Glad We're Friends Card - Lawn Fawnatics #222

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this is a brand-new one! It's called Thank You for Being a Friend, and the projects you create can be thank you or friendship themed (or both!) Sound fun? For my card, I knew I had to feature the new Mice Flowers stamp set. Those mice are just so darn cute! I also brought in All the Grasses.

I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I created a simple watercolor wash background on a Small Stitched Oval Stackable. I used Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide for the sky, and Mowed Lawn for the ground. I layered this on a Stitched Scalloped Oval Stackable that I die cut out of Ballet Slippers Cardstock.

I popped up the focal panel over layers of Blissful Blossoms patterned paper on a Bubblegum card base. Then I stamped part of my sentiment and trimmed out the rest using the Scripty Friends die and Cilantro Cardstock. As always, I finished up the card with some Stardust Stickles.

Fox & Flowers Card - Lawn Fawnatics #221

Hey friends, it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! This time, we're telling the stamps to step aside and focusing all our attention on dies! For my card, I wanted to use the Build-A-Wheelbarrow, and I thought it would be so cute with the Build-A-Fox poking out.

I used so much Lawn Fawn colored cardstock for this one. I'll have all of the colors shown clearly in the video tutorial and also linked in the description bar below the video on YouTube. I nestled my scene inside the Secret Garden Window, which I die cut from patterned paper.

A stamped sentiment is totally okay for this one, as long as the die-cuts are the focus. I built a custom greeting using Henry's Build-A-Sentiment: Birthday, stamped in Bubblegum Ink, and die cut with one of the Everyday Sentiment Banners.

Panda-stic Birthday Card - Lawn Fawnatics #220

Hey friends! It's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this is a fun one! We're creating cards inspired by another design team member! I can't even count the number of times that I have been so inspired by another designer's card that my fingers immediately started itching to create. If that feeling has ever struck you too, then this challenge is for you!

I honestly had such a hard time settling on which card to choose, because there were just so many, but I finally narrowed it down to this incredible one by Grace. I just love the images she used, the beautiful layout, the gorgeous color palette, and of course, the patterned paper! There was just so much to love. I wanted to pay definite homage to her design, but also give it a few twists to make it my own.

I started with the theme. Grace's card was for Valentine's Day, but I wanted to make a birthday card instead. I combined the I Heart Pandas and I Heart Panda's Add-on with Capybaras! I colored the images with Copics and trimmed them out with the matching dies. I loved the scalloped edge of her focal panel, but decided to use the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frames for something slightly different. And since less of my background was going to show, I skipped the stenciled background and just blended on some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink.

Because I brought in the little mandarin orange images from the Capybaras, I knew I had to use some Fruit Salad 6x6 patterned paper. I paired that with Peach Cardstock for the card base and frame, and added a Scripty Birthday sentiment in Ballet Slippers and Guava. I also added an Everyday Sentiment Banner that I white heat embossed on Black Licorice Cardstock. And I finished off with a little Stardust Stickles.

Mother's Day Garden Card - Lawn Fawnatics #219

Hey friends! Today I've got a Mother's Day card to share for our latest Lawn Fawnatics Challenge: Family Matters! This round, we're creating cards to honor moms, dads, or any other loved ones that you call family. I wanted to create a fun Springtime scene, so I pulled together images from Garden Mouse, Spring Basket, and All the Grasses.

I colored the images with Copic markers to match some patterned paper from the Bitsy Blooms 6x6 pack and trimmed them out with the matching dies. I pulled in two prints from that pad and another from Blissful Blossoms and layered those together on a Mist card base.

I die-cut the focal panel from Bristol using the Secret Garden Window and blended on the sky and grass using the Cloudy Stencil and the Slimline Grassy Stencil. I stamped a sentiment from Mom Plus Me, popped the panel up with Foam Tape, and then adhered my images with liquid glue. To finish it off, I added a sprinkle of sequins and some Stardust Stickles.

Butterfly Bookmarks - Lawn Fawnatics #218

Hey friends, it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this time we're taking a step outside the box and creating Anything but a Card or Tag. Any other type of papercraft project you can dream up, you can create! As a big reader, I am always in need of bookmarks, so that's what I decided to make today.

The inspiration for these bookmarks started with the Little Woodland Library Add-onsentiment. I love that line from the Reading Rainbow theme song. I was a huge fan of that show as a kid! So I brought in images from lots of stamp sets, including: I Like Big Butterflies, Gleeful Gardens, Fairy Friends, Little Woodland Library, Purrfectly Wicked, Here for You Bear, and All the Grasses. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

I used the Stitched Bookmark to cut the shape out of some Bristol Cardstock. Then, I added a background to it using the Cloudy Stencil and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. For the bottom I used the Slimline Grassy Stencil and Mowed Lawn. I glued my images flat and made sure nothing was hanging over the edges so it wouldn't get bent up over time. I finished it off with a bit of Aquamarine Single Cord,

Fluttering By to Say Card - Lawn Fawnatics #217

Hey friends! It seems that we have finally turned a corner into warmer weather here in PA, and I could not be more thrilled! It's just in time for our Spring Fling Challenge at Lawn Fawnatics! For my card, I was so excited to ink up and play with the new I Like Big Butterflies. They're sweet and stunning at the same time!

I was also super excited to try out the new Big Blossom Backdrop: Portrait. I die cut it out of Bristol Cardstock and colored it by blending on Distress Oxides. I wanted soft, pastel tones, so I used a very soft hand and let the petals fade into white at the tips. The shades I used were too many to list, but I'll have them all linked below the video in the description bar on YouTube.

I also used the Cloudy Stencil to create the sky, and stamped a sentiment from Henry's Build-A-Sentiment: Butterflies directly on that panel. The phrase continues to finish on the inside of the card, which you can also see in the video. Lastly, I used a Stitched Rectangle Frame to die cut the new Mist Cardstock as a border. I love that shade of aqua blue!

Happy Bee-day Honey Card - Lawn Fawnatics #216

Hey friends! It's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! The company is turning Sweet 16 this month, so our theme is Happy Birthday, Lawn Fawn! For my card, I was itching to use  Cake It Easy for the very first time. So I paired it with images from Den Sweet Den, You're A Keeper, and Hive Five, and added in grasses from the Yappy Birthday Add-on.

For the background, I cut down some Bristol Cardstock with the Lacy Rectangle Stackables and did a simple watercolor wash with Salvaged Patina and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink. At the bottom, I stamped a custom sentiment in black ink.

I popped that up with foam tape over layers of the new Blissful Blossoms 6x6 patterned paper. Then I adhered my images with liquid glue. And of course, I had to finish things off with a little bit of sparkle using Stardust Stickles.

Lucky Pot of Gold Card - Lawn Fawnatics #215

Hey friends! With Spring just around the corner, we are celebrating All Things Rainbow for our newest Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! I went for a pastel color palette on my card, with the sweet moles from A Mole Lot of Love finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! A huge dream of mine when I was a small child!

I brought in additional images from Purrfectly Wicked and Ahoy, Matey, and did a little switcheroo, taking the gold coins from the treasure chest and putting them into the cauldron. You'll have to watch the video tutorial to see how I did that!

I blended my background using the Cloudy Stencil and Slimline Grassy Stencil. Then I die cut the Stitched Rainbow out of Spiffy Speckles patterned paper. I added two Spring Showers clouds and a custom sentiment using Henry's Build-A-Sentiment: Love and Oliver's Stitched ABCs. I added a bit of Stardust Stickles for some sparkle.

Valentine Card Series 2026 #4 - Lawn Fawnatics #214

Hey friends, it's time for one of our most popular Lawn Fawnatics challenges of the year: Inspired by a Book, Movie, or Song! People get so creative with this one! It always blows me away. For my card, I was actually inspired by two picture books in the same series: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Happy Valentine's Day Mouse. 

I needed a mouse in overalls, so I pulled in one from Berry Special and added images from Milk and Cookies, along with a trio of hearts from the Scent with Love Add-on. I colored them with Copic markers to match the patterned paper that I wanted to use, and trimmed them out with the matching dies. 

I adore patterned paper, and I wanted to pull in a lot of different prints for this card. I used one from Candy Cane Lane and two from Rainbow Ever After for the cardbase. Then I used a fourth print from Spiffy Speckles, which I trimmed out with the Doily Hearts for my focal panel.

This is also Day 4 of my 2026 Valentine Card Series, so if you'd like to see how it came together, click the video thumbnail below, or you can find it HERE on my YouTube channel.
