Special Dies Only Guest Inspiration from Lawn Fawn HQ!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments


You are invited to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies, stencils and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, June 2 at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry to receive a $50.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! Everyone who enters a challenge has a chance to be the random drawing winner! Woohoo!

We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges, you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN, so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

I asked two of my co-workers from Lawn Fawn HQ to create Dies Only inspiration for you! Allison and Chari took the challenge and created fun Build-A-Drink cards!


Allison runs on Diet Coke, so it’s only natural that she would create an ice-cold glass of her favorite drink! She used Build-A-Drink, adding vellum “ice cubes” and a pink straw! Then she popped up the drink on a Quilted Star Backdrop in Blue Jay layered over holographic cardstock!


Allison added a fun sentiment by combining Riley’s ABCs letters stamped on an Everyday Sentiment Banner and Cole’s ABCs. She must love this card recipient a lot!


Chari’s mini slimline card features a delicious orange-vanilla soda on a Build-A-Drink Mason Add-On! She loves this drink and says it tastes like an orange Creamsicle! Sounds yummy! She used new Pint-Sized Patterns Summertime papers for the background, stamping her Treat Cart sentiment directly on the backdrop.


Then Chari brought in the fizzy foam from Build-A-Drink Root Beer Add-On. She also used the straw from Mason Jar Add-On and the ice cubes and citrus slice from the original Build-A-Drink Lawn Cuts set!

Big thanks to Allison and Chari for sharing their clever and creative cards today! I hope everyone is inspired!

Karin’s Gorgeous Watercolor Inspiration!

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

We hope you are having fun with the Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song challenge and we can’t wait to see your creativity! This is the last weekend for this challenge which will be open until this Sunday, April 3 at 11:59PM ET. We will be back on Monday, April 4th with another fun challenge theme!

But first, Karin has some gorgeous inspiration for you based on the children’s book, Will You Be My Friend!

With her amazing watercolor skills, Karin beautifully recreated the lovely cover illustration from the book. She used images from Eggstra Amazing Easter for the two sweet bunnies! To make images look like the storybook, she stamped them with Antique Linen Distress Ink before coloring them with watercolors. Then she sketched in the outline with a thin pen afterward.

For the book title, Karin used Cole’s ABCs cut from watercolor paper. She colored the letters and adhered them to the panel. Then she ran the card panel through her die-cutting machine to press the letters into the background leaving them just slightly raised. Such a clever idea!

Thank you so much Karin for sharing with us today! Your card is so amazing!

Happy crafting!
