Christy’s Critter-filled Birthday Scene

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

We can’t wait to see your creative Create a Scene projects! This challenge will be open until Sunday, May 2 at 11:59PM ET. Have fun!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Create a Scene Challenge! Scene cards are some of my most favorite cards to make. I love combining Lawn Fawn sets to create a little story, and I combined a whole bunch on this one!

The star of the show is the hippo from Year Four. It’s his birthday and his friends have thrown him a party! I pulled images from Year Two, Critters in the Jungle, Chit Chat, A Bug Deal, Toadally Awesome, Bicycle Built for You, and Party Animal. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

To build my background I die cut the frame from Bayou Backdrop from some Noble Fir cardstock, the pond from Mermaid, and the Grassy Border from Cilantro. I added some waves  in the pond with the Ocean Wave Accents and slipped the hippo into the largest one. I glued the grassy panel first to my Sticky Note card base, then added the pond with the hippo, then the frame. Then I adhered the rest of my images to complete the scene.

I added an Everyday Sentiment Banner stamped with Plastic Flamingo ink, and finished off the card with a little Stardust Stickles.

I also finished off the inside with another party guest stamped in Sunflower ink. You can check that out in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

If you haven’t had a chance to play along in our Create a Scene challenge yet, there’s still time! I can’t wait to see what you create!

There are so many of your entries that we would love to share but the photos you’ve linked us to are either too small or they don’t have enough space around them to allow for a consistent look on the blog. Here are some tips for uploading photos that we can share as Featured Fawnatics!

-Set up your photo with some space all around your project to allow for us to crop as needed
-Make sure your photos are at least 1000 pixels wide (we prefer sharing photos that are uniform in size)
-Use a light color as the backdrop for your photos; this helps your cards and crafts to stand out

Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity with us each month. We appreciate it so much! If you have any questions about uploading photos, please leave them in the comments below.

Happy Crafting from your friends at Lawn Fawnatics!
