squeeze the day!

hello!
today I am super excited to share that I have this FUN, summery and interactive card up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
and, like I am prone to do...I have a video to go along with it! yay!
you can watch it here or on my youtube channel!

so cute!
I thought it would be a cute idea to make the giant lemons selling the lemonade to the mice! and when you peek behind the lemonade stand, there's a little mouse getting a peek at another sweet, giant lemon! ha!
I started by stamping the images from Make Lemonade!, You're the Zest and All the Clouds. then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and colored them in! once they were dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out, and then added some details with a white gel pen.
I also splattered some white acrylic ink on top of the clouds - for just a little bit of texture!

I love the Knock, Knock, Who's There? interactive die set, and I thought it would be so fun to have a sneaky little surprise behind the lemonade stand! lol
I started to create the scene by using white cardstock and die cutting out the grass and hill with Grassy Border and Stitched Hillside Borders. then I used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron. I also made a set of the same borders and the same inkblending to go behind the lemonade stand, when you open the 'door!'

then I used a white cardstock base, and folded it in half, as you would a card base. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina. then I flipped the card base over and did a little ink blending where the door would open, as well. I also used the lighter colors to match the pull tab mechanism when you open the door.

I almost forgot to add the sentiment, I was having so much fun making the card!! but I finally heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock and then trimmed it into a banner and popped it up with foam tape.

I hope you like these sweet little mice as much I do!
be sure to check the card out up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and watch the video to follow along on how it came together, too!
enjoy!

cow are ya doing?!

hello!
what a happy day today is - I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog using some of the new products!
and BONUS, I made a video to go along with it!
you can watch it here or on my youtube channel.

so cute, right!?
I think we've all been begging for some highland cow images from Lawn Fawn, and these are even cuter than I could have imagined!
I started my card today NOT by coloring in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers like I usually do, but by coloring in the images with Distress Inks and the coordinating coloring stencils!

below are the colors I used for the images:
cows - Antique Linen, Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo, Lost Shadow
flowers - Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet

I also used Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet for the speech bubble which is from the Summer Friends stamp set.

I always LOVE how fast and easy adding colors to the images with the coloring stencils are! once the images were all colored, I finished the images with some details in a white gel pen.
then I used the coordinating dies to die cut out MOST of the images.
the two remaining images were then die cut out with the Magic Picture Changer dies.

I used some masks that I created for the cows and then did ink blending around the images to create the background!
I used the same Distress Ink colors for the rest of the backgound of the card including the Magic Picture Changer Add-on, Stitched Hillside Borders and Grassy Border dies in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Pine Needles, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade.
I also used Mustard Seed for the pull tab.

once the Magic Picture Changer mechanism was created I attached it to the card by popping it up with foam tape.
the rest of the images were attached directly to the background with glue.
I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice cardstock.

I super love how this card came out, and hopefully it made you smile, too!
be sure to check it out up on the Lawn Fawn blog, too!
enjoy!

who's ready for a reverse rainbow?

hi there!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and it makes me so happy!
also, I made a video for the card!
you can watch it here, or on my youtube channel!

I really love how bright and happy this is!

I started this card by stamping the images and then coloring them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I stamped images from Silly Goose, Silly Goose Rain or Shine and Beary Rainy Day. once the images were dry, I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies. LOVE these cute images!


for the background and interactive pieces I used Fog Carstock and the Cloudy Stencils to add a cloudy look for the background. I ink blended using Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot and Lost Shadow. 
I also die cut out the ground from Cilantro cardstock. then I added some ink blending with Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles. 

I attached the pieces to complete the Over the Rainbow interactive element and then used a piece of bright diagonal rainbow colors from the Really Rainbow Petite Paper Pad as a surprise pop of color and rainbow under the cloudy sky! I call it a reverse rainbow! lol! 

all of the images were attached directly to the card. The sentiment from Silly Goose, Rain or Shine was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then cut into a banner shape. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Really Rainbows onto the pull tab part of the card!


I finished off the card by stamping some falling rain onto the background and then added some whimsical white details.

be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, too!
enjoy!

A Mole Lot of Love Shaker Card

today I'm super excited to share a card I made for Valentine's Day, up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
and bonus: I made a video for this card for you to enjoy too! you can check it out here, or up on my youtube channel!

I'm in love with this card - it's been a hot minute since I've made a shaker card, and it's been a hot minute since I've made a slimline card. today, I combined BOTH with the Large Slimline with Sliders dies! and it was so fun to make!

I started by stamping the images from A Mole Lot of Love, A Mole Lot of Love Add-on, Little Woodland Library and Porcu-pine For You. then I colored the images in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen and once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut the images out!

for the background, I made my own clouds background stencil! I used the Puffy Cloud Borders to die cut out two edges of white cardstock, and use that as a stencil to create the 'mounds' of dirt for the moles to play in! I used Distress Inks in Ground Espresso, Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber to ink blend the 'dirt', and then I splattered like no one's business to mimic the look of sand! I used the same Distress Ink colors, as well as some white acrylic ink.

I used a bunch of sequins in various colors and sizes: golds, browns, white seed beads, gold and brown glitter and so much more! lol! I love how the shaker bits look together for this sandy scene!
I attached all of my images with glue and then used two layers of foam tape to pop up the shaker part.

I finished the card off by heat embossing part of the sentiment onto a banner die cut with the Stitched Sentiment Banners from Black Licorice Cardstock.

this card was so much fun to make, and really love how it came out!
be sure to check it out up on the Lawn Fawn blog and watch the video too, to laugh at (along with!) me!

enjoy!

Lawn Fawn Lots of Hearts Week 2026

hello!
so happy to be popping in with a mid-month card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, as they celebrate loooooooove this week with the Lots of Hearts celebration! so fun!
and bonus! I made a video, so you can create along with me! :)
you can check it out here, or on my youtube channel!

I started by stamping the images from the new Valentine Mice, Critter Conversation Hearts, Critter Conversation Hearts Add-on, Love Poems, Bubbles of Joy and You Autumn Know.
you just know I love coloring the mice and I had a ton of fun coloring these images for this fun valentine's day themed card!
I also added some details with a white gel pen, and then used the coordinating dies to die cut the images out, once everything was dry.

for the background, I used the Brick Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks in Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Tattered Rose. such a pretty color combo, and perfect for this season of love! lol! 

I also splattered all of the ink colors all over the card front too.
I did the same ink blending with the stencil and the flappy mechanism of the die, so the brick would line up when it's pulled out! what fun!

I used the Flippy Flappy die to create the fun interactive element, and to have the mouse pop up with joy! ha! it just cracks me up!
I also die cut the think "LOVE" phrase from the Giant Outlined Love die with Black Licorice Cardstock.

be sure to check the card out on the Lawn Fawn blog, and watch the video, too!

Love You a Mole Lot!

hi there!
today I am excited to share that I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! and that's not all, I also made a video for this card! what fun!
you can check it out here, or on my youtube channel!

I was super excited to use the newest release for this card, and I had a BLAST coloring up these little moles!

see? eeeep! adorable!
I stamped the images from A Mole Lot of Love, Critter Conversation Hearts and Little Woodland Library and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen.
then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

next, I worked on the main part of the card!
I die cut everything out of Vanilla Malt Cardstock with the Platform Pop-up dies. then I did lots of ink blending on top!
I used Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain to ink blend the dirt look. I also spent lots of time splattering! I splattered all of the same ink colors as well as white acrylic ink! LOVE that look!

I also die cut out some of the clouds from the Platform Pop-up Cloud Inserts, and did the same ink blending/splattering to make it look like more dirt piles! what a fun scene!

I couldn't resist adding almost ALL of the moles and worms that I could!
I also heat embossed part of the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock.

bee merry!

hello there!
happy Saturday!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog - and bonus content alert! I made a video!
you can check it out here or on my youtube channel! yahoooo!

I just love making cards with puns!

and I had the fun idea to alter the new Giant Be Merry die set to say: Bee Merry! lol!! so of course it was time to get the bees out and colored!

I stamped and colored the images from Hive Five, You're a Keeper, Furry and Bright, Joy to All and Cheesy Christmas. then I colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once they were dry, I added details with a white gel pen and then die cut *most* of the images with the coordinating dies.
I fussy cut around the reindeer antlers from Cheesy Christmas, and then added them to the bees! so fun and festive!

then I die cut out the Giant Be Merry sentiment two times from white cardstock. I did some ink blending with Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks. then I fussy cut around the 2nd e and added it with glue to the 1st e to create the pun!

I die cut out the Pull 'n Slide Surprise parts of the card from the Gleeful Gradients Petite Paper Pad.
the interactive portion of this die is SO easy to put together! once it was made, I was able to do the really fun part - decorate with my images!

I fussy cut out the top of the tree from Joy to All and added it to the top of the bee hive! then I added the tree on top to mimic a christmas tree! love it so much - I think it's my favorite part of the card! so fun!

then I heat embossed the sentiment from You're a Keeper in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock, it was then die cut with the banner and attached to the front of the card. 

the card base is made from the pink stripes from the Really Rainbow Petite Paper Pad.
be sure to check out this card on the Lawn Fawn blog, too.
hope it made you smile!
enjoy!

rainbow winter carolers!

hello and hope everyone is having a happy weekend!
today I have a rainbow themed christmas card up on the Lawn Fawn blog and guess what? I even made a video! you can check it out here or on my youtube channel!

so sweet and fun, right?!
I stamped and colored the images from Dad Jokes and Caroling Mice with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I used a white gel pen to add details. once everything dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut out the images.

for the background, I had a ton of fun!
I used the new Snowflakes Stencil with a rainbow of Distress Inks: Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Peacock Feathers.
then I kept the stencil in place and squished my embossing ink pad through the stencil to get the colors all covered.
then I removed the stencil and added clear embossing powder and heat set the snowflakes. once it was completely cooled off, I used Distress Inks in Black Soot, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon over the snowflakes to finish ink blending the sky! it's so fun!

I repeated that problem 3 times.
then I used the Give it a Whirl dies to die cut out from the backgrounds. I also die cut out a 2nd small circle from the die set.
I also die cut out the snowy border from white cardstock.

on the larger circle die cut, I added a lot of the images we colored for the scene! and I love that they are revealed when you literally 'give it a whirl!' LOL
I used most of the other images on the bottom of the card. and all of the layers of the card, have used the same emboss resist technique with the snowflakes!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white on top Black Licorice cardstock and then die cut out with the Fancy Wavy Banners.
I sure hope this card made you smile - and if you check out the video, I apologize in advance for the footage I lost, and the struggles I endured! lol! let's just say, I definitely demonstrated some 'stick with it ness' lol.

be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
enjoy!

witching you a happy halloween!

hi there!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! and BONUS, I have a video for it too! you can check it out here or on my youtube channel!

I was so excited to use the new Knock Knock, Who's There? die on my card!
I started by stamping the images from Halloween Mice, You Autumn Know, Happy Howloween, Booyah and Bubbles of Joy. I colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen! then, once the images were dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

next up, it was time to make the background! I used a piece of white cardstock and did LOTS of ink blending. I used Squeezed Lemonade for the moon glow, and then Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Uncharted Mariner and Black Soot for the rest of the night sky.
I used Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Pine Needles for the hills and grass. then I die  cut them out with the Grassy Border and Stitched Hillside Borders.

I knew I wanted to to make the 'door' of the scene in the sky, so I used the door frame in the middle-ish of the card and ran it through my die cutting machine. then once the rest of the mechanism was die cut and added, I began to put the rest of the images together for the card!

some of the images were popped up with foam tape, and some were glued down directly. I combined two brooms from the Booyah set for the hidden mouse to ride!
I finished the card off by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock.

be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and watch the video too!! :)
enjoy!

sending birthday fishes!

hello!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! I'm so excited to share it - it's adorable!
and BONUS - I made a video for it!
you can check it out here, or on my youtube channel!

I am in love with this cute birthday card!
I thought it would be super fun to make a card featuring cats throwing a party for the fish! lol!
I started by stamping the images from Keep on Swimming, Keep on Swimming Add-on, Meow You Doin', Purrfectly Wicked and Party Animal. I colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Once they were dry, I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut them out with their coordinating dies.

Next, I moved on to the Double Slider Surprise part of the card! I die cut out the pocket from the new Gleeful Gradients Paper Pad.
I used some 1/4" inch tape to attach it all together. I also used a piece of old plastic packaging for the slider mechanism to work! So fun!

Then, it was time to decorate the card with all of my little critters!
I glued them down directly to the Double Slider, but I did pop up the fish and banner!

I heat embossed the sentiment with white onto some Black Licorice cardstock.

I used the Lots of Stars Background Stencils and some white embossing paste to add texture to the card front. Then I attached the Double Slider with some foam tape and it's ready to go!

Be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! And if you're in the mood for a tutorial, check out the video!
Enjoy!
