CardMaker ~ Lawn Fawn Blog Hop

Welcome to another CardMaker Blog Hop!  Today we are teaming up with Lawn Fawn to share some projects featuring their fun products. The stamp sets from Lawn Fawn are so cute and love the 6x6 paper pads!

For this first card, I used the stamp set So Much to Say and Pink Lemonade Petite Paper Pack and made a CAS thank you note. I spritzed the top with Dylusions Lemon Zest and die cut the patterned paper. The sentiment and sun image were stamped with Memento Dandelion and Tangelo ink.
For my second card I used the same stamp set and paired it with the Hearts Lawn Cuts and Daphne's Closet Petite Paper Pack.
Don't you just love the variety of  Basic Grey?  Be sure to hop over to the Lawn Fawn blog as they are having a giveaway of a stamp set and 6x6 Paper Pad!  

Next stop on the hop is Chari Moss...can't wait to see what she created!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Thinking of You

I am a huge chevron fan and when I saw the Card Creations Week: Chevron Challenge knew I had to play along! I used the chevron from Geometric Foundations and used the color challenge from the Play Date Cafe Challenge #174. I used several Memento colors: Teal Zeal, Pear Tart and Lilac Posies and added some twine/a wooden veneer from Studio Calico.  
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Welcome to Day #4 of your March Release
Features!   
Today's featured set is... 
Flower Blocks 1
 
This gorgeous set of large flower block images is a dream to color.  You'll love adorning your Spring cards with these lovely images and sentiments.

Here is my project today:
 I stamped the image twice using Versafine Oynx Black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I have become a HUGE fan of Dylusions sprays and since I am not the best color-er...I chose to spray my ink ;)  I used Dylusions Lemon Zest and Bubblegum Pink spray ink, fussy cut the flower, and paper pieced it.  Then simply added some scoring to the card base and layered on a die cut. Easy peasy...

Check out some of the fabulous samples made by our talented DT in the thumbnails below.
