  1. I like to use all the things for scenery building, I love the look of layers and dimension. Beautiful inspiration cards.

  2. Since I am still pretty new to cardmaking with stamps, dies, and stencils, I end up doing a lot of experimenting to get the right look. I often find myself challenged to find the right background and frequently use my own artwork to fill in the gaps. I am discovering the benefits of background items, so I have started adding those to my stash. Thanks for the giveaway!

  4. I love using the cloud stencil to add scenery to a card – so dreamy and cheerful or create a storm using grey ink; so versatile! But loved Grace’s card – it’s amazing!

  9. I make lots of card, making sceneries. It has changed the way I’ve been making but after “stencil” became very popular, that’s the most way to make a scenery, and those are mainly blue sky with clouds and sunset. I remember old days before the stencils, we stamped clouds, masking some clouds, and sponged the blue, etc. but stencils became so convenient. But believe it or not, my first stencil to make “clouds” in the sky is by Print works, and the package says 1997!! I probably bought it 21 years ago, and it still works beautifully! It still has the price on it, and it says $2.79!! Oh I noticed it said “cloud TEMPLATE”! lol I still use it even I bought a couple of more clouds making stencils cuz I just love making the sky with those stencils!

  12. The cloud stencil is my absolute favourite for creating background, so I’m super excited that there’s now a slimline version too. I also like to use background stencils; I think the Starry Sky one is my favourite! ✨

  13. So many amazing cards and scenes, Grace and Tammy just knocked it out of the park there! Love! I am not too good at creating whole amazing scenes, but usually use my stencils & dies for that purpose, I rarely venture out to making my own backgrounds by hand…

  15. Dies and stencils are my go-to background elements. I love the use of the wavy hillside dies to make the elephants’ watering hole. Very clever! 😁

  16. I love Lawn Fawn’s scenery dies. They make scene building easy and so much fun. I love the stencils too, but find myself reaching for the dies the most.

  17. My fave way to add scenery is with dies! There are so many options available to layer and build scenes with!

  18. To add scenery, I typically use dies, because I own the most dies. However, my stencil collection is growing, so I am starting to use those more

  21. I love to use a cloud stencil or the stitched hillside borders to add scenery to the background of my cards. Thanks for all the great inspiration!

    1. I find that I like stencils a lot, expecaly now I am get better at inking.
      Oh to have unlimited money and be able to just get all the things!!

  35. Honestly, I struggle with scenery. The dies help a lot. Heve been wanting to try more stencils cause I like to get inky. 😄

  37. I love scene cards especially with critters. I like to use dies to help me. I’m still learning how to blend ink so that it doesn’t look so blotchy. I enjoyed all the cards from today’s post and now following more of the DT on IG. Thank you.

  54. I enjoy using a combination of stencils and dies for my backgrounds. Extra depth and dimension!

  55. I like to layer my background, and the different dies and stencils add dimension. I couldn’t do that without your great grass, cloud and hillside dies and stencils. I also use background stencils or embossing folders.

  66. Wow! Love all the inspiration from the designers! I really need to jump on the slimline bandwagon. I like to build scenes using lots of dies. Thank you for the chance to win!!

  67. I will die cut grasses or use scissors to

    my scissors. I’m not very good at
    clouds. thanks

  71. I love using your stencils to make those fabulous clouds and other landscape features as well as your incredible dies!

  72. For the ground of my scenery it’s totally dies, I love all the dimension. However, for the sky I’m more into the look stencils give.

  73. I like to add stamped background and die cut ones, equally. These stamps, especially the elephants,,,,,adorable!

  74. Have to admit I don’t have a favorite way …. depends on my mood – if I am in a rush, it is easiest to do with stencils – but love using dies as well! Really appreciate that your inspiration uses your entire line, not just the new items!

  76. I love to use dies and stencils, sometimes both on the same card! But whichever I choose to do I like to add as much detail as possible 🙂 I really am in love with the new stencils and the design team cards!

  97. Adorable cards! Love the stencils and dies! It makes building a background scene so easy…
    Thanks so much for sharing.

  106. I’m a big fan of the cloud stencils and the starry sky stencil and die. I like using die cuts, too, especially for individual puffy clouds and hills.

  108. I usually use pattern paper or ink blending for backgrounds. I don’t make a lot of slimline cards, but these stencils might help me give it a try!

  109. Oh how I love the way that different sets of stamps and dies can be used to coordinate a huge variety of scenes! Love the new slimline card dies. Looks like a “must have” for me.

  110. I don’t usually add a scene to my card, just use a background die or ink blend some color. I’m too lazy. I love these cards and provide awesome ideas and somewhat inspired me to try making scenes for my cards.

  112. At present I use dies to set the scene. I really want to learn to use the blended ink with stencils but I havent had the time to practice.

  113. I love using dies to make a scene— I’m absolutely in ❤️ With all the amazing work here! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  114. I love a good background stencils for sure! I’ve not yet mastered drawing in anything with copics so stencils are my absolute go-to!

  116. Great inspirational designs. I like to cut scenes from dies. My ink blending is still experimental but I like to practice with stencils

  119. I am not a very experienced card maker yet, so at this point I like to use dies or stamps and dies (I say no to fussy cutting!) to create backgrounds. That let’s me focus my energies on getting my feature elements right.

  120. I have been making more slimline cards since you have more landscape and
    enjoy die cut & stencil my backgrounds!

  122. I’m learning how to use the stencils and color blending, I really like the looks of that and you can build your scene from there.

  128. Mine would be stamping, but I just getting started with the blending brushes in the back ground with stencils. You and your designers are so great showing clever ways to make backgrounds

  129. I like to use die cuts, stamps and sometimes ink to make backgrounds for my cards! I’ve never tried stenciling, so that might be something new and fun for me to try!

    1. i love to add scenery with different stamps and dies from many sets! there is always a little something that we can add to fill up the scene!

  139. Choose one? I use them all to make scenes — stencils are best for clouds although I have a ton of dies for clouds; dies are best for trees and I like dies for grass; I love stamps, they are my favorite for everything though. I’m an old crafter so I started when we only used stamps!

  145. I use stamps and stencils for the scenery, or distress oxides. I just started making slimline cards, and these stencils and dies are so nice to use with the full length of a slimline.

  147. To build a scene, I use a combination of supplies I have in hand. But I definitely favoured LF stencils, because it creates flatter card perfect for mailing.

  149. I have to freehand until I can get some scene building things to cut. So Gosh I dont think I’ve done 5 scenes…, but really want to!! But enjoy the design teams talent to create such A.dor.a.ble landscapes and towns and meadows stories. One day I will get the dies and bet I’ll get hooked.

  157. Absolutely adorable! I absolutely love die cuts for building backgrounds. So happy to see more stencils to use as the card is much lighter and easier to mail!

    Love ,love ,love all of those cards. So adorable and whimsical!

  161. I love the cloud stencils because they give such a beautiful affect and are quite simple to use. I was impressed when the first time I used a cloud stencil it came out well. I had anticipated that I would need to practice. I like using both stencils and dies for building a background.

  164. Oooh, tough question! I usually default to an ink-blended background of some sort, plus dies (grass, hills, etc.) to build a scene.

    1. I use all of the above for my scene creating. I love all of the options you have of stamps, dies, stencils, ink blended backgrounds, border dies, pattern paper, etc.

  168. I use all of the above for my scene creating. I love all of the options you have of stamps, dies, stencils, ink blended backgrounds, border dies, pattern paper, etc.

    1. Slim lines are on my try next list for sure!! And unicorns! Love everything you do lawn Fawn team keep it up!!

  175. I actually don’t often add scenery to my cards — I would like too, but I guess I’ve been intimidated! I have made my own clouds with a scrap of paper, and very simple hand-drawn or inked hillsides/skies. I’d like to try more!

  177. For my scenes – I like to use a little bit of everything – to give it dimension. I have really loved using stencils the last few month.

  180. I love the soft look of cloud stencils but I also like the dimension and depth from dies for grass and hills.

  182. Adorable card’s, my favorite way to add scenery to my cards is either stamps and dies or stamps, dies and stencils it really depends on the kind of card I’m making at that time

  183. I have only made one scene card, which was for my uncle, Tio Lolo. It was a bunny in a fishing boat. I used my stamps for the palm trees and land in the background. It was cute and my uncle loved it.

  188. Loving all the slimlines. I tend to either use stamps or hand drawn(colored) scenes, but occasionally die cuts.

  189. Love that dinosaur card! The colors are so pretty! Also really like the farm and rainbow card! The cloud stencil is very near looking.

  193. I like to add shading with distress inks or with Copics to enhance my scene cards. Grassy hills or just plain hills work too. If I am really thinking, I use the designer paper to cut out my elements; however I often covet the paper and opt to ‘forget’ to do so! Enjoying all the DT is showing!!!😍

  200. I love all the border dies and I also love the new stencils and use them with distress oxide ink. It’s quick and easy.

  205. OMG design team! You guys did awesome! My favorite way to design is using dies but I also love the stencils especially after the inspiration shown here! I enjoy each way you suggested because each one gives the card depth and I love a card that has depth to it 😁❤️Happy crafting!

  207. I prefer die cuts for my scenery because I find them easier to use and make a scene…but that rainbow made from a stencil hillside may change my mind!

  209. I have really enjoyed the stencils a ton! For me it seems to be easier to add those special touches to the scene!

  210. These cards are so cute! I love adding the hillsides to my critter cards! Whether it be grass or snow, they always look great with lawn fawn dies!

  215. i love to add scenery with different stamps and dies from many sets! there is always a little something that we can add to fill up the scene!

  216. We eat a lot of sushi, and they come with a small decorative green strip of “grass” to separate the wasabi from the other items. I wash and save all those “grass” pieces and use them as scenery on my cards!

  221. Cloudy stencil is a must for so many cards; however, I also like to use dis, and even stamps to make my own pattern paper design.

  224. I love mixing my stencils with my die cuts. My favorite stencil is the cloudy stencil. You can do so much with it. Some days I just get out all my stencils and make backgrounds.

  226. It depends on what look I am going for. Sometimes I use stencils. Sometimes dies. Sometimes stamps. Sometimes draw. Sometimes I use all four at once!

  228. Mix of stamps, dies and stencils. Hand-drawing? No, no… not me. Terrible at it. That’s why all crafting-stuff is so fun when one can’t draw!

    1. I realized I didn’t actually answer the question 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol I’d say for grass or hills- dies are my go-to. I do really love the cloud stencil, too!

  230. I like using dies for creating my backgrounds on cards but i do like seeing how i can use stencils to also create great backgrounds!

  231. I’ve recently loved the use of stencils to add to the background! I must say my cloud stencil is getting a good workout

  235. I’ve never tried stencils to make a background but now I’m lovin this! Normally, I just use patterned paper for a “background”.

  238. these slimline cards are all so adorable!! When I make a scene, I usually used dies or everything except the sky; I always use cloud stencils for that (and maybe add some die cut clouds!).

  240. My favorite way to do a scene is a combo of stamps, dies, and stencils!! Slimline is becoming another addiction!!

  243. My favorite way to add scenery to cards is stamps, dies, and stencils. If I had to choose just one it would be stencils because you can do it quickly, easily, and you get a great result – and also, they are very affordable!

  244. I’m just starting to get into scene cards after doing a class recently and I just love it. I think adding stencils to backgrounds really helps with the scene. I have a greater appreciation for the little bits that make up the scene…it’s so fun..almost like decorating! Your DT projects are amazing and so inspiring!

  250. I am so excited about these new stencils! I absolutely love using stencils for backgrounds and also dies. Especially my favourite combo: cloudy stencil and grassy dies.

  251. These stencils are great! I’m hopeless with scenery and will often ask my husband (he’s an illustrator) to draw something so I don’t just have things floating on my card.

  295. These are all so cute! My favorite way to add scenery to my cards is to use Lawn Fawn images! Depending on what I am creating – I like to create scenes with all sorts of Lawn Fawn images. I also LOVE the cloud stencil. That is so great for the background. I also like to use the Stitched Hillside Borders to make the foreground. All in all – pretty much everything that is Lawn Fawn goodness is my favorite way to add scenery!

  296. My favorite ways to add scenery are stencils and background stamps because they are both quick and allow more time for lots of critter coloring. And the best part about slimline cards, are the extra room for more critters. 💕
