Hey friends! Today I'm sharing details of this super cute mouse filled slimline card for the which I created for Lawnfawnatics Challenge #89 'Happy Holiday Critters'.
I stamped and coloured lots of images from various sets of Lawn Fawn stamps (see below for a full list of supplies). I coloured all the mice the same colours and many of the images are coloured with same pinks and reds (all listed in the graphic) to keep the colouring quick and keep the card looking cohesive throughout.
For the background I used Distress Oxide inks in Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry, focusing the intensity of the colour at the top of the card stock. To deepen the shade further I brought in Distress Ink in Festive Berries. I added some white dots with a gel pen to create more interest and give the look of wallpaper to the scene.
The idea of the card was to create a production line so I know my oven would go in the middle of the card. I spent some time arranging the left side of the card to feature all the baking and mixing elements and on the right of the oven, I pulled together lots of images to create a feast for Santa!
I kept the sentiment simple, not least because I didn't have a great deal of room, but also wanted to keep the focus on the images. The sentiment uses two stamps from 'A Creature Was Stirring' stamp set which were white heat embossed with my favourite white embossing powder (Ranger Fine Detail) on to black card stock and cut into thin strips.
My card panel measures 8 3/8" by 3 3/8" and was secured down to a white card base measuring 8 1/2" by 3 1/2".

I'm back with another card for Halloween! Couldn't wait to used my new Lawn Fawn Fox Costumes stamps and make a fun fall themed card.
I started by finding an inspiration photo on Pinterest then picked out some Distress Ink and Oxide colours that I thought matched quite well.
I cut a scalloped slim panel from Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock using Scalloped Slimline Die from Time for Tea Designs. Using an assortment of Distress Inks I ink blended the panel. The colours I used were Distress Ink in Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans & Black Soot. I also used a little Weathered Wood Distress Oxide to blend from orange to blue. To add some distressing to the panel I splattered on some rose gold metallic paint and some black paint. I set the aside to dry.

I stamped and cut the foxes and coloured them in with alcohol markers. A list of the main colours used can be found in the colour map pictures below
The grass banks the foxes are each standing on were made from black Sparkle card from the Autumn sparkle card pack. I cut a long strip, 1/2" wide and then ran the strip through the die cutting machine with a grass border die from the Landscape Borders die set by Time for Tea designs. I cut the strips in to 2" lengths. The strips were adhered with liquid adhesive at alternate intervals down the card.
To give the strips the scalloped edges I ran the whole panel back through the die cutting machine with the same scallop slimline die.
The scallop panel was adhered to a white heavy weight card panel measuring 8 3/16" x 3 3/16" then the white panel adhered to a black slimline card base. The card base measured 8 1/4" by 7" scored at 3 1/2" to create a card front measuring 8 1/4" 3 1/2".
Scotch 3M foam tape was secured to the back of all the foxes and adhered to the card on the sparkly grass banks. The accessory images (some from Fox Costumes and some from Spooky Village stamp set) were applied using liquid adhesive.
For the sentiment I stamped 'Trick or Treat' on to treated black card stock with Versamark Ink, coated the inked piece with Ranger Super Fine White Embossing Powder and heat set with my heat tool. I cut the words out using my Tim Holtz Guillotine Trimmer, popped double sided adhesive on the back of each piece and secured them to the card. A T-square ruler helped to get the strips straight.
To finish off the card I added some 'BOO' and 'EEEK' all over the background with Versafind Onyx Black Ink and a few bats from Spooky Village stamp set. I applied some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen on various elements of the copic coloured images for some subtle sparkle. Lastly I added a few small dots of glue and adhered some small gold star confetti.
I really hope you enjoyed this card, I really had fun making it! Check a out the YouTube video below for a full how-to tutorial.

Hey Crafters! Today I'm sharing a super cute food and Christmas themed card tutorial which I have recreated from the Lawnfawnatics challenge #80. I was super excited to be a featured Fawnatic and I really hope you like the tutorial and corresponding information.
I have owned the 'Sprinked with Joy' stamp and die set and the 'Milk & Cookies' set for a couple of years now and never made a card with them. I just couldn't think up an idea or design that I loved. Then I saw the 'Holiday Helpers' set and just knew they were the addition I needed to pull together a cute card. The 'Baked with Love' set just finished this card off but I only used the mixer....I ran out of room 😂. Next time I'll create a slimline version so I can fit more images on!
