Jessica’s Critter Concert Shadow Box Card!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Good morning! Jess here with an interactive card for our current Fun Folds challenge!

As a career musician I simply cannot get over the cuteness of the Critter Concert stamp set. I’ve been using it to create cards for all of my musical friends and students and this card was made with a particular french horn-playing student in mind.

To start I stamped a bunch of critters from Critter Concert with Copic-friendly ink and colored them with Copic markers before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies. I also die-cut some of the elements from Little Music Notes with Black Licorice and Chili Pepper cardstock. I also die-cut the Shadow Box Card and Shadow Box Theater Add-on with Black Licorice cardstock and Knock on Wood patterned paper.

As I assembled my shadow box I tucked lots of hidden elements on the sides and back of the box. If you tilt the box to look “behind” the curtain you’ll see more musician critters and music notes. And of course my fox takes center stage with his french horn. Finally I added a panel with some music note embellishments onto the back of the box so I could write a message to the birthday girl!

And that’s it! You have two more weeks to experiment with your fun folds! I can’t wait to see what you create! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

Our Fun Folds Challenge will be open until August 5 at 11:59PM ET. This is a 3 week challenge so you have plenty of time get creative!

Samantha’s Critter Concert Card!

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a fun card showcasing a few products from the new Lawn Fawn release! I really wanted to create a celebratory card that could be used for different life events or occasions.

I used the Everyday Pop-Ups Lawn Cuts to create the platform stages for my Critter Concert music performers. I have a tendency to focus more on designing the front of my cards and the inside will have a sentiment with a little complimentary design element. The Everyday Pop-Ups Lawn Cuts allows you to carry the design throughout your card and will give the recipient an additional surprise on the inside!

I adhered the critters with thin adhesive foam dots to create a slight dimension, but not too thick because I wanted my card to still close with ease. The Little Music Notes Lawn Cuts were the perfect backdrop for the little concert. I added pom-pom trim and rhinestones to embellish my scene.

Please be sure to check out the current Cards for Guys challenge! There’s lots of wonderful inspiration from the Design Team and the current participants!

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful day!
