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.

My youngest cringed when I came home with unicorn keychains for her class. The saga with valentine day cards continues. She is no longer at that stage where she dresses up as princesses, and play with dolls. Those days are bygone. Yet that mom in me still sees that little girl. Hence the princess card!
My Favorite Things Stamp, Pretty Princess, Rainbows &Unicorns, Heart Air Balloon, Loopy Love are included in this card.
I used two pieces of Solar White Neenah paper for the word, LOVE. I colored one piece with Kitsch Flamingo with a blending brush. After gluing the pieces together, I added Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter and Glossy Accents to make the word ,’love’ look shiny.
There are small details that I like about this card. I like the shiny crown made with Nuvo Glitter Drops, Honey Gold. In addition, the wheel on the carriage has two small dots from Nuvo called Bubblegum Blush.

Happy Monday! Today I am featuring Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much in the Box Card. S The kit is worth purchasing because it has a heart stencil, glossy accents, colored paper , an additional stamp called Sweet Truffles and envelopes. To see what is in the Valentine’s kit click here.
My goal was to utilize the valentine’s kit’s content. I have only one regret, I did not purchase the matching dies. I wish I had. Here is the list of supplies I used from Simon Says Stamp that were not included in the Valentine’s kit. I have also included the links to make it easier. These are not affiliate links, I am sharing what I enjoy doing and that’s making cards.
There are two sides to box so no matter what angle you are looking at the box, you can see an image. One side is a shaker heart filled with Pastel Hearts Speciality from Micheals. The other side is stamped with the words, ‘I love you’ from the Love You Beary Much stamp set. I used Waffle Flower Craft Tool Mini Media Mat to do a reverse image of the speech bubble. You might be asking yourself what does this mean? It means I stamped the image on the mat. When the image it wet I pressed paper onto it and that’s how I got a reverse image.

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!
Carol
