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!

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!

Now let’s check out the amazing inspiration by our Design Team!

Karin‘s rainbow trees are from our Snow Day stamp set! That pretty greeting is also found in this cute and classic set! This is such a beautiful slimline design!

Samantha backed her charming Christmas Fishes seaweed tree with lots of sparkle! Her cute little scene includes the happy Winter Narwhal!

Franci‘s whimsical little scene features the tree from Christmas Dreams. I think those cute Snow Cool penguins might have some trouble fitting it inside their home! That perfect greeting is from Merry Messages!

I love how Caly made the tree cookies the star of her card! This adorable design features How You Bean? and the Christmas Cookie Add-On! She created a kitchen counter backdrop with the Brick Stencil and Woodgrain cardstock!

Samantha M created a gorgeous rainbow of trees from the Snow Day set! The beautiful sentiment is from that set as well. She added pretty texture in the background with Snowflake Trio Stencil!

Joyce made her Christmas Dreams tree stand out with some beautiful ink blending with Victorian Velvet and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink! The cute Cheery Christmas critters are busy trimming the tree!

Christy‘s warm and rosy scene is a combination of Christmas Dreams and Den Sweet Den! The pretty tree takes center stage inside the Stitched Den!

Jessica‘s underwater scene shines the spotlight on the unique Christmas Fishes tree! She combined lots of fish-filled sets to complete this festive holiday gathering!

Jenn‘s gorgeous design features the sweet Christmas tree from the Trim the Tree set! She used her inky magic with Distress regular and oxide inks on the tree and the colorful background. She finished the card with a sentiment from Winter Scripty Sentiments and the Snowflake Border!

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 87 tomorrow!

Christy’s Wonderful Winter New Year Card!

Hey friends, it’s Christy! I hope you all had the very merriest of Christmases! Now that we’re just days away from switching out our calendars, I wanted to create a card that captured that spirit. A new dawn of a new day of a new year.

I stamped out my images from Sealed with a Kiss, colored them with some cool gray Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I created a background by sponging Distress Inks onto a Small Stitched Circle Stackables to look like the sky at sunrise.

I die-cut a snowdrift with Stitched Hillside Borders and stamped my Merry Messages sentiment on it using Manatee ink. Then I glued that down to the bottom of my sunrise scene and added my seals. I popped that up over some Gotta Have Gingham patterned paper trimmed down with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables, and a Really Rainbow Christmas flag with the end selectively die-cut with one of the Stitched Party Banners.

As a finishing touch, I added a few stars with a white gel pen to signify the night turning into day. If you’d like to see how this card came together, you can check it out on my YouTube Channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

I wish you all a peaceful end to 2018 and hope that the new year brings you joy and happiness and lots of crafty mojo! Speaking of which, there’s still time to enter our Wonderful Winter Challenge, it will be open until Sunday, January 6th at 11:59PM ET ! We can’t wait to see what you create.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and lots of crafty adventures in 2019 from your friends at Lawn Fawnatics!
