Lawn Fawn | Summertime Adventure Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a summer-themed card that showcases the Lawn Fawn Woodland Critter Huggers die set. Featuring a charming fox holding a refreshing glass of lemonade, paired with the sentiment “Adventure Awaits,” this card spreads cheer and anticipation for summer escapades. The Woodland Critter Huggers set was released in 2018. I recently purchased it because I have always thought it was cute, and Lawn Fawn released the Summer Add-On last year. (There is also a Winter Add-On, released in 2018, that is on my list to buy.)

- Cut patterned paper with the A2-size die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set and add to card base.
- Cut fox with the Woodland Critter Huggers set and summer accessories with dies in the Summer Add-On set; assemble as required.
- Stamp Car Critters Road Trip Add-On sentiment and cut with a banner die.
- Add assembled fox and sentiment banner to card base.

Lawn Fawn | Refreshing Summer Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a summer-themed card created with a combination of Lawn Fawn products. More than half a year ago, I wrote about the hot beverage theme–coffee, tea, and cocoa (hot chocolate)–on handmade cards. In that post, I noted that I had never created a card featuring a cold beverage. I couldn’t resist the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink die set.

I approached the design of this card differently than I usually do. I first constructed the Build-A-Drink lemonade before deciding on the background and sentiment. However, I did have the patterned paper (from my stash) as a starting point for the colors I chose.

Queen & Co. Giraffe Shaker Card

Today, I’m sharing a shaker card that brings a touch of safari fun to your handmade greetings. This card features a whimsical die-cut giraffe filled with shaker elements, perfectly complemented by patterned paper that ties the whole theme together. Using products from the Queen & Company Go Safari kit. I’ve created a card that’s eye-catching and also incredibly fun to make. The cheerful sentiment “What’s Up?” adds the perfect finishing touch, making this card ideal for brightening someone’s day. I also used Foundation die sets – 3, 14, 19 – to create the paper layers and to cut my sentiment.

I cannot say enough about the patterned paper included in the kit! It coordinates wonderfully, making it easy to create the various paper layers. I embellished the card with epoxy from the Epoxy Dots Matte Bundle and stars cut from white cardstock with a die in the Foundation 14 set.

Lawn Fawn | Berry Sweet Card

Hello! Today, I’m excited to share a berry-themed card that I’ve crafted using a variety of Lawn Fawn supplies. Over the years, I’ve collected an array of Lawn Fawn products, and it’s always a joy to see how seamlessly they work together to bring a scene to life.

- Cover an A2-size card base with paper in the Doodlebug Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints pad.
- Cut Waterfall cardstock with the 5″ x 3 3/4″ die in the Small Stitched Rectangles set and cut with the Stitched Cloud Backdrop die. I frequently reach for this set to create card backgrounds. I discuss using cover plate dies for card backgrounds HERE.
- To create the green hill, cut SU Call Me Clover cardstock (2018-2020 In Color) with a die in the Simple Stitched Hillside Border set and the 5″ x 3 3/4″ die in the Small Stitched Rectangles set. Add to sky and add assembly to card base.
- Stamp the Berry Special images with Versafine on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and heat set. Color the image with watercoloring mediums of choice (I used Zig and Tombow markers). Check out my “Resources for Watercoloring Stamped Images” HERE. Once dry, cut images with coordinating dies.

Strawberries (Zig 22, 412, 413); Mouse Overalls (Tombow 528); Mice (Zig 72, Tombow 772); Sign (Tombow 992, Zig 68); Bee and flower center (Zig 52); Connoisseur White Taklon Short Round Brushes sizes 2 and 4

- Stamp sentiment and cut with banner die.
- Cut white clouds with dies in the Spring Showers set.
- Add items to card with dot and foam adhesive.

Die-cut Nautical “AHOY” Card

Hello! At the beginning of the month, I shared a round-up of summer-themed cards. Inspired by the post, I created a nautical-themed card that features a charming Impression Obsession sailboat. The cheerful “AHOY” is a perfect choice for sending warm wishes to any sea lover in your life and works for a multitude of occasions.

- I used Echo Park patterned paper in my stash for the card base background. I discuss how patterned paper is a quick and convenient way to add character to card backgrounds HERE.
- While designing the card, I thought back on the impact of a frame, which I discuss HERE. I chose the Lawn Fawn Say Cheese, Again die set to cut the Polaroid-style frame.
- To create the background behind the frame, I used the now-retired, Taylored Expressions “On the Spot” embossing folder. I wrote about the use of embossing folders in cardmaking HERE.
- I cut the sailboat, waves, and cloud from a variety of color cardstocks, and assembled as required. I used the Art Impressions Journal Letter die set to cut the letters that I glue to the frame.
