Hey friends, today I'm bringing you another critter coloring video. I'll be showing you six different ways to color bunnies, just in time for your Spring and Easter card making. I used one of the images from the Lawn Fawn Some Bunny stamp set, stamped on Spectrum Noir Smooth White Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink. If you'd like to see the entire playlist of critters from the past, you can find that HERE.

Hey friends, it's time for one of my favorite Lawn Fawnatics Challenges of the whole year! It's All Things Birthday! I love making birthday cards so this one is right up my alley. Since this week contains both my youngest son's birthday and my dog's birthday, I had to go with a dog themed card. I pulled out Yappy Birthday and the Yappy Birthday Add-on, colored the images with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.
I decided to lean into the patterned paper for this one, because it always reminds me of wrapping paper on gifts! I pulled out two patterns from the Pint-sized Patterns Summertime 6x6. I trimmed the blue design down with the largest Small Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables and the rainbow stripe with my paper trimmer to fit my Cilantro card base.
I stamped my sentiment directly on the focal panel and popped it up with foam tape over the striped print. Then I adhered my images with liquid glue, added the confetti bits to fill in all the empty spaces, and finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

Hey friends, today I'm bringing you another critter coloring video! I'm going to be showing you six different ways to color frogs. I wanted to color something bright and fun and I thought frogs would be the perfect thing. I stamped out an image from Lawn Fawn's Toadally Awesome on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth White Cardstock in Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink and colored them with my Copic markers. To see the combos in action, click the video thumbnail below, or find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I hope you enjoy it!

I'll have all the other supplies I used in my post over there, so I hope you'll check it out. I created this card for a dear friend who just underwent emergency brain surgery. It was a scary time, but she's back home recovering now and doing amazingly well! And wouldn't you know it? The thing that she was craving most when she woke up in the hospital was a smoothie! She said the card was perfect. I'm so please that she liked it, and I hope that you will too!

Hey friends, today I've got another Spring card to share, featuring the Sweet November April Daisy Fairy. I just love her so much! Sweet November actually has twelve of these fairies, one for every month of the year. But this one just really called to me. I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added in some scene building elements from Horizon Lines - Wildflower Meadow.
I trimmed down the panel with the Lawn Fawn Lacy Rectangle Stackables and then masked off the edges just past the stitching detail to keep them nice and white. Then I colored the entire scene with my Copic markers. I stamped a sentiment down at the bottom, and then popped the panel up with foam tape over some patterned paper.
If you'd like to see how this card came together, including a full walk-through of the Copic coloring, click the video thumbnail below, or you can find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it! Have an absolutely amazing day!
Hey friends, it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and I am so ready for this one -- it's Spring Fling! It may still be a snowy landscape outside my windows, but it is definitely already Spring in my heart. I am so ready for sunshine and flowers and color! For this card I pulled together images from Veggie Happy, Garden Before 'n Afters, and Butterfly Kisses. I stamped them in Crunchy Leaf Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.
I added my images to the watercolored panel with a mix of liquid glue and foam tape. Then I stamped a sentiment in more Crunchy Leaf Ink and trimmed it down with an Everyday Sentiment Banner. I really love the soft, storybook style this card has! I really hope that you enjoy it too.

Hey friends, today I'm bringing you a video that I have been wanting to make for such a long time! I'm going to be re-creating my very first video on YouTube! Altering Mini Composition Notebooks is where Christy Gets Crafty began, and I've been wanting to pay homage to that for years. When I saw that our next Lawn Fawnatics Challenge was Anything but a Card or Tag, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to finally bring that video up to date!
For this project, you'll need to start with some mini composition notebooks. Lots of stores sell them, but I picked up this three pack at Dollar Tree for $1.25. Since filming, I was able to score five more three packs at Dollar General for $1 each! You'll also need some patterned paper, and this gorgeous collection is from the Lawn Fawn What's Sewing On? 6x6 pad. I love the dainty florals in these beautiful pastel shades.
You're also going to need some kind of strong adhesive to attach the papers to the covers and spine. I love using 1/4" Double-sided Tape. There's no mess and it's super strong. I added a ribbon closure for each of these notebooks, to keep the recipients writings a bit more private, and decorated the fronts to give them a little more personality.
I stamped some images and a tiny sentiment from Garden Before 'n Afters and Butterfly Kisses in Crunchy Leaf Ink on the Little Letter die cuts and colored them with Copic markers. If you'd like to see how these came together, click the video thumbnail below, or you can find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it! These make such great gifts or craft fair projects! Don't forget to visit the Lawn Fawnatics blog to see what the rest of the team has created and link up your own projects to play along!

Hey friends, today I'm taking a little break from Valentine's cards to create a boyish birthday card, which I'm sadly lacking in my stash. For this card, I brought together several sets by Sunny Studio Stamps, including Savanna Safari, Fabulous Flamingos, Party Pups, and Tropical Scenes. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.
Then I created a simple watercolor background, by painting Distress Oxide Inks onto Bristol Cardstock. I did a blend of Cracked Pistachio and Forest Moss. Then I chose two patterned papers to layer and used the Sunny Studio Stitched Arch to cut a window in the center. I popped this up on foam tape and added my images, finishing with a few clear sequins.

Hey friends, today I'm so honored to be taking part in a hop over on Instagram for the Pretty Pink Posh Valentine Release. Over the next four days, we'll be showcasing all of the new products with loads of inspiration from design team members and guest designers like myself. Make sure you're leaving comments each day as well, as there will be a daily giveaway of a $30 gift card to a random commenter. Winners will be announced on the Pretty Pink Posh account. You'll find the list of today's participants in my Instagram post.
For my card, I'm highlighting the Love Word Shaker and creating a fun, interactive card. I die cut it a whole bunch of times out of red cardstock to build up a well inside, which I filled with Love Shaker Beads. Before I added the top layer of red cardstock, I slipped in a sheet of acetate to create the shaker mechanism. It's easier to show than explain, so definitely check out the video tutorial below!
For the background, I took a sheet of Bristol and trimmed off the top and bottom with the Doily Borders, then stenciled only the heart layer from the Heart and Sprinkles Stencils with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink. I added that to a pink card base and arranged my shaker mechanism over top, then decorated with flowers and leaves from the Valentine Holder Additions. As a final detail, I added a trio of clay heart embellishments from the Strawberry Valentine Mix.
This card is also Day 4 of my 2025 Valentine Card Series, so please check out the video tutorial by clicking the thumbnail below, or you can also find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hey friends, today I'm so happy to be participating in the Lawn Fawn Lots of Heart Week!

And there will be a daily giveaway to a random commenter as well, so make sure you get yourself entered to win by leaving those comments and showing the designers some love!
For my card, I wanted to focus on the dies and include only minimal stamping. I adore the new Little Letter dies, and decided to make that the star of the show, by cutting out three of them in Ballet Slippers, Guava, and Barn Red Cardstock with the little heart seals to match. I closed up the bottom one, but for the other two, I added the letter insert, which I stamped using the Valentine Mice, which was the FREE with $60 set from the latest release. I colored them with Copic markers.
This card is also Day 3 of my 2025 Valentine Card Series, so if you'd like to see how it came together, click the video thumbnail below. Or you can also find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

For my card, I featured the new Valentine Ghost Friends along with the Valentine Icons. I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I took a piece of Bristol and cut the top and bottom edge with the Doily Borders. I did a simple watercolor wash and stamped a sentiment from Valentine Greetings at the bottom. The rest of the sentiment I white heat embossed onto red cardstock and trimmed into a strip.
Then I took the XOXO Pierced Plate and ran that through my die cutting machine with some pink cardstock. I also stamped a small red heart from Valentine Greetings into each of the Os. I layered my focal panel up with foam tape and adhered the images and sentiment strip with liquid glue. Then I finished off with a sprinkle of hearts from the Strawberry Valentine Mix.
