Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 30 – Cards for Guys

- Nancy Krueger 16 Comments

It’s time for another Lawn Fawnatics challenge! If you are like us, you know the struggle to make cards for the men in our lives! So let’s inspire each other with a challenge dedicated to increasing a stash of masculine cards! This challenge will run through Sunday, June 17th (Father’s Day here in the US) at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select a winner 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!

Now let’s be inspired by our amazing Design Team!

Franci created a fun design with Monster Mash that’s perfect for a guy of any age! How cool is that Stitched Heart cut in strips as the background!

Jessica‘s hubby is a band director so her brilliant design reflects his musical interests! She combined Happy Happy Happy with Critter Concert to create this stunning card!

We know most guys love the outdoors and camping is a great way to experience it! Joyce‘s adorable design pairs Love You S’more with Happy Trails!

Karin‘s clean and simple Reveal Wheel design features our adorable Duh-nuh shark! A watercolor background is all this awesome little scene needs to make it so special!

Christy‘s underwater scene is totally “sublime”! From the ink-blended backdrop to her awesome coloring this You Are Sublime design is spectacular!

Who says guys don’t like cute? Samantha‘s delightful card adds whimsical elements from Plane and Simple with a clean design that’s sure to make any dad smile!

Jenn‘s pirate-inspired Ahoy Matey card is a layered masterpiece!

This awesome card by Jenn combines Stitched Wave Borders, Stitched Hillside Borders, Puffy Cloud Borders and Palm Trees dies inside a Stitched Scalloped Square Frame!

Samantha‘s whimsical Dad’s day scene combines Yeti Set Go, Dad+Me and Beary Happy Holidays! She used a Stitched Journaling Card and Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop to create a fun panel on a Gotta Have Gingham layer!

Kate‘s beautiful clean and simple design features Float My Boat stamped in nautical colors of Deep Sea, Merman and Lobster! Her clever greeting combines Simply Sentiments with ombre inked Louie’s ABCs!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next two weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 29 tomorrow!


 

A Colorful Raindrop Card by Samantha M!

- Nancy Krueger Leave a comment

Our Queen of Clean and Simple cards, Samantha M joins us today to share a sweet “missing you” card!

Samantha used the clouds, smiley face and sentiment from our Plane and Simple stamp set! The sentiment is white heat-embossed on Narwhal cardstock.

To create those amazing rainbow hued raindrops, Samantha mixed various colors of Distress Oxide inks with white embossing paste. Then she applied the paste using a raindrop stencil! So beautiful!

I’m sure this beautiful design will inspire you to make a colorful CAS design! Thank you so much Samantha for sharing with us today!

Our current Color Inspiration challenge will be open until Sunday April 1 at 11:59PM ET. We are looking forward to seeing your colorful cards and crafty projects!
