- Nancy Krueger 14 Comments

Summer is here and with it bright, sunny days! Let our new Color Challenge inspire your creativity! You can use all the colors, some of the colors and/or the fabulous beachy image to jump-start a fun crafty project featuring Lawn Fawn products! This challenge will be open until Sunday July 15th 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. 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 fabulous Design Team used the Color Inspiration!

Karin combined Happy Village, Village Shops and Winter Village to create this sweet scene using the bright color palette!

I love Samantha‘s whimsical scene starring a mermaid and Nessie (from Mermaid for You and Lovable Legends)! How clever that she used the Bayou Backdrop under the vellum “water”!

Peekaboo Backdrop and Village Shops are paired up on Joyce‘s adorable card! The cheerful color story was inspired by our challenge colors!

I love Franci‘s colorful Shadow Box Card! The way she place the One in a Chameleon cuties allows the box to be turned upside down and still be upright! So clever!

Jessica created a beautiful underwater scene for her Manatee-rific pair! Again Bayou Backdrop looks amazing as aquatic plants!

I love how Christy used the Perfectly Plaid Spring – Hydrangea paper as the base for her colorful Coaster Critters card! The happy plaid brings in the inspiration colors wonderfully!

I love Samantha‘s colorful layered Stitched Wave Borders! Her sunny watercolor card uses the inspiration colors and the wave image as well! She gave our Duh-nuh shark lots of cool detail!

Jenn used Manatee-rific and the die elements from Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-On to make a brilliant framed ocean scene!

The Chunky Glitter adds sparkly fun!

Nancy used the colors to inspire a Scalloped Treat Box island beach shack! The new Dog House Add-On was used to make the striped siding and the door and windows are from Spring House Add-On. The sun from Spring Showers was first die cut with Stitched Windy Backdrop to give it a fun swirly pattern! The trees, coconuts and little crab are in the Palm Trees die set!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next two weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 31 tomorrow!


Jessica’s Fabulous Shadow Box Card

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Good morning! Jess here with a card for our current Cards for Guys challenge!

To start I stamped images from the You are Sublime set with Copic-friendly ink and then colored them with Copic markers. I die-cut them with the coordinating dies and then added accents with a white gel pen. Next, I die-cut the Shadow Box Card from dark blue cardstock and used the Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-on to die-cut the scalloped opening on the front panel. I adhered the box together with adhesive and then started building my scene.

First, I die-cut the word ‘dad’ with white cardstock using Finley’s ABCs. Then I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock with Versamark ink and heat-embossed it with silver embossing powder. I used the die in the Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-on to die-cut the sentiment into a fishtail banner.  I adhered them to the box card and added the fish and foliage to the outside of the box. Next, I blended pine needles distress ink onto a piece of white cardstock and die-cut it with the Bayou Backdrop die. I trimmed it down and adhered it to the backside of the front panel to create seaweed.

I cut two small strips of dark blue cardstock and adhered them to the top of the shadow box to create panels for my diver and fish.  I adhered them to an acetate strip and adhered the strip to the panel. Finally, I added my submarine to the back panel for a little vertical interest!

And that’s it!  You have one more weekend to get crafty for those special guys in your life!  I can’t wait to see what you create!  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Our Cards for Guys challenge will close at 11:59PM ET on Sunday, June 17th. We can’t wait to see what you create!
