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!

Caly’s Charming You’re Just My Type Card

It’s Caly with you today and I’m so excited to share my project with you. I adore the latest release by Lawn Fawn and got to use it today for the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #68 – Something Old & Something New! I’m using quite a few older sets so keep reading to find out!

The new You’re Just My Type and Love Poems sets are so much fun so I couldn’t help but combine them to create my pull-tab card today. I love the little mice on these sets so I combed through my Lawn Fawn bins and pulled out two more sets that have mice to add some friends to my card. The two mice at the bottom of my card are from the Elphie Selfie and Wild For You sets.

My images are stamped and colored with Copic markers. After die-cutting, I added white gel highlights. I do this after die-cutting because I’ve found that they can rub off on your die-cutting plates so I thought I would share that with you. Nothing like spending some time coloring for things to get messed up during the die-cutting process! Ask me, I totally had to color the desk twice because the die shifted during die-cutting. BOO!

My background is ink-blended with Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide inks on top and Peacock Feathers on the bottom. I love pinks and teals and always have to incorporate those colors! After ink-blending, I die-cut the Outside In Stitched Rectangles to create my border, then I used the new Just Stitching Hearts to add texture to my background, overlapping them for interest.

I then used the Let’s Toast Pull Tab Add-On to create my mechanism for my typed love note. I love all the mice on this card and the revealed note! To finish my card, I stamped the light rays for my lamp and added the typewriter sounds and stamped my sentiment on a Simple Wavy Banner.

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I had making it! The current Something Old, Something New challenge ends on Sunday, January 19th at 11:59pm ET! I can’t wait to see all the entries! Thanks so much for stopping by today! ~Caly

It’s never too early to start making those Christmas cards! Samantha just had too many ideas this year so she’s starting on next Christmas!
