Let’s Go Nuts from Lawn Fawn

~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

It’s Thanksgiving here in the US and a great time to reflect upon all the blessings in life. I’m so thankful for my family and friends. Plus even though it’s been a rough year, there are several other reasons to be thankful – too many to number them all but I just wanted to say that my heart is full of gratitude this week.

For this project today, I’ve used Let’s Go Nuts for another squirrel adventure card which I thought was fitting for a family theme too.

Let’s Go Nuts
Lift the Flap Tree Background

This is such a fun card to make using all the squirrels form Let’s Go Nuts and then adding the Lift the Flap Tree Background interactive features on the trees. This is the second card of this layout and I chose different colors this time and a night sky scene.

I recently picked up a new hobby that allows me to breeze through the parks and trees with the squirrels and I can’t believe how many squirrels I’ve seen. So when I saw this release of Let’s Go Nuts with all those squirrels, I knew I had to get it and make cards for my buddies. Read below for the latest winner and more details on this card using these featured products:

Mom + Me

Here’s a quick little shaker card note that I created using some fun dies and stamps. The inside of the shaker card is filled with yellows, golds and some green butterflies to go for a twilight theme. Sometimes cards don’t need to say a lot – this is one of them and a simple note to say I love you.

Snowy Trees
Say Cheese
Mom + Me
Critters in the Forest

The main component is the Polaroid die and Snowy trees which I blended with ink to color them. I stamped the tree stump in brown and added a little shading but kept it simple. Then I only had to spend some time coloring the details of the owl.

Audrina Swinging By To Say…

~ sproatmeyer ~ 5 Comments

Hello friend! For this project I pulled out my stash of dies to create the scenery and then colored up Audrina Swinging By Tire Swing to enjoy it. It’s been so hot this summer that I’m ready for cooler temperatures and for those autumn colors to emerge. Sigh. It will be a while for that to happen. But in the mean time, I hope you enjoy this project.

Audrina Swinging By Tire Swing
Peekaboo Backdrop Die

I started this project by building from the background forward. I knew I was going to use the Peekaboo Backdrop Die so I kept that in mind when I was placing the other elements. The top-left window features trees and the word “Hello” on top. The top-right window features stenciled clouds and the word “FRIEND” in the sky.
I colored Audrina Swinging By Tire Swing with the no-lines technique which means I stamped her in a light color. This allowed me to add a few more details such as more rope, add a nose and change her mouth. I colored her eyes the same way I did last time which seams to work out well with this style. I’ll have to try green eyes next time. 😉
The leaves were cut from mulberry paper that was already died in the autumn colors. That was so I didn’t have to worry about coloring them and they also have a bit of texture to them that is reminiscent of leaves. I chose autumn leave colors so that the tree and foreground would stand out more than the background and to keep the focal point moving around the card.

Loads of Fun

I was inspired by the Loads of Fun washing machine set and thought it would be funny to have a spinning load of socks – all of them mismatched, of course. So when I spotted the Reveal Wheel, I knew that was the combination I needed. The trick was to combine the shaker card idea with the wheel. What I thought was going to be easy ended up taking forever. But it worked and it’s so fun to play with.

To make this a shaker card, I used the spinning wheel die to cut the top and bottom layers from white card stock. Then a third time from thin double-stick foam. The top cardstock layer was cut with a circle die that I also used on the washing machine. This allowed me to assemble a wheel part just like any other shaker. However, don’t forget to add the brad into the bottom layer before sealing it up.
Once the shaker wheel was figured out, I put the rest of the card together with foam tape and arranged my colored images to top. I made sure I used lots of socks. This was also my the debut of my first Purple Onion Designs stamp – that turtle reading was the perfect little critter to wait for the laundry to finish.

Monster Mash

Sometime little notes are needed which I have made a few. They have been quick to put together and I’ve enjoyed using the simple images from Lawn Fawn. This one for example – I stamped the characters in black which makes coloring very quick and less time consuming that no-lines coloring. Plus these little notes are a great way to brighten up someone’s day.
