3rd Lawnscaping Blog Hop!! :-)

Welcome to the Lawnscaping Blog Hop ! So glad you’re here! You should have come to me by way of Erika M. This month's theme is all about Spring! The hop runs from Friday, April 6th - Sunday, April 8th! Now sit back and relax and be prepared to be inspired. We have lots of designers on this hop so we want to make sure you have time to see them all! You have the whole weekend to hop along.... Make sure to comment on all of the blogs because there are LOTS of prizes to be won! All the details can be found on the Lawnscaping home page .

Here is my card.

To make this card, I used 4 Lawn Fawn Stamp sets. I changed the stamp image of birdbath to a little fountain, and used paper plane TRAIL stamp to make the water coming out from the of the bottom. :-) I used sakura gel pen over the water. I also made a new kind of trees, using a big tree stamp with 3 layers of leaves to 6 layers (and embossed with swiss dots embossing folder), and a chopped trunk/log stamp to make trunks of the trees. Except the watering can & tulips, everything is paper pieced. I did sponging on the background; sky & ground. I used hero arts envelope pattern stamp, to use fiskar's cloud punch (small) and used hero arts bigger cloud stamp, trimmed it, and stamped an old CTMH's sentiment. At last, the fox is smelling the tulips! :-) "Spring" reminds me of many birds, and that's why I made this card :-)

Lawnscaping Blog Hop!! 9.9~9.11.2011

Welcome to the first ever Lawnscaping Blog Hop! So glad you are here! You should have come to me by way of Cathy Fongjoyo. This month's theme is magical Holiday projects! The hop runs from Friday, September 9th ~ Sunday, September 11th! Make sure to comment on all of the blogs because there are LOTS of prizes to be won! All the details can be found on the Lawnscaping home page.
Here are my cards. I made 4 Christmas cards & 1 Hanukkah card! :-)

First Card ~ I used Ornaments and stars from new Ornate Ornaments set. I inked only the outlines of the ornaments so that I could stamp penguins & polar bear from Critters in the Snow set inside of the ornaments. I also stamped the ornaments & snowflakes on transparency, heat embossed them, and layered them over the images on the white cs, to give a GLASS look :-) I used glitters for the snow on the ground for penguins ornaments.

 Second Card ~ I paperpieced all the ornaments, and heat embossed them. I used tiny gems to make more festive on ornaments! :-) All the ornaments & the sentiment were adhered with pop up glue dots to give more dimention, as well as the first card.

Third & Fourth Cards ~ I couldn't decide which colors I would like, and I made them both! lol :-) The ornament, Ribbon & the hanger are separate stamps. I luv this stamp set. There are even 3 different styles of hangers. You can make any way you like :-) I heat embossed the ornaments & the sentiment. This time, I used the sentiment, stamped the first half on top, and the second half on the bottom. "Merry Christmas" is a long one line sentiment stamp. For both cards, I used Nestabilities to cut the center of the front panel. I attached the focal image on the inside panel. For the white pearl center card, I used Viva decor Pearl pen to put pearls on swirls.

For the Hanukkah card ~ I used the white glossy paper, heat embossed with silver embossing powder (used brilliance ink for the stars, without heat embossing), used 2 distress inks, to get the main panel color. I used Ribbon tag nestabilities for the sentiment, used the same distress inks, adhered with dimentional glue dots. I used glitter for the flames.
Thank you very much for participating in this lawnscaping blog hop & stopping by my blog. :-)
