Franci’s Coaster Critters Card with a Twist!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Join us for June Inspiration Week at the Lawn Fawn blog starting tomorrow! We will have product intro videos, lots of Design Team ideas and daily giveaways! We are so excited, we hope to see you there!

Hi there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with an interactive card made with some cool stuff from the new release! Whenever I think about roller coasters, I think about being upside down and that’s why I went for this fun design! I hope you like it and you’ll give it a try, it was so much fun to make!

To make my card, I die cut 2 stitched rectangles (using the largest die included in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set) out of some white cardstock and I colored them with Distress inks. I went for an ombrè night sky for the background using Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch colors. Then I created a little hill using the same Stitched Rectangle die used before and the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders set and I colored it with Peeled Paint distress ink.

I stamped some images from the Coaster Critters stamp set, colored them with Copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies.Then I just placed all the elements on my card to see where to cut the Coaster Critters Slide On Over Add-On element, securing it to my card with some low tack tape. I ran it through my BigShot Die Cutting machine. Then I stamped and embossed my sentiment Lawn Fawn White Embossing Powder. I combined the Coaster Critters and the Happy Happy Happy set for my sentiment because that happy font is so pretty!

I created the slider mechanism and I glued down all the other elements with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. Finally, I added some white dots on to my background to create a starry night effect.

Our Cards for Guys challenge will be open until Sunday, June 17th at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see what you will create!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a lovely, creative week!

Samantha’s Critter Concert Card!

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a fun card showcasing a few products from the new Lawn Fawn release! I really wanted to create a celebratory card that could be used for different life events or occasions.

I used the Everyday Pop-Ups Lawn Cuts to create the platform stages for my Critter Concert music performers. I have a tendency to focus more on designing the front of my cards and the inside will have a sentiment with a little complimentary design element. The Everyday Pop-Ups Lawn Cuts allows you to carry the design throughout your card and will give the recipient an additional surprise on the inside!

I adhered the critters with thin adhesive foam dots to create a slight dimension, but not too thick because I wanted my card to still close with ease. The Little Music Notes Lawn Cuts were the perfect backdrop for the little concert. I added pom-pom trim and rhinestones to embellish my scene.

Please be sure to check out the current Cards for Guys challenge! There’s lots of wonderful inspiration from the Design Team and the current participants!

A Masculine Card for Dad by Joyce!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Joyce joins us today to share an amazing card designed just for dad!

Joyce added masculine color to the cute raccoons from Critters in the Forest and Forest Feast! She filled out the scene with the log from Toadally Awesome and the toadstool from Forest Feast!

The subtle background was created by stenciling the design with Yeti ink on our Paper Bag cardstock!

To finish this clean and simple masculine design, Joyce created a custom sentiment by combining phrases from Forest Feast and Rub-A-Dub-Dub!

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Joyce!

Our Cards for Guys challenge will continue through Sunday, June 17th at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see your masculine themed cards for all the men in your life!
