Have A Happy Day Lawn Fawnatics #53 Spectacular Skies

Hi! Welcome back to my blog. It sure feels like forever since I was in my craft room actually making cards again! Im super excited about the latest summer release from Lawn Fawn and this is one was high on my list to get On The Beach. I used about 11 die cuts and stamps for the finished card. This is for the Lawn Fawnatics #53 Spectacular Skies. Love being at the beach on a partly cloudy day with a little bit in breeze.

I love the windy background and I recently bought the Butterfly Kisses set with the older Spring Shower set. On the inside, I stamped You Are In My Thoughts. This card is for my sister in law who recently lost her mother. However, I didn't want to send a sympathy card. I wanted to send a happy card to her instead to brighten her day.

A closer view. Always loving the hillside borders and stitched waves and not to mention the Life is Good set. However, Im so sad that I lost the tiny bird stamp :(

The inspiration this week! Thank you!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful, safe holiday weekend!

Sea You Soon

Hello again! It's Lisa back with an underwater card using lots of die cuts and stamps from

Dies R Us. Today, I'm using Lawn Fawn, Impression Obsession, and the amazing ringlets from Memory Box. I just LOVE that it looks like bubbles.

This card was inspired by my girlfriend who is leaving for most of the summer...so I will sea her soon! LOL The sea plants are absolutely gorgeous! So much detail. All the adorable fish and shark are from Lawn Fawn, they are must haves for your fun underwater cards.

First, I started with the windy background and stitched rectangle. When you turn it sideways, I thought it worked well with the ringlets going upwards like bubbles and water.

I then used the stitched waves and stamped my sentiment on the bottom.

Die cut all the stamped images, the sea plants, ringlets and assembled on the card. I also used the stitched waves in the inside too.

Hope you were inspired today!

Flying By To Say

Hi Welcome Back! t's Lisa here again sharing a new card for Dies R Us. Im getting for that favorite time of year for me....yep...beach time! I just love the all these wonderful die cuts from Impression Obsession and Lawn Fawn to make this cool summer card.

Just loving the blues and kraft paper with all these fun birds! I colored some of the birds with black copic marker. I also added tiny dots in brown for a little dimension in the sand.
