Jenn’s Clever Card Inspired by True Crime

- Nancy Krueger Leave a comment

We hope you are having fun with the Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song challenge and we can’t wait to see your creativity! This challenge will be open until this Sunday, April 3 at 11:59PM ET.

Jenn joins us today with a super clever card inspired by her interest in true crime!

To create her “crime scene” Jenn combined Happy Village, Village Shops and Village Heroes sets. This is such a clever way to send apologies; her “Mea Culpa” greeting is spelled out with Finley’s ABCs.

Jenn even included the murder weapon; can you spot it? It’s from Pick of the Patch!

The crime scene tape is made using Harold’s ABCs along with yellow and black marker.

I love that Jenn includes her Copic marker list to make it easy to recreate her designs!

Thanks so much, Jenn for sharing your clever and unique inspiration today!

And for all the true crime fans out there, Jenn created a playlist of her favorite podcasts on Spotify.

Jenn has two new online Lawn Fawn classes coming up! Berry Fun and Rain or Shine! Have you signed up yet? These classes are open to everyone, worldwide! More details here

And be sure to put the next “Create with Us” Live event on your calendar and join Jenn and Kelly on April 8th as they craft up some cute Beary Rainy Day cards! More details about it here

We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge!

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 how our amazing Design Team was inspired by this new theme!

Franci combined lots of the cute little things in Ocean Shell-fie and Mermaid for You to create this happy design!

Caly used the little things from A Bug Deal to create a colorful shaker card! She used the negative of the Giant Sending Big Hugs die to make the shaker window and backed it with Really Rainbow paper!

The adorable Bubbles of Joy mice are the little things in Christy‘s sweet card design! Those bubbles are amazing!

Jessica cleverly used Peas on Earth as her “little things”! It’s never too early to start making holiday cards and you probably have lots of Lawn Fawn sets with just the right little images!

Joyce had a similar idea to Caly’s! Great, creative minds thinking alike! The industrious ants from Crazy Antics look adorable scurrying across the Giant Sending Big Hugs die cut!

Karin‘s cheery card features Car Critters and Village Heroes! Her beautiful clean and simple design has just a hint of inking in the background to ground the images.

I love this clever card by Samantha! The Tiny Fairy Tale characters are great for this challenge! And the little sand castle from Life is Good is sized perfectly for a little fairy kingdom! Samantha used a Stitched Scalloped Square Frame and the long cloud from Unicorn Picnic to add magic to her design!

Samantha M. created a perfectly punny custom greeting to go with all her little things with shells! She combined Fintastic Friends, You Are Sublime and Ocean Shell-fie with the Stitched Wave Borders to make an underwater scene! She stenciled bubbles in the background and stamped lots tiny fish from Mermaid for You as well!

Jessica wasn’t the only team member looking ahead to some holiday fun! Jenn’s jack o’lantern is made with Outside In Stitched Pumpkin. She filled the background with fun little things from Plan on It: Holidays and more of our Halloween sets!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 102 – All Things Ocean tomorrow!

Our awesome Design Team has some fantastic Cards for Kids inspiration for you!

Samantha‘s colorful birthday card features You’re Claw-some! The bear from Critter Concert is a perfect fit for her scene, after some fussy cutting to remove his trumpet! He looks like he’s having lots of luck with the claw machine!

Christy created her amazing birthday card on a panel of Spiffy Speckles paper die cut with the Sunburst Backdrop. She arranged colorful animals from Critters on the Savanna and Wild for You around the Magic Messages greeting!

Joyce‘s card is perfect for a fairytale-loving kid! She created a castle in the clouds with Build-A-Castle and Puffy Cloud Backdrop: Portrait! The Unicorn Picnic critters and fairies look right at home in this happy scene!

Karin‘s kid-friendly birthday card features Village Heroes in a clean and simple grid design!

Franci‘s design features the cute mice of Bubbles of Joy and the Bubble Border to create a sweet card! It is perfect for sending a Scripty Bubble Sentiments “smile” to brighten the day a child!

What could be better than a rainbow chameleon on a kid’s birthday card? Samantha created an inky Stitched Rainbow and added it to layered Shimmer cardstock Zig Zag Squares!

Caly‘s all die cut card is delightful! She inked up the ice cream scoops from I Scream, You Scream in cheery colors and added sweet smiling faces! A cherry on top is the perfect detail. She finished her card with Scripty Sweet and layered everything on a Quilted Backdrop!

Jessica created a modified Center Picture Window Card with Puffy Cloud Borders to create an awesome graduation card! She used Upon a Star for the critter, Simply Celebrate Spring for the cap and So Jelly for the perfect message!

Jenn‘s charming birthday design features the Wild for You lion! He pops against the watercolor Salvaged Patina Distress background! She gave this card a happy vibe with balloons from Bicycle Built for You and a Happy Happy Happy greeting!
