Winter - Right as Rain

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.

Lawn Fawn | Winter Cabin

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card, created with Lawn Fawn supplies, that was inspired by the graphics on a coffee bag. I would not have thought to create a red sky. This card could serve for a number of occasions including Christmas, birthday, or “just because.”

Create A2-size card base from red cardstock.
Cut Build-a-Cabin pieces from dark red, gray, Light Brown Woodgrain, Black Licorice, yellow, and white cardstock. Cover back of windows and door with yellow cardstock.
Cut Stitched Mountain Border from white and light teal-blue cardstock. Add snow to mountain tops.
Stamp Snowball Fight sentiment in black on white cardstock and cut with the Forest Border die.
Trim assembled Stitched Mountain Border and Forest Border; add to card base.
Add assembled Build-a-Cabin to scene with foam adhesive. Embellish with snowflakes cut with Mini Snowflakes dies.

Lawn Fawn | Welcome Winter

Hello and happy winter (for those in the Northern Hemisphere)! We have snow on the ground and cold temps here in the Pacific Northwest. I am sharing a winter-themed card featuring a combination of Lawn Fawn products – dies, stencil, and stamp set.

Apply stencil paste through the Snowy Sky stencil on light-blue cardstock, sprinkle on Rock Candy Glitter, and set aside to dry. Once dry, add to card base.
Cut Snow Flurries Backdrop from white cardstock. I previously shared a card using the Snow Flurries Backdrop here.
Cut Foxy Family from Black Licorice, white, pink, and red-brown cardstock; assemble. I shared another card with the Foxy Family here.
Cut trees from Noble Fir and white cardstock. Darken one small tree with Rustic Wilderness ink. Add white backs to green fronts.
Stamp Snowball Fight sentiment on Noble Fir cardstock and cut with die in the Everyday Sentiment Banner set.
Cut hillside from white flocked cardstock with die in the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders set; trim as necessary.
Attach hillside to stenciled background, adhere Snow Flurries Backdrop.
Add foxes and tuck two of the trees behind the foxes. Attach smaller tree with foam adhesive.
Attach sentiment.

Christmas Trend – Snowmen

Hello! Today I am sharing a wrap-up of cards created in the past several months featuring snowmen (snow people) die sets, which were introduced this past fall. I used snowmen more than any other holiday motif (focal item) this year.

Did you identify any strong Christmas cardmaking themes or trends? The farmhouse Christmas trend – Buffalo check and the red pickup truck – is still holding on, along with gnomes and poinsettias; however, I did not see anything new arrive on the scene this year. I spoke to the seasonal buyer at our grocery store about Christmas trends, (they carry an amazing number of seasonal items, as it is an independent store), and we speculated that the pandemic, and its uncertainty for retail, impacted the creation of a new trend (which would have had to have been created a year ago for this season).
