Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 69 – For the Birds

Hello Fawnatics friends! From our first Critters in the ‘Burbs set to the most recent Stud Puffin and some swans on the way, lots of Lawn Fawn stamp sets and die sets feature some of the cutest feathered friends! We would like you to get crafty and create a project that features our cute birds!

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, February 3rd 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!

Samantha‘s cheeky little scene features the cute Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducklings and costumed duck from Easter Party! She used the Rainy Backdrop: Portrait to add some glimmer embossing paste raindrops!

Christy used our Winter Sparrows along with the phone from Love Letters and some music notes from Christmas Fishes to make an adorable little scene! I love how she layered the pretty patterned papers!

Samantha created an adorable Valentine card in yummy colors of Chili Pepper, Raspberry and Apricot featuring Peacock Before ‘n Afters! She added sweetness with the Just Stitching Hearts, Heart Shaker Gift Tag and the You’re Sweet Line Border!

Karin‘s Valentine treat boxes feature the Love Letters birds and sentiments! She used the Milk Carton to create the cute little treat holders!

Joyce‘s adorable gift tags are perfect to dress up a gift for any occasion! The Stud Puffin set will be great year-round when you want to add a little whimsy! The tags are from the Heart Shaker Gift Tag set and the sentiments are from Love Poems!

Franci‘s birds and colorful balloons are from our Elphie Selfie stamp set! She combined them with the paper from You’re Just My Type and sweet sentiments from Love Letters!

The little birds from Get Well Soon, Get Well Before ‘n Afters and Elphie Selfie coordinate nicely on Caly‘s pretty Magic Picture Changer design!

Jessica shared her thoughts, “Australia has been on my mind so I decided to use the little kookaburra from Critters Down Under“. We are all sending good thoughts and thinking of our friends in Australia!

I love how Jenn used the little chicks from Chirpy Chirp Chirp on this fun slimline card design! How fun that the chicks are colored in “Easter egg colors” and lined up in rainbow order! She included a greeting from Yay, Kites!

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 68 tomorrow!

More Fabulous Inspiration by our Guest Designer, Davina!

Hello Fawnatics Friends! We are one week into our Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song challenge and you guys are seriously impressing us with your creativity! There is still a full week to enter the challenge which is open until Sunday, March 17 at 11:59PM ET.

Our amazing Guest Designer, Davina joins us again today to share 2 more fabulous cards to inspire your crafting! She will tell you about her process for making these clever card designs!

“I love creating scenes from movies and books. And when I’m going through my stamp sets I’m always thinking about what else can be created with the images. I was inspired by one on my favorite childhood movies Bambi. I knew that I had images for all the main characters.

My favorite part of the movie is the “Twitterpated” spring. And I tried to recreate that meadow scene. After die cutting my panels I ink-blended the background and splattered white opaque ink on the golden sky. I stamped out all my images and colored them with Copic markers and white gel pen highlights. I wanted my cute Flower the skunk to be behind the flowers like he was in the movie, so I popped the flowers and grass up on foam tape and placed him behind.

Thumper sits atop the log from the Toadally Awesome set, Bambi is standing in front. I didn’t forget Owl who is perched on a branch whistling away. It was such a joy to create this iconic scene and I hope that you play along with the current challenge to create your own scenes.”

“I am such a lover of everything Harry Potter that I couldn’t resist making a something inspired by the Wizarding World. Honeydukes Sweet Shop is by far one of my favorite magical places.”

“After already creating two projects I wanted to try something a little different. I wanted to make a scene that would appear like I was living in the Wizarding World.  And what would the table look like upon emptying my pockets after a day in Hogsmeade Village. I’d have Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, and Chocolate Frogs. There would be Droobles best blowing gum and Fizzing Wizzbees. I would have brought home a Pumpkin Pasty for later and some sweet Jelly Slugs (formerly a cute snail from Gleeful Gardens who lost him shell).”

Thank you so much, Davina! Your card art is amazing and we are so happy that you joined us for this challenge!
