Happy Numbers & Gardeners' Digest Prize Winner!

Have you seen the new HeyDay collection from Studio Calico?  It's such a fun mix of subtle fresh pastels and fun patterns.  I was flipping through my 6x6 paper pad & noticed how well this aqua numbers print coordinated with one of my Studio Calico stamp sets.

This number border is perfect for a birthday card!  You could even highlight the recipients age for a little customization if you wanted to.

The Dear Lizzy pinwheels come layered together with foam dots.  If you need to vary your colors a bit, the layers can be easily separated & switched around.

I'd like to send a big thank you to all of you who visited my blog during the recent Two Peas Gardeners' Digest!  The winner of my prize pack is....

Two Peas Garden Projects: May

I've had so much fun creating cards for Two Peas this month!  Here are the projects that are new to my gallery for May.  (All supplies can be found by following the links under each card.)

1.  Birthday Banner Card

I've noticed that I reach for wood veneer all the time these days!  These banners from Studio Calico are perfect to stamp on or cover in patterned paper.

2.  This Is An Adventure Card

This adorable traveller stole my heart last winter at CHA & I'm so happy to finally get to use this chipboard on some of my projects.  I used a Two Peas exclusive Studio Calico stamp for my sentiment.

3.  Better With Friends Card

This is a mix of Amy Tangerine's Sketchbook collection & Dear Lizzy's Neapolitan line.  (Love that polka dot vellum!) Of course, I had to add a bit of wood veneer.  See - I told you!  I'm obsessed!

4.  Oh Happy Day Card

I love how this card turned out!  It's a perfect anniversary card because it's not too girly to give to my hubs.  And yes - more veneer.  I am also obsessed with the bathroom people icons.  xoxo

5. Smile Card

This one was another fun card to make.  I used a big background stamp from Studio Calico & strips of washi tape.  Oh... and some wood veneer stars.

6.  Thank You {teacher} Card & Video

This is the card I made for a Finally Friday tutorial.  Make sure to watch to see how I made a cool envelope using a glassine bag.

Lawn Fawn Sneak Peek: Sunny Skies

Welcome to day #1 of sneak peeks for Lawn Fawn's new summer releases!  I knew it had been a long time since I posted, but I had no idea it had been almost a month.  Yikes!  This has been a crazy, busy season & I'm just barely keeping my head above water.

For starters, my baby sister got married last weekend!  I was her Matron (hate that word!) of Honor & it was honestly the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen.  Of course, I might be a little partial... but seeing her walk down the isle was just breathtaking.  My sister is 9 years younger than I am & it almost felt like I was watching my own daughter getting married.

But... back to what you're probably coming to hear more about - Lawn Fawn's new Sunny Skies stamp set.

This new set is just adorable! It's filled with kites, clouds, birds, and of course... a smiling sun.  It's just so happy and fun!

This is a card I made using the birds & clouds from the set.  I used a sentiment from You've Got Mail & bent it to fit in the banner. (Click on photos to enlarge.)

Pin It

Btw, the cloud vellum from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection works perfectly with this set!  It makes such a soft, pretty background!

All of the new sets will be revealed on May 31st, so mark your calendars!  Check out the Lawn Fawn Blog for your chance to win this set & all the new release sets.  You'll also find great inspiration from all of the Design Team each day leading up to the reveal.

Lawn Fawn Inspiration: Grand Greetings & Flying By

I've been having some computer woes so I'm a little behind in sharing my projects for Inspiration Week.  So... while I have a few minutes of internet access, I wanted to share a couple of projects I made with two more of the new spring releases.

This set is called Grand Greetings.  As you can see, this is a sentiment set on steroids.  ;)  I didn't have anything like this in my arsenal, so I'm really excited about this set!  The sentiments are ones that I would reach for over & over & I love how perfect they are for both the outside and the inside of your cards.

As you can see, these sentiment stamps can really stand on their own.  I love the bold, handwritten font.

I paired the sentiment with the stork from Plus One.  The crepe ruffles and floral paper are from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection & the pale orange paper is from Doodlebug Designs. I think they were meant for each other.  :)

The other featured stamp set is called Flying By.  I love these trendy paper airplane images.  They're perfect for my family of boys!

For this card, I paper pieced a couple of airplanes & popped them up over a OA Wild Card.  I added a bit of whirly twirly stitching & stamped a sentiment from the Cruising Through Life set.

Make sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog today for more inspiration from the team as well as a chance to win the sets being featured this week.
