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.)

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 sets3, 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.

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.
