Adorable Lawn Fawn Holiday Idea + Have You Seen these New Arrivals?
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Please join me in welcoming special guest Audrey Tokach back to our blog with a super darling Lawn Fawn Christmas card idea! Also! Did you know?! Lawn Fawn just recently released some additional coloring stencils to popular holiday stamp sets as well as gorgeous new selection of twine! Be sure to read on for all the details on how you can recreate this cute card yourself and enjoy!
Hello friends! Audrey here with a joy-filled holiday card to share with you! To create my card, I started off by die cutting the Simple Stripes: Portrait Backdrop Die from both white and Noble Fir card stock. I adhered the stripes in alternating colors onto a white A2 card base. Then, using the Peppy Penguin, Cute Candy Canes, Scripty Joy and Scripty Joy Outline dies, I cut all of the pieces for my scene. I cute the candy canes from white and Chili Pepper card stock.
The Peppy Penguin was cut from white and Black Licorice card stock, and I inked his little belly with some pale yellow ink for some contrast. The holly leaves, from the Cute Candy Canes Die set, were cut from white card stock and inked with two different shades of green ink to give them lots of dimension. And what is a holiday card without some sparkle?! I used the Red Sparkle card stock to cut the bow, holly berries, and the Scripty Joy sentiment. Some elements were adhered flat with a glue pen, and others were popped up with foam tape for added interest.
Because I placed my focal point slightly to the top left of the panel, I added a strip of red glitter card stock to the left side of the card base to draw your eye that way, and finished things off with a scattering of clear sequins and some white gel pen accents. I hope this card added some joy to your day, and if you’re feeling inspired, I’d love for you to recreate this card for someone special this holiday season! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! :)

3 Cute Cards Featuring NEW Tim Holtz Side-Orders!
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! You may have seen last week a new collection of five darling NEW Side-Order die and embossing folder sets to perfectly fit the Sidekick® machine! Today, I’m delighted to share 3 sweet ideas by special guest Cheiron Brandon using the new Love Notes set! Read on and enjoy!
Hello there crafty friends! It’s Cheiron with my monthly post using Tim Holtz products. This month I wanted to create some fun cards with the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Side-Orders. The Sideorders are small but mighty die + embossing folder sets that are sized to fit perfectly through your Sidekick (but you can certainly use them in your regular size die cutting machine too). I also think these little sets would make the perfect holiday gift for a crafty friend.
Today I am going to show you 3 different card ideas using the Love Notes Side-Orders and Texture Fade.
For the first card, I kept it small (3 1/2 x 5), sweet and simple with one of the envelopes cut from Dina Wakley Kraft Cardstock. I inked the edges of the envelope with Frayed Burlap Distress ink, assembled it and added it to my card with some foam tape. Then I added a tiny heart that I covered with glossy accents and a sentiment from the Note Quotes set. This one would be so fun to recreate a batch of!
For my second card, I took a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock and ran it through the embossing folder 3 times repeating the pattern to add texture. I inked the panel with Tattered Rose Distress Ink then sprayed over it with Tattered Rose Distress Spritz for extra shine. I gave it a tiny bit of black splatter as well using Black Soot Distress Paint. I cut the candy heart box out of Cotton Candy cardstock and added a black bow. Then I adhered it to the card along with a sentiment from the Noteworthy stamp set.
For the third card, I played around with some mixed media techniques by filling the background of my card panel with stamps from the Postmark sticker book. I painted a very thin layer of gesso over the eniter panel. Then using Hickory Smoke Distress Archival Ink I inked up the Tidibits stamp by turning the stamp over flat on my table and adding ink to it and stamping on to my panel, pressing down just in some places. I added Opaque Texture Paste through the Sparkle fade stencil and let it dry. Then I sprayed over the panel with Antique Linen Distress Spritz and let that dry. I added a some Ephemera, a Small Talk sticker, and a Paper Doll holding that Love Note along with a painted numeric number. I gave it just the tinest splatter of black and white paint to finish it.
