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 LilacVillainous 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.

To Paris, with Love Card - Lawn Fawnatics #182


Hey friends, I'm back from my incredible vacation just in time for the perfect Lawn Fawnatics Challenge: Sightseeing! We're creating projects inspired by a place we want to visit. When I filmed the making of this card, I was just days away from hopping on a plane for a trip to one of my dream destinations: Paris! Now that I'm back home drafting this post, I can absolutely say that it was one of the most stunning and lovely cities I've ever had the privilege to experience.


To recreate this special vacation I took with my hubby, I combined so many Lawn Fawn stamp sets, including Bicycle Built for YouApple-solutely AwesomeTreat Cart Add-on: CoffeeLittle Woodland LibraryFly HighJust Add GlitterTea-rrific DayWild Wolves, and the Scent with Love Add-on. I colored all of the images with Copic markers in shades of red, white, and blue to match the French flag. I even hand-drew (not very well) a tiny Eiffel Tower!


For the background, I trimmed down some Bristol with the Small Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables and blended on some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink and the Cloudy Stencil for the sky, and Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn with the Slimline Grassy Stencil for the ground. On the Blue Jay card base, I added a strip of white patterned paper with a subtle gray star pattern from the Let It Shine: Starry Skies 6x6 with another strip of Barn Red Cardstock over the center. Then I popped the focal panel up with foam tape and adhered my images.


If you'd like to see how this card came together, click the thumbnail below or you can find the tutorial HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope that you enjoy it! And don't forget to pop over to the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog to check out the rest of the design team's sightseeing inspiration! And link up your own projects to play along. We can't wait to see what places you'd love to visit!

Sending Squeezes Card


Hey friends, today I've got a cutie of a card to share using the sweet Sending Squeezes stamp set by Jenoblade for MFT. This pile of critters just makes me want to grab the nearest person and give them a big, squishy hug! I stamped the image with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink on Spectrum Noir Premium White Cardstock, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching die.


For the focal panel, I trimmed out some patterned paper from the Simple Stories Acorn Lane pad with the MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX and added a bit of ink splatter, then layered up even more patterned paper onto the card base. I popped the focal panel up with foam tape and white heat embossed a sentiment onto a Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banner.


If you'd like to see how this card came together, click the video thumbnail below, or you can also find the tutorial HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it. Sending you all big, crafty hugs! Have a wonderful day!
