Use Your Stash--Lawn Fawn Cuteness!

Good morning, friends!  Amy Copeland here guest designing for the blog today.  For 2021, I have challenged myself to use ALL new/unused stamps/dies at least once, so this card was created with some older product that is either new-to-me or that I just haven't used yet.  I also have a serious lack of birthday cards in my stash, so I'm trying to create birthday cards to replenish my stock ASAP.

I started out by cutting an almost A2-sized panel out of white heavyweight cardstock (it measures approximately 4 x 5 1/4").  I taped the Bubble Burst die from Memory Box onto my cardstock using washi tape and then ran it through my die cut machine.  I then used the same die to run through lot of colors of Lawn Fawn Card Stock (I used Cilantro, Sticky Note, Raspberry, Peacock, Pixie Dust glitter cardstock, Mermaid, No 2 Pencil, Noble Fir, and Ballet Slipper)--many of these are in stock at Butterfly Reflections, Ink's shop and if it's out of stock, click Put Me On the Waiting List and you will be emailed when it's restocked.

I glued each individual dot on top of the white dots that were left there when I ran the die through the first time on the white cardstock panel (I put regular tape all over the back of my panel to hold the white dots in place) using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive --a Pick Up Tool and/or tweezers are very helpful for getting the teensy dots where you want them to go!

I then stamped the little mouse/paper from Lawn Fawn's Love Poems stamp set (which I have had ever since it was released for Valentine's Day of 2020!) with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink onto a scrap of the same heavy weight white cardstock, colored him in with Warm Grey Copic Markers, stamped the sentiment from Love Poems with Peacock ink, and used the Coordinating Die Set to cut him out.  I used Foam Squares to pop him up over the intersecting bubble bursts.

The final step was cutting an A2-sized panel from Lawn Fawn Peacock cardstock, gluing my white card panel on top, then adhering it to an A2-sized card base.  I'm happy with the way this clean-and-simple card turned out and I'm SO happy to use two more new and/or unused products in my stash for the first time!  :)  

PS--I used the leftover circles from all of the colorful cardstocks in a shaker card as shaker bits behind the BIG word using the Big Birthday Wishes die from My Favorite Things (which looks to be currently out of stock, but if you click "Put Me On the Waiting List," you will get an email when it's back in stock!)
