Christy’s Cute New Baby Card

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Hey everyone, it’s Christy here with a sweet baby shower card for our What’s the Weather Challenge. One of my co-workers is about to become a first-time grandma, and she loves elephants for baby girls, so I combined a couple of sets to create her a congratulations card with that theme.

I started by stamping out the mama elephant from Wild for You, the baby elephant from Elphie Selfie, and the umbrella and rattle from Hello Baby. I colored them in Copic markers using a soft color palette of warm gray, pink, and mint. Then I trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I die cut a Stitched Circle Stackable and sponged on some distress ink using a stencil to create some pale gray clouds and a little patch of grass. I added a sentiment and a few raindrops from Hello Baby as well. I layered this onto a Fancy Scalloped Circle Stackable to give it that delicate eyelet-looking edge.

I layered some patterned papers over my card base, die cutting the largest with a Stitched Rectangle Stackable, and used the Stitched Party Banner to selectively die cut a flag end on my banner. I popped the focal panel up with foam tape for a little dimension and added some white gel pen polka dots to the rattle and umbrella as a finishing touch.

If you’d like to see how this card came together, check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. There’s still plenty of time to enter our What’s the Weather Challenge! I can’t wait to see what you create!

Our What’s the Weather challenge will be open until Sunday, March 3 at 11:59PM ET. We hope you will join us!
Have an awesome weekend, Fawnatics friends!
Happy Crafting!

A Snowy Pop-Up Scene with a Glowing Street Lamp by Jessica

Good morning!  Jess here with a card for our Create a Scene challenge!  When I think of Lawn Fawn I always think of scene cards because there are so many fun ways to use their stamps and dies to create seasonal scenes, underwater scenes, holiday scenes, and more!  Today I decided to create a snowy Christmas scene!

I started by stamping the adorable penguins from Here We Go A-Waddling with Copic friendly ink, coloring them with Copic markers, and die-cutting them with the coordinating dies.

Next I die-cut all of the components of the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up using white cardstock and the Perfectly Plaid Chill Collection pack in Om and Take Ten.  I also blended chipped sapphire and peacock feathers distress ink onto a piece of watercolor paper and die-cut it with one of the stitched panels to create the background for my scene.  I stamped the sentiment onto the stitched panel and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  I also die-cut the Forest Border with white cardstock to add some dimension to my scene and die-cut the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders with white cardstock to create snowy banks for my singing penguins.  Finally I die-cut the Mini Stitched Snowflakes with silver glitter cardstock.

Next I decided to light up my streetlight with an LED sticker.  I built up a circuit on a second die-cut lantern and then adhered it to the back of the Copic-colored lantern.

I created the circuit with space to insert a tab of cardstock so that I could break the circuit and conserve the battery for mailing.


Finally it was time to build my scene.  I adhered the stitched hillside dies to the panels inside the shadow box and adhered the forest border to the background panel.  I adhered all the penguins and the lantern with ATG adhesive and then added a few snowflakes to the shadow box.  To finish the card I added a few snowflakes to strips of acetate and adhered those to the back of the hillside borders to create the illusion of falling snow!

And that’s it!  You’ve got one more weekend to get crafty and create some fun scenes for our challenge!  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic day!
