Samantha Remakes Her Dramatic Night Sky Card!

- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

Our CASE Yourself challenge continues through Sunday March 31! We are so impressed with the entries in the gallery so far, wow! Our Design Team inspiration today comes from Samantha M, who remade her awesome night sky that she made for her blog collaboration back in October. For the original card, which you can see HERE,she used Happy Haunting and Monster Mash! The updated version features Out of This World and a surprise on the inside!

The background for each card starts with black gesso painted randomly on the card base! Then some bright white stenciled stars fill the night sky! In the original Samantha filled the scene with a rainbow of colorful Monster Mash critters and the Happy Haunting house!

For the new version, she again used bright and happy rainbow colors on the Out of This World planets and sun! She started her greeting on the front of the card…

and finished it on the inside with a fun pop-up element courtesy of the Mini Pop-Up Box and some more colorful planets! I love how she continued the dramatic black sky and stars on the inside!

Thank you so much, Samantha, for inspiring us today!

Now it’s your turn to get creative and be inspired by one of your previous cards or crafty projects! Our CASE Yourself challenge will be open until Sunday March 31 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see how you will be inspired!

Share with us your Fall-themed, Halloween and Thanksgiving cards and projects featuring Lawn Fawn products!

Let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired by this challenge!

Everybody loves a funny pun so Samantha M combined Spooktacular, Plane and Simple and Harold’s ABCs to create this punny charmer! The colorful background is so beautiful!

Samantha C created a sweet and spooky Halloween scene with some non-Halloween sets! She started with the house from Frosty Fairy Friends, the cute little critters from Coaster Critters and accessories from Holiday Party Animal then she added spooky ghosts and bats from Happy Haunting!

Karin colored the forest critters from Into the Woods and created a pretty Fall backdrop for them! The sweet Fall sentiment is also from Into the Woods! Some colorful leaves from Jump for Joy complete this clean and simple design!

Franci decorated a Scalloped Treat Box with adorable images from Costume Party! She included the cute little speech bubble from Cheery Christmas!

Jessica started with Knit Picky Fall papers to create a warm background for her Happy Fall design! She included fun Autumn themes of pumpkins and apples using Pick of the Patch and Thanks a Bushel! The cute bunny is from our Some Bunny set!

Christy‘s Jump for Joy card is filled with Fall color and a clever interactive twist…

…lift the pile of leaves for a sweet critter surprise! The cute little fox and owl are found in our Mom+Me set!

Joyce set the scene using Leafy Tree Backdrop and a beautiful ink blended sky! Her cute Autumn card features Happy Howloween and Jump for Joy!
