Sending Clean & Simple Hugs with Jessica

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

We are looking forward to seeing your Clean and Simple challenge creativity! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. The Clean and Simple challenge will be open until Sunday, February 20th at 11:59PM ET.

Good morning!  Jess here with a card for our current Clean and Simple challenge!

To start I gathered up all my Lawn Fawn cardstock scraps I keep in a storage pocket and cut them into strips of a variety of widths.  I used Guava, Raspberry, Chili Pepper, Fake Tan, Sunflower, No. 2 Pencil, Cilantro, Mermaid, Peacock, Moonstone, Blue Jay, and Sugar Plum cardstock though you could use cardstocks in the same color family or whatever scraps you happen to have on hand!  I applied adhesive to an A2 panel of white cardstock and then laid the strips on a diagonal pattern.  After I was done, I cut off the excess and was left with an A2 panel. 

Next, I die-cut the Giant Sending Big Hugs die from white cardstock and adhered the negative over my rainbow background.  I laid the sentiment inside the cut out and used it as a guide to adhere all the little pieces (like the inside of the ‘b’).  I stamped the rest of the sentiment from All the Clouds onto Black Licorice cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder! 

And that’s it!  You have one more weekend to get crafty and I can’t wait to see your clean and simple creations!  Thanks so much for stopping by and have an amazing weekend! -Jess

Thank you for sharing this awesome inspiration, Jess! It’s perfectly clean & simple!

This is the last weekend for the Clean & Simple challenge! We will back on Monday with another fun challenge theme, see you then!

Hello friends! Today is the start of a new challenge! We invite you to embrace the white or open space and create a Clean and Simple card or craft project! This is the challenge that helps you edit your creativity to focus on one special element!

We invite you to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, February 20th at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry to receive a $50.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! Everyone who enters a challenge has a chance to be the random drawing winner! Woohoo!

We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges, you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN, so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Jessica added just a bit of inking to give the suggestion of blue sky! Then she assembled a cute sun and clouds from Spring Showers and a glittery gold Scripty Hello to complete this simply adorable design!

Joyce put the focus on the sweet images and sentiment from Let’s Toast! She framed the little vignette with some hearts and a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle. So cute!

Samantha started with a column of blue watercolor, adding some stenciled stars over the top. Then she brought in a few images from All the Clouds to fill the sky! Her sentiment is a combination from Rain or Shine Before ‘n Afters and All the Clouds.

Caly used the “white space” to create a window with Outside In Stitched Circle Stackables. She filled the window with some tropical leaves stenciling and a cute critter from Hang in There!

Christy‘s sweet design proves that the open space can be any color! She combined Happy Hugs with Giant Sending Big Hugs, layering them on a Quilted Heart Backdrop! The peachy colors are so lovely!

Franci used images from Eggstra Special Easter, colored in bright, happy colors! She added just a little ink blending to define the space then stamped the sentiments in pretty pastel ink colors to create two beautiful clean and simple cards!

Karin created layers of Quilted Heart Backdrop, Lacy Heart Stackables and Fancy Scalloped Rectangle in white. Then she added special detail with a beautifully inked Giant XOXO and Car Critters Christmas Add-On cuties!

Samantha started her clean and simple design with a panel of patterned paper from Really Rainbow! Then she layered two Selfie Frames, filling one with a cute scene that features Bugs and Kisses, and A Bug Deal images! She kept this really simple by using Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper to fill the background in the frames.

Our favorite mermaid is definitely dreaming of beach weather with this simply beautiful Mermaid for You card! Jenn included images from So Jelly and letters from Owen’s ABCs to complete her design!

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 117 – Lots of Heart tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Samantha’s All the Clouds Card

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Our Little Things challenge will be open until Sunday, July 4 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see how this theme inspires you!

Samantha created a beautiful card featuring the little rainbows in All the Clouds to spark your creativity!

Samantha colored the little rainbows and clouds from All the Clouds with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! She used the warm colors of the rainbow so they would pop against the pretty blue shades in the background!

This simply beautiful design just needed a heat embossed sentiment from Unicorn Picnic as the finishing touch!

Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Samantha!

Have a wonderful day!
