Catherine was inspired to create a brilliant “Happy New Year around the world” card!


Catherine used Peekaboo Backdrop to divide the amazing geographical vignettes. She cut the backdrop from black glitter cardstock from the Autumn Sparkle pack. She created the background with Stitched Fireworks and colorful inking. Then she added more sparkle with Chunky Glitter. She added the greeting to the top using Winter Wavy Sayings and a small Simple Wavy Banner.


Please see the supply list below for links to the sets that Catherine used for each of the adorable little scenes.

Top left: New York City – Village Heroes (taxi and fire hydrant), Virtual Friends (waving mouse), Let’s Bokeh (clock and Time Square ball), Plan on It: Calendar (2023), Simple Road Border, Large and Small Mini Slimline Stackables (Time Square building).

Bottom left: Tokyo – Shadow Box Card Mountain Add-On (Mt. Fuji), Build-A-Barrel: Apple (shrine), Bubbles of Joy (mouse), Let’s Go Nuts (scarf), Stitched Hillside Borders.

Top right: North Pole – Snow Cool (igloo), Crazy Antics (mice), Party Animal (party hats), Plan on It: Holidays (champagne glasses).

Bottom right: Kiribati – Beachy Christmas (palm tree), Happy Hugs (mice).

I absolutely love this clever design, Catherine! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful inspiration!

Samantha’s Let’s Go Nuts Card with Rosy Fall Colors

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

We invite you to share your Awesome Autumn projects by linking up your photos HERE! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies, stencils and papers and show us what you love about Autumn.  This challenge will be open until Sunday, October 2 at 11:59PM ET.

Samantha‘s cheery Awesome Autumn inspiration features the cute Let’s Go Nuts squirrels!

She stamped and colored all the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers before cutting them out with the coordinating dies. Then she used Distress ink in Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves and Dried Marigold to splatter more color and texture on the treetops.

She arranged the trees from Critters in the Burbs and Let’s Play on a panel of white Woodgrain cardstock, then she placed the cute squirrels and acorns! To finish the card, she white embossed the sentiment on black cardstock and trimmed it into strips to pop up on the card!

This card is so adorable, Samantha! Thanks for sharing with us today!
