Introducing New Design Team Members!

We are so excited to introduce 2 new members of the Lawn Fawnatics Design Team! Help us welcome Catherine Cohen and Mimi Lo! You can read all about these super-talented cardmakers and crafters at our Design Team page. We know they will inspire you with their creativity and be wonderful additions to our amazing team!

We are also saying good-bye to Caly who is leaving the Lawn Fawnatics Design Team for a new assignment with Lawn Fawn.

Now let’s see how our Design Team was inspired to create All Things Birthday!

Mimi created the most amazing birthday gift wrap in happy colors! She added fun images from Wild for You, Year Four, RAWRSOME, Simply Celebrate Summer and Offset Sayings: Birthday! She also included a cut bow in Holographic cardstock from Put a Bow on It, and a gift tag made with an ice cream cone from I Scream You Scream!

Catherine created a whole party with a “strawberry shortcake” theme! For the clever shaker invitation, she used Outside In Stitched Strawberry, Stitched Strawberry Frame and Strawberry Patch to carry the theme. She created “Strawberry Shortcake” with Bicycle Built for You, Berry Special and Special Delivery. There’s also “let’s party” from Party Animal along with Flirty Frames, and “date” and “address” from Plan On It and Plan On It: Appointments.

For the fantastic party decor, Catherine used more strawberry die sets along with Milk Carton, Cake Slice Box and Stitched Scalloped Cupcake Wrapper!

Aparrotly, Franci used our new Year Twelve set to feature on her adorable birthday card! An ink blended Snowy Backdrop makes for a cheery layer of color on this clean and simple design!

Joyce created the sweetest birthday card featuring You Goat This! The mini slimline card is the perfect size for this happy little party!

Samantha‘s birthday card is “on point” with the adorable cactus from Year Ten! She added lots of style to her simple design with ink blending and Lots of Hearts stenciling!

Jessica‘s legendary birthday card combines Lovable Legends with Giant Happy Birthday to You! This design is perfect for all those men on your birthday card list!

This charming card by Karin is simply adorable! She used Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables, Butterfly Kisses and a birthday greeting from Special Delivery Add-On.

It’s birthday party time in the aquarium! Samantha created this cute card using Fintastic Friends, Party Animal and Virtual Friends Add-On. I love how she added the Ocean Wave Border and Outside In Stitched Thought Bubbles to enhance the underwater theme!

Christy‘s gorgeous card wishes a berry happy birthday with a cute Berry Special scene! The pretty patterned papers in the background are from Flower Market!

Jenn got creative and made a set of cards to give as a gift! They are beautifully made using Clover Background Stencils and Giant Thank You! They will be great for sending a special thank you for all the birthday gifts!

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 119 – Card Sketch tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!

We have invited Mona Toth to join us as our Guest Designer for this challenge! Her bright and cheerful designs are favorites with cardmakers on Instagram and we knew she would make something amazing for this challenge!

Mona created a totally brilliant infinity style party invitation! Each time the card is unfolded it opens to another fabulous scene with more to the invitation!

Mona embellished her infinity card with many underwater classics like Mermaid for You, You are Sublime, Octopi my Heart and So Jelly along with Quinn’s Capital ABCs dies.

Infinity card designs can be a little tricky to make so Mona made a video tutorial to show you how to create one! You can check it out at her YouTube channel.

Now let’s check out the fabulous Perfect for Parties projects by our amazing Design Team!

Grace‘s adorable picnic party decor is perfect for celebrating summer! She customized the Cake Slice Box with a mix of green and red patterned papers to create the fun watermelon treat boxes! Then she used a much loved older mini set, Happy Summer to make watermelon cupcake toppers and to decorate the Scalloped Treat Box and a sweet little note!

Christy has a new puppy to love so she made a super fun treat box for Gemma‘s new friends! She used the Milk Carton die set along with cute pups from Critters at the Dog Park and Say What? Pets! She decorated the milk carton box with elements from Scalloped Treat Box Spring House Add-On!

Samantha is celebrating her son’s graduation from 5th grade and that’s a pretty big occasion! She made these totally cool straws for the party using Outside In Stitched Cloud Stackables and Stitched Cloud Frames along with the paper airplane from Plane and Simple and a fun sentiment from Party Animal on a Fancy Wavy Banner!

Jessica created these super cute Tiny Gift Boxes for her music students to celebrate the end of year recital! The gift boxes are decorated with images from Critter Concert and Little Music Notes!

Joyce used Goodie Bag and a Stitched Gift Card Pocket to make a super adorable birthday gift bag! She used Gingham Backdrops to add some cute pattern to the box, then she filled the pocket with little bears from For You, Deer!

What is better for a summer party than yummy strawberry pie! Samantha created the perfect pie treat box using Cake Slice Box and the new new Stitched Cupcake die set!

Karin made a sweet card and gift box set for a new baby baptism party! She used the darling bunnies and greeting from Hello Baby with a Lacy Heart and Outside In Stitched Heart Stackable on the card! She added another cute bunny to the Heart Treat Box!

Franci‘s charming Tiny Gift Box Cat Add-On box would be perfect to celebrate a new kitten in the family! They would be so cute filled with candy or maybe a treat to share with a special kitty!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll share our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 53 tomorrow!
