Jenn’s Clever Card Inspired by True Crime

We hope you are having fun with the Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song challenge and we can’t wait to see your creativity! This challenge will be open until this Sunday, April 3 at 11:59PM ET.

Jenn joins us today with a super clever card inspired by her interest in true crime!

To create her “crime scene” Jenn combined Happy Village, Village Shops and Village Heroes sets. This is such a clever way to send apologies; her “Mea Culpa” greeting is spelled out with Finley’s ABCs.

Jenn even included the murder weapon; can you spot it? It’s from Pick of the Patch!

The crime scene tape is made using Harold’s ABCs along with yellow and black marker.

I love that Jenn includes her Copic marker list to make it easy to recreate her designs!

Thanks so much, Jenn for sharing your clever and unique inspiration today!

And for all the true crime fans out there, Jenn created a playlist of her favorite podcasts on Spotify.

Jenn has two new online Lawn Fawn classes coming up! Berry Fun and Rain or Shine! Have you signed up yet? These classes are open to everyone, worldwide! More details here

Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Jessica‘s brilliant design features Giant Let it Snow cut from silver glitter cardstock! She made it stand out by layering it on another die cut in Peacock! For the background, she stenciled Snowflake Background Stencils with Pearl Stencil Paste on Let it Shine Snowflakes 6×6 paper! The she added even more frosty fun with Stitched Snowflakes!

Samantha created a fun interactive design that fits perfectly with the Oliver’s Stitched ABCs sentiment! She added the “zoomin'” critter to a strip of acetate that she secured to the Grassy Border with a brad. As the card is tilted the little fox scoots by!

A super fun way to make the sentiment special is to add it to a fun die cut element! Here, Karin stamped the Magic Messages birthday greeting on an Outside In Stitched Balloon! She finished her card with Cloudy Stencils, Spring Sprig flowers and some cute Dandy Day critters!

Samantha‘s Fall themed card is all about the Giant Sending Big Hugs greeting! She added leaves from You Autumn Know and a happy critter from Snow Much Fun!

Christy created a super fun and punny Finley’s ABCs custom sentiment! It’s the perfect greeting for her charming Merry Mice scene! For the background she continued her color story with a Peppermint Stripes Backdrop!

Franci started her delightful pair of cards with a sentiment from Merry Messages! A sweet image from Snow Globe Scenes carries on the holiday theme along with the Let it Shine Snowflakes paper. For some extra detail, she used Stitched Borders on the white panel.

Joyce spelled out Santa’s famous chuckle in Oliver’s Stitched ABCs for her special design! She used images from Ho-Ho-Holidays and Holiday Helpers in this happy scene!

Caly‘s birthday card is absolutely delightful! She paired Giant Happy Birthday with some cute party-goers from Tiny Birthday Friends!

I hope you have been inspired by these amazing projects! We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 111 – Coffee, Tea & Treats tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!
