PIP. Challenge 2550. Lawn Fawn dies





PIP CHALLENGE 2550
For this last challenge of the season, I have chosen A fun die cut gift card by our sponsor this week lawn Fawn     lift the flap
 It is a one piece day set in multiple sizes, and I have chose the smallest one in the largest one for this gift card. For the base card, I used a light blue and put a 
white piece of paper on the inside with a small sentiment on the small card. I layered it on top, same color scheme, and added a floral paper with three gemstones. It was a fun little die to work with. I made this one into a birthday because I needed a quick gift card but the holidays are a fun time to do quick little cards like this, and have it on hand!
I want to thank our wonderful sponsor lawn Fawn, please go take a peek at their website. Fun images!
Here’s the link for this particular die.

Wooden Christmas gift blocks


My sister came home for Christmas and we always do a crafting week while she’s here. This year I had my husband pre-cut 4 x 4 wood into different lengths. We painted them white and then we decorated them with ribbons and floral pics. We each did three as a set and they turned out super cute. This picture does not do them justice.




ADU snowman



   I’m not necessarily a winter person, but the first snow is always beautiful and making a snowman is always fun with the grandkids are used an embossing folder on White went over it lightly with my green ink, layered it on a green card stock fussy cut out the ADU image colored with markers. Fussy cut the greetings for the sentiment and added a little bit of crystal glitter on the trees….love glitter!!!







Paper shelter baking cakes


The image is from paper shelter, colored with pencil. I fussy, cut it out and layered it on a plaid teal paper, and then a pink paper that I went around the edges with pink ink. I added a couple of Crystal gemstones and stamped it for the very special happy 15th birthday at paper shelter.

Beccys elf


The image is Becky’s elf. I colored with pencils, fussycut him out and layered him on a brown paper which I also cut around and used a Christmas orange background paper. I used a little tag with a little Brad for the sentiment. And a few little gemstones to finish it off . Cute little kids card.    I went with the middle line.red, white and orange. It would possibly qualify for the bottom lune as well. Brown, rose and blue.








Santa baby


My Besties image, colored in pencil. Fussycut and layered on a pretty Christmas paper and then white cardstock. Added wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.
