Lost without You Card - Lawn Fawnatics #193
Hey friends, it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this one is Inspired by a Book, Movie, or Song. I'm not going to lie, I absolutely wanted to use the new It's a Bird! stamp set from Lawn Fawn, so I started brainstorming ideas about what those cute little mice could be searching for. A nursery song from preschool came to mind, "Going on a Bear Hunt." I used to love to do all the motions! So I pulled together additional images from Heart Tree and Snow Much Fun to bring the scene to life.
I colored all of the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then, I created a background by blending Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink over the Cloudy Stencil onto a panel of Bristol that I cut down with the Small Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables. I also trimmed down an extra panel with the grassy hill of the Mushroom Border and blended on Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink.
For my sentiments, I stamped one from Car Critters down at the bottom of the grass panel and adhered that to the sky background. I also used All the Speech Bubbles along with the Simply Celebrate Critters Add-on to add some additional phrases. I glued the background to a Chocolate Bar card base and added my images with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue.
I really hope you like this one! If you'd like to see how it came together, click the video thumbnail below, or you can find the tutorial HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. Don't forget to also stop by the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog to see the rest of the design team's Inspired by a Book, Movie, or Song projects and to link up your own and play along! Have a great day!

Yappy Birthday Banner Card - Lawn Fawnatics #174
Hey friends, welcome back to another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! This time we are featuring stencils. I was super excited to ink up the new Bunting Background Stencils so I based my entire card idea around that. I decided to go with a doggy-theme, since my last card was a cat theme. Gotta show equal love, you know? I stamped out images from Yappy Birthday and the Yappy Birthday Add-on, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.
For the challenge, I decided to use not just one, not just two, but three stencils! I started with the Cloudy Stencil and some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink for the sky. Next I brought in the Slimline Grassy Stencil and Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn for the ground. Then it was time for the two part Bunting Background Stencils. I brought in a rainbow of colors for the pennants, including Candied Apple, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch, and Wilted Violet and I used Antique Linen for the strings.
I trimmed that panel down with the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables and glued it to a thin mat of Black Licorice Cardstock. Then cut down one of the prints from the Pint Sized Patterns Summertime 6x6 to fit the front of my A2 standard sized card and added the focal panel over top. I stamped part of my sentiment and cut out the rest using Finley's ABCs and finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.
I really hope you enjoy the video tutorial, taking you step by step through the creation of this card! You can find it HERE on my YouTube channel. If you do like it, please be sure to hit the thumb's up button or leave me a comment or both! And don't forget to stop by the Lawn Fawnatics blog to see what the rest of the design team created to inspire you with stencils! We hope you'll play along!

2016 Holiday Card Series #21 and Lawnscaping Challenge #144
Hi friends! Today's post is bittersweet. Not only is it the final card in my 2016 Holiday Card Series, it's also our very last Lawnscaping Challenge. I've been on the Lawnscaping design team since day one, and it has been such a wonderful experience, working with amazingly talented ladies, and making so many wonderful friends. I'm so sad to see it end.
Challenge #144 is all about Christmas. I wanted to do something extra special, so I created my first ever pop-up box card. I love how it has so much dimension, yet still folds flat to fit inside an A2 size envelope without even any extra postage! I used the Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp Stamptember collaboration set, Happy Howlidays. But if you missed out on that set, not to worry. In the video I give you suggestions for how to recreate a very similar card using other images. Click on the video link to watch it there in HD and please don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe.
Please head over to the Lawnscaping Challenge blog and check out the other amazing design team projects and don't forget to link up your own to play along. It's your last chance to win a FREE stamp set of your choice from Lawn Fawn. I hope you'll join us. Have a great day!

Magical Holiday - 2016 Holiday Card Series #3 - Lawnscaping Challenge #141
Hello friends! Welcome to the third installment in my 2016 Holiday Card Series, which was created for Lawnscaping Challenge 141: Clean and Simple. Now, clean and simple is definitely not how I would usually describe my cards, but it's always good to challenge yourself from time to time and mix it up!
For today's card I used Lawn Fawn's Winter Unicorn and colored her in with Copic markers. To set the background scene I stamped out the snowflakes from Making Frosty Friends in Lawn Fawn Mermaid ink, and added a sentiment from Merry Messages with Juice Box ink.
All copic colors and supplies are clearly shown in the video. I hope you enjoy it! Click on the YouTube icon at the bottom right corner to watch it there in HD and please don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Fall Fest - Lawnscaping Challenge #139
Hey friends! Happy Monday, and welcome to Lawnscaping Challenge #139: Pinterest Inspired! We've put together a gorgeous mood board full of fun fall fabulousness to get you inspired to create! The minute I saw it, I knew I had to pull out my Lawn Fawn Jump For Joy stamp set yet again. I just can't get enough of it lately! It's perfect for this colorful time of year. Especially when combined with Copic markers!
I also used images from Happy Harvest and Holiday Party Animal to fill out my scene. I filmed the creation process of the first card, but after the camera stopped rolling, I just couldn't stop! So I made a bonus card with just a few subtle differences. Two cards to send out is always better than one, am I right?

Dreams Come True - Lawnscaping Challenge #138
Hello friends! We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz! Lol. Today I am super excited to bring you a card that I've had in my mind for a really long time! I don't know what took me so long to make it. Maybe I was afraid I wouldn't be able to pull it off. But Lawnscaping Challenge #138: Geometric finally pushed me to do it. It was the perfect time to pull out Lawn Fawn's Interlocking Backdrops to create my yellow brick road.
Happy Harvest allowed me to recreate my favorite scene from my favorite movie, when Dorothy comes upon the Scarecrow in the cornfield in The Wizard of Oz. I totally watched a clip of "If I Only Had A Brain" on YouTube to help me get inspired! Stitched Hillside Borders and the Picket Fence die helped finish things off.
I hope you enjoy the video! Click the YouTube icon at the bottom right corner to watch it there in HD, and please don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. Also be sure to come back Friday for my 10K Subscriber Video Hop! It's going to be so much fun!
