New Design Team: Lawn Fawn + a GIVEAWAY!!!

Happy Tuesday!

I am thrilled today to announce that I've joined the Lawn Fawn Design Team! I am a huge fan of the stamps and I'm super excited to get to play and create with them on a regular basis. :)

In honor of this new gig I thought I'd share a card + video showcasing FIVE Lawn Fawn stamp sets. I love mixing and matching designs to suit my needs. My oldest son celebrated a birthday here not long ago and needed thank you cards to send out to family and friends. I created several of these cards assembly line style and now they are all ready for him to write a quick note and place in an envelope to mail.

Don't forget to scroll down to the end of this post for a chance to win a Lawn Fawn Stamp Set!

The base of the card is a Hero Arts note card trimmed down on one side to create a 4.25" square.

Then I stamped the background with Lawn Fawn's Teeny Tiny Backdrops using white Colorbox Ink. The Teeny Tiny Backdrops is one of my very favorite Lawn Fawn stamp sets for several reasons:

1. The designs are cute and go with almost anything.
2. The size of the stamped images are tiny and great for all kinds of stamping. I love stamping them in Versamark, embossing with powder and inking over them like I did in THIS sample. Or stamping them in a shade slightly darker than the cardstock for a tone on tone look or stamping them in white like I did here. I really think the hearts or stars would be cute stamped in black with the "open" hearts/stars colored in with markers for a pop of color.

I colored in the raccoon and birthday hat with copics and cut them out. I added googly eyes to my critter. I can't seem to not add googly eyes to cute critters. I think they add such a fun touch.

I stamped the banner with black Memento ink, then colored in each of the letters on the greeting with Memento markers before stamping it onto the banner and cutting it out.

I popped up all the cut out pieces and adhered them to a vellum die cut outlined with a white signo pen.
