Fa la la la it’s Fawny Holiday Week!

11/14/2019

Welcome to our special Fawny Holiday Week! This week is all about getting ideas for the upcoming Holidays! Lawn Fawn has fun ideas, giveaways, and videos on their blog this week! There is still plenty of time to create handmade cards for the holidays! I have a really fun card to share with you today. I tried out my very first “slim card” it is 4.25″ x 8.5″ and boy oh boy was it fun to create this little scene!

Using Christmas Fishes as my starting point, I then was able to add in a ton of other underwater critters and of course a mermaid! I love adding little Santa hats from Holiday Party Animal and Cheery Christmas to all the critters.

But first, for the background I used the Snowy Backdrop Die on an ink blended background I created with Distress Inks (Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch) I created 2 and cut them to fit the slimline card. You can see a bit of the seam above the Seaweed Christmas Tree.

For the sentiment, I used Lawn Fawn’s Simply Wavy Banners, and Winter Wavy Sayings. I also used just the dies for Winter Big Scripty Words for “fa la la” and cut it out of the gold cardstock included in the Holiday Sparkle pack.

To keep the colors all cohesive and working together I colored everything rainbow colors, and if you look I placed the images almost completely in rainbow order as well.

I added a lot of Prisma Glitter with a Quickie Glue pen and of course, along the seafloor, I was generous with a Lawn Fawn Glue Tube and added Chunky Glitter. As a finishing touch, I used a white gel pen and added some details to their cheeks 🙂

Upcoming Classes

I am heading to Scrappy Chic in MI this weekend and then I have one more stop in TX and then another in MI before I finishing up my round of teaching this fall.  See my full class schedule here

I know how busy everyone is and I don’t expect that you can check my class page all the time, so the best way to be sure not to miss out if I am coming to your area is to sign up for my email newsletter here. You will want to choose at least the “monthly newsletter” option.

Be sure to pop on over to the Lawn Fawn blog for some more inspiration and a chance to win some prizes!
