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 we have some fabulous inspiration for you from our wonderful Lawn Fawnatics Design Team!

Samantha‘s super cool snow-globe card features Ready Set Snow in a fun and unique design! The Christmas greeting is found in our Say What? Christmas Critters set!

Joyce created a fun card with the cute bear in a sleigh from our Oh What Fun set! I love the gift packages tumbling out behind the sleigh, it’s such an adorable detail!

Jessica‘s sweet Stitched Circle Tag features a cute knitting sheep from Baaah Humbug along with a punny sentiment from the same set!

Franci‘s charming scene combines the cute critters bums from For You, Deer with the row of trees from Simply Celebrate Winter! She added a happy greeting from Snow Day!

Franci was so inspired she made a second card for this challenge! This one features our trumpet playing bear from Critter Concert! He’s playing in a Christmas concert on a stage created using our Shadow Box Card and the Shadow Box Card Theater Add-On!

Karin combined Oh What Fun with a Winter Village tree and the cute little village from Ready Set Snow with a gorgeous snowy night sky! She finished her card with a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame!

Christy bright and happy card features Winter Unicorn frolicking in some Puffy Cloud Borders with the cute unicorn from our special (no longer available) Black Friday gift set “A Little Sparkle”! The candy cane stripes add some whimsy and create a frame for the scene using a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Square Window!

The Toboggan Together deer play nicely with the cute little deer from Say What? Christmas Critters on Samantha‘s delightful card! Her greeting combines sentiments from both of the stamp sets!

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 41 tomorrow!


 

Jar of Mints Easel Card & Lip Balm Holder Gift Tag by Grace!

- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

Our sweet and talented Guest Designer, Grace Camou, joins us again today to share her super adorable easell card and matching gift tag!

When Grace’s beautiful card folds flat for mailing, it’s an adorable How You Bean? jar filled with pretty mint candies from Sweet Christmas and white embossed hearts on vellum…

…but when this clever easel card opens, her mason jar is a see-through shaker design with acetate on both sides! The penguins from Toboggan Together add whimsical fun!

Grace created the sweet lip balm holder using Say What? Gift Tags! She did partial die cutting to extend the length of the tag to fit the lip balm, then she used cellophane gift wrap to hold the tube in place! That is such a great idea!

She created a second tag layer with another Toboggan Together penguin and mint candy to coordinate with the fabulous card! The little tag and banner which she white embossed with the sentiments are found in our Double Slider Surprise die set!

The clever easel design allows the cute shaker jar to take center stage on Grace’s brilliant card!

Thank you so much, Grace, for sharing this brilliant card and gift tag with us today! I’m totally inspired and can’t wait to try your great ideas! We are so happy to have you as our Guest Designer!

Our Shaped Cards challenge will be open until Sunday, December 2nd at 11:59PM ET. We are looking forward to seeing your creative shaped card ideas!

Happy Crafting from your friends at Lawn Fawnatics!

Hello Fawnatics Friends! It’s time for a fresh new challenge! This time we have a Color Inspiration challenge for you based on the sweet rainbow colors of our Really Rainbow Christmas paper collection! You don’t have to use the Really Rainbow Christmas paper, just let colors inspire you! This new challenge will be open until Sunday, November 18th at 11:59PM ET. Your projects can be any theme just make sure they feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers!

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.

We are so happy to have an amazing Guest Designer join us for this challenge! Please welcome Mayra Duran-Hernandez of Mayra’s Designs! We have been so inspired by her beautiful coloring and wonderfully creative card designs so we are so excited to share her gorgeous designs with you!

Mayra created a gorgeous Double Slider Surprise card and a coordinating Say What? Gift Tag with a sweet pastel color palette with happy pops of bright green! She combined images and sentiments from lots of sets including Love You a Latte, Pumpkin Spice, Holiday Helpers, Caramel Apple and Frosty Fairy Friends!

I love that Mayra created a second card with the same beautiful design but this time with gorgeous rich red in the mix!

Now let’s see how our talented Design Team was inspired by this happy color palette!

This fun Reveal Wheel card by Samantha M features Holiday Helpers wrapping gifts for everyone on the “nice list”! The Reveal Wheel Square Add-On is the perfect size for this cute scene!

Karin used the color inspiration to create a cheery Winter Village scene for our adorable Oh What Fun sleigh and Santa bear! She created a gorgeous snowy night sky with ink blending and some white paint splatters!

Joyce was inspired to create a set of colorful pastel Say What? Gift Tags! She stamped the tags with Gingham Backdrops in ink colors of Wild Rose, Moonstone, Celery Stick, Sunflower and Mermaid! She colored the Say What? Christmas Critters in colors to coordinate!

Franci got really creative and made a fun Snow Cool scene on a shaped card! She used Outside In Stitched Christmas Tree Stackables and Stitched Christmas Tree Frames to make this adorable tree-shaped card!

Franci added the cute little Snow Cool igloo on the inside along with a great sentiment from Merry Messages!

Christy‘s card incorporates the Color Inspiration brilliantly with adorable critters in a fabulous collage design! She used Toboggan Together, Beary Happy Holidays, Cheery Christmas, Winter Otter and Sealed with a Kiss!

Samantha‘s card is so happy! She colored the Frosty Fairy Friends images with Copic markers in all the colors of the challenge palette! The Really Rainbow Christmas papers create the perfect backdrop!

Jessica‘s gorgeous card uses the challenge colors sparingly in the windows of the Little Town Border in this lovely snowy landscape! The White Christmas paper from Really Rainbow Christmas looks amazing the glittery silver Stitched Snowflakes!

This wonderful greeting from Winter Big Scripty Words is the perfect sentiment for this beautiful card!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next two weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 39 tomorrow!
