Christy’s Critter-filled Birthday Scene

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

We can’t wait to see your creative Create a Scene projects! This challenge will be open until Sunday, May 2 at 11:59PM ET. Have fun!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Create a Scene Challenge! Scene cards are some of my most favorite cards to make. I love combining Lawn Fawn sets to create a little story, and I combined a whole bunch on this one!

The star of the show is the hippo from Year Four. It’s his birthday and his friends have thrown him a party! I pulled images from Year Two, Critters in the Jungle, Chit Chat, A Bug Deal, Toadally Awesome, Bicycle Built for You, and Party Animal. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

To build my background I die cut the frame from Bayou Backdrop from some Noble Fir cardstock, the pond from Mermaid, and the Grassy Border from Cilantro. I added some waves  in the pond with the Ocean Wave Accents and slipped the hippo into the largest one. I glued the grassy panel first to my Sticky Note card base, then added the pond with the hippo, then the frame. Then I adhered the rest of my images to complete the scene.

I added an Everyday Sentiment Banner stamped with Plastic Flamingo ink, and finished off the card with a little Stardust Stickles.

I also finished off the inside with another party guest stamped in Sunflower ink. You can check that out in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

If you haven’t had a chance to play along in our Create a Scene challenge yet, there’s still time! I can’t wait to see what you create!

Hello Fawnatics friends! Welcome to another fun challenge! For this challenge let’s make projects with a baby theme, as we anticipate the arrival of the new Fawnie!

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 31st 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!

Caly used Little Bundle to create an all-over pattern of cute little baby clothes on her card! She used Scripty Congrats as her greeting!

Joyce used an adorable older set, Plus One to create her beautiful card! She framed the nighttime scene with Puffy Cloud Borders!

Christy‘s card is so adorable and perfect to welcome Kelly’s baby boy when he arrives! She combined Wild for You with scene building images from Critters in the Jungle! The sweet sentiment is from Hello Baby.

Karin also used the sweet critters from Wild for You to create the cutest clean and simple design! She included some cute toys from Rub-A-Dub-Dub, too! I love how she die cut the Oliver’s Stitched ABCs letters from metallic gold cardstock!

Samantha used the umbrella and raindrops from Plus One to create this sweet slimline baby shower card! She trimmed the top with Puffy Cloud Borders and added a Grassy Border on the bottom of this happy design!

Franci‘s card is so charming featuring the Little Bundle clothesline! Cute little baby necessities are popped up on the line and a sweet sentiment and cute birds finish this adorable design!

RAWRSOME and Just Stitching Hearts are a sweet combination on Samantha‘s clever card! She used a sentiment from Hello Baby!

I made a little card for Kelly using Lawn Fawn’s first and one of my favorite baby sets, Plus One! I added the sentiment on a Bannertastic banner and framed the cute stork with a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Window.

Jenn‘s adorable welcome baby card set is quick and easy to make! It even includes a design for twins to double the fun! She used Quilted Backdrop to add sweetness then she added Oliver’s Stitched ABCs and cute little love bugs from Bugs and Kisses! This is a versatile design, just change the colors for a boy or girl!

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 76 tomorrow!
