Holiday Card Series #3 - Lawn Fawnatics #184

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this time we've got a pretty Holiday Inspiration photo and color palette to inspire you. For my card, I really wanted to ink up the adorable, new Cheesy Christmas. These mice are just so cute! I combined a bunch of stamp sets to pair with them, including Holiday Helpers, A Creature Was Stirring, Christmas Dreams, and Fly High. I colored all of the images with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I cut down some Candy Cane Lane 6x6 patterned paper and Light Brown Woodgrain Cardstock with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables to be my wallpaper and floor, then added a thin strip of white cardstock for my baseboard. I glued that to a Kraft card base and adhered my images over top. Then I stamped a sentiment onto a Simple Wavy Banner and added that to the top right and trimmed off the excess. And of course, I finished things off with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

This card is Day 3 of my 2024 Holiday Card Series, so I hope you'll check out the video tutorial, either by clicking the thumbnail below or finding it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it! I had so much fun creating this one.

Fangtastic Friend Card - Lawn Fawnatics #183

Hey friends, it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this time we're going Monochromatic! A monochromatic card is one that only uses one color tone, and since I've done a few of these in the past now, I wanted to go with a color I haven't tried before and ended up deciding on PURPLE! I think purple goes so well with Halloween cards, so I pulled out my Lawn Fawn Fangtastic Friends stamp set.

I love these cute little bats, and I haven't had a chance to use them in a while, so I thought that this challenge would be the perfect opportunity! I colored them with Copic markers, using the purples mixed with a little bit of gray to give it that extra spooky feel. Then I trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I used the Nighttime Sky Stencils to mask off the moon on a piece of Bristol Cardstock, then blended on Distress Oxide Inks in Shaded Lilac, Villainous Potion, and  Black Soot. I stamped a sentiment from Spooktacular in the moon, then adhered the panel to a Black Licorice card base, and popped my images up with foam tape.

Six Ways to Color Bats

Hey friends, today I'm bringing you another critter coloring video, and since it's October, I thought it would be the perfect time to do bats! I'm showing you six was to color bats using an image from the Lawn Fawn Fangtastic Friends stamp set, but of course you can use these combos for any bat images you might have. I've stamped the images in Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth White Cardstock and colored them with Copic markers, but again, you can modify these combos to any markers you use by just choosing similar shades. I really hope you enjoy it! Click the thumbnail below to watch or you can find the video tutorial HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. Thanks so much for watching!
