Welcome back to my blog, thank you for stopping by. Today I am sharing Episode 4 of my Special Delivery Stamp Set of the Month series.
In this Episode I am diving in to Mini Slimline cards. I will talk about sizes, share some die sets for this fun size and make three cards all with the Special Delivery stamp set by Lawn Fawn.
Generally speaking a mini Slimline card is 6" x 6" scored at 3" resulting in a 6" x 3" card. However, much like it's big sister (the Slimline card), Mini Slimline cards can differ slightly in size. One that I am sharing today is 5-3/4" x 3-1/8", based on Mini Slimline dies from Kat Scrappiness.
Let's take a look at each card and below the card I will list the Mini Slimline dies used for that card.
This mini slimline card is an interactive card and uses the Waving Pull Tab die set, so when you pull the tab up the birds wings move. It is so fun to make this owl look like she is flying.
Look at that baby owl in the box! I love this Box add on stamp and die set that goes with Special Delivery. There are so many fun things you could put in that box!
I couldn't decide is the birdhouse on this card belongs to these owls, or is it the birdie post office or is it a birdhouse shaped mailbox? What do you think?
This shaker card is filled with clay shaker elements, called Love Notes from the Crafty Supplies by CC Etsy Shop. Aren't they just darling!!!
The Mini Slimline Dies I used on this Card are the Mini Slimline Die set by Trinity Stamps.
Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share my new love of all things Mini Slimline and this fun stamp set, Special Delivery. Be sure to tune in next Tuesday night for Episode One of my February Stamp Set of the Month series. I will be creating with stamps from a company who's products I have never used before.

It's a darling new stamp set with Ferris Wheel image and little critters to ride in it.
This week I am pairing it with the Furever Friends stamp set, which was a free with purchase stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
This card is a full panel shaker with my scene overlaying it. This allows the shaker elements to be hidden away. It's pretty cool. You can see this card come together in the video below. If you can not see this video on your screen, you can also watch it HERE.

What a great hop I have for you today. It is the Lawn Fawn Fans Valentines YouTube Hop, we usually do a winter hop but this go around decided to focus that on Valentines. Each creations in this hop is so very cute, I know you are going to love this one.
For my Valentine card I used the new So Dam Much set along with images from the Wood You Be Mine stamp set. I had been wanting to pair that with the Wood Slice Die set from Sizzix and finally got to do that for this card.
Do you catch the Tiny Gift Box in this picture? I altered the Skunk Add-On die set to create a BEAVER! You can see both of these projects come together in the video below. If you can not see the video up on your screen, click to watch it HERE.
I love all things woodland, so I have created a few other scene like this one for these beavers, you can see that video HERE.
I find there are a lot of die sets from Lawn Fawn that I pull out repeatedly for creating scene. On this card I used the Ocean Borders, Mushroom Hill, and Stitched Mountain borders. And with the Shadow Box Mountain Add-On die set I was able to create this mountain pond scene. It's where two beavers decided to build their houses, met and fell in love.
Can we talk about the Wood Slice die set, it is AMAZING!!!! Easy to use and comes with the entire alphabet so you can create whatever saying you want on your wood slice. Plus there is also a circle slice in the set. I just had to pair it with the beavers as soon as I saw it!!!
Speaking of EASY. Turning the Skunk into a Beaver is as easy as 1,2, 3. One, use brown cardstock. Two, add teeth. Three, turn the tail upside down and drawn crisscrossing lines. What do you think?
If you like these projects I have another video featuring the Wood You Be Mine set, making gift box with matching note cards. Watch that HERE.
As I mentioned, this is all part of the Lawn Fawn Fans YouTube hop. The Lawn Fawn Fans are crafty friends of mine who also love Lawn Fawn. We come together seasonally to share some of our favorite products with you. AND, we like to do a GIVEAWAY TOO. To enter the drawing jump over to YouTube, watch and comment on each video in the hop.

If you are new to my blog or YouTube channel you might not know about Stamp Set of the Month. It is a monthly series I do on my YouTube Channel. Each month I pick a stamp set that I love and share new ideas with it in weekly episodes on YouTube. I have taken a very long break from doing this and have missed it so it was time to bring it back! This week is EPISODE ONE! Each Thursday night at 7pm MST, you will find a new episode! To kick things off I am featuring the Wood You Be Mine stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
You can watch the Episode right here https://youtu.be/iaiIFMcPqDc
With this set I am making a Gift Box and three note card to fit inside.
This is little box is made using the Gift Box die set from Lawn Fawn, I love all the die pieces it has with it to dress it up. And it perfectly fits cards that are 4 Bar size; 3-1/2" x 5".
I made 3 of these cards using images from my stamp set of the month, Wood You Be Mine.
Here is a close up look at each of the cards.
I love trying to use al of the images in a set when I make a project like this and there are some super cute images in this set.
Below you will find all the supplies I used to make this project.
And stay tuned, next Thursday night I will be back with more ideas for you with this stamp set on my YouTube channel at 7pm MST.
It's all about creating a project where the sentiment is the main focus. For my sentiment I chose the Giant Let It Snow Die cut.
You can see the two projects I made in the video below. If you can not see the video on your screen, you can watch it here.
Now let's take a look at the card.
I had so much fun making the snowy background for this card, using Distress Oxide Ink, Water, Distress Mica Spray and Acrylic Paint!
To help my sentiment be the STAR of the show I die cut it from white glitter paper and topped it off with some glaze.
I also dressed it up with some ear muff and mittens. These are from the Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add On die set. The mittens look like they are just waiting for snow to fall to the ground.
This year I went BIGGER! And added new elements too.
Usually this ornament is made with 6" strips of patterned paper. This year I used 8" strips and I LOVE the larger size so much.
The added elements are the mittens that I added to each point of this snowflake. These are very easy to make and I show you how in the video. You are going to be diving into your hoarded stash of patterned paper when you see how easy these are to make and creating a bunch of them! You can also watch the original tutorial on how to make these right HERE.
Here are the fun things I did to make this sentiment the star of my star ornament...
First I die cut the sentiment from a piece of card stock that I used to pick up excess Mica Spray from the card above. Then I added a bit of glitter paper "snow" to the bottom. The penguin as the O is my favorite part! He's so cute!
Just loving how these turned out and that a challenge like this gives me so much added mojo!
Below are all the supplies I used to make these projects.
Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my creations with you. I hope you leave feeling inspired to create and that I'll see you back here again soon for more creative inspiration.
Hello my stamping friends. Today is a fun day because a few designers from the Lawn Fawn Fans team have come together for a mini YouTube hop sharing idea with the recently released Hive Five Kit. Lawn Fawn released this kit at the end of June and it was available while supplies last. It has since sold out. So that means many a stamper was able to get this fun kit. So, the team at Lawn Fawn Fans wanted to give you some fun ideas using this kit.
Here's a look at the kit contents.
These are exclusive products to the kit and can not, at this time, be purchased separately.
Take a look at the card I made using this kit in the video below. I had so much fun making this card and can not wait to GIVE it away to one of you! Watch the video for all the details. If you can not see the video up on your screen you can watch it on my YouTube channel.
I used the stencil in the kit to make my rainbow honeycomb background. I just LOVE how that turned out.
All the stamped images on this card are from the HIVE FIVE stamp set. These bees are so super cute!
And because I am so PUNNY, I used my Oliver's Stitched ABC's to make a custom sentiment.
I added a sub sentiment, embossing it in white on the grassy border.
And because my card has "heart" in the sentiment I added some Jelly Hearts from Trinity Stamps all over the card in every rainbow color. I'll have those linked for you below so you can check them out.
I did not forget about the inside of the card, I love that slimline cards leave you enough room for something cute and a personalized greeting as well.
Now that you have seen my creation, here are the other three stops on the hop for you to check out too.
And below you will find all the supplies I used to make this card, minus the Hive Five Kit, as it was a limited edition item that was available while supplies last.

This hop takes place over on YouTube with my fellow Lawn Fawn Fans. This seasons hop is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn. Thank you to Lawn Fawn for always bringing us darling, fun and useful product. As a sponsor Lawn Fawn has generously donated a $25 gift card to their shop that one of our hoppers will win! Watch the video for details on that and how to enter.
My hop projects feature one of my favorite die sets from this new release, Strawberry Patch.
I just LOVE the berries in different sizes and the leafy branch, which I used to create my background on my A7 card. You can see this card and shaker book mark come together in the video below. You can click over to my YouTube channel to watch and hop along as well.
I went for a bit of a farm stand feel for this card, easy to do with a dusting of Vintage Photo Distress ink. And of course a splatte
r of it as well. To go along with the farm stand feel I added a bit of jute twine to my fruit basket.
I loved the little clay strawberry embellishments around my sentiment so much I wanted to make a shaker. So, I thought, how about a book mark made using my Fuse tool to make it a shaker.
That gingham paper makes me so very happy, it's the perfect pairing with these die cut strawberries. If you are wondering about the little flower, I die cut that using the Magic Iris Birdhouse add on die set.
What new fruits do you think Lawn Fawn should come out with to put in this fruit basket? Cherries? Apples? Avacado? Kiwi? Watermelon? Those are ones I'd love, maybe even Bananas!
For now I am DELIGHTED with my Strawberry Patch die set.

Hey there stamping friends. I am thrilled to help my friend Jamie Peters celebrate her YouTube channel, Not 2 Shabby, reached 10K subscribers. To celebrate 10 designers have come together for a YouTube hop! And there are 10 sponsor, each designer will be showcasing one of these sponsors. And each sponsor has a gift card to giveaway!!! Tons of fun right here today!
I will be showcasing Lawn Fawn and making some easter themed projects.
Now let's take a look at the projects that I made using Lawn Fawn products for this hop.
The Build-a-Basket die set is the perfect Easter die set that you can use with any other easter stamps you might have. It is one of those timeless die sets that I will hold on to and use for years to come. With this die set I made a mini slimline card and a gift tag with a pull out piece.
This basket fits perfectly on a mini slimline card! I love that the basket can be the star of the show on this size card. If you are not familiar with a mini slimline card they are 3" x 6", super easy to make using a 6" x 6" piece of card stock and just fold it in half.
For my background I used Watercolor Wishes patterned paper. I added a bit of sparkle to the blue background using the Lots of Hearts stencil and Fairy Dust Stencil Paste. It makes for a nice subtle something in the background.
The sentiment on this card is from a Not 2 Shabby stamp set, Easter Wishes, I fit perfectly on the grass and is a great style for this card. I love it embossed with white, it gives it such a fun spring feel.
I played with different colors of card stock to create my two toned pieces. I love using a light and a dark card stock of the same color family for the eggs, basket and bunny.
Now let's take a look at the tag. I know it is a bit big for this stuffy peep bunny, but it is what I had. But this tag would fit nicely on a bigger stuffy, maybe one that would not fit in an easter basket. Or an a gift for a person that might not get an easter basket anymore. But wait, there is more to this tag, when you pull on on the eggs.....
This pull out is 1-7/8" x 1-3/4" and it just the right size for a little message or for your "To and From". Make sure to watch the video to see how this goes together.
If you'd like more inspiration with this die set be sure to check out this video, where I make a banner and place card with it.
If you are not familiar with Not 2 Shabby, they carry their own line of stamps, dies, paper, stencils and digitals stamps. AND, you can find products from your favorite stamp companies as well. I order my Lawn Fawn products from the Not 2 Shabby shop most of the time, it's because I love supporting not only one of my favorite product lines but also a small business run by a person I know. And Jamie is so great with customer service and getting orders out quickly.
If you want to shop the Not 2 Shabby shop you can use my discount code N2S10 to get 10% off your order at check out (some new or sale items may not apply).

I have another FUN video for you today! These cards were made using the backgrounds I made last week with Arteza's Iridescent Acrylic Paints. In that video, I shared with your 10 ways to use these acrylic paints for card making. Not only I am using these super shiny backgrounds for my cards, I am bringing in the Black and White Glitter Card stock from Arteza for another shiny fun accent.
The background on this card is the Fancy Black Iridescent Acrylic Paint stenciled onto black card stock. I LOVE IT!
I also used black and white glitter card stock on this card. The black glitter is on the right hand side of the card. I colored the white glitter paper with Copic Markers to be two toned. I love that the white glitter paper can be custom colored!
CARD THREE
I hand painted this background with three different colors of the Iridescent Acrylic paint. I love doing this so much, I am sure it will make something like it again.
Here is another tone on tone background with the Pretty Pink Iridescent Acrylic paint, that looks white on white paper, until you turn it in the light and then you get a glimpse of the pink.
I put black glitter card stock behind the heart cut out, it's the perfect back drop for this love struck skunk.
CARD FIVE
This background was painted on white card stock to create a rainbow with several of the Iridescent Acrylic paints.
All of the black hearts on this card are black glitter paper. The smaller hearts are covered with glaze to create a DIY embellishment.
CARD SIX
This background was created on my gel press. I loved using this panel to make a slimline card.
I used black glitter paper as the layer behind my card front and white glitter paper as the floor that my little scene is on. I love using glitter paper in place of traditional card stock to add a special element to a card.
CARD SEVEN
Here's another card using a Gel Press background. This print was made on black paper, I just love how the Iridescent Acrylic paint look on black card stock.
I also colored some white glitter card stock for this card, the strip across the bottom of this card was tinted using the Electric Plum Iridescent paint.
CARD EIGHT
This card has a watercolored background that I made by watering down the Iridescent Acrylic paints. I also painted the wooden snowflakes with the same paints. And splattered the blue hill as well.
I have to say, I am very impressed with the Glitter card stock by Arteza! It is heavy weight. The glitter does not rub off. I cuts easily. And, it has great shine!
Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share these card with you. I wish the pictures could do this cards just a bit of justice as to the amount of shine and sparkle. But if you want to add these elements to your card making the Iridescent Acrylic Paints and Glitter Card Stock from Arteza are a good what to do just that.

You can start the hop right here on my video. I have made a Cerealsly cute card with a Lip Balm in it!!!
I used the new Cerealsly Awesome stamp set from Lawn Fawn's latest release. I just love a tiny stamp set. AND, I happen to love cereal cards with a little cereal lip balm with it. Would you be surprised to know that this is not the first cereal with chapstick card I have made??? It's true and yes, a little weird. BUT, so much fun!!!
I used some fun products from My Favorite things to add this cereal inspired lip balm to my card. There are pouches, dies, and stamps. I have them linked for you below incase adding crazy flavored lip balm to your projects also makes you giddy!
And when you open up this card you can still see the lip balm and the puns continue.
The base of the card measures 11" x 9-3/4", scored at 5-1/2". The red card front panel is 4" x 4".
And the rip strip on the back allows you to rip open a spot on the card to retrieve the lip balm.
The card front itself has Lots of Hearts stenciled on it with Pearl Paste. What a fun stencil set. And the pearl paste should come with a do not eat warning, it is soooo yummy looking!!!

Hello again my crafty friends. Today I am sharing the final episode in my "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series. For this episode I am playing with the Magic Iris again, and the Camera Add on. And creating a picture perfect Christmas scene. To go with my card, a coordinating flocked ornament.
This card has so many fun elements on it, but the magic iris has to be the coolest.
I love that is opens as a camera would and reveals another part of the scene. A yummy Christmas village of gingerbread!
The thing I had the most fun with on this card is making the background with the Snowflake Background stencil set and the White Stencil Paste. That white is so white and not a spec of red showed through. I LOVE it!
One of my favorite things to do on a card is to make custom sentiments. With the help of Oliver's Stitched ABCs and the Yeti or Not stamp set I was able to create the " SMILE it's Christmas" sentiment that I wanted for this card.
This card is 6"x 6" and is such a fun size for Christmas and with this coordinating ornament, you have gift too.
What I love about this project was adding the flocking. The flock is Cotton Tail with glitter in it! All I did to apply the flock is dab on some glue with a paint brush and then sprinkled the flock on. Just treat it like glitter and the result is so very beautiful and Christmasy!
To dress up all the cute stamped images I added some glaze all over and sprinkled on some chunky glitter. I loved this so much I went back to the card and added the same thing to the letters in SMILE.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I had a blast making these and hope that you found a bit of inspiration here today.
Below are all the supplies I used to make these two projects. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I am back with my 4th Episode in the "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series! Today's card was inspired by two of my favorite cards from last year! One had a woodland kitchen of mice, the other has removable snow globe shaker ornaments. SO, I am making an amazing holiday kitchen for my mice, but this time in a slimline shadow box card. AND, to decorate the out side of that shadow box, I have two removable snow globe shaker ornaments!
Here you can see all the fun the mice are having in the kitchen, baking up all kinds of holiday treats.
You can watch this card come together in this video.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also view it here.
You can see here that I really went to town, stamping, coloring and die cutting out images for this card. I really wanted to dress up the frame of this card with al kinds of goodies.
And on the inside I love to have a lot to look at inside my shadow box cards. And these mice have been busy this season with gingerbread houses, cookies, cakes, and lots more. They are hoping to sell enough of their homemade goods so they can open up their own shop, Very Mice Treats!
I could not let the fun end there. So I created two mini snow globe shaker ornaments that attach to the sides of the shadow box with hidden magnets from Inky Stamper .
This Snow Globe Scenes stamp set is such a fun one. It has scenes you can put in these globes or you can create your own like I have done here. I loved having little scenes that go with my card in these ornaments. They very easily can be removed and because the magnet is hidden, you can not see a magnet either on the card or on the ornament.
If you missed an episode in this "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series I have listed and linked the first three episodes for you below.
Below you will find all the supplies I used to make today's card and ornaments. If you have any questions about these projects please let me know in the comments below. And I just love hearing from you.

Good Morning my stamping friends! Today I am sharing my card for the "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series. This is episode 3! This card is a North Pole inspired scene and it is a shaker, cause they are my fave card to make!
This scene speaks Christmas to me.
The Ho-Ho-Holidays is one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets, I just love a cute Santa. I also brought in the Holiday Helpers stamp set as well as the Holiday Village set. It's Christmas Eve and Santa is getting ready for his big night. Ms. Claus knows the only thing Santa eats on this day is milk and cookies, but she knows how to take care of her man, she's snuck in some flax and chia seeds in those cookies. And a little collagen protein powder in the milk goes undetected too! The little elf is rounding up Rudolph with his favorite treat. Now it's time to load up the sleigh.
You can watch the making of this card in the video below.
I LOVE the sound they make inside the card. And they look so wintery like icy snow.
You can see the shaker element better in this picture, aren't they so pretty. And you can get a good look at the images here as well. I used COPIC Markers to color all my images, you can see how in the video, I keep my coloring pretty simple. But I love coloring and enjoy it so much.
How about the polka dot apron? I would totally wear that!
Two very awesome die sets helped to bring this card to life. In the background I used the new Stitched Snowflake backdrop die. I can not even tell you how much I love having stitched snowflake cut into my paper, it makes me giddy! And my shaker frame is from the Forest Backdrop die set. Which has cute trees in the front. You can't see them too much, because Santa has so many things to put in the sleigh this year, but I did cut the top layer of the trees from light green glitter paper.
This card just makes me happy! Thank you so much for letting me share it with you! All the supplies I used are listed for you below.

YAY! It is time for Episode Two of my "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series. This week I am featuring the Eat, Sleep, and Be Merry stamp set from Stamptember. This set was designed by Lawn Fawn for Simon Says Stamp for their big annual event in September. Meaning that is is a limited time offer and when they are gone they are gone. So, that being said, this set did sell out FAST. So fast, I was not able to get the coordinating die set, only the stamp set. So, today I am going to show you how I used my Silhouette Cameo and the PixScan mat to cut out stamped images when I don't have a die set. That also means that you are not able to purchase the stamp set I am using today at Simon Says Stamp. I bet a lot of you reading this might already have this stamp set!
This card started with the All Spruced Up Slimline frame stamp. This stamp made for the perfect scene for these Christmas Sloths. Behind them is a nigh sky created with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and a lot of snowy splatter.
I used COPIC Markers to color in my images. I found these images be very easy to color. Using a white gel pen for highlights after coloring helps bring the images to life.
I just love this sloth in the stocking so much! I used him again on my tag.
If you look closely at this card you can not only see splatters of snow but some patches of 3D snow, which was done using Stencil Paste in Pearl. It makes great snow. AND I am giving a jar of it away this week! To enter the giveaway you just need to leave a comment on the video for this post over on YouTube.
Now let's take a look at the coordinating tag.
This snowflake die is soooooo super cute, I mean, just DARLING. I thought it would make a great gift tag that doubles as an ornament.
This is a shaker tag filled with white sand. It makes for the perfect snow. I found it at the craft store where they were selling items to make fairy houses.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back again next week with another episode in the "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series. Watch for it on Tuesday.
And if you missed episode one, using Tiny Winter People in a Magic Iris card, you can watch it right here.

Hello my stamping friends. This month, for my Stamp Set of the Month series, I am actually focusing on a stamp company instead of one stamp set. Each week in November I will be bringing you a Christmas video featuring Lawn Fawn products.
This week I am sharing a Magic Iris Snowglobe card and two Tiny Gift Boxes both featuring the Tiny Winter Friends stamp set.
I love this stamp set, Tiny Winter friends even more than I thought I would!
You can see this card and these Tiny Gift Box Ornaments come to life in the video below.
Here is a close up look at the Magic Iris Snowglobe card.
I brought in a few other stamp sets to go with my Tiny Winter Friends, like Tiny Christmas for the Santa and Winter village for the house.
I colored up the girls to look like my girls inside the snow globe.
Now let's check out the Tiny Gift Boxes that I added a mini scene of Tiny Friends to.
Look how darling these little friends are on the front of this box! I made these for my girls and they will hang in the tree for them to get a little gift in on Christmas.
I made this darling girl to look like my daughter Hannah. That candy cane is the smallest candy cane in all the land, incase you were wondering! And I love it! You can see on the side of the box I added the initial "H" from Oliver's Stitched ABC's to personalize the box even more.
I also added a bow to the top as well as twine so it can hang from the tree. And on the side, Merry Christmas from the Say What Holiday Critters stamp set that was a free gift with purchase from Lawn Fawn.
I also love the idea of using these boxes as advent boxes on a tiny tree! Add numbers to the side of them instead of initials!
If you'd like a chance to win the Tiny Winter Friends stamp set, head over to my YouTube channel and leave a comment on this video. I will pick a winner at random and announce them on next week's episode.
Below you will find all the products I used listed and linked for you. See you soon with more crafty inspiration!

Now let's take a close up look at each of the cards.
NOTE: Before creating my cards I stamped out all the image in the Penguin Party stamp set, colored them and die cut them out to be ready for card making. And while I had the stamps on my MISTI, I stamped them out several times so I could add as many images as I wanted and I would have some ready to go for future use if I had left overs.
Here are all the Copic Markers I used to color my images:
Penguins: N8, N6, N4
Beak and Flippers: Y15, Y17
Red Things: R46, R29, R17
Teal: BG32, BG11
Shading for White areas: N2, N0
White Gelly Roll Pen size 08 for accents
CARD ONE
Card Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"
Card Front: 5-1/4" x 4"
For Snowflake: 4" x 4"
Window Sheet (2): 3" x 3"
1. Stencil the Snowflake background stencils and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
2. Trace the opening of the die cut Magic Iris Snowflake onto the card front where you want the shaker panel to be.
3. Die cut around this traced circle with a circle die about the same size or slightly bigger. Approximate size of the circle is 1-3/4".
4. Adhere one of the window sheets to the back of the opening.
5. Adhere the snowflake to the front of the card, right around the circle.
6. Stamp your sentiment before assembling your shaker.
7. Add foam tape to the back of the card front all around your window, making sure the ends of the foam tape touch so that none of your shaker elements can escape. Add some extra foam tape to the top and bottom of this panel as well so the card front will be sturdy on the card base.
8. Add in your shaker elements, I used micro beads and seed beads. Remove the backing off the foam tape that is around the window. Adhere your second window sheet here.
9. Remove the rest of the backing from the foam tape and add glue to the foam tape that is covered by the window sheet, assuring a good hold when you now add this panel to the card base.
10. Add your stamped images to the center of the shaker.
11. Embellish with some rhinestones or bling of your choice.
CARD TWO
Card Base: 8-3/4" x 7-1/2", scored at 3-3/4"
Card Front: 8-1/2" x 3-1/2", die cut using the Large Slimline Die set from Lawn Fawn
Let it Snow Sentiment: 4" x 4" of glitter paper
Hill: 4" x 1-1/2" of glitter paper
Scrap of white card stock to stamp talk bubble
1. Die cut the Card Front panel from white card stock using the Large Slimline Die form the Large Slimline with Sliders die set from Lawn Fawn. This gives the paper a stitched edge. Or you can just cut a piece of white card stock to 8-1/2" x 3-1/2".
2. While this die is out die cut a pice of glitter card stock to create a hill, I used a scrap that was about 4" x 1-1/2", only cutting the bottom and sides. I the die cut the top with one of the Simple Stitched Borders, to create the hill to build my scene on. Set this aside.
3. Back to the card front panel, ink the the bottom 1/4 of the panel withe Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
4. Ink the top 3/4 of the panel with Black Soot Distess Oxide ink, blending it lightly with the Salvaged Patina.
5. Spritz the panel with water from a spray bottle. Blot up the excess water after a minute with paper towel or cloth. Next splatter on some Liquid Stardust using a paint brush. Lastly, splatter on some white acrylic paint that has been thinned out with a bit of water. Set this aside to dry.
6. If you want your die cut "Let it Snow" to be more sturdy and stand out off the card a bit back it with one or two additional die cuts of this image from white card stock.
7. Stamp the talk bubble in black in on white card stock and the "warm wishes" in Lobster ink in the center and cut this out. Both images are from a free with purchase set from Lawn Fawn called "Say What? Holiday Critters". If you do not have this shop your stash and find something that will work for you.
8. When the background panel is dry adhere the sentiment, hill and images. I popped up my igloo, penguin and talk bubble with foam squares and glued the other pieces.
9. Adhere the card front to the card base.
10. Add some Winter White gems in and around the scene for accent to finish off this card.
CARD THREE
Card Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 3-3/4"
Card Front: 5-1/2" x 4-1/4"
Hills: 5-1/2" x 3-1/2"
Sentiment Circle: 1-3/4" (or center from circle die left over from die cutting the snowflake for Card One
1. Die cut card front from white card stock using the Stitched Snowflake backdrop.
2. Die cut two hills using a scrap of white paper and the Simple Stitched Border die set. If you do not own this die set, hand cutting some hills is really easy to do.
3. Add some Salvaged Patina ink the the center of the card for a highlight. And add a bit of this ink to the tops of the hills.
4. Splatter the background and hills with Liquid Stardust.
5. Stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Magic Holiday Message stamp set on a circle that is about 1-3/4" with VersaFine Onyx Black or VersaMark ink and emboss with black embossing powder.
6. Also from the Merry Holiday Message set, stamp the holly image twice, color and die cut.
7. Adhere the hills to the bottom of the card front, layering one behind the other.
8. Stamp "North Pole" from the Penguin Party stamp set on the sign with the stripes in black ink. Glue this to the back or top hill on the card.
9. Glue the string of lights to the igloo and glue this to the card, as well as the puff of smoke so it looks like it came out of the chimney.
10. Pop up the Penguins on the front hill. The penguin on the left is holding a present and the baby penguin on the right is holding a fish for a gift exchange.
11. Pop up the sentiment on the top of the card, in the center. Glue a holly image to each corner on the top of the card.
12. Adhere the card front to the card base.

Welcome back my stamping friend! Today is a fun day, it is finally the Fall Hop with the Lawn Fawn Fans! Lawn Fawn Fans is a group of crafty YouTubers who love Lawn Fawn products and have come together to celebrate that with a hop each season. This is the 2021 Fall Hop! It is a YouTube Hop and I have the entire hop line up for you below. Lawn Fawn is sponsoring our hop and has generously given a $25 shopping spree to be raffled off to one of you! To enter just hop along with us, leaving comments at each stop on the hop. The winner will be announced on the community page of my YouTube channel on 10/23.
Now let's get into the what I have created for this hop.
For my fall scene I just had to play with the new Pumpkin House die set. I have been wanting a pumpkin house since the mushroom and acorn houses came out. So, I am pretty sure Lawn Fawn heard my wish and made it come true, hehehe.
One year at the Farmstead, a fun filled pumpkin patch that my kids go to every year, I got a blue pumpkin. It was the cutest thing and it inspired the pumpkin house for my little nut collecting squirrels.
Watch this card come together and see how I added lights to it in this video:
To make the pumpkin house light up I used EZ Lights from Pear Blossom Press. If you have ever wanted to make a light up card but are too scared of doing all the electrical work, these are the light for you, be sure to check out the video to see how truly easy they are to add to a card.
I added the squirrels to my scene, collecting nuts for the winter because I just adore squirrels and they worked so hard making the perfect winter home in this adorable pumpkin.
This pumpkin even has a few warts to make it even more cute. The beautiful warts are Mirrored Mint Baubles from Trinity Stamps.
I love how this card turned out with a blue pumpkin! If you like the Pumpkin House die set too, two of the other makers in this hop used it as well, so you will have even more inspiration with it in this hop! Below is the entire hop list for your convenience and at each stop on the hop the next video will be linked for you.
I hope you will visit each maker on this hop as they are all very talented and such dear people.
A big THANK YOU to Lawn Fawn for their support of our hope and generosity!
Linked below you will find all the supplies I used to make todays card.

Hello my stamping friends! I am back with an all new Stamp Set of the Month series!!! After taking a month off for summer, I am happy to be back doing my favorite videos for you all! This month I am featuring the S'more the Merrier stamp set by Lawn Fawn. I love all things camping. I may have mentioned that before. We are a camping family and when I say camping I mean RVing. But we love to go to the mountains and enjoy the trees, creeks, rivers, lakes, wildlife and also sleep in a bed and have a bathroom. It's the best of both worlds really.
Also, this stamp set is themed around S'mores, which is another family favorite as my hubby has been building a fire pit in our backyard. It is a bit of a second seating area with a lot of stone work. He's worked sooo hard on it. I'll share pics of that soon, it is not quite done just yet. So, we love to sit out back and make s'mores whenever the mood strikes us. And when the temps are under 100! It's been a hot summer here in Idaho.
With all the being said, you can see where the inspiration to make campfire themed cards comes from. So, let's jump right into the video and take a look at these two cards being made.
If you can not see this video up on the screen, you can also view it right here.
Now let's take a look at each of these cards.
For the cards this week I was trying to stay away from making a scene, you all know how much I love to make a scene! hehehehe. Most of the cards I make using Lawn Fawn end up being a scene building card. I thought I'd try to focus on the Giant Happy Birthday to you die cut and just add a few things from the S'more the Merrier stamp set for a bit of accent to bring in the fire and s'more element.
I also wanted the Giant Happy Birthday to You die cut to have a glow from the fire and so I die cut it from an ink blended panel.
Now, let's chat about the plaid background. The Plaid Stencil set from Lawn Fawn is so much fun! For this background I used four inks from Altenew; Hazelnut, Autumn Blaze, Crimson and Jet Black. I felt the Jet Black gave it a bit of a Halloween feel, so to soften that look I added white stitched lines over the black with a White Gelly Roll pen. I love the look so much with the plaid, I am sure I'll do that again.
Now let's take a look at the second card.
For this card I wanted to take another shot at the plaid background. So I used a different ink, in place of the Jet Black, and that is Milk Chocolate. Perfect for a S'mores themed card! And this time I used white paper, where the first background was done on Kraft paper.
For my Giant Happy Birthday To You, I colored the top of the letters to look like dripping chocolate. The bottom of the sentiment I colored to look like coated marshmallow. My hubby can roast the perfect marshmallow. They are so puffy and so golden brown and the inside is just melty. Those perfectly toasted mallows are what inspired my coloring.
Then there is the Smiley S'more, what a fun die! I really want to make more of the fun little S'more guy. He would make a super cute tag!
I added a few stamped images form the S'more the Merrier stamp set around him as well as a custom sentiment, "& Many S'more". The "Many" is from the Happy Harvest stamp set.
And now for the part where you get to play along!
----------> Have you played with the S'more the Merrier stamp set? Do you have a card made with it that you would like to share and have featured on an upcoming video?

Now let's take a look at both of the cards I made for this hop.
This cute little squirrel is remember how nice it is to hug and hang out with friends.
I used the new Magic Iris Thought Bubble add on for my shaker. And I just had to use the new Plaid Stencil set for my background, that was so much fun to make!
On the inside of this card I added the Sending Big Hugs die cut, for a fun surprise.
Then I used the piece I die cut this from the make the second shaker card.
I added plaid behind this shaker and I just love that look.
I also added a custom sentiment to this card, that I just wrote inside this thought bubble, "A hug would be mice". I love a good pun!

Hello my stamping friend and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing cards from Episode 3 of my Tiny Friends stamp set of the month series. All month long I have been sharing ideas with this fun stamp set. Today the Tiny Friends are getting married and going to the fair!
You can watch the episode here and see these mini slimline shaker cards come together.
My first card finds the Tiny Friends at the chapel, getting married.
These Tiny Friends work great with all the village sets from Lawn Fawn. Here I used the Happy Village and Village Shops sets to great the scene. And in this shaker card is bird seed to bless this happy couple.
One of my favorite things about this card are the birds. If you want to see how I reversed the image to have a bird facing the opposite direction be sure the watch the video.
I also love the brides pink hair and the grooms tie, which I added in myself.
Now let's take a look at my second card a scene of tiny friends at the fair, using the Coaster Critters stamp set.
Do you see how perfect they fit in the booth and coaster cars perfectly! I thought it would be fun to have a red, white and blue color scheme for this card. Then I could use the American a mix for my shaker elements from the Craft Supplies by CC Etsy Shop.
I had so much fun making little shaker cards with this cute tiny friends! Be sure to tune back in next Tuesday at 8pm MST for Episode 4, the final episode with this stamp set.
