Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #25!

Kerri 4:40 PM 1 Comments

Hello! I made this a few days ago for the current Lawn Fanatics Challenge #25 which is a color challenge:

I was able to squeeze in all of these fun, bright colors into one final Easter card:) I used the adorable LF Easter Party Stamp Set and Lawn Cuts to create my fun scene. I started by using the MFT Stencil Sunrise Radiating Rays and some Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink to sponge my sunrise. I added some grass that I cut with the Your Next Stamp Stitched Grass Die, and cut the clouds with the Stitched Cloud Duo Dies from Taylored Expressions. The main panel was cut with the largest Stitched Rectangle Stacklets Die from TE, and I added the little egg using the TE Easter Confetti Die.

I just LOVE these cuties!!! That's it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Easter!

Hello! So if you saw my previous post, you saw that I got to go to the MFT Boutique this weekend! So fun! I came home with a few goodies, and had to play right away:) I made a quick and simple card for this week's sketch challenge:

My daughter and her friends picked out this Beach Bunnies Stamp Set lol. It really is so cute!!! I already had this square sponged and ready to go on my desk, so I replaced the circle with the square, added some grass along with the darling bunny and cloud image from the Beach Bunnies set, and the balloon and flowers from the BB Adorable Elephants Stamp Set. The dp is Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar.

MFT Color Challenge #89!

Kerri 4:20 PM 0 Comments

Hello! So check out where I went this weekend:

Can you believe I live 40 minutes from the MFT Boutique!!! I've known this, but since I was on the Taylored Expressions DT for so long I was pretty much only using TE supplies. This weekend I told my hubby I really wanted to check out the MFT Boutique and now I am a total addict!!! I was like a kid in a candy store in there! The store is absolutely beautiful and I wanted to take every single thing home with me. Needless to say I will be back often:)

Now that I have some MFT goodies, and I'm all signed up for newsletters and challenges and promotions, etc. I wanted to play along with the current color challenge!

I used the ADORABLE BB Magical Dragons Stamp Set, along with the Small Brick Wall Stencil to create my card. I colored the images with Copic Markers and cut them out with my ScanNCut 2. I added the grass using the TE Wispy Grass Border Die and the clouds using a TE Build a Scene Rolling Clouds Die. Finally I added a few Doodlebug Tangerine Sprinkles. So super CUTE!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful evening:)

Kerri 9:52 PM 2 Comments

Hello! I'm back with another project for the LF Fun with Dies Challenge #24! I couldn't wait to ink up this adorable new Beam Me Up Stamp Set:) I decided to make a fun little gift bag by using the LF Tote Bag Die. I cut it out of white cs and used Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink to sponge my sky. I then spritzed with water and finally, flicked some watered down white craft paint all over the bag for the stars.

I colored my images with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating Beam Me Up Lawn Cuts. I used a circle die to cut a red planet and the stars are dies from the LF Scalloped Box Card Pop Up Set.

I just love these little bags for gift cards:) Thanks for stopping by again!
