A Lawn Fawn Cheerful Get Well Challenge

Hi friends! 

I made this adorable little card for my aunt who is bravely fighting cancer and receiving chemo for yet another week this time around.  I am doing my best to write her more now that the summer leaves me with a bit of free time.  I'm linking this one up with the Lawn Fawnatics Get Well Challenge...

This was a super easy shaker card to put together.  I used the Get Well Soon and On the Mend stamps and dies, Into the Woods sequins, Lobster Ink Pad, and a rainbow plaid paper pack that I adore...

These images are pretty easy to color with ShinHan Touch Twin and Copic markers.  I also added some flags using Willow and Sea Glass CS (on sale NOW!!!), along with a spotted purple paper from the Fundamentals Adventure Paper.

I set up my foam tape like this in order to make the shaker feature...The die I used helps me to line up the foam tape on the edges of the heart...

This heart Thin Cuts I used was from Close to My Heart, but is not currently available.  It includes an outline of the heart that I was able to use on the inside sentiment...

Thanks for taking a look!

Lawnscaping Challenges with Critters!

One of my all time favorite brands of acrylic stamps is Lawn Fawn for their hands down adorably cute critters.  Well, the talented DT over at Lawnscaping Challenges is having a CRITTER CHALLENGE!!!

Knock, knock.
(Who's there..)
Ya.
(Ya who?)
I KNOW!!!!  I'm excited toooooo!    ;)

This card was for a special little friend who was in the hospital.  The little nurse bird sure stole my heart...

I love band aids.  They really do make anything feel better!

I also love bending my acrylic stamps into new shapes...

Is a band aid a critter if it has a face?  ;)

 Thanks for taking a peek at my critter card.  I will be back with another!  :)

A Lawn Fawn Shaker Card

Hello my fellow paper addicts lovers! 

I had a special card to make for a special Grandmother this weekend.  Her 91 year old body is suddenly acting its age, and she could use a smile or two.  I decided it was time to leap into the world of shaker cards for this one!

I love finally digging into my acetate packaging stash from all those cricut cartridges I have collected!  ;)  I used the Lawn Fawn Into the Woods Pattern Papers and Sequin Mix from last fall, Get Well Soon stamps and dies, You're a Hoot stamps and dies, and my freebie "sending hugs" sentient.  The jar dies are from PS, and the inks, CS, and Glitter Paper are all Close to My Heart.  

I  think the little leaves in the shaker jar are the perfect addition for this season.  The little band-aids were the perfect size to add!  Yay! 

Paper-piecing is just what the doctor ordered to dress up this little birdie...

I used my thin foam tape for this one, but will try the thicker version next time to get a little more "shake" to my shaker!  ;)   Either way, I am pretty sure Grandma will be smiling soon!
