Hero Arts Partners Blog Hop: Lawn Fawn!

Hi there! I’m back today with another collaboration blog hop to celebrate Hero Arts and their incredible 45 year anniversary in this fabulous crafty industry! You should have arrived here from Elise Constable’s blog, and your next stop is Grace Camou. The folks at Hero Arts have collaborated with Concord and 9th, Gina K, Pinkfresh Studio, and this month, we are so excited to work with the creative ladies at Lawn Fawn! Who doesn’t love some adorable Lawn Fawn-y cuteness? We have lots of inspiration using this new set, called Big Thanks, as well as fantastic prizes, so be sure to read all the way to the end to get all of the details! Let’s get started!

For my project today, I combined the darling little rhino pals in Big Thanks with some of Hero Arts’s most beloved dies and fantastic inks to create a little scene! I began by stamping several of the images from Big Thanks onto some white cardstock using Intensified Black Ink, then used my Copic markers to color the images in and cut them out with the coordinating Frame Cuts.

To “ground” the little scene that I intended to create, I die cut a heart using the Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies from some Periwinkle cardstock. I then blended some Blue Hawaii Reactive Ink along the top portion of the heart die cut to give it a bit of extra dimension. I mounted the heart on an A2 panel of white cardstock using foam tape.

Next, I stamped the greeting from Big Thanks on some strips of white cardstock, which I then used as my baseline for my little scene. I arranged the rhinos and other accoutrements on the card front, adhering them to the blended blue heart “sky.”

Well, that’s all for my project today! Now, for some fun prizes!

There will be 3 prizes, drawn from comments left across the blog hop:
– One winner will receive the stamp set and dies!
– One winner will receive a $25 shopping spree at Lawn Fawn
– One winner will receive a $25 shopping spree at Hero Arts
You have until Sunday, September 29 to leave your comments, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. The more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win, so be sure to comment on all of the stops!

Your next stop on the hop is Grace Camou. Or, you can head back to the Hero Arts blog to see the full list of stops.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a marvelous day!

This paper pack is super cute, with some fabulous masculine colors included. I made a holiday project today, because, well… I’m still in Christmas mode haha! But the colors of this paper pack are super versatile and would fit many different styles. Let’s get on with my project! 

I began by die cutting 2 dark blue plaid panels from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid paper pad using the Honey Bee Stamps Gift Bag Card die, adding a red card stock “tissue paper” die cut in the bag! 

Next, I added some embellishments using some fun dies in a festive primary color scheme. I die cut and heat embossed the greeting from Honey Bee Stamps’s Fa La La stamp and die set. Next, I die cut a string of fabulous old fashioned Christmas light bulbs using the Lawn Fawn String of Lights die set using some pretty primary shades of foil card stock: Ruby Red, Harvest Gold, Imperial Blue, and Emerald Green. 

After I glued all of the die cut elements on the card front, I added some twine to the bag’s holes! How fun would this be to use for a gift card for a special teacher or friend?

The holidays are a-coming!

Good morning! It’s officially September… I am beginning to feel the holiday card crunch. It might be 90* and swelteringly humid outside, but the holiday cards won’t make themselves! I have a sweet, wintry project for you today using some of the adorable new Lawn Fawn release that is now available at Ellen Hutson!

I absolutely adore the new Winter Skies stamp set from the most recent Lawn Fawn release. The little hugging bears made me so happy. I stamped the bears using Copic-friendly black ink on some white card stock, then colored the image using Copic markers- B05, 06, 37; T0, 1, 2, 3, and Colorless Blender.

To create the wintry background, I used the snowflake printed card stock from Really Rainbow Christmas. I die cut the Small Stitched Snowflakes from some silver glitter paper, then adhered them randomly across the card front using liquid adhesive. I fussy cut the bears, then stamped the holiday greeting on a strip of card stock. I adhered the bears and greeting to the snowflake panel with foam adhesive.

I added some strips of glitter paper and bright blue card stock at the top and bottom to help tie all of the colors together.

Well, that’s all for me today! I hope this helps inspire your holiday cardmaking! If you haven’t already, go check out the new release from Lawn Fawn, now available at Ellen Hutson! Thanks for stopping by, and have a marvelous day!
