Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 33 – Fun Folds!

- Nancy Krueger 12 Comments

Hello Fawnatics Friends! It’s time for a new challenge to get those creative juices flowing! This time we are looking for projects with “fun folds”! Use the tried and true tri-fold, gate-fold and Z-fold or use a Lawn Fawn die to create a box, pop-up, flap or envelope. Anything with a fun fold is fair game this time! This challenge will run for 3 weeks and will be open until Sunday August 5th at 11:59PM ET.
For each challenge, we will randomly select a winner to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! 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!

And now we are so happy to welcome Mona Tóth as our Guest Designer for this challenge! She has been inspiring us with her gorgeous projects filled with amazing color and creativity! You can find her on Instagram as @mona.toth and at her blog! Now let’s check out her fabulous Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up!

Mona used the score lines provided by the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up to put together this amazing You Are Sublime ocean scene! She replaced the front of the box with an acetate panel to create a view under the water!

She used more acetate as strips to suspend the fish so they appear to be swimming about!

I love Mona’s attention to detail! She added the little smart phone from Elphie Selfie so the scuba diver can document his undersea adventure!

Jessica used the flaps included in Peekaboo Backdrop as her fun fold element! This Beam Me Up card is a nod to the X-Files!

She added the tag line from the show white heat-embossed on the shaker window using Milo’s ABCs.

Open the flap for the surprise birthday greeting! This card is just so fun!

Christy‘s fantastic Jurassic Park themed card features Critters from the Past in a Z-fold design to make an extended scene! She used Stitched Mountain Borders as a background!

Samantha’s sweet Scalloped Treat Box includes a clever Stitched Gift Card Pocket! Her One in a Chameleon critter has a rainbow of color!

Karin added a Lift the Flap fold to her pretty in pink card!

Inside is a sweet Rub-A-Dub-Dub surprise scene!

Samantha had the same idea to hide some Screen Time cuteness under the flap!

She added a little nod to Super Mario Brothers with the little mushroom from Gnome Sweet Gnome!

Franci is dreaming of Christmas in July with her charming Scalloped Treat Box decorated with Winter House Add-On!

Joyce used a variety of Lawn Fawn cardstock to create a sweet Woodland Critter Huggers Goodie Bag!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next three weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 32 tomorrow!

Samantha’s Critters from the Past Thanksgiving Card!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments
Challenge 16 will be open until Sunday November, 19th at 11:59 PM PT

Hey everyone Samantha here! Today I am sharing a Critters from the Past Thanksgiving-themed card that is inspired by the current Lawn Fawnatics “Use Your Oldest Lawn Fawn Set” Challenge!

For my card I decided to interpret the challenge a little differently. Since dinosaurs are prehistoric I decided to use them as my “oldest” set. I used Holiday Party Animal to accessorize the dinosaurs with pilgrim hats and the T-Rex is proudly holding a bite size apple pie. The leaves have changed color to highlight the season. I love mixing different sets together, the scale and proportion always seem to work perfectly!

There is still time to enter the Lawn Fawnatics “Use Your Oldest Lawn Fawn Set” Challenge, please check out the design team inspiration and be sure to submit your project! Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful day!
