Hi friends, Sam here! I love this fiesta-inspired birthday card! I started by stamping Year Nine tacos, Thankful Mice cheese, Virtual Friends Add-On banner, Let’s Toast avocados, Be Hap-pea little tomatoes and Really High Five balloons! Whew!


They were all colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then I added some details with a white gel pen. Of course, I couldn’t resist adding some faces for all of the foods! ha! Then everything was cut out with their coordinating dies.


For the background, I used some white stencil paste and the Brick Stencil to add some tone-on-tone neutral texture. I love how that looks!

I heat embossed most of the sentiment with white embossing powder onto Black Licorice Cardstock, using the Harold’s ABCs stamp set. The rest of the sentiment was stamped in a rainbow of Distress Oxide Inks and then embossed with clear embossing powder onto vellum. It was also die-cut using the Fancy Wavy Banners.

Thank you so much for this adorable Fun with Food inspiration, Samantha! I love this fun and punny birthday card!

A Sparkly Thanksgiving Card

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Hello Fawnatics friends! It’s Nancy here today to share a sparkly card for our Bling It Out Challenge! I’m not known for adding lots of bling to my cards but I love Lawn Fawn’s new Sparkle cardstock packs so they were my glittery go-to supply for this card!

I combined colors from the Sparkle Autumn and Sparkle Holiday packs to die cut a bunch of Stitched Leaves and Small Stitched Leaves along with some Spring Sprigs! I arranged the leaves on a kraft cardstock circle so keep the wreath shape as close to round as I could. I had stamped and gold embossed the sentiment from Thankful Mice before I started arranging the leaves. To attach the leaves I used a combination of Lawn Fawn Glue Tube and Small Foam Squares.

I love how the bright sparkly wreath looks on the dark brown Woodgrain cardstock!

There is still time to enter our Bling it Out challenge, it will be open until Sunday, November 4 at 11:59PM ET. Check out all the amazing entries so far for some great inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hope you have a fun Halloween!
