Hey friends, today I've got another Copic coloring video for you. I'm sharing six ways to color bees, using the Hello Bluebird Bee Happy stamp set. The images were stamped on Spectrum Noir Premium White Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink. Hopefully this will give you some new ideas of different combos you can use for your Spring and Summer projects. I hope you enjoy the video!

Bookshop Pull 'n Slide Surprise Card - Lawn Fawnatics #196
Hey friends, today it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this is a really fun one! It's our Inspired By Challenge, where we take a card or project by another Lawn Fawn or Lawn Fawnatics design team member and use that to inspire our own project in tribute. There are so many incredible designers to choose from, but I decided to go with Megan Burnette, who inspires me all the time with her fun, full scenes and gorgeous color palettes.
This is the card of Megan's that I chose as my inspiration. I just loved the bookshop theme, and I actually gave my version of this card to the staff at my local, independent bookstore for National Independent Bookstore Day last weekend. That bookstore is my happy place, and it's all thanks to the incredible staff who have made it such a welcoming space to be.
I combined so many different sets on this card, including Little Woodland Library, Little Woodland Library Friends, Simply Celebrate Hangouts, Apple-solutely Awesome, Den Sweet Den, Purrfectly Wicked, Virtual Friends Add-on, and the Porcupine for You Add-on. All of the images were stamped in Jet Black Ink and colored with Copic markers.
I did want to give my card a twist to make it a bit different than Megan's, so I turned it interactive by using the new Pull 'n Slide Surprise. I love the dimension that it creates on a card when you pull the tab, and the staff at the bookstore thought it was a super cool feature!

Purrfect Birthday Card Duo
Hey friends, today I've got TWO new projects to share, it's a cute kitty card duo! I have so many birthdays in my family in May, so I am desperately in need of more birthday cards. So I decided to do more multiples. Both of these cards feature the adorable images from the Honey Bee Meow & Furever stamp set, which I stamped on Catherine Pooler Favorite White Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink.
Because I don't own the matching dies to this set, I trimmed down the panels with the Lawn Fawn Lacy Rectangle Stackables, then colored them with my Copic markers to match the layers of Carta Bella Secret Garden 6x6 patterned paper. I finished up with a trio of clear sequins and some Stardust Stickles.
If you'd like to see how these cards came together, click the video thumbnail below, or you can find the tutorial HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. I'm so grateful for your support! Have a wonderful day!

One for the Books Card - Lawn Fawnatics #195
Hey friends, today we've got a super fun challenge for you at Lawn Fawnatics: Bingo Board! Pick any column, down, across, or diagonal, and use the prompts to inspire you. For my card today, I chose N down, rainbow, critter, patterned paper, bright, and foam squares. The new Little Woodland Library Friends is the star of the show here, with supporting characters from Little Woodland Library, Backyard Bird Feeder Add-on, and Apple-solutely Awesome.
I stamped the images in Jet Black Ink onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock and trimmed them out with the coordinating dies. Then I also trimmed out a focal panel of Bristol Cardstock with the Large Stitched Circle Stackables and did a simple watercolor background using Broken China and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink.
I layered some Bitsy Blooms 6x6 patterned paper onto a Mermaid card base, then trimmed down a piece of Pint-sized Patterns: Summertime with the Scalloped Circle Stackables and using that to mat my focal panel. I popped that up with foam tape for a bit of dimension. I added an Everyday Sentiment Banner and a little Stardust Stickles to finish things off.
