Lawn Fawn - Right as Rain

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 154 | Into the Woods

Hello! I’m delighted to share a card that embodies the “Into the Woods” theme for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 154. Step into a world where whimsical critters drive, evergreen trees stretch towards the sky, and the call of adventure echoes through the air.

For the challenge, I’ve crafted a scene that features a car adorned with fishing gear, accompanied by two critters ready for an outdoor escapade. The forest border, mountain peaks, and the backdrop of evergreen trees complete the scene.

I used the Car Critters and the Road Trip Add-On stamps and coordinating dies to create the focal point. I stamped the images on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and used markers to color them. Once dry, I cut the images with their coordinating dies. To create the road, I used the On the Road die set. To create the forest in the background, I used the Forest Border die. I added trees cut with dies in the Forest Backdrop in the foreground.

Previously, I shared a card featuring the Car Critters set HERE.

Winter Wonderland | Lawn Fawnatics Challenge

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in the Lawn Fawnatics’ Christmas in July Challenge for which I have created a winter-themed card.

For the challenge, I created a winter scene background featuring the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Cabin perched upon a gentle snowbank and a night sky adorned with stenciled snow. I previously shared cards showcasing the Build-A-Cabin HERE and HERE. Crafting the cabin from Sugar Plum cardstock added playfulness to the scene.
I stamped images from the adorable Lawn Fawn Snowball Fight set and brought them to life with watercolors. Mice throwing snowballs adds whimsy to the scene.
After applying white paste through the Snow Flurries Background, I sprinkled on Sparkle Dust Glitter and set the panel aside to dry.
When I assembled the scene, I used foam adhesive to add depth to the elements.
To embellish, I added Mini Snowflakes cut from Pop Up white glitter foam.

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.

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.

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.
