Design Team Inspiration


Apple picking and fresh cider are favorites of Fall! Samantha‘s card combines Apple-solutely Awesome and Hay There Hayrides with our Den Sweet Den bears to bring this fun activity to life!


Mimi “carved out time” to create the cutest pumpkin carving scene ever! She started with Pumpkin House, then she added lots of busy mice from Merry Mice, Sew Very Mice, Really High Five and Bubbles of Joy. The eyes for the jack o’ lantern are the plain hat from All the Hats, and the mouth is a selectively stamped cereal bowl from Cerealsly Awesome, so clever! Mimi borrowed tools from Pick of the Patch and the pencil from Just Add Glitter.


A visit to the pumpkin patch is another favorite Awesome Autumn activity and Christy captured the fun with Hay There, Hayrides! She added Stitched Hillside Borders and trees from Happy Village along with the barn from the original Hay There!


Samantha‘s lovely design celebrates the changing colors of the trees as Autumn arrives! She started with the tree from Wild Wolves then added Puffy Cloud Borders, colorfully stenciled with Fall Leaves Background Stencils for the treetops. And then she added more color with leaves and mice from You Autumn Know!


Our Booyah ghosties look so adorable in Franci‘s fun Halloween design! She added pretty pastel clouds with Nighttime Sky Stencil. Then she used Stitched Borders to finish the panel before layering it on a Spiffier Speckles covered card base.


The Let’s Go Nuts squirrels have taken over the Tree House, gathering acorns and raking leaves in Joyce‘s awesome and adorable Autumn scene!


Catherine‘s creative card highlights another fun Fall activity! By combining Hay There Hayrides with Slide on Over Maze she created a corn maze!


Karin‘s sweet, clean and simple design sends wishes for a Happy Halloween with the cute Fangtastic Friends! I love how she inked a portion of the card, then splattered it with gold paint. It’s a subtle and beautiful detail!

We are all noticing the trees, foliage and flowers changing color either for Fall or Spring depending on where you are in the world, so it’s the perfect time for a Color Inspiration Challenge! Use the colors in the photo below to inspire your crafting for this challenge!

Here are the Lawn Fawn ink pads that coordinate with the challenge colors.

Design Team Inspiration

I’d like to give a shout out to our amazing Design Team! They inspire us every month with their creative ideas! No matter what challenge I throw at them, they always dazzle! Thank you, I appreciate you all so much!


Christy‘s colorful scene features the sunflowers of Our Friendship Grows and the adorable squirrels of Let’s Go Nuts! She took advantage of the color inspiration to create glorious colors on the You Autumn Know leaves, so beautiful! Her sentiment is from Scripty Autumn Sentiments!


There are more cute squirrels and more colorful leaves on Mimi‘s playful design too! She also used Lift the Flap Tree Backdrop and the new Build-A-Birdhouse die set! The Let’s Go Nuts sentiment is stamped on signs from Build-A-Campsite. Mimi cut them twice to shorten them, totally clever!


Catherine created a fun closet inside the Ta-Da! Diorama! She filled it with cute clothes in our color palette. She found the clothes in Little Bundle and Ugly and Bright, the shoes in Plan on It: Fitness, the luggage in Car Critters Road Trip Add-On and the hat in Dad + Me! Be sure to check out her blog post for more of the clever details.


Samantha is at her whimsical best with this card combining Oh Gnome and Let’s Go Nuts! The bright, bold colors she chose give the images an adorable, cartoony look!


Karin used soft pastel shades of the inspiration colors! Her birthday card is made with Tropical Leaves Backdrop, Spring Flowers Backdrop, Center Picture Window Card Heart Add-On (birds), Spring Sprig and Scripty Congrats!


I love Franci‘s little “Hedgehugs” frolicking in the Fall leaves! She used Stitched Borders and Vertical Rainbow Stripes Washi tape to frame the little vignette!


Samantha inked up our Stitched Leaves and gave them cute faces with the smileys in I Scream, You Scream! She added a punny sentiment from You Autumn Know on a Fancy Wavy Banner. Then she layered it all on a shiny hot-foiled woodgrain background! So much shine!


Joyce stamped brightly colored leaves from Jump for Joy to create a cheery tag! She used the Lawn Fawn inks that coordinate with the inspiration palette, stamping on Vanilla Malt cardstock. Then she cut the rest of the Scalloped Circle Gift Tag from Raspberry cardstock. That sweet sentiment is also found in Jump for Joy!


Jenn used Distress Re-inkers to watercolor the Stitched Leaves and Small Stitched Leaves in lovely Fall colors! She added glittery gold hearts from Hearts and Stars Skinny Tag then stamped a message from Simply Sentiments. She finished her design with a splatter of metallic gold watercolor!

Mimi got really creative and made an amazing desk organizer with our Platform Pop-Up die set! She made room for holding pens and post-it note pad. She cut three Platform Pop-Up main pieces, putting 2 together to make the base. Then she put the third one together to add to the top. She cut slots in the top one to hold the sticky notes and pens.


There is even a hidden drawer to hold a roll of washi tape! Oh, my goodness, this is so much fun! She used images from Virtual Friends, Virtual Friends Add-On, Love Poems and Just Add Glitter. I love how she decorated the organizer with Really Rainbow paper and Vertical Rainbow Stripes Washi tape.


Christy created an awesome layered Berry Special scene using Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up! The Fruit Salad gingham paper lends a sweet homespun look to her fun design!


Samantha‘s birthday gift bag and matching card are absolutely adorable! She used the fun Yappy Birthday, Yappy Birthday Add-On and Pawsome Birthday set with an amazing color palette! She created the card with Flippin’ Awesome and the Flippin’ Awesome Add-On. The gift bag is made with the Goodie Bag die.


Even the card has a surprise pop-up inside courtesy of the Everyday Pop-Ups die set!


Franci‘s adorable Shadow Box Card is a sneak peek at Hay There, Hayrides stamp set! It’s part of our new Fall & Winter 2023 Release that will be available on August 24! Check out all the inspiration at the Lawn Fawn blog and be sure to enter all the Inspiration and Release Week daily giveaways (Aug 16 – 25)!


Who wouldn’t love to receive a gift in this cute gift bag! Joyce decorated her Goodie Bag images from Ocean Shell-fie, Mermaid for You and I Like You (a lotl).


Joyce brought the cute underwater scene to the back of the Goodie Bag as well!


Samantha decorated her Shadow Box Card with cute images from Just Plane Awesome! She added clouds with the Rainbow Add-On and Snowy Backdrop for the background.


I love how Samantha carried the cute images all across the outside of the shadow box!


Karin used our fun Milk Carton to make a gift package! She inked it up, then lined the bottom edge with Heart Garden Border all around. Then she added a heart shaped Tiny Tag with a Tiny Tag Sayings greeting!


Catherine‘s Shadow Box Card is on trend with a modified Car Critters car and Bicycle Built for You characters! She cleverly created the roller skates using the sock from Loads of Fun and Bubbles of Joy bubbles for the wheels. The laces and toe stopper are hand drawn.


Jenn‘s Woodland Critter Hugger is all decked out for a beach adventure! She used Woodland Critter Huggers Summer Add-On to add all the accessories like a paper doll.


The tote is filled with sunglasses and camera! When the “arms” are opened you see that Jenn decorated both sides of the cute drink glass and tote!
