Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #87 - Card Sketch Part 2

 Hi All!


Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #87 is called Card Sketch.


For this challenge I couldn't decide between two stamp sets so I created two cards. One is a cute fall card using the Let's Go Nuts stamp set (which is posted in the part 1 post) and the second is a cute winter card using the Snow Bunnies stamp set.

I love the 2019 STAMPtember Snow Bunnies for Lawn Fawn stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. This is the first stamp I ever bought from the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember event. All the elements of this stamp set are super adorable, so much so that most of my Christmas cards last year had cute bunnies on them. I again wanted to create a circle scene in the center of the card but for this card I also added the metal topper and the string so that the circle scene became an ornament to hang in the middle of the card. I thought that the vellum circle around the circle scene helps to give the illusion of a glass ornament with the scene inside.


Supplies: White Cardstock, Blue Cardstock, Kraft Cardstock, Silver Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Snow Bunnies for Lawn Fawn), Lawn Fawn Paper - Let It Shine (red & white stripes) - White Sparkle Paper, Lawn Fawn Die (Forest Border), Lawn Fawn Ink (Yeti), Lawn Fawn Stencil (Snowflake Trio), Circle Die (2), Vellum Paper, Memento Black Ink, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Black Pen

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #87 - Card Sketch

 Hi All!


Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #87 is called Card Sketch.


For this challenge I couldn't decide between two stamp sets so I created two cards. One is a cute fall card using the Let's Go Nuts stamp set and the second is a cute winter card using the Snow Bunnies stamp set, (which is posted in the part 2 post).

I love the new Let's Go Nuts stamp set from Lawn Fawn. The little squirrels are soooo adorable. I created this little scene in the centre of the card using a squirrel pulling a little wagon, pile of nuts and baby squirrel. I love the look of colour on colour backgrounds but I didn't have the same colour of brown to look good on kraft cardstock so I used white ink to stamp 3 other squirrels, the little nut and the little rake from the stamp set to create the background. I also used the little leaves pattern paper from the Into The Woods Remix to round out the design of the card. 


Supplies: White Cardstock, Green Cardstock, Blue Cardstock, Kraft Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Let's Go Nuts), Lawn Fawn Paper - Into The Woods Remix (leaves), Lawn Fawn Die (Forest Border), Lawn Fawn Ink (Yeti), Circle Die Memento Black Ink, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #85 - Awesome Autumn

 Hi All!


Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #85 is called Awesome Autumn.


For this challenge I wanted to create a scene with a the new Let's Go Nuts stamp set. I love the little squirrels so I created a scene with the leaf pile, the napping squirrel and the squirrel throwing his arms up. The squirrel napping and the squirrel throwing leaves onto of the leaf pile really show two ways to enjoy the fall/autumn season. I popped all the leaves in the air and the leaf pile up while leaving the squirrels flat.


Supplies: White Cardstock, Green Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Let's Go Nuts), Lawn Fawn Paper - Into The Woods Remix (leaves) & Orange Plaid Paper, Lawn Fawn Die (Stitched Hillside Borders), YNS Enamel Dots (Sunset Sparkle), Memento Black Ink, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #84 - Back To School

 Hi All!


Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #84 is called Back To School.


For this challenge I wanted to create a thank you card that could be sent out to a teacher to thank them for all the hard work they have put in not just when the world was normal but now in pandemic times. I know that life has turned upside down for all the kids of the world as one day they were going to school and seeing/playing with their friends then the next day they are staying home and learning through a virtual platform. Throughout all of this teachers have had to learn new technology, new teaching techniques and still make sure that all the kids can get the help they need in class. 

For that I want to say thank you to all the teachers out there for all their hard work and dedication!


Supplies: White Cardstock, Kraft Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Thanks A Bushel), Lawn Fawn Paper - White Woodgrain Texture Paper, Carta Bella Stencil (Autumn Leaves), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo), Memento Black Ink, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Yellow Polka Dot Scrap Paper

Thanks Laurie
