Lawn Fawn | Seaside Escape

Hello! I am delighted to share a seaside-themed card featuring the recently released Lawn Fawn Build-A-House – Beach Add-On die set. Picture a charming Robin’s Egg Blue beach house, adorned with pristine white trim and delicate coral accents. The card reflects the charm of the coastal lifestyle.

Lawn Fawn | Seaside Escape

  • With the Build-A-House and Build-A-House – Beach Add-On sets, I cut the house pieces. Although I had envisioned a tropical setting, the colors of the assembled house suggested something more subtle. You can see a tropical beach house scene HERE.
  • Next, I stamped the Car Critters Road Trip Add-On sentiment “Adventure Awaits” on Kraft cardstock, cutting the stamped panel with a die in the Stitched Hillside Borders set. I cut additional dunes using a different die in the same set and a die in the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders set. I cut the wave from darker teal cardstock using a die in the Ocean Wave Borders set.
  • To embellish, using the Scalloped Treat Box Beach House Add-On set, I cut the seagull from white and light gray cardstock. I colored the beak and legs with a Copic marker (Y38). With the Simple Puffy Cloud Frames I cut two clouds to embellish the scene.

The Sunny Studio Stamps Birthday Cat stamp set is packed with cat images that can be used for a variety of occasions, not just birthdays.

Sail Away with Sunny Studio Stamps

    • Stamp Birthday Cat images with VersaFine ink on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper, heat set, and watercolor with mediums of choice. When dry, cut with the coordinating dies.
    • Cut sailboat pieces from cardstock and foam (for depth). Glue pieces together. I used a now-retired Paper Smooches die set to create the sailboat.
    • Create the background by applying white pigment ink on light-blue cardstock through one of the stencils in the Lawn Fawn Cloud Background set.
    • To create the waves, cut Cosmic Sky cardstock with a die in the Ocean Wave Borders set. Trim and add to cloud background. Cut assembly to 4 x 5 1/4 inches and add to white canvas texture cardstock base.
    • Adhere sailboat pieces to card.
    • Cut sentiment with Journal Letter dies from white cardstock and foam. Glue together and adhere to card front.

Lawn Fawn | Sailing with the Car Critters

Hello! Today I am sharing a whimsical, nautical-themed card that uses the Lawn Fawn Car Critters stamp set in a novel way. Strips of cardstock mimic a cruise ship, proudly named the SS CUBBY. Through five die-cut windows, the Car Critters take center stage, offering a twist on their traditional use. This mini slimline card not only showcases the versatility of the Car Critters set but also demonstrates how simple techniques, like using strips of paper, a circle die, and an alpha die set, can yield a unique card.

Lawn Fawn | Sailing with the Car Critters

  • Stamp Car Critters on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper with VersaFine ink; heat set.
  • Color bears with watercoloring mediums of choice.
  • Create card base for a mini-slimline measuring 6 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches from Snowdrift cardstock.
  • Create portholes by cutting a Snowdrift cardstock panel, measuring 6 1/2 inches wide, five times with a 3/4 inch circle die.
  • Adhere the watercolored bears to the back of the porthole section.
  • Add strips of cardstock to card base to resemble cruise ship along with the porthole section.
  • Die-cut Journal Letters from Snowdrift cardstock and foam. Adhere foam to the back of the letters. Adhere letters to card front.
