I Pick You

Hi Creative Friends,

I had so much fun with today’s project. First of all, I finally used the MFT Harvest Mouse stamp and die set. I have been in love with this set since it was first released. These adorable little mice are in the cutest poses. The mouse with the bushel basket is so awesome, I decided on him for my subject.

Then, to color him, I chose Derwent Inktense colored pencils on a colored background. I was inspired by Jennifer Rustioni who is an amazing talent! She often uses colored pencil on a colored background and I just love the look!

One more thing before we jump into the card design, we are excited to announce a sale on all My Favorite Things stamps, dies, or stencils in our shop. More info is at the bottom of this post but just so you know the discount code is: 15MFT822.

Sending Good Vibes

Hi Creative Friends,

Summer is in full bloom and since I live near the beach, no summer can go by without spending time in the sand. That means a sandcastle is in order! But, no matter where you live your can build your own using the fun dies set by My Favorite Things, Sandcastle Builder.

This die set is great fun as you can build your castle any way you like. In my case, I went for the palatial castle, complete with turrets and a flag on top. Below are all the steps to create your own.

Oh, and don’t forget, we are having a 15% off sale of all Lawn Fawn in our shop. So, be sure to grab your favorites! All the details of the sale are at the bottom of this post but the important detail is the discount code to enter at checkout. It is; 15LF722

Mosaic Happy Birthday

Hi Creative Friends,

A week or so ago I shared a ‘love you’ card with a colorful mosaic background. Since I had cut out the mosaic pattern from each of the colors used, I had oodles of pieces leftover! So, in an effort to be tidy and also use some of these pieces, I made another mosaic background. This time, it is a colorful and cheerful birthday card.
