Christy’s Critter-filled Birthday Scene

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

We can’t wait to see your creative Create a Scene projects! This challenge will be open until Sunday, May 2 at 11:59PM ET. Have fun!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Create a Scene Challenge! Scene cards are some of my most favorite cards to make. I love combining Lawn Fawn sets to create a little story, and I combined a whole bunch on this one!

The star of the show is the hippo from Year Four. It’s his birthday and his friends have thrown him a party! I pulled images from Year Two, Critters in the Jungle, Chit Chat, A Bug Deal, Toadally Awesome, Bicycle Built for You, and Party Animal. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

To build my background I die cut the frame from Bayou Backdrop from some Noble Fir cardstock, the pond from Mermaid, and the Grassy Border from Cilantro. I added some waves  in the pond with the Ocean Wave Accents and slipped the hippo into the largest one. I glued the grassy panel first to my Sticky Note card base, then added the pond with the hippo, then the frame. Then I adhered the rest of my images to complete the scene.

I added an Everyday Sentiment Banner stamped with Plastic Flamingo ink, and finished off the card with a little Stardust Stickles.

I also finished off the inside with another party guest stamped in Sunflower ink. You can check that out in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

If you haven’t had a chance to play along in our Create a Scene challenge yet, there’s still time! I can’t wait to see what you create!

Happy 2021 Fawnatics friends! This is the last weekend for our New Year challenge; it closes on Sunday January 3 at 11:59PM ET.


Karin has lovely inspiration, with wishes for a joyful winter!

This beautiful scene starts with Over the Mountain Borders stamped in the background along with a gorgeous ink blended sky!

Karin then added Lift the Flap Tree Backdrop to frame this little forest pond. The pond is found in Bayou Backdrop and it’s stamped with the pretty heart trail from Mice On Ice. How cute is the little bear from Car Critters in the “hot cocoa” concession stand? The booth is from Coaster Critters!

Thank you for sharing this lovely and inspiring card with us, Karin!

We hope you are all having a wonderful New Year’s Day! We will have a new challenge for you on Monday!

A Super Happy Holiday Critter Card with Christy

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Happy Holiday Critters Challenge! I love making scene cards, and I combined so many different sets into this one. I used Beary Happy Holidays, Cheery Christmas, Mice on Ice, Holiday Helpers, Yeti or Not, and Simply Celebrate Winter. I colored all my images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For the background, I used a piece of bokeh paper from the Snow Day Remix 6×6 pad for the sky. I added stitching detail to the edges with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables, then added some tree silhouettes with the Stitched Tree Border. Overtop of that, I layered two Stitched Hillside Borders, one glued flat to the card, and the other popped up with foam tape.

I cut out an icy pond using the Bayou Backdrop and heat embossed a little swirl of ice skating tracks from Mice on Ice. I added that to the lower left corner of the card. Then I added my images into the scene with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape.

The little snowman was from Simply Celebrate Winter. I just masked him off from the rest of his friends when stamping and used the dies to cut out most of him, and my Cutter Bee scissors to trim down the rest.


To finish things off, I added a sentiment stamped in Bubblegum Ink and trimmed out with an Everyday Sentiment Banner, and a bit of Stardust Stickles for a little sparkle.

I also finished off the inside using Simply Celebrate Winter, which you can check out in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

The Happy Holiday Critters challenge will be open until Sunday December 6 at 11:59PM ET. We hope you will join us!

Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Christy!

Have a fun and crafty weekend, friends!
