I love how Samantha used the cute little flower girls from Easter Party to send a happy hello!

Kate created a pretty backdrop with repeated Little Flowers! Her card features flowers from Simply Celebrate and a greeting from Simply Sentiments!

Samantha‘s card is so magical! She used flowers from Fairy Friends and paired them with the How You Bean? jar and Scripty Thanks!

Karin‘s card is so charming! She used Bayou Backdrop as the base for her sweet scene with frolicking Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks and pretty flowers! Scripty Love is the perfect sentiment!

Joyce combined two Spring sets to create this adorable card! She stamped the tiny flowers from Easter Party in a fun pattern then added the bunnies from Some Bunny to complete her sweet card design!

Jessica‘s gorgeous ink blended background sets the stage for our Fairy Friends to have a magical day!

Franci made a beautiful card with a clean and simple style! The fresh ink colors are perfect for the Fab Flowers! I love that her Happy Happy Happy sentiment is embossed with silver embossing powder, it’s so lovely!

Christy‘s adorable card features Gleeful Gardens! She created her happy scene on a Stitched Journaling Card with Grassy Borders and a cute sentiment from Critters on the Savanna!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next two weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 30 tomorrow!


Franci’s Coaster Critters Card with a Twist!

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!
Franci
