Hi Friends, Samantha here! What’s better than a summer campout with good friends and good s’mores? These squirrels are having the time of their lives!


All of the images from S’more the Merrier, Let’s Go Nuts and Critters in the Forest were stamped with Jet Black ink and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I added some details to the images with a white gel pen! I used Distress Inks in greens to add color to the hills and grass that were die cut from white cardstock.


I used Distress Inks to ink blend the night sky, too. Then I splattered some white acrylic ink and gold paint on top to mimic stars! The sentiment was heat embossed in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock. I popped a few of the squirrels up with foam tape for some dimension! My favorite squirrel is that one peeking out from behind the trees with a few marshmallows! Sneaky little guy! Lol!

Thank you so much for inspiring us with this super cute card, Samantha!

Franci’s Critters in the Forest Scene!

Franci joins us to share a super fun forest scene for our Create a Scene challenge!

Franci’s happy scene features one of our classic sets, Critters in the Forest! She added some clouds from Butterfly Kisses and used the speech bubble from Oh Gnome! to add the cute sentiment!

For the background, Franci blended Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon and Broken China Distress ink. She added detail with a Stitched Border along the bottom of her scene!

Thank you for sharing this adorable inspiration with us today, Franci!

The Create a Scene challenge will be open until Sunday, June 14th at 11:59PM ET. We hope you will join the fun and create a cute Lawn Fawn scene!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 76 – Anything But a Card!

Hello Fawnatics friends! It’s time to kick off May with a new challenge! We have all been making lots of cards lately to send encouragement and smiles so for this challenge we would like you to make anything but a card! Make a mixed media journal page, Bible journal, a scrapbook layout, a gift or favor box! The sky is the limit as long as it’s not a card!

We would love for you to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, May 17th at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry 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!

So let’s see how the Design Team was inspired by this new challenge!

Samantha M. is a talented scrapbooker and this layout sure proves it! She combined Outside In Stitched Cloud Stackables, Stitched Cloud Frames and Starry Backdrops stamps with some fun stenciled texture! The title is Oliver’s Stitched ABCs!

I love how Samantha C combined the cute Really High Five critters jumping on their trampoline with the Scalloped Treat Spring House Add-On! Such a fun 3D scene!

Franci‘s “Anything But a Card” project is an adorable stack of Tiny Gift Boxes! She decorated them with the cute little bow included in the die set then she added the happy ducks from Rub-A-Dub-Dub! These would be so cute for a baby shower!

Jessica made sweet little Pillow Box thank you gifts! She used Hello Sunshine Remix papers and added a gorgeous Layered Butterfly on each one! The sentiment on the little tag is from Reveal Wheel Sentiments!

Karin‘s Heart Treat Boxes are a delightful design with a pop of color! The Chili Pepper red boxes are decorated with a little cutie from A Bug Deal on an ink blended heart!

The pastel colors of Joyce‘s beach house treat box give a sun-washed beachy vibe! It’s perfect for summer gift giving!

I love when the older sets come out to play! Christy decorated her Woodgrain Goodie Bag with a sweet little Critters in the Forest vignette! She framed the circle scene with a Scalloped Circle of Fall Fling paper!

Caly‘s treat box is a Spring House Add-On design complete with charming accents of a picket fence and pretty flower-filled window boxes!

I want to get in on the fun of this challenge, too! I decorated a Hello Sunshine Remix Mini Notebook using Outside In Stitched Cloud Stackables! The label combines Riley’s ABCs in rainbow ink colors along with a sentiment from Happy Harvest. I used the cute smileys from Reveal Wheel Circle Sentiments to add some whimsy and tied on some Mermaid’s Lagoon Sparkle cord.



We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 75 tomorrow!
