Hello! I'm extremely excited about his week's collaboration between
XYRON & LAWN FAWN
We swapped out products to show how well the two companies' work together,
especially when you're dealing with small pieces such as die-cuts!
Look how cute!
I adore the way this adorable card turned out.
I've used the Lawn Fawn "Year Five" Die and Stamp Set,
which hosts an otter and birthday sentiment.
I've also used the "Let's Polka in the Meadow" Petite Paper Pack which
is filled to the brim with the cutest stripes, dots and mini hearts in beautiful colors.
I first stamped the image onto Neenah white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Okay, so I kinda cheated a little when coloring in the otter! I used the chisel
tip of the GG1 Spectrim Noir alcohol marker to color in and shade. I like how
the long strokes of the marker give a seamless color.
I hand-cut the otter out and then used the matching die to cut a white background for it.
All pieces, and the strip of wavy water that I cut out, were ran through the Xyron 5"
Creative Station Lite. The 3" Permanent Adhesive Refill was placed into the machine.
I also used the 3" Permanent Adhesive to build my card bases and adhere them together.
Finally, I cut an A2 cardbase and adhered the finished piece to the front with the
The otter is holding a present, which is also a part of the stamp and die set.
The sentiment was then stamped in the same Memento Tuxedo Black ink along
the bottom "grassy" area of the card :)
You will find more fun ideas on the Xyron Facebook Page!

Xyron & Lawn Fawn Fun
Welcome to Day #1 fun with
XYRON and LAWN FAWN
Visit both manufacturer's blogs and check-out the prizes
given throughout the week:
I have two cards to share with you today!
On the first card I've used the "Hello Friend" Set
I stamped the sentiment onto the striped paper with Nightshift Blue by Colorbox.
I stamped the sentiment again with Electric Yellow by Tsukineko and then trimmed out
the airplane motif. I added it over the blue plane and left a bit of the blue showing so
that it looks like a shadow.
The cute papers are also from Lawn Fawn: Hello Sunshine. From one of the 6X6 papers,
I cut out the little clouds and then arranged them to create a border. I attached the two
buttons with a couple of the Xyron High Tack Adhesive Dots.
When I know that I will be machine-stitching papers together, I use Xyron's Glue Stick
to tack the papers together before stitching. This holds the papers in place, but without
adding too much gunk for the needle to stitch through!
For my second card, I made a tri-fold with a 10.75"W X 5.5"H piece of white cardstock.
I scored the width at the 3" and 6.5" marks. When closed the card measures 4.25".
I cut the panels of paper 1/2" shorter than the size of the card's sections.
Adhesive was applied to the backs of the paper with the Xyron 9" Creative Station
and then adhered to the sections.
The bird and log were stamped from Lawn Fawn's "Critters in the Forest"
I stamped the log onto a piece of cherry wood paper with Staz-On and then
trimmed out. I shaded some of the areas with a brown colored pencil.
That's all from me today! I hope that you enjoy this week's worth
of inspiration from Xyron and Lawn Fawn :)

Hello and welcome to day four of the
MAY ARTS RIBBON & LAWN FAWN INSPIRATION WEEK
**You should be starting off today's hop with the May Arts Blog**
I love Lawn Fawn sooo much that I decided to do two cards for today
using the Hello Sunshine Stamps and 6X6 Paper Pad
I adore balloons and these heart-shaped ones stole my heart LOL
I stamped it in three different VersaMagic Chalk Inks:
Sea Breeze, Thatched Straw and Pixie Dust
After hand-cutting each of the hearts, I attached a length of
the May Arts' Baker's Twine to the back.
Next, I arranged them to my liking over the grey dot paper
and then adhered in place with a foam dot. The lengths of twine
were gathered together and wrapped around the bottom of the paper and
secured at the back with a piece of tape.
I thought that the 'sunset' paper would look perfect with a row of
low laying clouds followed by a bed of green, green grass!
I simply stamped the cloud onto the diagonal blue striped paper and
then cut out. I stamped the sun in a Brilliance Sunflower Yellow and used
a 1.5" circle punch to separate it from the cardstock.
I added two widths of the green dot ribbon to the bottom of the sun paper.
Next, I topped those with a band of hot pick ric-rack that I glued to the back
of a third strand of green dot ribbon.
That's all from me today! Here is a complete list of this week's hop...I'm your
last stop for today, so I hope that you've enjoyed :)

Top Dog Dies
Adhere the pieces to the card and use a set of thin magnets to hold the flap closed.

A good Friday to you all!
Today I have a very clean-and-simple Christmas card made with
TOP DOG DIES
and a cute print from Lawn Fawn's "Fa La La" 6X6 Paper Pad.
The die that I used for this card is steel-rule A2 Card #4.
I really, really like the design of this die because it can be turned as I have it
shown here, opened to the right or with the flap at the top. You could also
create a gift card holder with it or an envelope!
First, I cut the actual card base from a white piece of cardstock.
Next, I cut the design of patterned paper (shown above) using just the
scrolled portion of the die.
I took the same paper from the pad and lined up the scroll piece over the other
paper so that the design matched (see above); place the layered pieces back onto the die
(follow the indentations on the die so that you will have proper placement).
Remove the scroll piece of paper and run the second piece back through to die-cut.
Adhere the pieces to the card and use a set of thin magnets to hold the flap closed.
I embellished lightly with just a smattering of small pearls to resemble snowflakes,
a die-cut sentiment from Elle's Studio and an evergreen ribbon bow by May Arts Ribbon!
I cannot wait to try out more stuff with this die...I'm thinking it would make a cool mini album too :)
Have a fun weekend!
