We are welcoming a special guest designer for this challenge! Mayra Duran-Hernandez creates gorgeous cards and crafty projects and we just love how she makes Lawn Fawn products shine! Be sure to check out her creativity on Instagram and her blog!

For her interactive project, Mayra didn’t stop at just one moving part! She created a pirate themed card using the Slide on Over Maze as a shaker for her card front. I love that she used the Stitched Pond to create the look of an island!

As the card opens the full picture comes to life with cute snapshots on the Pivot Pop-Up! There’s even a Lift the Flap Circle, I wonder if there’s a treasure under there!

This amazing card uses a ton of stamp sets and die sets, it’s clear that Mayra had a blast creating every component! Please check out her blog, Mayras Designs for all the details and the complete supply list!

Now let’s check in with our amazing Design Team!

Jessica‘s gorgeous card uses the Magic Picture Changer to create this amazing star-filled nighttime scene! This beautiful design features Upon a Star!

Samantha combined the Magic Iris and Magic Iris Add-On with You’re Just My Type to reveal a sweet hidden message! The additional mice are from Dandy Day and Love Poems!

Christy‘s beautiful shaker card features the Really High Five fox and mouse! She created the shakers from Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables! The lovely clouds in the background are inked with the Cloudy Stencil!

Joyce‘s beautiful Reveal Wheel is definitely no ordinary card! Her whimsical scene combines Peacock Before ‘n Afters with colorful mushrooms and happy little birds!

Samantha M joins us today to share a fun fold card using Lift the Flap! She has hidden a cute Critter Concert scene beneath the flap for a great interactive design!

This critter orchestra was colored using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers!

Samantha blended on Distress Inks to create that lovely rainbow of color! To add texture and dimension she added water and ink splatters!

Thanks so much for inspiring us today, Samantha! Your card is fantastic and so much fun!

We look forward to seeing your Fun Folds projects! This challenge is open until Sunday, August 5th at 11:59PM ET.
Happy Crafting from your friends at Lawn Fawnatics!

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.

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!
