Hello Fawnatics friends! Today, Mimi joins us to share a “Wicked” inspired card! She pieced the characters together with some clever combinations of Lawn Cuts dies!


Mimi created Elphaba and Glinda from Mermazing Mermaid! She cut the pieces from white cardstock to color with Copic markers. Then she used a combination of Lawn Cuts sets to create their dresses and accessories. She provided helpful diagrams and a supply list below.


For the greeting, Mimi paired Henry Jr.’s ABCs with words from Apple-solutely Awesome. And she made the “Emerald City” using Village Border. She made the “yellow brick road” with Brick Stencil and On the Road!



This is so clever, such an amazing card, Mimi! Thank for the inspiration!

It comes as no surprise that our resident mermaid Jenn has a Mermazing Mermaid card to inspire you today! It’s a perfect way to close out the Design Team inspiration for Dies Only challenge which ends on June 2 at 11:59PM ET.


To create this mermazing design, Jenn got out the Distress Watercolor Pencils to add lots of movement, texture and lots of gorgeous color to the background. She created even more interest by splattering with more color and gold watercolor paint.


She also colored the paper-pieced Mermazing Mermaid with the watercolor pencils. It creates such a fun look to the cute mermaid.


Even the awesome Scalloped Arches Border got the watercolor treatment creating beautiful watery detail! Jenn colored the Finley’s ABCs letters before sprinkling on Distress Rock Candy glitter because you have to have glitter!

This card is so amazing, Jenn! Thanks so much for this brilliant Dies Only inspiration!


Be sure to check out Jenn’s upcoming online classes for June! Coming on June 14th are two self-paced online classes “Bring Your Greenthumb” and How Art Can It Be”. Then on June 21st is the Beachcomber Online Class with kit option. Visit Jenn’s classes page for all the information to sign up HERE!
