Hey friends, happy new year and welcome to our first Lawn Fawnatics Challenge of 2026: Let's Celebrate! We are starting by building up our stash of celebration cards, commemorating special occasions for the loved ones in our lives. As always, after several months of focusing solely on holiday card making, my stash of birthday cards is completely gone, so that was the first thing on my mind to build back up again.
I wanted this card to be kind of gender neutral, universal for anyone's birthday that might pop up quickly, so I went with a dog theme. I pulled together the pups and speech bubbles from Simply Celebrate Critters and sat them at a table from Simply Celebrate Hangouts. Then I threw in a few accessory images from Yappy Birthday and the Yappy Birthday Add-on.
I created a Cloudy Stencil background using Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink for the sky, and Bundled Sage with the Slimline Grassy Stencil for the ground. I adhered this to a Moonstone card base and added my images with foam tape and liquid glue. I finished it off with some Stardust Stickles.
