Catherine’s Magical Platform Pop-Up Birthday Card

We invite you to join us for our current All Things Birthday Challenge! It will be open until Sunday, March 20th at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see your creative birthday ideas! Think outside the birthday card box and show us some fun party decorations, gifts and gift packaging.

Hello Fawnies! It’s Catherine here and I am sharing a card created for the All Things Birthday Challenge inspired by magic.

For the Platform Pop-Up Add-On background, I ink blended Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Ink and splattered some gold metallic ink. The Platform Pop-Up was created out of cardstock from the Let It Shine Collection Pack and Woodgrain Cardstock in dark brown.

I added stage curtains and stars from the Shadow Box Card Theatre Add-On die cut with Chili Pepper and Sunflower Cardstock.  The magician, hat, and cape are from the Bicycle Built for You set. I drew a line with a multi-liner on the veil to make it into a cape and added a bowtie from Scent with Love. I put the finishing touches on the magician with a magic wand from Critter Concert and a stool from Merry Mice.

I borrowed the cute bunny from Say What? Spring Critters and put him inside a hat from Hats Off to You. I finished off the card with white heat embossed sentiments from Wavy Sayings and Tiny Fairy Tale, along with magical swirls from You Autumn Know, and abracadabra my card is finished! I can’t wait to see what inspires you!

Thank you so much, Catherine! Your card is so creative, and the magic theme is so much fun!

We can’t wait to see your All Things Birthday creativity! Happy crafting, friends!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 74 – Card Sketch

Hello Fawnatics Friends! We have a new challenge for you to keep you inspired as we all “stay home and craft”! Jenn designed a fun sketch for you to use as inspiration for your project! Follow it exactly or use your creative license to interpret it in a clever way!

We would love for 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, April 19th 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!

Now let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired by the card sketch!

Caly featured Say What? Spring Critters in her pretty close version of the Sketch! She used Outside In Stitched Circles and a sentiment from Simply Sentiments! How cute is the Hello Sunshine Remix paper peeking through the circle windows!

Franci chose to follow the sketch more loosely! She used the placement of the images from Butterfly Kisses as her interpretation of the sketch! For the sentiment she used a fun one from Ready Set Shake!

For her Sketch design, Joyce created cute little Oh Gnome! scenes in the windows of the Foursquare Backdrop: Portrait!

Karin switched up the the sketch a bit by using Heart Shaker Gift Tag to create the grid design! The cute Chirpy Chirp Chirp chicks are perfect on this Easter design!

For her adorable Easter card, Samantha used Scalloped Circle Stackables to follow the sketch! The cute bunnies and baskets are from Easter Before ‘n Afters!

Jessica‘s beautiful sketch design combines dies from Shadow Box Card Rainbow Add-On and Spring Showers to remind us to look for rainbows! The sentiment is from Rain or Shine Before ‘n Afters. She used the stitched circle from the Magic Iris to assemble the little weather vignettes but you could use any stitched circle die set!

Christy‘s card is so bright and happy! She used A Bug Deal to fill the windows of the Foursquare Backdrop: Portrait! For the sentiment she combined a phrase from A Bug Deal with Finley’s ABCs!

Samantha went for a more abstract look for the sketch design! She used the Outside In Stitched Cloud Stackables and the little speech bubble in place of the circles! Her adorable card also features Super Star as well as mice from You’re Just My Type and Love Poems!

Jenn‘s card is a festive design in honor of Mister Harley’s birthday! Her card features all three of her cats with images from Meow You Doin’! She also used images from some of our birthday mini sets: confetti from Year Nine, balloon from Year Four and the sentiment from Year Two!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 73 tomorrow!
