Light up the Lawn ...Fawn that is

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn blog share.  Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn have teamed up to share some of the great ideas and projects you can make with these two great companies.


Lawn Fawn makes some of the cutest clear stamps out there and I was lucky to receive the Loads of Fun stamps to play with.
Supplies Used:  
  • Ranger Archival Ink - Black
  • Ranger Distress Crayons
  • Lawn Fawn Loads of Fun Stamps
  • Chibitronics LED Sticker Lights
  • Chibitronics Copper Tape
  • Core'dinations Cardstock
  • Foam Adhesive
Step 1:  Color card base with Distress Crayons.  Unlike many watercolor mediums, these you want to go somewhat heavy with in order to get a good smudge.
Step 2:  Color stamped images and color with Distress Crayons.  Apply adhesive.  I like using a dry adhesive like my Xyron Sticker Maker.

Step 3:  Create card design and poke holes where you want the lights to shine through.  
Step 4:  With Pencil, mark card base where lights need to show through.
Step 5:  Create simple, parallel circuit.
Step 6:  Attach card design to base using foam adhesive to compensate for depth of battery.

That's it...so cute, so simple.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs.

A Couple of Cards

Hi everyone!  I wanted to pop in today and share a couple of cards I made this week.

The first is for a baby shower I attended for one of my besties daughters.  She had an Alice in Wonderland theme so of course I couldn't resist making this card.
I printed the black and white image from the web and then water colored the image before adding a bit of Stickles and a bit of sparkle with my Galaxy pen.
 
For this next card I used my Sizzix window box die. (Kristina still has a few dies available at the Your Memories Here store on sale for $29.99)   I cut down the window box to focus more on the window.  A bit of pop and it looks like you are looking into a super fun party.  
I used many of the same techniques to color my window box as I used to create the home decor piece.  Sanding the Core'dinations cardstock and bits of ink to weather the wood.
Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have a great weekend.

Hugs.
