Catherine was inspired by a Christmas card that Marine created for the introduction to Ugly and Bright! She put her own spin on the original by changing the season, creating an amazing beachy, summer design!


In addition to the Ugly and Bright bear, Catherine featured bears from Snow Much Fun and Den Sweet Den! I love the little sleeping bear getting some sun on the sandy beach! She created the beach scene with Stitched Wave Borders, Hammock and Trees and Stitched Hillside Borders. Then she added Sandy Beach Accents and more beachy cuteness with On the Beach and Beachy Christmas. The bear is wearing a bucket hat from Dad + Me and the luggage is found in Car Critters Road Trip Add-On!


She used Reveal Wheel and clear acetate to make the spinning wheel of summer t-shirts! As the wheel turns the bear changes his outfit! So clever!


Catherine used the plain sweater from Ugly and Bright for the summer t-shirts. She stamped a hibiscus from Toucan Do It on one and the island from Plan on It on another one. The third t-shirt is paper-pieced using Gummy Bears paper.


And here is Marine’s brilliant Christmas card that inspired Catherine’s amazing summer-themed interactive card!

I love your amazing card, Catherine! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

A Fun Magic Iris Card with our Guest Designer, Nancy!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

It’s almost time to celebrate our new Fall & Winter Release! We can’t wait to show you all the fun new products we have coming out soon! Join us at the Lawn Fawn blog for our Big Giveaway Post on Wednesday, September 2!

Our talented Guest Designer, Nancy is back with more awesome inspiration for our Make the Sentiment the Star challenge! Her awesome Magic Iris card has a relaxing theme!

Nancy created an amazing interactive Magic Iris card to celebrate a retirement! I think relaxing on the beach would be first on my list of things to do upon retiring from work!

Let’s let Nancy share about her idea for this card:

I wanted to have a larger scene to build on so I ended up using the Magic Iris Add-On and turned it into landscape style.

Since I made the clouds with white paint I used the Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink to stamp the first sentiment. With this ink you don’t smear the ink on your panel but it stays crisp and black.

I always make bold and bright cards and make use of the space there is on a project. I also love to use different stamps of Lawn Fawn together. Old, new or different seasons it all goes so well together, always! I just love Lawn Fawn so much!

Nancy combined images from Butterfly Kisses, On the Beach, Really High Five, Ahoy Matey and Keep On Swimming along with palms from Hammock and Trees and Palm Trees die sets. She hid part of the sentiment inside the iris and then she finished the sentiment with Oliver’s Stitched ABCs!



Thank you so much for being an awesome Guest Designer, Nancy! Your projects for this challenge have been so brilliant!

You have one more week to enter this challenge. The Make the Sentiment the Star challenge will close at 11:59PM ET on Sunday September 6. We are looking forward to seeing your creative take on this challenge!
