Samantha’s Critters in the Wild Card!

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

You are invited to join us for Fawny Holiday Week! It’s our annual holiday party at the Lawn Fawn blog! All of our Design Teams will be sharing amazing holiday inspiration, and we will have videos and daily giveaways! There may even a surprise, too! Fawny Holiday Week starts on Monday, November 11 and we can’t wait!

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a card that is inspired by the current Lawn Fawnatics Cards for Guys Challenge. One of my favorite techniques for masculine cards is stamping and coloring on kraft cardstock because it immediately gives a warm and rustic feel to your project. I combined the moose from Critters in the Arctic with the bear and bird from Love You S’more!

I created the sky by blending different Distress Oxide ink colors together. I layered the Stitched Mountain Borders on top of the sky of dimension. I die cut the Meadow Border from Sage Leaf cardstock and added some individual grass from the Dad + Me coordinating die set. For additional depth, I added foam squares under my stamped images. Just by adding dimension to your project, any scene you create really comes to life.

 There is still plenty of time to enter the Cards for Guys Challenge! The challenge is open until Sunday, November 17 11:59PM ET. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Have a happy crafty weekend!

A Hoppy Birthday Card by Christy!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Hey friends, it’s Christy with a fun Fall-ish birthday card for you today. Our current Something Old, Something New challenge is to combine some older Lawn Fawn products with newer ones, which is one of my favorite things to do! Lawn Fawn makes it so easy, because their images are designed to work so well together!

I’ve had today’s card concept in mind for quite some time now. When my boys were in preschool, they used to sing this counting song about little speckled frogs sitting on a log, until one by one they jump into the “pool where it was nice and cool.” It always made me smile so big to hear them sing it, and now I’ve finally translated it into card form. 😉

I started with Toadally Awesome and threw in a few leaves from Jump for Joy, stamping out my images and coloring them with Copic markers before trimming them out with the matching dies.

One of my favorite craft supplies is patterned paper, and I wanted to highlight that in my scenery today, so I used an older Watercolor Wishes pattern for my sky, and then added grass and the pond with the brand-new Knit-Picky Fall. I used the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables to trim off an 1/8” border and add that great stitching detail. For the grass I used Grassy Borders and Meadow Borders, and a Simple Stitched Hillside Border for the pond.

I added my images to the focal panel, stamped the sentiment in Walnut ink, and popped it up with foam tape over another Knit Picky Fall print that kind of brings all the colors together. I also finished off the inside with an additional sentiment and a few more images stamped in Noble Fir.

If you want to see how this card came together, you can check out the video on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. And don’t forget you still have time to enter our Something Old, Something New Challenge! It will be open until Sunday, September 30th at 11:59PM ET. I can’t wait to see what products you combine!

Happy Crafting! Have an awesome weekend, Fawnatics Friends!
