w&w Share the Love: Lawn Fawn



What an awesome first release for winnie & walter last month! Julie, Shay and the entire Design Team really knocked it out of the park with the samples. The reaction from everyone was absolutely incredible. AND, The Big, The Bold and The Happy set even sold out (it's back in stock now).


Keeping the excitement level up, we're doing a series this week using winnie & walter products with Lawn Fawn products. I'm posting my projects today, and the rest of the Design Team will be sharing on the winnie & walter blog throughout the week, so you'll want to make sure to keep checking back.
 

I went with the obvious match-up for the card ... the winnie & walter You've Got Love Mail set and the Lawn Fawn You've Got Mail set. They were made for each other (figuratively speaking)!


The mailbox is Lawn Fawn, everything else is winnie & walter. The heart is fussy-cut and loosely stuck into the mail slot that's been cut with an exacto. I like how you can take the heart out, and also see it through the slot.


I went with vellum for the front because I wanted the hugs and kisses to look like they're floating out of the mailbox. Also wanted to peek through to the inside, where I've cut the heart from The Write Stuff: Love Story.
 

It gives a nice, layered effect. Papers are American Crafts Lucky Charm. The double-sided card base is cut to be 4 1/4 x 6 inches and scored at 5 1/2 inches. That extra 1/2 inch I folded over, and used to sew the vellum onto.

Then, because I'm sneaky, I lured you in with a card, and am also going to post ...


my first ever real scrapbook layout in almost 2 years! Boy did it feel good to be scrapbooking again. I really missed it. In addition to the creative process, nothing matches the joy when you show your kids a page made just for them. Since I'm out of practice working in the 12x12 space, it did take me quite a bit longer to do. But definitely worth it. I've got another page coming this week too.


I partially inked the Lawn Fawn Interlocking Borders starting from the bottom left to the top right of the page. Drew the outline frame like Mou Saha does and used a date stamp.


Here's the journaling. w&w stamps for the journaling heart, as well as the arrow/heart/"hugs & kisses"

Baby steps. I know it will take awhile for me to feel comfortable on a 12 x 12 canvas again. It was surprising to me how hesitant and unsure of myself I was creating this page. But just like anything else, I'll need to practice, practice, practice.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to check winnie & walter the rest of the week to see all the projects made in conjunction with Lawn Fawn products.

  1. Wonderful card Kelly - you're right, there could not be a more perfect pairing of stamp sets! Love the vellum card front for a different yet classy look. And your page is awesome, especially as it's the first in years! Love the pops of colour and the heart and arrow!

  2. Yes, those two stamp sets are a natural pair. I imagine it will be used together by others this week. :-) Your card is fantastic as usual. Love your use of stamps (the heart being tucked into the mailbox is fantastic) and colors. And I think your layout is awesome! It doesn't seem like you've taken 2 years off at all. As usual your projects are top notch, Kelly!

  5. Hi Kelly!
    First, let me say that if you felt a bit uncomfortable making this 12 x 12 L.O it clearly does not show!
    It's beautiful and perfect! I love the fact that it really tells the story and what? your boy literally loves paper? hahahaha... as in his Mama loved papercraft so much that she passed it on to her son?...
    and your card, what a precious scene! Wonderful use of stamps which I have come to know thanks to you!

    Have a terrific Day and enjoy the sunshine before the next snow storm ;)

  9. Love the idea of using vellum for the front of this sweet card. The scrapbook page is wonderful. I miss scrapbooking, too, but I do 8.5 by 11 pages so they fit in regular notebooks. I need to get back to it.

  15. These are fantastic! I really love the design of them, and the layering looks so effective :) Would be perfect for Valentine's Day as they add a much more personal effect than a standard card, thanks for sharing Kelly! x

  16. Your card is so cute, Kelly! I love that literal scene of sending hearts and kisses!!

    And WHOA on the scrapbooking! Not surprisingly, you rock that venue as well! And I agree, the immediate satisfaction you get to experience when you show the pages to your boys is unparalleled by anything in the making-cards-to-mail department! I mean, that's a sweet experience, too, but it's not the same!! I'm glad you are getting back into memorializing your family's day-to-day highlights!! Hugs, Darnell

  17. Ha - another one! Oh your poor little guy. Love the vellum for the card front, BTW. Have to try that one.

  18. Love the card...you blended these two sets seamlessly. And the scrapbook page...holy cow! It's awesome! Love those pictures and you'd never guess you'd taken a two-year break from this area of the craft. I've been feeling the need to head back that direction, too. This fabulous layout has added to the feelings I've been having.
