Little Golden Birthday Card = Lawn Fawnatics #169


Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this time it's our popular Inspired by a Book, Movie, or Song! The books that first inspired my great love of reading were the Little Golden Books. There were so many clever stories and delightful illustrations. So my card is inspired by the back cover of all the Little Golden Books with the animals clustered around the edges framing up the message in the middle.


I wanted to have a good mix of characters, but since the possibilities of which ones to use was endless, I narrowed them down to a woodland critter theme. I pulled together images from so many sets, including Porcupine for YouWood You Be MineScent with LoveHive FiveA Bug DealLet's Go NutsCritters in the ArcticHappy HarvestParty Animal, and Magic Messages. I stamped all the images in Jet Black Ink and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


Then I trimmed down some Spiffier Speckles 6x6 patterned paper with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables and glued that to a Sage Leaf card base. I stamped a sentiment from Magic Messages on more patterned paper with Noble Fir Ink, trimmed it out with the matching die, and popped it up with foam tape in the center of the card. Then I arranged all the images around it, filling it with as many little details I could squeeze in.

Plan a Card with Me: St. Patrick's Day Edition

Tea Party Birthday Card - Lawn Fawnatics #168


Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this time the theme is one of my absolute favorites: Birthday! I love to make birthday cards. There's just something so joyful about them. For this one, I wanted to make a really detailed woodland scene using a whole bunch of images, so I combined Porcu-pine for YouTea-rriffic Day, the Tea-rriffic Day Add-onToucan Do ItButterfly KissesOur Friendship Grows, and You Are Sublime. I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with their matching dies.


For the background, I started with a piece of Bristol and blended on Distress Oxide Inks. For the sky, I used Salvaged Patina along with the Cloudy Stencil. For the ground, I used Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn applied with the Slimline Grassy Stencil. Then I cut the largest Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame out of Dark Brown Woodgrain Cardstock and popped that up over top with foam tape.


I stamped a sentiment from Party Animal at the bottom of the focal panel and adhered that to a Barn Red card base. Then I adhered my images using a mixture of foam tape and liquid glue to create some depth and dimension. To finish off the card, I added a few touches of my favorite embellishment, Stardust Stickles.


If you'd like to see the entire card making process, you can check out the video tutorial by clicking below, or find it HERE on my YouTube channel. I really hope you enjoy it! Be sure to stop by the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with to inspire you, and to link up your own birthday projects to play along! We can't wait to see what you create!

Garden Party Birthday Card


Hey friends, today I have a square Springtime card to share with you. For this one, I combined images from Hello Bluebird Garden FriendsGarden PartyBloomin Happy, and Cake Time. I stamped all of the images in Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers to match the Carta Bella Flora #6 paper pad, and trimmed them out with the coordinating dies.


I die cut the patterned paper with the Gallery Frame #7, then popped it up with foam tape over some Bristol Cardstock. I watercolored a simple background using Shaded Lilac and Bundled Sage Distress Ink, then stamped a sentiment from Birthday Script in the top left corner. I added my images with a mix of liquid glue and foam tape and finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.
