Hello! I’m sharing an entry for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown! This simple, yet colorful, card brings holiday cheer with a playful die-cut deer and JOY sentiment.

The sketch inspired me to keep the layout clean, letting the patterned paper and focal point really stand out.

Pineapples and Aloha Vibes

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a summer-themed card that captures the essence of tropical paradise. Featuring two pineapples adorned with hibiscus flowers, this card radiates happiness with its vibrant colors. The cheerful sentiment “aloha” adds the perfect touch.

Pineapples and Aloha Vibes

    • Cover A2-size card base with patterned paper. You can read more about background options in this post.
    • Cut the Polaroid frame from white cardstock with the Say Cheese, Again die. I used this die on a nautical-themed card HERE.
    • Stamp the Lawn Fawn Aloha sentiment on to the frame with black ink. The stamp set is available at Frantic Stamper.
    • Add patterned paper to the back of the frame and add frame to card front.
    • Color white cardstock with a variety of Distress inks. Cut the cardstock with the Playful Pineapple die set to create the pineapples and flowers. I used the inlay technique. The Playful Pineapple set creates a pineapple with eyes and mouth; the set also includes dies so that those elements can be eliminated.
    • Add pineapples and flowers to the card with dot and foam adhesive.

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.)

    • 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.
