Lawn Fawn April Inspiration Week: Smitty's ABCs!

Hello, folks!
Welcome to the third day of projects for the new Lawn Fawn stamp sets that will be in the store on April 14th! Today is Smitty's ABCs day! This is another great alphabet stamp set that will help you spell out all of those sentiments you wished you had stamps for! For me, it's all about the punny sentiments!

:o)
Ah hee hee! I think I'm the cheesiest person alive because I will howl with laughter at any punny sentiment. If I think of one and say it out loud, I will crack myself up. ;o)
And how 'bout them felt embellishments? I am loving the detail on some of the ones that are out now! These particular ones are from Pebbles. I'm kind of obsessed, too, with the new KI Memories Puffies! You'll be seeing some projects with those soon!

For this card, I stamped the punny sentiment first, then attached the felt orange and slice. I thought the card needed a little something else, so I tied on the twine. Now I'm not 100% sure about the twine, but I don't know what else I would add that would suit the rest of the card. I guess that happens to a lot of us, eh?

Tip! My favourite way to add twine across a card is to punch a little semi-circle on each side of the card front -- this creates notches for the twine so that it stays put! That way your twine doesn't slide about. :o)

I think the twine is adorable, but then, I *love* twine. And I'm also one of those people who will crack up over puns...the more silly and make-you-roll-your-eyes stupid it is, the more it will make me laugh. :) So I adore the card!
