Chevron_ThankYou_teri
Teri's card is so cool! She mixed and matched all three chevron styles at a diagonal to create a custom background. Add in some Fly Free birds and Many Thanks word bubbles and you have a super rad card!

Chevron Set
Julie's card and gift bad ensemble are so cute! I love the way she put varying shades in the same color family in the pattern. It looks so awesome! Pair it with the Many Thanks sentiment and you get a very cool graphic ensemble!
barber.loveLA.1
Linda's layout is too awesome!I love the way the chevrons are stamped on the layout and using them for a stitching template is brilliant! Her stitched title and long typed journaling are just awesome! I can't wait to try this with some instragram photos!

GoodGrief
Chari's card makes me smile big time! This is a perfect homage to Charlie Brown. I love how she used Harold's ABCs for her custom sentiment too. This large bold chevron looks great cut out and popped up with foam adhesive. This layout would work well for non Charlie Brown cards, too! :)

LawnFawn-chevron-latishayoast
Latisha's card is so pretty. I absolutely adore the chevrons stamped across the two color card stocks. Absolutely gorgeous! She paired it with images from You've Got Mail for a totally classy love card. Beautiful!

ChevronBackdrops-LeaLawson
Lea's card is just stunning! She stamped the chevrons with some light ink over patterned paper and over her Sophie's Sentiments greeting. It looks so pretty and is a great way to spruce up or change some patterned papers you may have. I love the subtle ink color for adding just a bit of texture!

barber.LF.Feb2012.card
Linda's card is so cute, and I just love the multi-colored chevrons and fun image and sentiment from Gnome Sweet Gnome. The mutli-colored chevrons looks so fun as a background. It would look great in a gradient color scheme or a rainbow color pattern, too!

chevset
Lynnette's cards are so wonderful! I absolutely adore the chevron strip just stamped once. This is such a great idea for making a card set as a gift or for creating a bunch of birthday cards at once to save in your stash. The one color plus white looks so clean and fun!

Make sure you click on each of the design team's names or pictures to go to their blogs and see the details of how they made their cards. You will walk away inspired for sure!

Now, I have a little video for you showing this set in action and some fun things you can do with it. I hope you enjoy it! Watch it below or at our You Tube channel.

BrightSide2-LeaLawson
Lea's card is so gorgeous! I absolutely love the layering of grey chevrons and her fun accordion flowers. I also love the purple and grey mix of colors. I just love that you can take Bright Side into so many different styles! Many Thanks is a great sentiment here!

SpringBucket
Chari's Spring treat bucket is the cutest! I love how she combined Critters in the 'Burbs, Critters on the Farm, Bon Voyage, Claire's ABCs and Gnome Sweet Gnome here! The paper looks so happy and springy. All this needs is some colorful jelly beans!


LawnFawn-naturalbeauty-tish
Latisha's layout is clean, simple and gorgeous! I love the way she combined the pink, green and kraft along with photos of her daughter. Just beautiful and perfect for a teen girl. The layered butterflies and small alphabet stickers are the icing on the cake!

Gnome copy
Chari's card is the sweetest! I love the circle shape and the fun scene! The grass stamped over and over gives her hill great texture, and I love the glossy accents on the mushroom house, too! This is such a perfect little scene!

Gnome_MrMrsMingo_teri
Teri's Mr. and Mrs. Flamingo card just makes me smile! I love how she used the bee trail as grass, and the bow from Love 'n Breakfast for the flamingos. How sweet is that pearl necklace?! The clouds from Bon Voyage look awesome, and these flamingos are perfect paper pieced!

GnomeSweetGnome-LeaLawson
Wow!! Lea's paper piecing has just blown me away! All of these papers are from our 6x6 Bright Side Petite Paper Pack, and they look so awesome! I love that both coloring and paper piecing look great with this set! Critters in the Forest helps create the scene, and that sun is just too perfect! Talk about smiles!

Start Every Morning With a Smile
Julie's bird bath scene is s wonderful! I have an instant smile just looking at it! I love how she paper pieced the bird bath and added fun music notes and hearts all around! The little tulips from Gnome Sweet Gnome are just perfect for this scene, and the Critters in the 'Burbs cat hanging with the bird is so sweet. The sentiment from Love 'n Breakfast goes perfectly!

Sunshine_0212_Full
Kim's card is so fun! I love how she stamped "sunshine" with Claire's ABCs to create a fun background! The paper pieced flamingo and cute punched grass just make me smile! Our new Lawn Trimmings hemp cord finishes off the card perfectly!

LawnFawn-gnometag-tish
Latisha's tag is so sweet! I love the layered collage style with the cute images! The gnome looks so sweet colored in and the popped up bees are adorable! The black gingham is the perfect touch. This would brighten up anyone's day!

CHAW_LF_LO_AH
Amy Heller was sweet enough to create this layout for our CHA booth. Isn't it gorgeous?! I love the chevron pattern she created and the way she cut flowers out of our Smell the Roses paper to create a custom embellishment. So sweet!

LawnFawn_BrightSidePaper-LeaLawson
Lea's card is absolutely gorgeous! I love how she used a doily and some gorgeous ribbon to vintage up the paper! I love how she cut out one of the circles from our Jump for Joy kraft paper. It looks fantastic!

Family-Photos---Layout
Melissa's layout is so cool! I absolutely adore the circles and the stitching. This is such a cool way to showcase a bunch of family photos! I also love how she put her title and journaling in the circles, too. So creative!

lawnfawnpaper
Latisha's card is so clean and cool! She used the 6x6 paper pack, and those smaller designs look so great on a card! I also just love those popped up circles! Her Many Thanks sentiment is just perfect with this awesome design!

barber.CHA.W12.A
I love pie, and I love Linda's layout! This is such a cool way to showcase a lot of photos. This idea is perfect for instagram photos, too! I love her stitching. It looks incredible! I also just love her long title. Our smaller alphabet stickers are perfect for this!

DSC_0281
Lynnette's card is so fun! This is such a cool way to use patterned paper scraps you might have laying around. This is also perfect for using those border punches we all love! Lynnette used the larger scale 12x12 papers on this card and it looks awesome! The Hello Friend sentiment is perfect here!

Chill_0212_Full
Kim's layout is so fun! I love how she cut along the chevron in our Silver Lining paper and the paper airplanes from Flying By look so cool with our Lawn Trimmings hemp cord as their trails! Quinn's ABCs is the perfect size for a layout title!

DSC_0289
Here is another card by Lynnette! It is a variation on the card above, and I just love it! Scallops, ribbon and a fun sentiment equals awesome!

Tiffany'sCatalogLayout
Tiffany's layout is so sweet! I absolutely love how she used the journaling cards in our Happy Thoughts paper as frames for her photos. This is such a great idea! Her title is such a cool combination of the Happy Thoughts paper and the small and large alphabet stickers. I just love how she left the centers in her letters, too!
