A Clever Fortune Teller Tabby Scene with Samantha!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Be sure to join us this week for our September Inspiration Week at the Lawn Fawn blog! There will be some amazing inspiration, Intro Videos and of course, giveaways!

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a card that is inspired by the current “Create a Scene Challenge!” I love creating scenes because they are so much fun to put together. It is like each stamped image and additional elements build so much more interest to your project. For my card, I created a birthday party scene that combines multiple stamp sets together.

With some masking and cutting I was able to transform the cat from the Fortune Teller Tabby stamp set into a birthday party guest. Instead of having a crystal ball, the cat is celebrating with her fish friend who lives in an adorable fish bowl from Keep on Swimming! I drew lines on the bowl to create part of the cat’s body.  I masked the moons on the table cloth and replaced them with bubbles to coordinate with the fish! The accessories from the Party Animal stamp set coordinate perfectly with my party scene.

You have time to enter the “Create a Scene Challenge!” The challenge is open until this Sunday September 15 at 11:59PM ET, and there is so much inspiration from both the design team and current entries! I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Supplies:

Have a wonderful weekend, Fawnatics friends!

Let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired to “create a scene”!

Christy‘s whimsical scene combines lots of critter sets, from Critters at the Dog Park to Wheelie Like You and Keep on Swimming, sharing comical antics! The “friends furever” sentiment from Meow You Doin’ makes this a perfect friendship card!

Franci‘s scene is a framed art piece that’s a clever shaker! She used images from Toboggan Together with a cool inky sky background and filled the scene with “snowballs” that move as you gently shake the picture!

Birthday cards are the perfect opportunity to create a cute scene! Here Samantha combined Birthday Before ‘n Afters and Party Animal! Just Stitching Double Rectangles add sweet and subtle detail to this fun design!

Jessica gave her Shadow Box Card scene lots of frosty detail! The Mice on Ice cuties are enjoying skating fun in a snowy scene created with Snow Cool, Forest Border and Chunky Glitter!

Joyce created her awesome Spooky Village scene using a Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape! That awesome full moon sky adds to the cool Halloween vibe!

Karin‘s Shadow Box Card is hanging on to the last bit of summer with a fun Smooth Sailing scene! She added the palm trees and grass from Tropical Backdrop to finish this beachy summer design!

Samantha used the Magic Picture Changer to create a sweet Manatee-rific scene! Her beautifully ink-blended card is a wonderful way to congratulate a newly engaged couple!

Jenn created a light-hearted holiday scene combining two new sets, Yeti or Not and Christmas Fishes! How cute is that surfing yeti?

It’s that time again, Fawnatics Friends! We have a brand new challenge for you today! We would like you to create a card or crafty project that includes something see-through! Add some vellum, create a shaker card, make a card with a window…see where your imagination takes you!

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, September 1st at 11:59PM ET.

We have a super sweet and talented Guest Designer joining us for this challenge! Help us welcome, Tammy Stark! She shares her amazing creativity on Instagram as paperprettyboutique!

Tammy created a super charming card with a trio of Tiny Gift Box Cat Add-On kitties and their fishy friends! Each fishbowl is a shaker element made with a Stitched Circle Frame and strip of cardstock to make the lip of the bowl. So creative! Tammy filled the fishbowls with cute critters from Fintastic Friends along with tiny seed beads. The sweet message in a speech bubble is from Say What? Pets!

Now let’s check out what our awesome Design Team has created to inspire you!

Jessica‘s amazing alcohol inked background could not be more beautiful! She used the Sunray Backdrop, die cut from gold glitter cardstock as the see-through element. I love the silhouette Palm Tree Border and glittery Scripty Hello!

The cuteness here is off the charts! Samantha die cut the Stitched Gift Card Pocket from acetate then slipped this adorable Lovable Legends card inside! To create the look of Loch Ness, she added a vellum layer cut with a Stitched Wavy Border and a piece of the Bayou Backdrop.

Franci crafted an adorable Keep on Swimming card with sweet pastel colors! She turned the little fishbowl into the shaker element using the Reveal Wheel Keep on Swimming Add-On. She filled the fishbowl with Chunky and Prisma glitter and sealed it in with acetate!

My age is really showing, but when I saw Christy‘s gorgeous card I started singing, “Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream…”! This dreamy design uses a layer of vellum for the clouds! The Sandman is our cute gnome, his net is from Butterfly Kisses and the teddy bear is from Holiday Helpers!

Samantha‘s Shadow Box Card fits the challenge theme with its 3D scene of Wild for You and Critters in the Jungle images! Scroll down to see how she stamped and colored the outside of this amazing design!

Joyce created a fun RAWRSOME Scalloped Treat Box filled with candy! Her see-through element is a little window in the side covered with acetate so you can see the treats inside! So clever!

Karin‘s gorgeous card has an acetate card base layered with a Fancy Lattice Backdrop! This sweet birthday card features the cute penguin from Toboggan Together!

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 58 tomorrow!
