Karin‘s beautiful monogram design combines Lacy Heart Stackables, Cole’s ABCs and a vine and hearts from Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On. She inked and stenciled background then added white and gold splatters, finally framing everything with a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame!

Christy‘s absolutely gorgeous card says Autumn loud and clear! She used lots of new sets, You Autumn Know, Scripty Autumn Sentiments and Fall Leaves Background Stencils to create the feeling of Fall! She brought in the challenge theme with Thanks a Latte mugs filled with steaming coffee and cocoa!

Franci‘s pair of cards feature a charming mix of Love You a Latte and Snow Day bunnies along with Milk and Cookies! I love the diagonal stripes of the Let it Shine paper framing the collage panels!

Samantha‘s treats have a decidedly Halloween theme! Her fantastic scene features Fox Costumes Before ‘n Afters with images from Purrfectly Wicked, Purrfectly Wicked Add-On and treats from A Creature Was Stirring! The Bayou Backdrop in purple glitter cardstock creates lots of spooky vibes!

I love how Karin paired the Den Sweet Den bear with the cookie and jar from Milk and Cookies! The steaming hot beverage looks so cute in this sweet little scene!

What is better than enjoying a cup of hot chocolate on Christmas morning? These cute kids are happy and cozy on the sofa by the Joy to All Christmas tree! Joyce included the family cat in the fun in this happy scene!

Samantha‘s shaker card is so clever! She used Outside In Stitched Mug and Stitched Mug Frame and filled the shaker with cocoa-color sequins and snowflakes! The adorable little marshmallows add to the fun! The cool peppermint stripe background was created using Simple Stripes: Diagonal!

Caly‘s cheery design features Thanks a Latte mugs in a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Window! The Let it Shine Snowflakes papers add to the frosty fun of this gorgeous card!

Jenn is sending sweet encourage-mint with our new How You Bean? Mint Add-On and a Lovely Latte paper-pieced mug! I love the pretty minty green and brown color combo that she carried out with Cracked Pistachio Oxide ink and Chocolate Bar cardstock! The Quilted Backdrop lets a little more minty green peek through while the Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop grounds the vignette!

The Cat in the Hat with Samantha!

- Nancy Krueger 6 Comments

Be sure to join us the Lawn Fawn blog for Inspiration Week, March 11 – 19!

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a card that is inspired by the current Inspired By a Book, Movie or Song challenge! Growing up I loved all Dr. Seuss books, the bright colors and illustrations were always fun to look at. The stories and how they were written always brightened my day. They always had a positive message, so I wanted to make an encouragement card with characters from the Cat in the Hat. 

In order to create my Dr. Seuss inspired characters, I needed to pair a whole bunch of stamp sets together. The proportion of the cat head, from the Meow You Doin’ stamp set, fit perfectly on the bunny body from the Eggstra Amazing Easter stamp set. I used the top hat from the Bicycle Built for You stamp set, and extended it to be taller and more whimsical.  The cookie jar, from the Milk and Cookies stamp, set was the perfect shape for the fish bowl. I used a pen to draw lines to replicate the illustration style in the Dr. Seuss books. By adding the linework, it really helped bring the characters to life. 

I just love this challenge so much. The design team and current entries are so much fun and so inspiring. You still have time to enter the Inspired By a Book, Movie or Song challenge! The challenge will be open until Sunday March 15th at 11:59PM ET. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Wishing our Fawnatics friends a happy and crafty weekend!
