Summertime
Chari‘s card is gorgeous! She used the new Pink Lemonade papers along with the stamps from Summertime Charm. I love how she stamped on vellum and created adorable pinwheels from the fruit in this set! So brilliant!

I just love Lynnette‘s coloring and shading of the jar. The idea of a colored lid is so cute! She used the fireflies and their “glow” stamp, and some Pink Lemonade Lawn Trimmings. This would be a great card to do for mass reproduction!

Elena‘s card is beautiful! I love how she used Pink Lemonade papers and stickers. That label sticker looks great layered behind the jar, and I love the Lawn Trimmings tied around the lid. The scallop stamp is great over the label, like she did here, or at the top of the jar. I love that you can hand write in the label, too. This is great for personalization!
LawnFawn summertime latishayoast
I love how Latisha kept it simple and gorgeous with just paper piecing with Pink Lemonade papers and black stamping. I love the country charm feel of this card! Doilies are the perfect touch for this set!

Kim‘s layout is so sweet! She die cut Pink Lemonade papers and used the stickers, also. Her small jar was cut from the paper, and her large jar was stamped with Summertime Charm. I just love the confetti hearts at the top. That is a perfect way to use the icons in this set!

I just love Kim‘s pleated paper and paper pieced label. She used the new Daphne’s Closet papers! It was so clever to use the firefly “glow” as a frame for the heart, and I just love that Pink Lemonade hello sticker!
Summertime Yainea
SummertimeClose
Yainea‘s card is so beautiful! She shows that lots of other Lawn Fawn stamp sets would look great in the jar! Those Flutter By butterflies are perfect for this! She has a layer of vellum down, her stamped butterfly, and then a layer of acetate. It has the glow of a jar. Genius! I love her layering of Pink Lemonade papers and sweet paper piecing, too!

Make sure you click on each of the design team’s names or pictures to go to their blogs and see the details of how they made their cards. You will walk away inspired for sure!

Nancy’s Judy’s Blooms

Nancy from Happy Heart Studio works with us here behind the scenes at Lawn Fawn. We are so lucky to have her! I just had to share this gorgeous Judy’s Blooms and Grand Greetings card. She really made these sets shine! Isn’t that watercolor gorgeous? I love that it looks like it was a background stamp! Thanks for sharing this beautiful card with us, Nancy!

Operation Write Home week! day 4

We have a fun contest going on this week with a great pirze, so get
creating for Operation Write Home and share your gorgeous cards! Check it out here!
______________________________________________________________

Hello, everyone! We are SO excited about this week, and that is because we are teaming up with our friends at Operation Write Home!
Operation Write Home is an organization that sends blank handmade
cards to deployed service members so they can write home to their
families. As of March 2012, they’ve sent 1.7 MILLION cards! How
amazing is that?!

This week we are focusing on creating cards for deployed service members
to send home to their kids, nieces, nephews, etc. We love the idea of
creating cards for kids, and we think Lawn Fawn is perfect for that! 🙂
We are going to have lots of cards to inspire you to create for
Operation Write home both here and on the Operation Write Home blog, and we have a fun contest on this post where you can show off your awesome cards!

 
This card by Yainea would make any little girl smile! The bright colors and cute images are just perfect for kids! This card is so sweet!
 
Melissa S.’s card is too cute! Bright layered papers and a critter is perfect for kids, and the collage look means it could work for an older child, too! Awesome!
 
Operation Write Home shared a quote with us that I thought was really
powerful and might motivate you to create some cute kids cards!

“To tell you how your cards have made a difference to my family, I’d like to share with you a little about me. My husband and I have 3 daughters; 6, 12, and 16 years old. Our 6 yr old barely remembers my last deployment (thankfully) as she was only 2 then. Our older 2 girls are blind. With your tactile designs, I have written my girls quite often, always taking care and extensive deliberation over which cards they would enjoy most (best “feeling”). Of course for my youngest I chose cute cards, whether silly or pretty but all associated to aesthetically pleasing. I took mid-tour leave in February, surprising our youngest for her 6th birthday, and found all of the cards I’d sent them! Each girl had her own growing collection that she treasured and could revisit whenever they missed me.” -M.A., U.S. Army, Iraq

Make sure to head on over to the Operation Write Home blog for some more inspiration!
Also, we thought it would be fun to have some funny jokes that are perfect for kids with the answers on the other blog! 🙂
What do you get when you cross an elephant with a kangaroo?- Answer on the Operation Write Home blog!
And the answer to their joke: Because of its bark!
