Mimi’s Fun Lift the Flap Inspiration

- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

We hope you are having fun with new Change the Scene challenge! It is a 3-week challenge that will be open until Sunday, September 4th at 11:59PM ET.

All of the auto specialties, mechanics, tire store and car wash, are really busy in Mimi‘s brilliant lift the flap card! When you open the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps windows, you get a glimpse of the activity at each business!

Mimi inked a pretty backdrop on the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps panel before she decorated each flap with a fun car theme! She combined Home for the Holidays cars, Smooth Sailing critters and Village Heroes fire station. She altered the little car to become the tow truck, adding the hook from Booyah and the package strings from Special Delivery Add-On. So clever!

Under the flaps you get a close up inside the tire store, the mechanics shop and the car wash! For this larger view she used the Car Critters car and critters from Berry Special, Scootin’ By and Merry Mice. To create the car wash, Mimi used the rolling pin from Baked with Love and the branch from Frosty Fairy Friends, how clever is that! Check out the supply list below for more images used in clever ways!

Thank you so much for inspiring us with this brilliant Change the Scene card, Mimi!

- Nancy Krueger 10 Comments

Welcome to a new Lawn Fawnatics challenge! This time let’s “Make the Sentiment the Star”! Create a custom sentiment using stamps or dies, use our Giant sentiments or sentiment borders…just have fun while you get creative with your sentiment!

We invite 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, November 14th 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!

Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Jessica‘s brilliant design features Giant Let it Snow cut from silver glitter cardstock! She made it stand out by layering it on another die cut in Peacock! For the background, she stenciled Snowflake Background Stencils with Pearl Stencil Paste on Let it Shine Snowflakes 6×6 paper! The she added even more frosty fun with Stitched Snowflakes!

Samantha created a fun interactive design that fits perfectly with the Oliver’s Stitched ABCs sentiment! She added the “zoomin'” critter to a strip of acetate that she secured to the Grassy Border with a brad. As the card is tilted the little fox scoots by!

A super fun way to make the sentiment special is to add it to a fun die cut element! Here, Karin stamped the Magic Messages birthday greeting on an Outside In Stitched Balloon! She finished her card with Cloudy Stencils, Spring Sprig flowers and some cute Dandy Day critters!

Samantha‘s Fall themed card is all about the Giant Sending Big Hugs greeting! She added leaves from You Autumn Know and a happy critter from Snow Much Fun!

Christy created a super fun and punny Finley’s ABCs custom sentiment! It’s the perfect greeting for her charming Merry Mice scene! For the background she continued her color story with a Peppermint Stripes Backdrop!

Franci started her delightful pair of cards with a sentiment from Merry Messages! A sweet image from Snow Globe Scenes carries on the holiday theme along with the Let it Shine Snowflakes paper. For some extra detail, she used Stitched Borders on the white panel.

Joyce spelled out Santa’s famous chuckle in Oliver’s Stitched ABCs for her special design! She used images from Ho-Ho-Holidays and Holiday Helpers in this happy scene!

Caly‘s birthday card is absolutely delightful! She paired Giant Happy Birthday with some cute party-goers from Tiny Birthday Friends!

I hope you have been inspired by these amazing projects! We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 111 – Coffee, Tea & Treats tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!
