Thank you so much for watching! Now let’s check out all the Design Team inspiration!


Chari combined Book Collection, Little Woodland Library Friends and colorful Really Rainbow papers to create a special Pull ‘n Slide Surprise!


Chari’s Pull ‘n Slide Surprise has a cute Tassel Tag bookmark hidden behind the slider!



The book-themed sentiment that Chari stamped on the bookmark is found in the Dream Big stamp set!


Audrey‘s summery Pull ‘n Slide Surprise features Outside In Stitched Strawberry and Stitched Strawberry Frame. She used a combination of Bitsy Blooms paper and Textured Dot Tropical cardstock to complement the strawberry theme!


When you pull the slider, this cute sentiment from How You Bean? Strawberries Add-On is revealed.


Grace‘s interactive card is so much fun and the perfect way to thank a favorite coach. It combines Giant You Are #1 and images from All-Star.


The fun color palette is from a combination of Bitsy Blooms and What’s Sewing On petite papers. Grace added a sentiment from Thanks, Thanks, Thanks and Quinn’s Capital ABCs.


The slider is the perfect place to tuck a gift card!


Megan‘s happy card is so sweet with a greeting from Long Distance Hugs! She paired it with all the cuteness from Yay, Kites!


I love how she used acetate to attach the kite and clouds, so they appear to be floating above the card.


Latisha created an adorable interactive card to welcome a new baby! It’s so sweet with the blue Bitsy Blooms Forget-me-not paper!


The sweet mama and baby of Elephant Parade are just so perfect for this simple baby card!


Mindy‘s card is filled summery images from On the Beach, All the Clouds and Life is Good! She ink-blended a beachy background on the Pull ‘n Slide Surprise panels.


And inside, these adorable mice from You Autumn Know and Really High Five are floating by on Pool Party floats! So cute!


Enjoy the Ride with Marine‘s delightful Coaster Critters interactive card! In addition to the amusement park roller coaster, she used images from Coaster Critters Flip Flop, Happy Village, Village Shops and Village Heroes.


This cheery card includes a Henry’s ABCs greeting on the slider, while another cute scene appears below!


As always, Marine added lots of details with a Brick Stencil background and white gel pen highlights.


This Magic Iris Beehive Add-On is so gorgeous! Tammy used the beehive and bees with Tree Branches Backdrop: Landscape as the focal image of her Pull ‘n Slide Surprise.


Magic Messages is perfect to add the pretty greeting. Then Tammy added You’re a Keeper images to be revealed as the slider is pulled up.


Elena‘s Pull ‘n Slide Surprise is so adorable! She featured the cute critters of Little Woodland Library Friends with It’s a Bird and All the Clouds.


The clouds and birds float above the fun critter stack with help from acetate strips. And for a fun surprise, Elena tucked a gift card under the slider.

Lawn Fawn Video {11.28.24} A Trio of Holiday Lights Cards with Chari

Happy Thanksgiving to our friends celebrating today! We are so thankful for all of our wonderful Lawn Fawn friends! We have a fun Thanksgiving surprise for you. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter (in the sidebar) to learn all about it later tonight!

Chari has a really fun video tutorial showing how she used our String of Lights sets on a trio of festive holiday cards! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.


Thanks so much for watching, I hope Chari’s designs inspire you!


For each of these festive designs, Chari started with Blue Jay cardstock that she splattered with white metallic paint. She used colorful rainbow light bulbs with white to pop against the dark blue background! Then she added sparkle with Mini Snowflakes cut from Pixie Dust Sparkle cardstock.


This merry design features String of Lights Backdrop with a gold sparkle Scripty Merry greeting! She layered the greeting on a vellum Scripty Merry Outline Add-On to create a pretty frame! All the rainbow colored bulbs are cut using String of Lights Backdrop Extra Bulbs Add-On.


This cheery card uses our original String of Lights set! The large bulbs are the perfect feature with Scripty Joy, Scripty Joy Outline Add-On and smaller lights from String of Lights Backdrop.


Chari was inspired by the Winter Lights at the North Carolina Arboretum to create her cards, especially this snowflake card! She used Mini String of Lights to add the colorful light bulbs to a Stitched Snowflake! Then she added the greeting with Henry’s ABCs and Silver Sparkle cardstock.

Thanks so much for inspiring us with your beautiful holiday lights cards, Chari!

Oh, Deer! It’s Santa’s Reindeer in a Fun Slimline Scene Card by Mimi


Make sure to join us for our next Create with Us LIVE mini class coming up in just two days! Jenn and I will create two adorable cards with Cheesy Christmas and chat about all things cardmaking! Check out the Create with Us page to get all the details to craft along with us! The fun starts at 4PM Pacific Time TODAY! Click HERE.

Mimi created a super clever holiday card featuring Santa and reindeer from Simply Celebrate Santa! Her slimline card also features Build-A-Cabin as a reindeer barn!


This fun scene shows Santa and his reindeer from Simply Celebrate Santa and Simply Celebrate Winter Critters in the barn, ready for the big night! Mimi used Over the Mountain Borders for the background and added some snow from Winter Birds.


In this barn, made with Build-A-Cabin, Mimi used two reindeer and the sleigh from Over the Mountain Borders. She filled the sleigh with packages from Tiny Birthday Friends. Then she added garland from Shadow Box Card Fireplace Add-On and a wreath and red bow from Build-A-House Christmas Add-On.


For the other barn, Mimi used the shutters from Build-A-Barn for the stalls, with more of the festive red bows. She gave the Build-A-Cabin “barns” texture by using Woodgrain cardstock in light brown.


In between the barn are two more reindeer, standing at the Little Farm Fence Border. Since these reindeer don’t have legs, Mimi got clever and used the Dad + Me moose feet to add hooves for the reindeer. I love how she spelled out “oh, deer” with Henry’s ABCs. It’s such a fun greeting for this charming card!

This card is so cute and totally clever! Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Mimi!
