Samantha’s Snowy Den Sweet Den Scene

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

Woohoo! We are so excited, our new Valentine 2021 Release is in the shop at lawnfawn.com and at your favorite crafty stores!

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a fun Christmas themed card that is inspired by the current Color Inspiration challenge. I love these types of challenges so much because it allows you to use color palettes that you may not typically choose. The palette for the challenge is so perfect for winter and the holiday season. 

I created a snowy scene with the adorable bears from the Den Sweet Den stamp set. They are relaxing and enjoying their time together as a family. A freshly baked plate of cookies are the perfect treat to enjoy while passing time before they can open their gifts. 


The Sparkle Pixie Dust Cardstock adds a sense of magic to the scene with the glittery texture and shimmer. I love adding the sparkle cardstocks to my projects because it just brings everything to life and enhances it.   

You still have time to enter the Color Inspiration challenge. The challenge runs through Sunday, December 20th 11:59 EST.  We look forward to seeing what you create! 


Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Adorable Happy Holiday Critters Inspiration with our Guest Designer Valerie

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Our Happy Holiday Critters challenge has one more week until the gallery closes! We are so impressed with all the great entries so far! We hope you will check out all the amazing inspiration and join the fun!

Today we are happy to share another fantastic Happy Holiday Critters card by our Guest Designer Valerie!

This tall slimline design is perfect for Valerie’s multi-layered Winter Village scene! It is complete with adorable yetis snowboarding and enjoying frosty treats!

Using a combination of Stitched Hillside Borders and Simple Stitched Hillside Borders, all cut from Pixie Dust Sparkle cardstock, Valerie was able to create the look of a charming winter village on a snow-covered mountainside!

I love that Valerie added a fun interactive element by creating a slider for the cool snowboarding yeti!

Valerie included the Tiny Christmas Santa with the sleigh and reindeer from Over the Mountain Borders at the top! She used two patterns from the Into the Woods Remix collection: the clouds of Spruce Remix and the happy orange stripes of Oak Remix!

Thank you so much for joining us for this challenge, Valerie! We loved sharing your amazing cards; your creativity totally inspired us!

Happy crafting to all of our Fawnatics friends!

A Super Happy Holiday Critter Card with Christy

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Happy Holiday Critters Challenge! I love making scene cards, and I combined so many different sets into this one. I used Beary Happy Holidays, Cheery Christmas, Mice on Ice, Holiday Helpers, Yeti or Not, and Simply Celebrate Winter. I colored all my images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For the background, I used a piece of bokeh paper from the Snow Day Remix 6×6 pad for the sky. I added stitching detail to the edges with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables, then added some tree silhouettes with the Stitched Tree Border. Overtop of that, I layered two Stitched Hillside Borders, one glued flat to the card, and the other popped up with foam tape.

I cut out an icy pond using the Bayou Backdrop and heat embossed a little swirl of ice skating tracks from Mice on Ice. I added that to the lower left corner of the card. Then I added my images into the scene with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape.

The little snowman was from Simply Celebrate Winter. I just masked him off from the rest of his friends when stamping and used the dies to cut out most of him, and my Cutter Bee scissors to trim down the rest.


To finish things off, I added a sentiment stamped in Bubblegum Ink and trimmed out with an Everyday Sentiment Banner, and a bit of Stardust Stickles for a little sparkle.

I also finished off the inside using Simply Celebrate Winter, which you can check out in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

The Happy Holiday Critters challenge will be open until Sunday December 6 at 11:59PM ET. We hope you will join us!

Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Christy!
