- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

We hope you will join us on Thursday for the start of our June Inspiration Week! We will be showcasing the rest of our Summer 2019 Release with Design Team inspiration, Intro Videos and lots of giveaways! It all happens at the Lawn Fawn blog, see you there!

Our amazing Guest Designer, Mona Toth is back today to share a set of adorable name tags that are Perfect for Parties!

Mona started the process with coloring. She stamped the images from Octopi my Heart, So Jelly and Year Six with Jet Black ink, then colored them with Copic Markers. If you would like to see her coloring tutorial check out her video HERE.

When the coloring was done she picked colorful papers from the Really Rainbow 6×6 paper pad to coordinate the cute critters.

Mona die cut 8 colored speech bubbles and 8 white speech bubbles from the Open Me coordinating die set to layer for each name tag.

In the end she adhered everything together with Lawn Fawn Glue Tube and personalized the cute tags with handwritten names.

Thank you so much for sharing these adorable party accessories with us today, Mona! And big thanks and hugs for being an awesome Guest Designer for the Perfect for Parties challenge!

The Perfect for Parties challenge will be open until Sunday, June 16th at 11:59PM ET. We are looking forward to seeing what you create! You can find the challenge post HERE!

Have a wonderful week!

We have invited Mona Toth to join us as our Guest Designer for this challenge! Her bright and cheerful designs are favorites with cardmakers on Instagram and we knew she would make something amazing for this challenge!

Mona created a totally brilliant infinity style party invitation! Each time the card is unfolded it opens to another fabulous scene with more to the invitation!

Mona embellished her infinity card with many underwater classics like Mermaid for You, You are Sublime, Octopi my Heart and So Jelly along with Quinn’s Capital ABCs dies.

Infinity card designs can be a little tricky to make so Mona made a video tutorial to show you how to create one! You can check it out at her YouTube channel.

Now let’s check out the fabulous Perfect for Parties projects by our amazing Design Team!

Grace‘s adorable picnic party decor is perfect for celebrating summer! She customized the Cake Slice Box with a mix of green and red patterned papers to create the fun watermelon treat boxes! Then she used a much loved older mini set, Happy Summer to make watermelon cupcake toppers and to decorate the Scalloped Treat Box and a sweet little note!

Christy has a new puppy to love so she made a super fun treat box for Gemma‘s new friends! She used the Milk Carton die set along with cute pups from Critters at the Dog Park and Say What? Pets! She decorated the milk carton box with elements from Scalloped Treat Box Spring House Add-On!

Samantha is celebrating her son’s graduation from 5th grade and that’s a pretty big occasion! She made these totally cool straws for the party using Outside In Stitched Cloud Stackables and Stitched Cloud Frames along with the paper airplane from Plane and Simple and a fun sentiment from Party Animal on a Fancy Wavy Banner!

Jessica created these super cute Tiny Gift Boxes for her music students to celebrate the end of year recital! The gift boxes are decorated with images from Critter Concert and Little Music Notes!

Joyce used Goodie Bag and a Stitched Gift Card Pocket to make a super adorable birthday gift bag! She used Gingham Backdrops to add some cute pattern to the box, then she filled the pocket with little bears from For You, Deer!

What is better for a summer party than yummy strawberry pie! Samantha created the perfect pie treat box using Cake Slice Box and the new new Stitched Cupcake die set!

However you choose just let us see the original project along with the remake! Your projects should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers.
