from Snow Globe Scenes stamp set to create. It reminded me of time we took the family skiing in Denver, Colorado.

Winter Dragon has just one dragon. I was able to get the opposite version of the dragon by stamping it on Mini Media Mat by Waffle Flower and then pressing paper to it. I outlined the dragon with Pigma Micron black in and cut it out by hand. Some card makers call this process ‘fussy cut’ because it is easier to use a die cut. But since there is no opposite dragon and matching die cut , I did it by hand.

Get Well Soon

October 1, 2020

When you know someone who needs a paper hug, you send them a card. I am praying for my daughter’s math teacher who underwent surgery this week. This card is for Mrs. K. If she is reading this I want her to know that we care and we are sending her prayers for a speedy recovery and lots of hugs.

Lawn Fawn designed two sets of die cuts called Stitched Mug Frame and Outside In Stitched Mug. By using both sets, I was able to create a window to make a shaker card. The embellishments inside the mug are from Honey Bee Stamps called Joyful sequin mix. In addition, I used Honey Bee Stamp’s Crystal Clear Acrylic Hearts.
