Christy’s Wild Shadow Box Card Featuring Toucan Do It

Our 3D card challenge is a 3 week challenge, open until September 5, at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see your 3-dimensional card creations! Link them up HERE.

Hello friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our 3D Card Challenge! I just can’t get enough of the sweet jaguars from the Toucan Do It stamp set, so I just had to use them again. I also added in the small leaf from Critters in the Jungle. I colored all the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

I die cut the two pieces of the Shadow Box Card die from Mermaid Cardstock. Then I cut out the trees from Ground Coffee, the tree tops from Noble Fir, and the Grass from Cilantro. I also cut out the cloud tab from the Shadow Box Rainbow Add-on from Cilantro Cardstock and turned it upside down and trimmed off the tabs to fill in my tree tops. I put the trees on both the front of the Shadow Box and on the back panel to create a little forest.

I assembled everything using 1/8” Double Sided Tape. I also trimmed down more of the grass tabs to finish off the sides of the box, but left the back blank so I have a space to write a message to the recipient. Then I added my images inside and out using Mini Glue Dots and finished with an Everyday Sentiment Banner stamped in Noble Fir Ink.

A Tropical Center Picture Window Card with Samantha!

Our 3D card challenge is a 3 week challenge, open until September 5, at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see your 3 dimensional card creations! Link them up HERE.

Samantha M joins us today to share her cute Center Picture Window Card featuring lots of tropical fun!

This is Samantha’s first attempt to create a Center Picture Window Card and she said she was a little intimated at first. She decided to check out the Intro Video at Lawn Fawn’s YouTube channel for the step by step instructions for assembling these cute 3D mini cards. You’ll find the Intro to Center Picture Window Card video HERE.

Samantha decorated the card with Tropical Leaves Background Stencils in a pretty blend of green and teal. The punny sentiment is such a fun way to send a note of thanks!

Instead of using the layering pieces included in the Center Picture Window Card set, Samantha used the tree branches and leaves from Toucan Do It to add dimension to the scene inside the window. Such a clever idea!

She included a spot on the back of the card to write a sweet message!

Thank you for inspiring us today, Samantha! I’m so happy you finally tried this fun die set!

We are looking forward to seeing your 3D Cards! We will have more Design Team inspiration for you over the next week and a half! Check out the challenge gallery HERE.

Franci’s Toucan Do It Card Sketch Design

We hope you will join us for the Card Sketch Challenge! Click HERE to share your Card Sketch creativity! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, August 15th at 11:59PM ET.

Franci used the Card Sketch to create a beautiful card using Toucan Do It!

To begin her gorgeous design, Franci used Tropical Leaves Background Stencils to create the diagonal element from the sketch. She framed this panel on layers of neutral colors of cardstock.

Then she stamped, colored and arranged the jaguar, toucan and branch from Toucan Do It to mimic the shape from the sketch. A simple Everyday Sentiment Banner finishes the design!

Thanks so much for inspiring us today, Franci!

We are looking to forward to seeing how you are inspired by the Card Sketch!
