Let’s celebrate summer! Chari made a fun tri-fold card with a beautiful summery scene! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.


Thanks so much for watching Chari’s tutorial!


Tri-fold cards are so much fun, and Chari‘s mini slimline design is filled with a beachy summer scene!


She used Platform Pop-Up Palm Tree Inserts to create an “island”. And she used Stitched Wave Borders to create the extra panels that expand the scene.


Then she combined images from Shello Friend, Smooth Sailing, Mermaid for You Flip-Flop and You Are Sublime to fill in the summery scene!


Yay! It’s summertime and the Summer Friends wish you a happy summer! Audrey created a watercolor background, then she placed the cute friends on the Simply Celebrate Hangouts brick wall.


Shello, friend! Elise filled the background with Stitched Seashells cut from Gleeful Gradients papers. Then she finished this cool card design by spelling out shello with Finley’s ABCs.


The Car Critters bears are heading off to the beach in Marine‘s delightful scene! She used Riverside Backdrop: Portrait for the road then lined it with palm trees from Ahoy Matey and Life is Good. And she added the lighthouse from Smooth Sailing. I love how she used all the Car Critters Road Trip Add-On images on top of the cars and the sentiment from Summer Friends is so perfect!


Mindy‘s sunny card features Summer Friends and Tropical Backdrop! She also used Stitched Simple Wavy Borders for the ocean and Sunray Stencil to ink up that amazing background! For the greeting she combined Henry’s ABCs with Simply Summer Sentiments!


Megan created a beachy background with Platform Pop-Up Palm Tree Inserts and Stitched Wavy Backdrop: Portrait! It’s the perfect place for the Shello Friend critters to hang out with the crab from Life is Good! It’s “shrimply” the best!


Melissa created a cool background with Raffle Tickets and colorful cardstock including our new Hyacinth color! She stamped the tiny saying on the tickets before arranging the Summer Friends on a vellum circle and layering it on top. And a Stitched Scalloped Square Frame in Holographic cardstock is such a fun border!


The Shello Friend gang plays nicely with other underwater sets including Mermaid for You! Yainea used Stitched Ripple Backdrop with Gleeful Gradients paper. Then she added a fun friendship greeting from Magic Messages.


Elena got so creative using Riverside Backdrop: Landscape to create a fun beach scene. Ahoy Matey, Life is Good and Smooth Sailing fill in the beachy elements. Then she used Tiny Christmas and Hay There, Hayrides for the dog and sailor.

  9. As much as I love teaching my favourite part of summer is being off. And living in Northern Europe I LOVE the light nights.

  11. I have to say summer is not my favorite, I burn in the sun and it’s just been so hot. But I do love my bird feeder, I can’t believe the critters I get. They are hilarious.

  12. I love the longer days and being able to take walks without a jacket or sweater or sit on the porch to enjoy a summer breeze.

  18. What I love best about summer is the longer days, especially in the mornings, when it gets light really early!!! I am an early bird!!!

  24. What I love about summer, besides the obvious, is that is ok to just relax. Nobody expects you to keep a crazy busy schedule.

  31. Everything is just so much easier… summer clothes, no snow on the car, glass of rosé outside, good book, lazy around….
    Got my Riverside Backdrops today! Yaaaaaay!!

  32. I look forward to seeing my gardens grow! Enjoying the warmer weather and walk on the beach and river near my home!

  40. Although I’m retired, I still feel like the pace of things slows down in the summer, which I love. I am a fan of hot dogs, hamburgers, and brats on the grill, too.

    Chari’s mini slimline card is adorable. Thanks for another week of delightful Lawn Fawn inspiration, and the summer sale, too.

  44. My favorite thing about summer is getting to see the rewards of my Spring plantings! This year I went crazy with my flower colors and did a little bit of everything in my favorite vertical planter. 💕

  45. As a homeschool mom, my favorite thing is the relaxed schedule and break from lessons (which means more crafting time).

  46. I love being able to spend time outside, walking with friends, or sitting and enjoying the sunshine. But this summer has been either too hot, or too rainy, or both!

  49. I love the longer days of light and sunshine. I confess I’m not a fan of the heat and humidity.

  52. My favourite thing about the summer is the weather and getting to spend lots of time outside, eating lots of ice cream!

  53. I love all the summer celebrations and the family time they bring. Hanging out with family is my favorite! 💜😊

  55. This video from Chari is amazing! I am loving all the examples you shared above. What a fantastic (or FINtastic) DT this company has!!! What makes me happy? A low-humidity summer day that’s sunny. I also love summer cookouts. What makes the LF team happy?

  57. I simply love the fact that I get to slow down, soak up the warm sun rays, relax, and enjoy a good book!

  63. What I love about summer is that I get 4 weeks off work and also get to celebrate my birthday and my oldest two daughter’s birthdays. Plus the nice weather and it stays light outside longer yay!

  70. I love the beach the most about summer. The ocean sounds, the smell, the lazy days and chilled attitude of it all.

  82. I like being able to go camping when it’s summer. There are lots of adorable ideas for summer cards

  84. I love the warmer weather, birds singing in the trees, flowers in bloom, busy bees going about their business and BBQs.

  89. Summer is a MUCH needed break from the cold dark winters in SD. Love backyard cookouts, soft green grass and not having to wear so many layers LOL

  90. I love sunny days! I enjoy all the birds and critters that visit my yard. Picnics and lazy days.
    Thanks for the inspiration week and chances to win LF goodies!

  93. The abundant sunlight is lovely, though I have to remind myself about sun protection (we’ve been having UV warnings lately)! ☀️🧴 Don’t forget your spf 👍🏻

  94. I love the smell of the cool morning air in the summer! I hate hot weather so another favorite thing about summer is that fall and winter are coming! Lol!!

  96. I love being able to wear my cute summer clothes, Feeling the breeze on a hot sunny day, and cookouts with family and friends!

  110. Things I love about summer are the warm weather, summer fruits, and picking fresh vegetables from my garden.

  114. Our warmest weather doesn’t happen until September, but it’s glorious when summer finally arrives. Meanwhile I love all of the juicy summer fruits. They are all just a tease for summer! So, I guess you could say it’s the anticipation of summer that I like the best. By the time it arrives, it leaves very quickly, so no time to worry about the excessive heat. (Summer finally ends by mid October.)

  125. I love getting to spend more time around bodies of water. Pools, lakes, oceans…i will take any and all, please! 🙂

  126. Summers in So. Florida are too stinkin’ hot – so I love
    that I can stay inside with the A/C in my craft room every
    day if I want to (& I do! lol).

  130. Usually I Love summer because it’s my Birthday, but this year my Dad passed away on my Birthday. Not sure summer will be the same for me. We live in Scorching HOT Tucson, AZ and summer is Not fun here. Love all the DT creations!!!!

  135. I love the longer days, but not the heat. I like cocktails on the porch in the evening, walking when it’s cool and summer skirts.

  140. Oh my gosh I LOVE Chari’s tri-fold card! I’ve been wanting to learn more fun card folds, so I definitely wanna try that!

  146. Summer is probably my least favorite of the holidays, but it makes me really appreciate air conditioning!

  156. I love hanging out with my family and especially my beautiful grandkids! The beach is the best spot to hang out!

  158. Hi Everyone!
    I love summer because the sun is shining, flowers are blooming and there’s always an outdoor activity to attend! 🥳

  165. Camping trips and being able to read outside with my morning coffee are my favourite things about summer!
