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


Mindy combined cute mice from You Autumn Know and Whoosh Kites with sentiments from Simply Celebrate Graduation and You Goat This to create a super cute card! And the mortarboard and diploma from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On are so charming added to the star!


This Outside In Stitched Star shaker window is so fun and adds a special detail to Mindy’s simple design!


Latisha stenciled her card with Graduation Caps Background Stencils before adding Giant You Did It! She layered the giant greeting on a pink pastel pearlescent vellum circle with a sentiment from Simply Celebrate Graduation.


Perfect for an elementary school graduation, Megan‘s card features a cute chalkboard! She used the Shadow Box Card to make the frame for the chalkboard, cutting it from Woodgrain cardstock. Then she added an apple from Build-A-Barrel: Apple and white embossed messages from Simply Celebrate Graduation.


Melissa‘s card is so eye-catching! With a glittery gold background, she layered on a Candy Cane Lane oval shape. It’s the perfect colorful backdrop for the black Giant You Did It and the graduation cap!


Elena‘s graduation card is a fun shaker design with Simply Celebrate Graduation! The background from Candy Cane Lane petite paper adds fun color and gold foil stripes. Elena used Ta-Da! Diorama! Scalloped Window Add-On to create the shaker window.


The reward for finishing a course of study is a summer filled with sunshine and fun! Yainea‘s card features Giant You Did It with Pool Party! She added a Fly High sentiment on a Fancy Wavy Banner and a strip of Vertical Rainbow Stripes Washi adds lots of happy color!


Audrey used Graduation Caps Background Stencils to create an overall design on her card. Then she added an Outside In Stitched Apple with the cap from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On! And then she layered Scripty Congrats in Green Sparkle cardstock on a white Scripty Congrats Outline Add-On.


Tammy‘s graduation card is so elegant, even with the cute mice of Simply Celebrate Graduation! She created a full card shaker filled with star shaker bits. And the Giant You Did It in glittery gold looks so good with the black, red and white mortarboard and diploma from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On.


Grace created a glitter filled shaker card to congratulate the graduate! And the colors and collage elements are so fun and perfect for a celebration! She stared with a Stitched Rectangle panel of Rainbow Ever After petite paper that she cut using Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Window.


Then Grace created a collage using Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On, Party Balloons and congrats from Simply Celebrate Graduation. She used the thin guides from Pull ‘n Slide Surprise to cut a rainbow of cardstock strips to layer Louie’s ABCs letters on! So bright and fun!

It’s Caramel Apple Time with Mayra

October Inspiration Week was so much fun, and we have some fun surprises next month, but now let’s get back to amazing creativity with the Inspiration Team! Mayra reminds us that it’s caramel apple season with some brilliant gift packaging ideas!


Your Autumn gift-giving will be so memorable with Mayra’s collection of caramel apple packaging!


For the Goodie Bag and Scalloped Treat Box Mayra created a cute caramel apple shaker element! She combined Outside in Stitched Apple Stackables and Stitched Apple Frames to make the shaker. Then she added the “caramel” using I Scream You Scream and Art Supplies along with a bow from Build-A-Barrel: Apple. And then she white embossed an Apple-solutely Awesome sentiment on vellum Simple Wavy Banners.

Next, she created a Stitched Basket using an apple from Build-A-Barrel: Apple and more “caramel”! The “for you” greeting is found in Shutter Card Add-On.


Mayra decorated the Diagonal Gift Card Pocket with another caramel apple shaker. And also added another apple from Build-A-Barrel: Apple to the Tiny Gift Box!


How clever and fun are these projects by Mayra! These designs are perfect for all those Fall-season birthdays and gift-giving occasions for teachers, friends and neighbors!

Mayra, your creative is so amazing! I love all these gift packages, thank you so much for inspiring us!

Lawn Fawn Video {8.30.22} Marine’s Clever Expanding Apple-solutely Awesome Scene & Bonus Day Giveaway Winners!

Our friends at Scrapbook.com are celebrating Creative Kindness Week to feature their awesome Cards for Kindness program! To learn more about how you can spread happiness by sharing your handmade cards through Cards for Kindness, click HERE.

We have our Bonus Day winners below but first; Marine is back with another fun “mouse adventure” design! This time she created a cute “expanding scene” using the Peekaboo Pop-Up die in a clever way! You can watch the video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching!

Marine’s creativity is always off-the-charts, and this card is no exception! She gathered the mice for an apple-picking adventure in a design that expands to reveal more of the scene! Marine took advantage of the scores and folds on the main Peekaboo Pop-Up die to hide part of the scene.

To create the adorable “apple house”, Marine started with an Outside In Stitched Apple Stackable. Then she added details from Pumpkin House, Mushroom House and Build-A-Castle. She borrowed shutters from Scalloped Treat Box Beach House Add-On coloring them bright yellow!

To make the “tables” for the yummy apple goodies, Marine used the planter boxes from Garden Before ‘n Afters. She trimmed the top leaving just the wooden box. The Apple-solutely Awesome mice play very nicely with their friends! Marine used mice from You Autumn Know, A Creature Was Stirring and Berry Special!

Marine shopped her stash to find all the extra little elements to bring this scene to life. We fill our stamp sets with lots of scene-building images. So, if you don’t have all these sets, take a closer look at the ones you have!

Thank you so much for sharing this delightfully clever inspiration, Marine!

And now we have our Bonus Day Winners!

Our two bonus day winners each receive the new Hot Foil Plate sets and a stamp set with coordinating die set of their choice from the new Fall & Winter 2022 Release!
