Lawn Fawn Video {8.5.25} Marine’s Personalized Back-to-School Cards

Woohoo! Fall Release Week starts tomorrow Wednesday, August 6 as we kick off a fun week of inspiration and product introductions with our Big Giveaway Post! Then on Thursday we will start Design Team inspiration, intro videos and of course, more daily giveaways leading up to Release Day on August 14th. We can’t wait to spend this fun and inspiring week with you!

Marine is back with a fun idea for back-to-school encouragement cards! She personalized a trio of cards featuring Simply Celebrate Graduation and the cute Simply Celebrate Critters! You can watch the video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching!

Marine’s simple design consists of 4 main components on a Gleeful Gradients layered background! She used the chalkboard and speech bubble from Simply Celebrate Graduation. She added a row of cute Simply Celebrate Critters to each one then included a Tree Before ‘n Afters sentiment.

The personalized names are Henry’s ABCs with Holographic cardstock layered on white. I love how she stamped on the chalkboard in Yeti ink; it’s such a cute and fun detail!

Such a fun design, Marine! Thanks for this wonderful back-to-school inspiration!

Let’s start the celebration with a video by Chari! Her design features the adorable Capybaras welcoming a new baby! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for watching!

Chari combined the Capybaras with Dotted Moon and Stars Backdrop: Portrait and Doily Hearts to make a sweet card for baby! She used Gleeful Gradients petite paper for the backdrop.

Then she created a greeting by pairing Oliver’s Stitched ABCs with a pretty “welcome” from Little Bundle.

I love this cute bride and groom on the Cake it Easy wedding cake! Yainea featured Happy Couples cats and the flower arbor to create a beautiful wedding card! She layered the pretty cake on an Outside In Stitched Heart Stackable, then added it to a Radiant Heart Backdrop. She stamped the greeting on a banner from Ta-Da! Diorama! Heart Window Add-On!

I love how Yainea used Gleeful Gradients paper to peek through the Radiant Heart Backdrop and layered behind the sentiment banner.

Audrey welcomes a new baby featuring the cute little sleeping capybara from Capybaras Add-On! She added cute baby images from Elephant Parade to layer on the Giant Outlined Hello Baby!

The newlywed cats from Happy Couples look so happy posing with a 3-tier Cake it Easy wedding cake! Elena used Secret Garden Window to frame this pretty vignette! How cute is the “we do” stamped on the sign from Carrot ’bout You!

Megan welcomes a new baby with Capybaras! Add-On and Center Picture Window Card!

Megan framed the Rub-A-Dub-Dub tub in the center window adding more Capybaras to this fun design!

These sweet Capybaras star in Lynnette‘s lovely wedding card! She added a top hat, bowtie and veil along with the flower arch from Happy Couples. For the greeting she combined “congrats” from Simply Celebrate Graduation with Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring.

Grace was also inspired to pair Capybaras with Rub-A-Dub-Dub to create a beautifully memorable baby card! She framed the scene with ovals using the coordinating Lawn Cuts dies from Giant Thank You Messages to cut the opening and Giant Easter Messages to add the lacy trim!

Grace created a shaker with the window filling it with Chunky Glitter and sequins, with texture from Brick Stencil in the back. Then she added sweet baby girl charm with What’s Sewing On paper and a special greeting adding Kanga-rrific Baby Sentiment Add-On to a Capybaras sentiment.

Marine created a special wedding card for the adorable I Heart Pandas couple! She set the scene with Bamboo Stencils, adding the Simply Celebrate Hangouts log to hold the chocolate Cake it Easy wedding cake! She also included extra bamboo and a butterfly from I Heart Pandas Add-On with flowers from Toucan Do It.

Introducing again, Garden Mouse!

And now we present Garden Mouse, a previous special purchase set now available as part of the Summer 2025 Release! Send a sweet thank you and sow seeds of encouragement and cheer with this mouse-terfully made set! Check out the Garden Mouse intro video to learn more about this adorable set!

Megan created a cute seed packet design using Henry’s ABCs and Rainbow Ever After paper. I love how she used a circle to frame the little Garden Mouse scene!

Marine‘s beautiful card starts with paper from What’s Sewing On as the background. Then she created the look of a pretty potting shed by grouping Garden Mouse images on shelves from Purrfectly Wicked. She also used Henry’s ABCs with the heartfelt sentiment in this set.

Elise‘s design has our little Garden Mouse filling lots of pots with pretty flowers! This thoughtful message would make a very special thank you for someone who has encouraged you!

Audrey‘s card is so adorable, watching the garden grow! She combined Garden Mouse with Foursquare Backdrop: Portrait and garden beds from Some Bunny to create cute little scenes! Each scene shows the garden growing from seeds to all the pretty flowers!

Latisha‘s sweet design features a stenciled background of clouds and grass. She chose bright, happy colors for all the Garden Mouse images!

Lynnette highlighted another of the sentiments included in this Garden Mouse set! I love how she used Vertical Rainbow Stripes washi tape and Flower Garden Washi tape to add color to her clean and simple design!

Chari grouped the cute Garden Mouse images with the Build-A-Greenhouse for her charming design! I love how she used the smaller images to create a custom pattern for the background! It’s so sweet and clever!

Elena‘s Garden Mouse friendship card is so cute! From the Reverse Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Window and All the Clouds in the sky, this scene is so happy! You might even spy a cute mouse and other images from Veggie Happy!

Mimi’s Interactive Classroom Pull-tab Message Card

Woohoo! Summer Release Week is coming soon! Join us for the Big Giveaway on Tuesday, June 10! We are so excited to introduce our cute and summery new stamps, dies, stencils and more. There will be Design Team inspiration, intro videos and daily giveaways through June 19 when the new goodies will be released. We can’t wait!

School’s out, woohoo! Mimi is with us today to share a clever interactive pull-tab card with a dual message! She used Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On to change the message for year end, to one for a new school year!

I love how Mimi created the adorable classroom. The background is a fun petite paper from Into the Woods Remix and the “floor” is the woodgrain Knock on Wood Coffee Table paper. She created the alphabet banner using Rainbow Ever After Thumbelina paper and Smitty’s ABCs!

Then she used the coordinating coloring stencils and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink to color the Simply Celebrate Graduation chalkboard. She cut out the center of the chalkboard to create a window. Then she added color to the bookcase from Simply Celebrate Hangouts with coloring stencils as well!

The cute Simply Celebrate More Critters students are sitting at desks that Mimi pieced together using a planter box from Garden Before ‘n Afters and legs from You’re Claw-some!

Using the pull-tab to pull the panel behind the chalkboard down, the “school’s out” message changes to “welcome back”!

Mimi’s instructions for making the changing chalkboard:

– I die cut Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables from Coffee Table and Into the Woods pattern papers, and two more from white cardstock.
– I trimmed the pattern papers and adhered them to one of the white stitched rectangles. I also added a strip of white cardstock to divide the floor and wall.
– I die cut the open slot for the pull tab to the bottom of the card and also trimmed out an opening where the chalkboard would be placed with an x-acto knife.
– To make the interactive chalkboard – on a separate panel of white cardstock, I ink blended with Rustic Wilderness distress oxide ink, then stamped and white heat embossed the words and images from Henry Jr.’s ABCs, Just Add Gl i tter, Pool Party and Beam Me Up.
– I assembled the pull tab die, trimmed the interactive chalkboard, adhering it to the pull tab and positioned it with the chalkboard opening.
– Then I backed it with the second white stitched rectangle frame with foam strips.
– I adhered all my images and finished with the alphabet banner. I also stamped the apple from the chalkboard, fussy cut and added it to the chalkboard.

Thank you so much for sharing this clever interactive pull-tab card, Mimi!
