Rainforest Birthday Card - Lawn Fawnatics #171

Hey friends, it's time for a new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this one is so much fun! We've got a Bingo board for you to use, which gives you so many possibilities! You can get Bingo by doing a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line. For my card, I went with a diagonal line, going from the top left to the bottom right, so paper trimmer, critter, birthday, ink blending, and glitter.

I brought in a bunch of stamp sets for this one, including Simply Celebrate More Critters, Toucan Do It, Wood You Be Mine, Beary Rainy Day, and Ahoy Matey. I colored the image with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I trimmed out the Giant Happy Birthday to You from Woodgrain Light Brown Cardstock and Chocolate Bar and glued them together to create a drop shadow with the woodgrain cardstock on top.

For the background, I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto some Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock using the Birch Tree Stencils to create the look of a jungle or rainforest. In the center I used Twisted Citron and darkened that up at the top and bottom with Mowed Lawn. I trimmed off a little bit with my paper trimmer and glued it to a Noble Fir card base. I popped up my sentiment and images and finished with a little Stardust Stickles. BINGO!

Spring Bird-day Card - Lawn Fawnatics #170

Hey friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this one is right up my alley. It's patterned paper! Yay! You can use any of Lawn Fawn's existing papers or you can create your own. I combined three different patterns from the new Rainbow Ever After 6x6 and used the Winter Birds to make a Spring card by combining it with Toucan Do It and Really High Five. I colored all the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the focal panel, I cut down a piece of Bristol Cardstock with one of the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables and blended on some Distress Oxide Inks using the Cloudy Stencil. I wanted it to be a sunset sky, so I used Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass, I did a little splatter detail to look like confetti, and stamped a sentiment down at the bottom in black ink.

Then I took the patterned papers and trimmed them down with a Large Stitched Rectangle Stackable and layered them on a Speckled Eggshell card base. I popped the focal panel up with foam tape and adhered my images with liquid glue. To finish off the card, I added a few Clear Sequins and some Stardust Stickles.

Twinkle Little Star Card

Hey friends, today I'm back with a card for a super exciting occasion! I just became an auntie again! I have a brand-new baby niece who is just as sweet as can be, and deserved the sweetest card to welcome her into our family. I pulled together images from Hello Bluebird's Little Star and Sweet Dreams, with accents from Word Buddies Jungle and Balloon Buddies. I colored them with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I cut down some Bristol Cardstock with the Nesting Deckle Mini Slimline dies and blended on Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, and Saltwater Taffy. I splattered on some water, ink, and Gansai Tambi Starry Colors. Then I heat embossed my sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and Clear Embossing Powder. I added my images with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue and finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

I really hope you guys enjoy this one, and that my brother and sister-in-law will too! If you want to see how it came together, click below or watch HERE on YouTube. Thanks so much for watching! Have a great day!
