Lawn Fawn | Mixed Media Birthday Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a birthday card, featuring Lawn Fawn products, that I am entering into the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #144 – All Things Birthday. This is not a card I just whipped up. It took time to watercolor the images and foil the background and letters! I learned a lot along the way.

Lawn Fawn | Mixed Media Birthday Card

  • Stamp images from the Wild for You and Party Animal sets in VersaFine ink on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper; heat set ink. Color images using Zig and Tombow markers. Once dry, cut with coordinating dies.
    Fox: Zig Brown, Zig Oatmeal; Alligator: Tombow Sap Green, Zig Deep Green; Mouse: Tombow Chocolate; Elephant: Zig Dark Gray; Giraffe: Zig Brown, Zig Light Brown, Tombow Peach.
  • Cut Party Balloons from watercolor paper and color with markers (Zig Persian Blue, Tombow Warm Red, Zig Bright Yellow). Die-cut strings from white cardstock and attach to dried balloons.
  • Foil Iridescent foil to toner sheet. Cut sentiment from foil with Cole’s ABCs. Cut same letters from Silver Glitter Foam and glue to the back of the foiled letters (glitter side down). (Any foam that can be die cut would work.) Cut Matte Black cardstock 1 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches and adhere letters to strip.
  • Apply Therm O Web Blanco Transfer Gel through the straight Skinny Stripes stencil on Sea Glass cardstock. Once dry, foil with Rainbow Deco Foil. (Notice that the stripes of the rainbow go from left to right, not top to bottom.) Trim panel to A2-size and add to card base. Adhere Vellum to panel with double-sided tape along the bottom which the sentiment strip will cover.
  • Add sentiment strip to background, attach balloons to background, and attach animals with foam adhesive. Glue can be added to the vellum behind the items to help secure it to the foiled background.

Lawn Fawn | Teacup Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a Valentine created with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Teacup set. I have previously created cards with the set here and here.

    • Cut cups with the Stitched Teacup set from patterned paper and Chocolate Bar cardstock; assemble stack. (Teacups are taped together on the back.)
    • Stamp Simply Celebrate Hearts sentiment on white cardstock. Cut with largest rectangle in the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set (3 3/4 inches by 5 inches). Add stamped panel to Sea Glass cardstock card base.
    • Embellish with a sugar cube (included in the Stitched Teacup set) and hearts cut with dies in the Speech Bubbles set and Mini Picture Frames set (the smaller heart).

Lawn Fawn | Snowman Valentine

If Punxsutawney Phil is right, there will be snowmen for a while longer (Northern Hemisphere). Since I enjoyed playing with the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Snowman die for holiday cards (here and here), I figured I would use the same set for a Valentine combining Lawn Fawn products!

Lawn Fawn | Snowman Valentine

  • Cut patterned paper with A2-size die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set.  (The paper is from an old pad in my stash.) Add to card base.
  • Stamp Simply Celebrate Hearts sentiment (a new set from Lawn Fawn) in navy ink on white cardstock. To create the snowbank, cut with the A2-size die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set and then with a die in the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders set. Add to card background.
  • Cut snowman with Build-A-Snowman from flocked white, Light Brown Woodgrain, Black Licorice, orange, and patterned paper. Assemble and add to card background.
  • Use heart dies in the Speech Bubbles set to cut hearts from silver, navy, and red cardstock. (The Build-A-Snowman set includes a smaller heart; for the banner, I preferred this size and shape.) Adhere hearts to red-and-white twine. Position strand of hearts in the hands of the snowman; secure with glue.

Lawn Fawn | Winter Cabin Take Two

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card showcasing the Lawn Fawn Build-a-Cabin die set. This combination of elements works for a variety of occasions including Christmas or friendship. I previously shared a card featuring this die set here. On the card I am sharing today, I changed the orientation, the sentiment, and the color scheme.

  • Create A2-size card base from navy cardstock.
  • Cut Snow Flurries Backdrop from white cardstock. Add strip of white cardstock to the bottom of the navy cardstock for snow. Glue Snow Flurries Backdrop to base. Previously, I have tucked the card elements under the snow frame. Given the number of elements, I decided to have the snow frame take a back seat and added the elements above the frame.
  • Cut Build-a-Cabin pieces from Light Brown Woodgrain, Chocolate Bar, dark brown, brushed silver, yellow, gray, and white cardstock. I used the Build-a-House Christmas Add On to cut a doorknob. Assemble cabin; cover back of windows and door with the yellow cardstock.
  • Stamp Snowball Fight sentiment in black on Noble Fir cardstock and cut with die in the Everyday Sentiment Banners set; add to card.
  • Cut evergreen trees from white and Noble Fir cardstock with dies in the Forest Backdrop set; assemble.
  • Apply Snowfall Grit Paste to cabin roof and trees; set aside to dry.
  • Add assembled Build-a-Cabin and trees, using foam adhesive as necessary for depth.
