Samantha’s “Croc My World” Inspiration

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments


We invite 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, stencils and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, March 5 at 11:59PM ET. Link your challenge projects HERE.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry to receive a $50.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! Everyone who enters a challenge has a chance to be the random drawing winner! Woohoo!

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 explains her Show Us Where You Live design: I live in South Carolina, and it’s called the Low Country here for a reason! lol! You can guarantee, any time you see a body of water (small or large!) there will be an alligator swimming in it!


Samantha inked the background and the Stitched Pond to start setting the scene for this alligator habitat. She used Distress Oxide ink in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles. Then she filled in images from Critters in the Jungle, Toadally Awesome and Swan Soirée.


Finally, she added the alligators from Croc My World and Wild For You and the perfect little message! Somehow these two don’t look so intimidating.

Thank for this super fun inspiration, Samantha!

Samantha’s Clever Card Sketch Inspired Card

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

This is the last weekend for the Card Sketch Challenge but there is still time to enter! Click HERE to share your Card Sketch creativity by Sunday, August 15th at 11:59PM ET! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. 

Today we have some super fun inspiration for you with Samantha C.!

Samantha created a tropical stenciled background using Distress Oxide inks in Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover and the Tropical Leaves Stencil. To add the diagonal element of the sketch she arranged Tropical Vine Borders in green glitter! She stamped the sentiment from Critters in the Jungle directly on the background before arranging Tropical Leaves and the cute jungle images in the center!

Thanks so much for the inspiration today, Samantha! Your card is totally adorable!

Happy Crafting, friends! Have a wonderful weekend!
