Build a Butterfly Snow Globe for Spring! NEW Lawn Fawn card idea by Megan Burnette!
Hi friend! Happy Saturday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Megan Burnette with a darling card idea featuring new Lawn Fawn products! Please read on to learn more and enjoy!
Hello friends! It has been awhile since I have visited with you here on the Simon Says Stamp Blog and I am thrilled to be back! I have a fun, pick-me-up design to share with you using some products from Lawn Fawn’s latest release.
Lawn Fawn’s February Spring Release is chock full of adorable critters and accessory sets! For my project, I began by stamping out images from the I Like Big Butterflies, All the Grasses, To My Fungi, Porcu-pine For You, and Spring Basket Stamp Sets. After coloring them using Copic Markers, I cut them out using the coordinating dies.
On this design, I wanted to create the feeling of looking into a terrarium filled with sweet butterfly and snail images. I added in floral and grass elements to bring it all together.
Next, I chose patterned papers for the background that coordinated with the purples and aquas from the colored images. This helps to tie the whole scene together and make it look more cohesive. For the grassy borders, I die cut white yardstick using the Lawn Fawn Grassy Borders Die and one of the dies from Lawn Fawn’s Grassy Hillside Borders Die Set. I then ink blended the pieces using a blender brush and Lawn Fawn’s Celery Stick Ink. I adhered all of the elements down using the Lawn Fawn Glue Tube and this card is done.
I just love how this card turned out and I hope that it brought a smile to your face! Thank you for stopping by and spending time with me today!

The Cutest DIY Felted Treat Envelope for Easter 🐰 Funny Friday with Art Impressions
Happy Friday, friends! It’s Nina-Marie Trapani here, and I’m back with another installment of our beloved Funny Friday series featuring Art Impressions! In this video, I am going to show you how I turned the Art Impressions Gift Card Envelope and Bunny Gift Card Holder into a sweet little sleeve for treats—specifically, chocolate! What makes these even cuter is that I made the bunny with felt and added google-eyes to amp up the adorability!
This is a clever way to repurpose a die set for other uses! Of course, you could totally put a gift card in the envelope and that would be darling—but doing something fun for little treats you plan on giving for Easter is a great way to make them extra-special.
Be sure to watch the video to see how this cutie-patootie comes together! She’s perfect for tucking into Easter baskets or putting at place settings for an after-dinner-treat!
