Palm Trees dies
Palm Trees & Hammock dies
Stitched Simple Wavy Border die

Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer birthday card/Reveal Wheel Father's Day card



Instagram:  @amypeach1978

My girls and I made two of the Father's Day cards (on the left)--one for my husband and one for their dad, and a birthday card for their dad because his birthday was a few days after Father's Day.  I pretty much used the same design for the Reveal Wheel Father's Day cards that I used for the card I made for my friend and coworker a couple weeks ago.  Nobody does interactive dies like Lawn Fawn--they are so impressive and don't take too terribly long to make.  The "gravel" in the fish bowl was kind of covering up a mistake, but I ended up liking it a lot--I mounted the wheel just a teensy bit too high, apparently, and the very tip of the brad prongs was showing up in the fish bowl as you turned the wheel.

Supplies for fish bowl card (all by Lawn Fawn, unless otherwise noted):
Keep on Swimming stamps and dies
Reveal Wheel die
Critter Chatter: Pets stamps
RW Keep on Swimming add on
A Birdie Told Me stamps and dies (speech bubble)
Chocolate Bar, Moonstone, Chili Pepper card stock
Walnut, Jet Black, and Peacock inks

Lawn Fawn Hand-Tiled Baby Card


Instagram:  @amypeach1978

I had some time to craft yesterday, so I spent a million years inlaying the "tiles" into the Fancy Lattice Backdrop.  :D  I was originally only going to do it to the top half of the panel, but then decided to finish it up, cut it in half when I was finished, and now I have enough for two cards.  I love the way this card turned out!

Foiled Peas


Instagram:  @amypeach1978

This is another one that I somehow forgot to upload here.  About a month ago, I was playing around with some Transfer Gel and Deco Foil and made a few backgrounds with Simon Says Stamp stencils.  I thought the rainbow foiling was super fun and wanted to highlight it simply, so I pulled out this little pea set from Lawn Fawn.
Supplies:
Lawn Fawn Be Hap-pea stamps and dies
White Embossing Powder
Deco Foil Rainbow Foil
Transfer Gel
Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil
Lawn Fawn Valentine Borders die (heart)

I made this a month ago, originally for the SSS Do it With Dimension challenge.  I didn't have time to upload/edit the card on Flickr right when I made it, so I waited a few days until I had time--then I had some technical difficulties, then Flickr was down for a couple days.  I could have uploaded it for the next challenge (Anything Goes), but time got away from me and I missed that one, too.  Anyway, I figure better late than never.  :)
Supplies (all by Simon Says Stamp, unless otherwise noted):
SSS Frames die set
Stitching Butterflies dies
Tiny Words stamp set
SSS Happy Birthday die
Other:  Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables die, gold embossing powder, Ranger Alcohol Inks, Yupo Paper, foam tape, Vellum
