Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 84 – Back to School

- Nancy Krueger 10 Comments

Happy Monday, Fawnatics friends! It’s that time of the year for back to school! It might look a little different this year but the feelings are the same; kids, parents and teachers are excited for another adventure in learning! We invite you to create a card or crafty project with a “back to school” or “teacher appreciation” theme for this challenge!

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, September 20th 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!

Let’s see how our awesome Design Team was inspired by this challenge theme!

Joyce used images from our Village Heroes set to create a beautiful thank you card! She added the tree and a pair of apples from Tree Before ‘n Afters!

For her card, Samantha designed the perfect study space! She used the desk, typewriter and lamp from You’re Just My Type and added the bird and book from Science of Love! I love how she added a “window” with a view to the tree outside! The Outside In Stitched Apple is a great backdrop for this fun scene!

Village Heroes is the star of Jessica‘s bright and cheerful card! The bold colors are so striking and the basket of apples from Thanks a Bushel are the perfect addition!

Often overlooked but an important part of education is the fearless driving teacher! Christy‘s fun design is the perfect way to thank the teacher who makes sure drivers know the rules of the road! She combined Car Critters with Village Heroes and Road Border.

Franci‘s fun back-to-school design features Science of Love and a couple of birds with chemistry!

I’m sure a teacher would love to receive this card with its sweet message! Caly‘s card starts with Really Rainbow paper peeking through the Outside In Stitched Circle window. The cute mice from You’re Just My Type and Love Poems are perfect to start the day with a smile!

How amazing is Samantha‘s school-themed scrapbook layout?! She created a cool design using Quinn’s ABCs stamped with Manatee ink. Then she added the title with Cole’s ABCs. Finally she added some color with Really Rainbow paper and some fun with the paper airplanes from Plane and Simple!

Karin‘s Shadow Box Card is a great way to send a sweet thank you to a special teacher! The little scene features Village Heroes, Forest Border and Road Border. The cute owl from Jump for Joy is a fun addition!

Jenn‘s fun and colorful card spells out an encouraging message perfectly! She inked the background using the Cloudy Stencil and Grassy Stencil. Then she added the Stitched Rainbow cut from bright colors of cardstock and some cute images from Village Heroes! Louie’s ABCs are the perfect size to send this positive message!

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 83 tomorrow!

Make the Sentiment the Star Inspiration with Samantha!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Samantha cleverly spelled out hello on a card featuring Smooth Sailing for our Make the Sentiment the Star challenge!

Samantha set the scene by inking the Stitched Wave Borders with Distress ink in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers. The images from Smooth Sailing and the letters from Quinn’s ABCs were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and cut out by hand.

To give the sentiment the starring role, Samantha popped up letters to spell hello on 2 of the sailboats. The she white heat-embossed the rest of the greeting on a vellum Fancy Wavy Banner!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful card with us today, Samantha! It’s such a fun and creative take on the challenge theme!

This challenge is open for another week and a half so you have plenty of time to challenge yourself to Make the Sentiment the Star of your next project!

Happy crafting!

Jenn’s Bright Summertime Fun Card

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Jenn shares an awesome Summertime Fun card to inspire your weekend crafting! The Summertime Fun challenge wraps up on Sunday, August 2 at 11:59PM ET. There’s still time to enter!

Jenn combined I Scream You Scream with Stitched Rainbow to create some fun summertime treats! Her awesome watermelon uses just three “bows” and half of a circle inked up in pretty pink inks! Those shiny watermelon seeds are the smiley face “cheeks” included in the Stitched Rainbow die set. They are cut from Black Licorice cardstock and coated with Glossy Accents; such a clever detail!

This popsicle looks so yummy! Jenn ink blended summery colors, then kicked up the fun with Tim Holtz Rock Candy glitter and more Glossy Accents!

The greeting is a combination of Big Scripty Words and Quinn’s ABCs! She stamped the large Quinn’s letters in Sunflower ink and filled them in with Prisma Glitter!

Thanks so much, Jenn, for sharing this super happy design filled with favorite summer treats!

A new challenge starts on Monday, August 3 with amazing Design Team inspiration!

Have a happy, crafty weekend Fawnatics friends!
