Lawn Fawn Owl Always Love You

Hello! Late August signals back-to-school, and I’ve been seeing lots of posts about first days of school and sons and daughters headed to college. Our youngest son left for college this time of year five years ago (time really doesn’t fly!). He’s finished with college now, so we don’t have any back-to-schoolers in the house. That doesn’t mean I can’t remember what those transitions felt like, and with that type of transition in mind, I created this card with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.

 

Lawn Fawn Owl Always Love You

The Mom + Me set was released for Mother’s Day; I repurposed the owl with her owlet as a card for a son or daughter (perfect, really, for just about any time!). I kept the colors gender neutral (and sort of outdoorsy).

Haunted Halloween – TE Share Joy Challenge #48

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #48.

I used the sketch to create a CAS Halloween card:

I used the 13 Dead End Drive die (trimming off the bottom section) to create the haunted house and witch. I backed the windows with grey cardstock and the moon with white cardstock (I normally put yellow in for moons, but I wanted to keep the color palette quiet). I used old Halloween patterned paper for the background (I have a ton of patterned paper packs for Halloween!). I used a thin tape from my stash (never before used!) for the detail strips. I stamped the Boo to You set sentiment onto cardstock, which I cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangle Stacklets die (by cutting and then cutting again to shorten the length). The bats are from the just-released Haunted Accessories set.

Lawn Fawn Pacific Northwest Hello

Hello! Today I’m sharing a card crafted with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies. I imagined a scene in the Pacific Northwest while crafting the card.

I watched Kelly Marie’s intro video for the Dad + Me set to get ideas for Copic coloring the bears (I will now watch her coloring for every Lawn Fawn stamp, as it makes the process so much easier!). I used Taylored Expressions Cookie Monster ink for the lake.

I just love that bucket hat! My husband has a similar one (although it’s not teal :-)).

Taylored Expressions Faith-Based Projects

Hello! Today, I’m sharing two faith-based projects created with Taylored Expressions products (supplies are listed below each project).

My first project showcases the Shade Tree Cutting Plate which I crafted with fall colors.

I cut Woodgrain Textured Cardstock Pack with the Shade Tree Cutting Plate and embellished it with leaves cut from the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted (the polka-dot patterns in this pack are perfect for autumn) with the On a Limb – Leaves die. I added a sentiment from the Shade Tree Scripture set stamped with the TE Premium Ink – Chocolate Truffle – Full Pad ink.

For my second project, I created a bookmark combining the Build a Bookmark set with a sentiment from the In the Word set.

I stamped the sun and sentiment from In the Word, cut the cardstock with the bookmark die and embellished with the die-cuts. I used the Mark Your Spot Bookmark die to cut another slightly larger bookmark from the Cookie Monster cardstock.

Boo! – TE Share Joy Challenge #47

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #47.

TE Share Joy Challenge #47

I used the sketch to create a CAS Halloween card (which is more on the cute side than the spooky):

I used Chalkstock for the Little Bits – Black Cat and the crow (raven?) in the Gothic Window Accessories set. It’s such a rich black color.

The Gothic Window assembly is lifted up with foam adhesive. I cut the window background from the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted with one of the Label Stacklets 5 dies.
