We can’t wait to see your Challenge 129 – Fun with Food creativity! This challenge will be open until Sunday, July 31 at 11:59PM ET. Let’s see who has the recipe for crafty fun!

Catherine whipped up some delicious lemonade inspiration!

Catherine’s brilliant Platform Pop-Up features a fruity lemonade! She used the How You Bean? Shaker Add-On to fill with fruit from Summertime Charm, blueberries made with Let’s Bokeh and ice cubes from So Smooth. And she decorated with more fruit from Zesty Lemon and Strawberry Patch.

She included mice from Dandy Day, and You Autumn Know and a cute Bunting Border! The sentiment comes from the mini set Make Lemonade.

Thanks so much for this brilliant inspiration, Catherine!

Christy’s Letters with Lots of Heart Inspiration

- Nancy Krueger Leave a comment

We invite you to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the Lots of Heart challenge post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. The Lots of Heart challenge will run for 3 weeks and be open until Sunday, February 6th at 11:59PM ET.

Hey friends, it’s Christy with another card for our Lots of Heart Challenge!

For this one, I started by stamping out the mice and envelopes from You Autumn Know and Love Letters in Jet Black Ink. I colored them with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

Then I wanted to create a background that resembled an air mail envelope. I started with a Blue Jay card base. Then I die cut the Peppermint Stripes Backdrop out of Specked Eggshell and Chili Pepper cardstocks. I used glue to attach the Speckled Eggshell frame to the Blue Jay card base and then filled in the stripes with Chili Pepper.

For the focal panel, I wanted something that resembled a postage stamp, so I die cut more Speckled Eggshell cardstock with the Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables. I stamped a sentiment at the top right in Deep Sea ink and adhered my images with liquid glue. I popped that up on the card with foam tape. As a finishing touch, I stamped a few tiny hearts in Bubblegum ink and added a bit of Star Dust Stickles to the heart seals and stamp on the envelopes.

If you’d like to see how this card came together, you can check out the video tutorial as part of my Valentine Card Series on my YouTube Channel, Christy Gets Crafty. If you haven’t yet entered our Lots of Heart Challenge, there is still another week! We can’t wait to see what projects you’ll come up with!
