Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 49 – CASE Yourself

- Nancy Krueger 16 Comments

Wow! How do we follow up after our last challenge got so much buzz? For this new challenge we want you to be inspired by…YOU! For those who may be wondering what CASE means, it stands for “copy and selectively edit”.  So to CASE yourself, choose a favorite project and remake it in a new way; or let a design that you want to improve upon inspire you! However you choose just let us see the original project along with the remake! Your projects should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will be open until Sunday, March 31 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!

Now let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired to CASE themselves!

Franci made a card that features Hay There in an Outside In Stitched Heart based on her Winter Otter card design!

Karin recreated her cute penguin and Tiny Tag birthday card using Wild for You and a different shape of Tiny Tag!

Samantha C kept her magic in a jar theme with How You Bean? by switching out the Fairy Friends for our new Oh Gnome! set and a our older Gnome Sweet Gnome!

For her Chirpy Chirp Chirp remake, Joyce substituted bright, bold colors for the original soft pastel color palette!

Grace altered her colorful original Let’s Toast design by adding some white embossing on acetate and featuring Oh Gnome! with Scripty Thanks!

Christy brought her mini scene out of the ocean and into the meadow with Butterfly Kisses and swapped the patterned papers for Spring Fling!

Samantha M recreated her card set from April 2018 by swapping out the Gleeful Gardens hummingbird for a sweet Fairy Friend!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and of course we’ll share our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 48 tomorrow!


A Clever Rainbow Card by Marine!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

We are so happy to have our Guest Designer, Marine Simon, back to share another amazing card project for our current challenge, What’s the Weather?! This challenge will be open until Sunday, March 3 at 11:59PM ET.

To make the oversized umbrella, Marine used the largest hot air balloon from Blue Skies and modified to look like an umbrella! She colored the umbrella with rainbow colors then stamped the water-drops from Gnome Sweet Gnome in coordinating colors to make it the colorful raindrops!

To complete this fabulous card, Marine added a pair of bunnies from Some Bunny holding onto the umbrella! If the umbrella handle looks familiar it’s because it’s the lantern hanger from Fairy Friends, I love how Marine uses images so creatively! The sentiment from Starry Backdrops is curved to fit the shape of the umbrella and white embossed to pop against the watercolor sky!

Thank you so much for inspiring us today with this totally charming card, Marine! We are so happy that you joined us as a Guest Designer for this challenge!

Be sure to check out Marine’s blog, Blue Marine Craft, her Instagram and her YouTube channel!

You can find Marine on Instagram, YouTube and at her blog Blue Marine Craft! We know her awesome creativity will inspire you!

Marine‘s card is filled with sunny, glittery goodness! She started with a Stitched Cloud Backdrop and added a Copic colored Rainbow sprinkled with Chunky Glitter! The clouds (complete with silver linings) are from Blue Skies and the sun is from Out of This World! She finished this amazing card with a sentiment from Life is Good and scattered some stamped sparkle from Fairy Friends!

And now our amazing Design Team is here to inspire your creativity!

Who wouldn’t have an awesome day with this colorful sky up above! Samantha painted a rainbow of color then added images from Out of This World and Plane and Simple! The awesome sentiment is from Critter Concert! Check out the close up to see the cute glittery freckles on the faces of the clouds and sun!

Every bunny knows you need some Spring showers to make those yummy carrots grow! Joyce‘s sweet scene combines cuteness from Some Bunny, Upon a Star, and Plus One!

The weather forecast for Christy‘s card is clear with a chance of gnomes! She used our soon-to-be-released Oh Gnome! set combined with Gleeful Gardens, Bicycle Built for You and Gnome Sweet Gnome!

Jessica is a winter-loving girl so her extraordinary card has a gorgeous snowflake-filled night sky! The silver glitter Stitched Hillside adds to the frosty landscape for the scarf-wearing critter from Winter Skies! Ironically, the silver embossed sentiment is from our summer themed set, Life is Good!

Karin went with a snow theme as well, creating a sweet shaker card with frosty white sequins! She used Winter Skies and a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame!

Samantha‘s super cute and whimsical card features our little RAWR dino jumping in puddles after the rain! She used the soon-to-be-released set Rain or Shine Before ‘n Afters on her amazing sky background!

Grace‘s card has our Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks frolicking in the rain and the sunshine! Her custom Reveal Wheel card spins from sprinkles to sun rays!

Here’s a peek behind the scenes of Grace‘s customized Reveal Wheel card.

Franci used Finley’s ABCs to spell out her adorable weather-themed sentiment on the outside and inside of her fabulous card! She used our soon-to-be-released Llama Tell You mini set to add a total cuteness factor!

Jenn‘s cheerful card features a watercolor sky on a Stitched Cloud Backdrop! She added more clouds with Simple Puffy Clouds and sunny color with our Rainbow die! For the greeting she combined a phrase from Simply Sentiments with a hello from Yay, Kites!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and of course we’ll share our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 46 tomorrow!
