- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

Happy New Year Fawnatics Friends! Let’s show our older stamps and dies some love while playing with some new Lawn Fawn sets! It’s our Something Old, Something New challenge!

We would love for you to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, January 19th at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

We have a super talented Guest Designer to kick off the new year! Please welcome Lynn Dionne! She has been playing in our challenges and she always inspires and impresses us with her unique designs! She shares her creativity at her blog Pink Whisper Designs and at her YouTube channel.

Lynn is embracing the theme with a calendar easel card, saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming a shiny new year! Her new products are Tree Before ‘n Afters and Foursquare Backdrop: Landscape! For the something old, Lynn used Riley’s ABCs, Little Picket Fence Border and Everyday Sentiment Banners. Be sure to visit her blog for all the details for making this amazing card!

Now let’s see how our awesome Design Team was inspired by the Something Old, Something New theme!

Joyce combined our new You’re Just My Type and Love Poems with our older Love Letters set! Her adorable card is a perfect Valentine or just to send some love!

Jessica‘s fantastic clean and simple design pairs our Thanks a Latte stamp set with our new Just Stitching Hearts die set!

It’s never too early to start making those Christmas cards! Samantha just had too many ideas this year so she’s starting on next Christmas! Her festive design combines Ho-Ho-Holidays with our older Toboggan Together and Puffy Cloud Borders! She even highlighted our very first alpha set, Harold’s ABCs with her punny greeting!

Christy‘s charming card combines sweet sayings from Love Poems with cute little mice from Wild for You and Elphie Selfie! She used Stitched Circle Stackables to create this adorable “cheesy” design!

Franci featured our new Stud Puffin set with clouds from Butterfly Kisses and a little envelope Gleeful Gardens! She created this sweet, shaped design using an Outside In Stitched Heart Stackable!

Karin‘s beautiful card features flowers from Flutter By with new Simple Wavy Banners and Wavy Sayings!

How adorable is Samantha‘s sweet mash-up of You’re Just My Type and Keep on Swimming! She added a greeting from Reveal Wheel Sentiments!

Caly‘s precious gift tags are ready for Mother’s Day! She made them using our brand new Heart Shaker Gift Tag die set and our older Mom + Me stamp set! She added some glittery sweetness with our Spring Sparkle glitter cardstock.


We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 67 tomorrow!

A Spooky Card with Samantha!

- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

We hope you will join us over at the Lawn Fawn blog for the start of October Inspiration Week! Today is the Big Giveaway Post, with up to 6 chances to enter to win! Click HERE!

Happy Friday! Samantha here with a spooky card that is inspired by current Inspiration Board challenge. I LOVED the inspiration board so much, because the colors and the Halloween image are so much fun.

I used Bayou Backdrop to create a Halloween scene that takes place in a haunted bayou. Ghosts from Happy Haunting are peaking out behind the glittery vines and frogs from Toadally Awesome are floating on the lily pads. I turned the frogs into witches by accessorizing them with hats from Hats Off to You and Holiday Party Animal. They needed a cauldron for their spooky swamp potions, so I used the fish bowl from the Keep On Swimming stamp set. Some of the  bubbles from the Rub-A-Dub-Dub stamp set fit perfectly in my cauldron!

You still have plenty of time to enter this amazing Inspiration Board challenge. The colors are so much fun to work with and Halloween is such a fun holiday to create projects for. The challenge is open until Sunday October 20 at 11:59PM ET, and we really look forward to seeing what you create! I hope you have a wonderful day!
