Lawn Fawn & Hero Arts Big Thanks Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Lawn Fawn & Hero Arts Big Thanks Blog Hop!

We're celebrating Hero Arts 45 anniversary so Lawn Fawn and Hero Arts joined forces to design and release an adorable new and exclusive stamp set and coordinated dies called Big Thanks.

Below there is a little card I made using it but before talking about that, I want to wish all the Hero Arts crew a very big HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! Hero Arts is a very important company in our industry and I'm happy to see it growing and keeping up inspiring all of us to create during all my years as cardmaker :) And now, here's my card hee hee:

I colored the background with Distress inks, then sprinkled more of the same inks on top plus some golden ink to add some shine. For the base of the card and grass, I used the new Gold Rush cardstock from Lawn Fawn, I love the suble golden sparkle on it!!
For the images, I used my alcohol markers. Look at those hippos and birds, so cute!!

To create the sentiment, I heat embossed it using white embossing powder over a brown cardstock and stamped one of the small sentences using brown ink just bellow the stripe of cardstock.
As a final touch I added some twine, also in dark brown.

Here you can see a full image of this super cute stamp set and coordinating dies:

Lawn Fawn February inspiration week wrap up!

Hello there!!

Are you as excited as I am about the new Lawn Fawn release??

Past week we celebrated the Lawn Fawn February inspiration an release week featuring some of the new product and despite you've probably seen my cards at the Lawn Fawn blog already, here's a little wrap up!

First I have a card featuring the new Oh Gnome set and Mushroom House fun dies. I created a colorful scene using for my coloring Distress inks and Copic markers:

The mushroom border dies is one of my favorites! It adds so much cuteness to the scene! And that openable door of the mushroom house, it's so fun!

My second card features Butterfly Kisses set and Spanish Scripty Sayings stamps. You can imagine how excited I am about this set of sentiments, I have been begging for it for years! LOL! The critters from Butterfly Kisses are also a favorite from this release, they are adorable! And I'm pretty happy about how this card turned out : )

I also used Distress inks for the blended background on each circle and Copic markers for the critters. I sprinkled some white paint on top of the background to add some texture.

My next card features Mini Easter Eggs dies and Celebration Scrity Sentiments.

I also used Spiffy Speckles paper pad on the eggs, I LOVE this paper collection!!

The next one features Eggstra Amazing Easter set and one of the the new Reveal Wheel Add-Ons, the Semi Circle. I just though the bunny has the perfect "throwing an egg" pose so I had to make this. I know, eggs? These ones are magical unbreakable eggs, ok? Haha

The floral patterned paper is from another new paper collection: Spring Fling, and for the sentiment, I used more new  products: Fancy Wavy Banners dies and Wavy Saying stamps.

The next one is a birthday card I made featuring Happea Birthday set. Is this set adorable or what?? Hee hee Love those little peas!

I started by painting a watercolor circle to create a focus point for the peas. As a final touch, I covered them with Glossy Accents.

Finally I have some simple and beautiful mini boxes that I made featuring the Butterfly Treat Box die. These are perfect for your party/wedding favor gifts!

All I had to do is cut out them out of watercolor paper and color them from the bottom to the middle of the box combining two different colors on each box.

Well, and that's all!! I hope you enjoyed my creations and feel inspired! Thank you so much for sticking with me till the end! Have an amazing week, hugs!!
