Out Of This World Birthday, Lawn Fawn
I created this card for my nephew Elijah. He recently celebrated his 10th birthday. I have been sending handmade cards to my nephews since they were born, but I realize the older they get, the more I need to impress them! Lawn Fawn interactive cards are perfect for that! When Elijah called me to thank me for the card, in the background, his older brother Landon was saying “I want to learn how to make that card!” and I KNEW I had to jump at the chance! More on that later in the post.
For this card, I used some older 6×6 Lawn Fawn papers and the Beam Me Up set along with the new Magic Iris
You can NEVER go wrong with adding a little google eye to your creations when making cards for kids (or even big kids 😉 )
So with Landon showing an interest in how to make a Magic Iris, I created kits for both him and Elijah.
I packaged them up and mailed them to Rhode Island with a Tombo Dot Runner and some 3/16″ glue dots! We set a time to FaceTime together. Just Landon wanted to make it, which is totally ok.
It was fun to see him start to figure things out or guess what the next step might be. He did a great job following directions and we didn’t have to fix anything along the way!
He decorated his Magic Iris after we got off the phone. My friend, their mom, Melyssa messaged me later that he was FaceTiming with a friend, and showing them what he made. She overheard him say to them “my aunt makes cards for a living” hehehe and at dinner that night they always share their favorite part of the day, his favorite was “making the card with auntie jenny”
During all the craziness in the world right now, sometimes it’s the simplest thing that brightens your day and makes your heart happy. Here are the cards Landon created:

All these cards are wonderful, I love love love kids in craft rooms or at least participating n craft. It’s been such a great way to not only occupy them during the pandemic but it’s giving them the chance to try skills & learn to include craft in their lives. Hope to see more cards soon. Stay safe and healthy x
wow!
these are amazing!
You are a special aunt! very neat and their cards are great too! I just got my magic iris die set. Now I’m inspired.
Even boys get crafty too! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been doing a lot of craft projects with my 7 year old daughter lately and we’ve had so much fun. She’s even been kicking me out of the craft room! Can’t wait for your kits.
How fun that your nephews like your cards! And what an awesome thing for “auntie jenny ” to send them Magic Iris card making kits!! Love your card to Elijah, and Landon’s cards are great! Sweet story indeed!! ♥️
This is the sweetest post I have read in a really long time! Landon’s cards are awesome. He has skills!
So sweet and the best kind of day…. adorable cards, yours and HIS.
Fantastic card and I love Landon’s cards – so adorable!
That’s so cute to have the kiddos making cards. I bought the Magic Iris but have yet to make a card. It’s on my “to do” list. So very cute and bought a smile to my face.
Spectacular! Heart warming! Thanks for sharing – with him & with us! 🙌🤩
This is so sweet. I love this. Thanks for sharing… made me smile!
