My Crafty Thanksgiving Week

 

Hello and happy Saturday.  Today, I'm posting some of the cards I made over the course of this week.  The current challenge at Lawn Fawnatics #89 is Happy Holiday Critters, and I am linking up my first two cards to that challenge and at WWC299 (Occasion is Christmas/Holiday)

I created a little snowy night holiday scene with 2 of the bears from Den Sweet Den and the Forest Border die.  I just love how cute these bears are, and it reminds me of knitting for my kiddos.  I am also entering this card at Shopping Our Stash #434: Let it Snow and Just Add Ink #533: Just Add "S" (Snow)

For my second Lawn Fawn holiday critter card, I used a tag I made a while back for The 25 Days of Christmas Tags using these adorable birds, and converted it to a card, and I am entering this card at Just Add Ink #533: Just Add "S" (Singing)

Moving on to birthdays, I loved the look of that metallic paper so much on this card, I decided to use a piece of copper colored paper for my next card.  I started with a three layer die from Birch Press Epiphany, cut the first two layers from white and cut the top layer with the copper paper.

Here is a closer look at some of the details.  I used a die from Concord & 9th to cut the sentiment out of a piece of black card stock, and backed it with more of the same copper paper.  I am entering this card at Seize the Birthday #204: Sparkle & Shine and Just Add Ink #533: Just Add "S" (Shine).

My next card is inspired by the Sketch Challenge at MFT #517 and the Color Challenge #154.  This is a really fun get well card for someone who is not very sick.

My next card started as a fail, but after changing direction, I am pleased with the final result.  I swiped a piece of cardstock with Catherine Pooler ink, splattered water, then tried to do something I saw on a video with versa mark and the stamp that I will use in my next card.  That did not work, and I was left with a very pretty colored background.  I sliced it up into strips, and used it to follow the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches #398.  I am also entering it at Just Add Ink #533: Just Add "S" (Strips).

Almost at the end....I started playing around with a new Hero Arts cling stamp and have 2 cards so far to show for my effort.

I white heat embossed the image and blended distress oxide inks all over.  Added this little moose I am enamored with, a popped up sentiment and WOS everywhere.  I am entering this card at Stay Crafty with Hero Arts #17: Thank You and A Blog Named Hero:  Glitter and Sparkle.

For my second card with this stamp, I heat embossed in black sparkle, sponged distress oxide ink and then cut my panel down as inspired by the current sketch at Fusion.  I am also entering this card at Stay Crafty with Hero Arts #17: Thank You and A Blog Named Hero:  Glitter and Sparkle.

I think I have 4 more spots to enter at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week, so I will enter the first 4 cards in my post over there.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020...Day 14...Lawn Fawn/Lawnfawnatics

Welcome to the 10th Annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags!

If you are new to the event you can click HERE to see the posts from the last 9 years. There are also links to the Pinterest boards for each of  the past years at the bottom of this post.  There is so much incredible inspiration there.  I am so excited to share that there are 26 sponsors this year, and each of the sponsors and their designers will be joining us as a guest for a day!  

   

Welcome to Day 14!

If you are just arriving for the first time all the details and the linkup can be found HERE!

Today I am thrilled to announce that we have Lawn Fawn as our sponsor.

I decided to make a trio of tags.  Each tag uses a different Lawn Fawn stamp set, but they are unified in that I used the same tag die, sentiment ink colors and each tag has some cute critters.

This tag uses some of the adorable mice from Mice on Ice.

This tag features a pair of the bears from one of my newest Lawn Fawn sets, Den Sweet Den.

Last up is a tag featuring these sweet songbirds from Winter Sparrow.  This set is quite old, yet timeless, and I am always happy when I make something with these stamps.

Please head over to the main post on Tracey's blog for more information on how you can join in on the 

fun and have a chance to win one of our prizes.

Two Cozy Cards

 

My first card today features this adorable Lawn Fawn bear from Den Sweet Den.  He has read all his books and is now taking a little nap.  Doesn't he look cozy?

I am entering this card at Lawnfawnatics #87,  CAS on Friday #191: Plaid and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Layer it Up.

My second card features these two adorable mice friends from Waffle Flower.  They are enjoying a cozy cup of hot cocoa and just hanging out together.  I couldn't decide what sentiment to use or where to even put a sentiment, so I am leaving it out for now.

I am entering this card at AAA Cards #176: One Corner plus optional twist Cozy and Inspired by #147:  Fall is Sweet.  Aren't these mice sweet, drinking hot cocoa from their mugs, just like some of the mugs in the inspiration photo.
