It's All About the Inside

Hi friends! First of all, thank you SO much for your kind comments on my last post. You all are the best! I'm still having a hard time, but crafting has been a good distraction.

I haven't entered a Lawnscaping challenge in a while, so I decided to create a card for the "Don't Forget the Inside" challenge. This card went through three iterations before turning into this card:


I'm digging the black and white, but here's the inside:


I used two Lawn Fawn sets: How Delightful and Just My Type. The papers are from Basic Grey's Lauderdale collection (which I don't know how I ever lived without). Here's a close-up:


Yes, it's a pop-up. And no, I had never made a pop-up card before. But, I figured it out without having a nervous breakdown. It helped to make a base underneath the patterned paper to add structure and also to cut the patterned paper after I had centered the pop-up. I could have just figured out the measurements in advance, but that would have required more thinking than I'm capable of doing at 11pm. Here's the side view:


Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Tin Can "Hello"

The current Lawnscaping Challenge is to use any kind of critter. Even though I have quite a few Lawn Fawn sets (read: over 10), I only have 1 with a critter. So I knew I had to make a card with the My Silly Valentine bunny. What to do with a bunny? Give it a telephone, of course. And not just a telephone, but a tin can phone. I have no idea where these loony ideas come from. Instead of a card, I made a gift bag (it would have been good for Easter...oh well!). Here's what I came up with:



I used 4 Lawn Fawn sets: My Silly Valentine (bunnies), Partly Cloudy (the hard to discern clouds), Just My Type ("hello"), and Lunar Lights (the tin cans). The bunny on the left is reverse-stamped. I couldn't get a very clear image...any suggestions?

Thanks for looking, and thanks for the continued support! You all are super!
