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!

We are so happy to welcome Lynn Kramer-Put as our amazing Guest Designer for this challenge! You may know her as thequeensscene on Instagram and her blog! I know her lovely card designs will inspire you!

Lynn created a gorgeous Double Slider Surprise card featuring Be Hap-pea! I love how she incorporated the diagonal stripe from the sketch by placing a pea pod in the top right and bottom left corners, that is just so clever! She added lots of beautiful color with the Spring Fling papers!

Now let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired by the card sketch!

Samantha created a clean and simple design without extra layers! Her cute Mermaid for You couple are featured on a beautiful watercolor wave mimics the diagonal stripe!

Joyce omitted the diagonal stripe completely and chose to use the circle shape to create an adorable Oh Gnome scene! She also switched the sentiment to the opposite side! She layered the Stitched Circle with a Zig Zag Circle to frame her scene which she made using Meadow Borders, Simple Puffy Clouds and trees from Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape!

Christy followed the sketch pretty closely when creating this fabulously fun RAWRSOME design! She added in the stripes using Cilantro, Peacock and Fake Tan cardstock on the Narwhal background. The cute stitched clouds are found in the Spring Showers die set!

Grace created her diagonal wave pattern using a Scalloped Rectangle as a stencil for ink blending! Then she used an Outside In Stitched Circle to make the shaker window for the Get Well Before ‘n Afters whales (one of which is mirror stamped).

Jessica color coordinated her Layered Butterfly with a lovely watercolor painted stripe! I love how she added the sparkly silver butterfly body!

The For You, Deer bear is so adorable just hanging out on Karin‘s cheery polka dot card design!

Franci followed the sketch using shiny foiled stripes! Isn’t it so cute how her Butterfly Kisses scene goes beyond the Scalloped Circle background?

Samantha‘s sweet thank you card combines Chirpy Chirp Chirp with with How You Bean?! She created the sketch background using Spring Fling papers!

Jenn created a magical rainbow undersea world for her sketch card! She used Mermaid for You and a rainbow of cardstock and ink colors along with glittery gold sparkle cardstock! The greeting is from Wavy Sentiments stamped on a Fancy Wavy Banner!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next 3 weeks and of course we’ll share our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 50 tomorrow!

-Set up your photo with some space all around your project to allow for us to crop as needed
-Make sure your photos are at least 1000 pixels wide (we prefer sharing photos that are uniform in size)
-Use a light color as the backdrop for your photos; this helps your cards and crafts to stand out

Happy Crafting from your friends at Lawn Fawnatics!

Your projects should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will be open until Sunday, March 17 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!

We are happy to welcome Davina Cantrell as our amazing Guest Designer for this challenge! You know and love her as popsiclesticks on Instagram! Her brilliant cards are frequently inspired by movies, especially Disney and Harry Potter! Wait till you see what she has created for this challenge!

For her featured card, Davina created a tall 8.5″ x 3.5″ card! It really works for this amazing Peter Pan inspired card! She combined so many different sets then used them so creatively to tell this story!

For Peter, she used the boy from Bicycle Built for You and Tinkerbell is a tiny fairy from our Thanksgiving free gift set, A Little Sparkle! To create Skull Rock, Davina started with the speech bubble from Love Letters and added the ghostly eyes and nose with Copic markers. Then she layered the hills from Ahoy Matey in front to finish the pirate lair!

To create the scene, Davina also used Mermaid for You, Wild for You, Toadally Awesome, Ahoy Matey, Meadow Borders, Ocean Wave Borders and Stitched Wave Borders!

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

Can you guess Jessica‘s inspiration for this amazing Shadow Box Card? To make this scene from Ratatouille come to life she used a whole bunch of sets in totally clever ways! Be sure to click on her name to visit her blog for a full list of all the products she used and more photos of this fun 3D card!

Grace found all the characters for her delightful Winnie the Pooh scene in our sets, Critter Concert, Bicycle Built for You and Hay There! I think it’s so fun that she used Puffy Cloud Borders to make the treetops!

Christy created a lovely scene using Baked with Love to depict her favorite book, The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister!

Karin created a friendly version of the shark from Jaws! It’s hard to believe our cute Duh-nuh critter could be the ruthless shark depicted in the movie; he’s a kinder, gentler version!

Ahoy Matey was used by Franci to create this clean and simple design inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean films! I love how she used a scoring board to add the embossed lines to add interest by framing her cute vignettes!

Samantha‘s beautiful birthday card takes inspiration from The Lion King! The Critters on the Savanna set has the regal lion while the custom sentiment is stamped with Harold’s ABCs! That background is all sorts of awesome!

Joyce‘s La La Land inspired card is totally charming! She used Village Border and the streetlamp from Here We Go A-Waddling to set the scene for the characters from Bicycle Built for You! The song title was added with the help of Violet’s ABCs.

Samantha C used our new RAWRSOME set with some help from Critters from the Past to bring her Land Before Time inspiration to life! How amazing is her prehistoric looking background?!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and of course we’ll share our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 47 tomorrow!
