super simple + three sneaky hints

Hi, everyone! I wanted to remind you guys about the vendor challenge we have going on over at Two Peas! Make sure to enter your Lawn Fawn cards for a chance to win one of three $49 prize packs! Totally awesome, right?! We can’t wait to see your projects over there!

I have three more sneaky hints for you guys today as we lead up to our release party starting May 15th!


Any guesses for these? Lots of you guessed correctly yesterday! 🙂

Today I have two very simple projects! I think I was feeling the clean and simple after making the sunshine rays card yesterday!

I made this tag for my brother’s house warming party. We got them some cool silver pinwheels, and the box was huge and definitely needed some decor! I used washi tape to attach it to the box. I kept it super simple since I was trying to make something more masculine. Guy cards and tags are hard! I used Smitty’s ABCs to make my custom sentiment and a cute Crate Paper journaling card to finished it up! I even used a Crate Paper sticker as the “grass”. I wrote our message on the back and it was done!

This is even more simple! It’s a tiny 2.5″ square card that would be perfect for sticking in a briefcase right before a big meeting or a kid’s lunch box on a big test day. I used Say Cheese, Too to make the card, and used Design Memory Craft Stamper’s Big Brush Pens on the star to get the rainbow look. I just got some and wanted to try them out on a small scale and this card was perfect! They are a lot of fun! 🙂

Card stock: Neenah
Patterned Paper: Crate Paper
Stamps: Lawn Fawn (Say Cheese, Too, Smitty’s ABCs)
Ink: Jenni Bowlin, Design Memory Craft Stamper’s Big Brush Pens

Etc: Corner Chomper, eclectic Paperie tag, baker’s twine, Crate Paper sticker
