Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 113 – Holiday Critters

Holiday crafting is in full swing and all of the Lawn Fawn critters are ready to get in on the fun! For this new challenge we would like you to feature our critters in a holiday themed project!

We invite you to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will run for 3 weeks and be open until Sunday, December 5th at 11:59PM ET.

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! 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!

Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Samantha‘s whimsical holiday card features our cute unicorns filling in for Santa’s regular reindeer team! The fun pastel color combo adds to the whimsy! She combined Ho-Ho-Holidays, Sweet Christmas, A Little Sparkle and Unicorn Picnic.

It’s a Penguin Party on Joyce‘s very cool Christmas card! She created this happy scene using Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape!

To create her “purr-fect” Christmas scene, Christy shopped her stash to combine lots of images! Surprisingly, the sentiment is a mix of Spooktacular and Baaah Humbug! She found the cute Santa hat in Baaah Humbug as well. Other sets used for this cheery design are: Flirty Frames, Joy to All, Purrfectly Wicked, Furry and Bright, Holiday Helpers and Cheery Christmas!

Caly‘s beautiful slimline card features an older penguin set, Here We Go A-Waddling! This set of carol singing critters comes with the lamp post! Caly used the Christmas Dreams tree and added pretty stenciled snowflakes in the background!

Karin‘s pretty design demonstrates how to use critters from non-holiday sets to create a festive holiday card! She used the Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks with holiday images from Ho-Ho-Holidays and Winter Village with a sentiment from Frosty Fairy Friends! She added wonderful detail to her design using Fancy Scalloped Rectangle and some cleverly scored lines.

Samantha‘s charming design shows our Yeti or Not critters decorating the forest trees with lights from Furry and Bright and a shiny star! For the background she stenciled with Snowflake Background Stencils!

Jessica used our Beary Happy Holidays bear to fill in for Santa in this happy scene! She used Forest Backdrop over a beautifully inked background and Giant Merry Christmas as her bold greeting! Santa’s sleigh and reindeer are from Ho-Ho-Holidays!

Franci‘s Toadally Awesome card is another example of adding holiday flair with accessories to otherwise non-holiday critters! She built her little scene on a Watercolor Wishes Rainbow panel adding cute holiday touches with Baaah Humbug, a speech bubble from A Birdie Told Me and the word Christmas from Yeti or Not! I love that the fonts match!

Jenn’s trio of adorable cats star in this festive and fun holiday card! She used Purrfectly Wicked for the cats with Baaah Humbug and Furry and Bright hats and holiday accessories. She stenciled snowflakes in the background and added a glittery Oliver’s Stitched ABCs greeting!

I hope you have been inspired by these amazing projects! We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 3 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 112 – Make the Sentiment the Star tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!

Caly’s Magical Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up

Hi Friends! It’s Caly with you today, sharing a 3D card for current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge!  This challenge runs through September 5th, 2021 11:59pm PT.  You have lots of time to join in the fun and we hope to see you participate!  Lawn Fawn has lots of dies that create 3D cards. 



For my 3D project today, I’m using the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die to create a modified box card.  By modified, I mean I cut off 3 of the flaps to create a more simple version.  There is less to decorate, but your scene can still be impactful!

I stamped images using Unicorn Picnic and Fairy Friends and colored them with these Copic markers. 
Reds (door):  R32, R35, R37
Yellows (hair):  Y11, Y32, Y38
Greens (foliage): YG11, YG06, YG09
Teals (house and fairy dress):  BG10, BG11, BG24  
Blues (wings and clouds):  B0000, B00
Purples (flowers): V000, V01, V04
Pinks (house and fairy dress):  RV10, RV13, RV17
Grays (unicorns):  W00, W01, W3, W6
Browns (hair):  E30, E31, E34, E37
Skin:  R20, E000, E51, E11

Next, I die-cut my Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up base in white cardstock.  For the decorative panels, I used the Watercolor Wishes Petite Paper Pack in green for bottom of the box and blue for the top portion of the box.  For the box inserts, I used cloud dies from the Shadow Box Card Rainbow Add-On.  These dies coordinate and work well together (a Shadow Box die would work great for this challenge too!)

I adhered all my decorative panels and inserts to the box to put it together before creating my scene.  The bottom of the box is a mini scene of the fairies and the top of the box is a sky scene with unicorns.  I call this a two-fer…hehe.  I hope you like it!

The best part is always that it folds flat and fits inside an A2-sized envelope!  So much fun to mail to a friend or relative.  I hope this project inspires you to create and join us for the Lawn Fawnatics 3D Card Challenge.  Again, this challenge ends on September 5th, 2021 at 11:59pm PT.  Thanks so much for visiting today! ~Caly
