Fintastic Birthday Card - Lawn Fawnatics #199

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, and this time we're embracing Summertime Fun! For my card, I pulled together some of my favorite under the sea sets, including Mermaid For You, Ocean Shell-fie, You Are Sublime, and Fintastic Friends. I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I blended Distress Oxides onto a panel of Bristol, using Speckled Egg, Evergreen Bough, and Pine Needles for the water and Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs for the sand, trimmed down with a Simple Stitched Hillside Border.

I stamped some greenery and tiny fish in the background with the Distress Oxides, and then added a sentiment in the top right corner in black ink. I adhered the background to a Lilac card base and then added my images to create the scene. I finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

Birthday Roar Card

Hey friends, today I've got a fun, masculine birthday card to share using the adorable Mama Elephant The Wild Roar along with the beautiful banana tree from Everyday Monkeys. I just love jungle-themed sets, and this one is so darling! I colored everything with Copic markers and trimmed the images out with their matching dies.

For the background, I blended Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Pine Needles Distress Oxide Ink onto a panel of Bristol that I trimmed down with the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I stamped an Essential Tag Sayings sentiment in the top right corner and glued that to a Noble Fir card base, then adhered my images.

Let's Shellebrate Card

Hey friends, today I have a beautiful underwater scene to share using the adorable Stamping Bella Tiny Townie Mermaid Isla. I adore this sweet mermaid, and she was so much fun to color! I combined her with images from Under the Sea Creatures, masking off to create a one-layer scene, then colored it in, background and all, with Copic markers.

When it was done, I trimmed down the focal panel with the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables to give it that nice finished edge and glued that to a Hyacinth card base. I added a greeting from the Mermazing Sentiment Set on an Everyday Sentiment Banner and finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

Sky's the Limit Card - Lawn Fawnatics #198

Hey friends, it's the first Monday of a brand-new month, and that means it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! This is a fun one: it's Up, Up, and Away. For my card, I combined the hot air balloons from Flying High with the cute little birds from Heart Tree and It's a Bird! Since I'm still recovering from a neck injury, I kept the color palette really limited and shared several tips throughout the video for creating simplified cards that don't look too plain. I hope that you find them helpful!

After coloring the images with Copics and trimming them out with the matching dies, I created a focal panel by trimming down some Spiffy Speckles 6x6 paper with the Large Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables. I added some Spring Showers clouds and stamped part of my sentiment. The rest of the word was die cut out of Lobster Cardstock using Finley's ABCs.

I popped the focal panel up with foam tape over some more patterned paper from Pint-sized Patterns: Summertime and What's Sewing On layered onto a Moonstone card base. I added my images and finished the card off with some tiny iridescent stars and a bit of Stardust Stickles.

I really hope you enjoy this one! You can watch the video tutorial by clicking the thumbnail below, or find it HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. Thanks so much for checking it out!

Hello Sunshine Card

Hey friends, today I have a sweet and summery card to share using a darling image. This cutie is the Tiny Townie Ally Loves Ice Cream by Stamping Bella. Isn't she precious? I had so much fun coloring her and creating a background with my Copic markers. Then I trimmed her down with the second largest of the Lawn Fawn Large Mini Slimline Stackables.

I popped her up with foam tape over a some patterned paper from the Carta Bella That's My Girl 6x6 pad and added a sentiment from the Stamping Bella Beach Vibes Sentiment Set trimmed down with a Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banner. Then I finished up with a little Stardust Stickles.
