Lawnscaping Challenge #144: Christmas/Holiday sponsored by Lawn Fawn

Welcome back to another challenge from Lawnscaping! This challenge is CHRISTMAS, or any other holiday you celebrate.

Our sponsor for this challenge is the lovely...

 

Since it's holiday time, and we are all crazy busy (I'm like this all the time, so I'm starting to think it's just my personality!) so I shall keep it short and sweet.

I used a definite traditional color palette of red and green, but I added a pop of color with the glow of the lightbulb pulling in some yellow. It's hard to tell, but it's shimmery and so pretty in person.

 

A great way to take a look at your sentiments and try to pair up a fun out of the box idea from another set. This is how you can get so much more use out of your stamp sets!

 

I hope you enjoyed my bright greeting card! Thanks for stopping by and join in on our holiday challenge over at the Lawnscaping blog. Happy holidays!

Lawnscaping Challenge #120: Christmas Sponsored by Lawn Fawn

Good morning! Happy Monday all! There is another fab challenge up on the Lawnscaping Challenges blog today. Perfect theme for this month - Christmas!

We are sponsored by the always amazing Lawn Fawn! They are sponsoring this challenge with a free stamp set of the winner's choice! So many stamp to choose from. They're awesome!

Here is the card I've come up with for this fun challenge. I adore the Beep Boop Birthday set a lot, so I wanted to transform one of the robots to be a bit more festive! Isn't he so cute?! He's helping to decorate for the holidays!

I used the hat and scarp from the Baaah Humbug set as well as the string of lights. I also pieced together the sentiment label using the "gear up for a" from the Beep Boop Birthday set and the "Happy Christmas" from the Oh Snap which I cut out using the Stitched Labels dies. I added in the red bow at the bottom for a pop of color. 

The snow you see is just some ink I flicked on with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen in Crystal Clear. It gives this gorgeous shimmer and it's perfect to use for snow! I also added that in on the ball and trim of the Santa hat as well as using a red Sparkle Pen for the hat and bow. 

I hope you play along with us for this cheery challenge! Be sure to read the rules on the Lawnscaping Challenge blog and enter. Good luck and deck the halls!

Lawnscaping Challenge #114: One Layer

It's that time again - challenge time! So, this challenge from Lawnscaping Challenges is a great one. Most of us create dimensional cards, with many layers and elements. Not today!! Think CAS! I knew exactly what I wanted to do and the new set I wanted to use for this card...come check it out.

We are sponsored by the always amazing Lawn Fawn! Those folks just rock and they are sponsoring this challenge with a free stamp set of the winner's choice! So many stamp to choose from, I know. It's tough. We just heart them! Thank you Kelly Marie and gang for sponsoring us! YOU ROCK!

Here is my project for this one layer challenge:

I LOVE this set, can I just say that?? It's seriously adorable. All the little sheep and fun elements are too much. It's the Lawn Fawn Baaah Humbug set. My hubby and I give each other a card in our stockings on Christmas morning, so that was my inspiration. I wanted a CAS card since, let's face it, he's a guy and isn't about all the frills and fancy stuff. He likes simple, straight to the point. This fills the bill!

I took a piece of watercolor cardstock and made that my card base. Since this is a single layer card, I knew I wanted to use my Spectrum Aqua Markers for this card anyway, and I generally will stamp that, cut out and adhere to another piece of cardstock, but I just removed that step and stamped right onto my card base! I created my little scene here with the sheep and placed mistletoe and the ribbon between then. I stamped the sheep with Versafine in Onyx Black and colored in with my Spectrum Aqua Markers. 

For the mistletoe, I used Staz-On Midi in Cactus Green and the bow for the mistletoe is Memento Luxe in Love Letter. The sentiment is also in Versafine, Onyx Black. I simply curved it to my liking on my clear block and stamped that my card right above the mistletoe. 

It needed a little something, so I used some painters tape (some people use washi tape as well) to mask off a stripe and I colored it in with a Bronze Metallic Sharpie. 

There you have it. A totally cute, one layer card. 

Have fun with this challenge and be sure to check out the rules to enter your card into this challenge over on the Lawnscaping Blog!
