Turnabout Thanks


The Triangle Turnabout background that I conquered the other day has turned into this! A simply lovely little thank you card.  I used some gray cardstock on white along with a Lawn Fawn die layered gray on white.  The turnabout what a challenge for me because I insisted upon rushing.  Once I slowed myself down, I was able to get a decent product.

A Lawn Fawn afternoon

Kim's stash was VERY helpful in the making of these cards.  If it's Lawn Fawn, she's got it!

Loving this find for dimensional cards

My buddy Kim, as well as some online crafters, have a love-hate relationship with shaker and wheel cards.  These cards require the making of a "sandwich" that is usually created with foam mounting tape or craft foam.  The foam can look kind of icky on a card you invest a lot of time making.  Enter this product that Kim found in Florida:


Game changer.

Here is a card we made today with the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel.**




Check. It. Out.  Yes, the wheel still turns quite easily.  But no more horrific looking tape.  This can be used for a multitude of cards: shaker, reveal wheel, water color mounting...the possibilities are endless.  It was, surprisingly, not available through Amazon, but WalMart and Target supplied it.

This card was inspired by this pin.

**NOTE: The Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel has its good moments and its bad.  There is an impression it leaves, especially on card stock, that requires a lot of care (and occasional curse words).  Here is a picture we took of the impression, which happened several times and most usually when we used cardstock.  It works better on patterned paper.  You must be cautious how you position the die through the die-cutting machine, and even then, there are inconsistencies.  Just wanted to be sure you knew before buying.  We have contacted Lawn Fawn about this flaw.
