Lawn Fawn Slimline & Car Critters for Father’s Day!
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! I’m SUPER jazzed to share this awesome card by Tammy Stark today using NEW Lawn Fawn stamps and dies from their mini release revealed just last week! Read on for more information and enjoy!
Hi friends! Tammy here, sharing this fun Father’s Day slimline card, featuring Lawn Fawn’s Car Critters and Slimline Dies from the brand new mini release.
To begin, I cut a large white stitched rectangle, using the Large Slimline with Sliders Die Cuts. Next, using the Small Slimline Lift the Flaps Die Cuts, I cut two rectangles from Bristol Smooth cardstock. I created a fun starry night background by die cutting my panel with the Snowy Backdrop and ink blending it with Faded Jeans, Broken China, and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks.
Next, I created the hills by die cutting the other slimline rectangle with the various dies from the Slimline Stitched Hillside Borders Die Cuts and ink blended with the following Distress Oxide inks:
- Grassy Hill: Shabby Shutters and Bundled Sage
- Water: Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass
- Sandy Hill: Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs
I cut the mountains from Paper Bag Cardstock using the Stitched Mountain Border Lawn Cuts and adhered to my inked background. I then layered the grassy hill, the water, and the sandy hill to my background. Using the Road Border, I cut a piece of Black Licorice cardstock, layered over white cardstock, and tucked it under the water.
Next, I stamped the images onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Premium Ink, colored with Copic markers, and die cut using these sets:
- Car Critters/ Coordinating Dies
- Winter Skies (trees)/ Coordinating Dies
- Beary Happy Holidays (fishing pole and fish)/ Coordinating Dies
- Village Heroes (clouds)/ Coordinating Dies
To complete my card, I stamped the sentiment from Car Critters on the bottom of the sandy hill with black ink. The DAD sentiment was made by cutting Ground Coffee cardstock with Oliver’s Stitched ABC’s. I adhered above my stamped sentiment and attached my other images to my card, using foam tape on the car for dimension. to finish, I attached my completed panel to a 3.5 X 8.5 inch white card base.
Thanks so much for joining me today! I can’t wait to see what you all create with Lawn Fawn’s new mini release!! XO, Tammy

Mixed Media with Shari Carroll: Locket Style Tags
I don’t know where to start first… the fact that I get to use the NEW Speckled Egg Distress products or that I have two special photos, me on the left and Melody on the right. I’ll start from the beginning, the photos.
It’s no doubt that she is my mini-me, and I love to find old photos of myself to share the resemblance. Two generations apart and so much in common.
I wanted to create something as a keepsake to display with us together and came up with the idea of a folding tag or locket style display.
I used the Tim Holtz #8 Tag Thickboards as the base and painted them with Speckled Egg Distress paint. I paired Speckled Egg with Vintage Photo as they are really complementary to each other.
I colored a couple of sheets of Watercolor paper with Distress Stains and inks, one in Speckled Egg and Vintage Photo for the larger piece of my tags, one with Speckled Egg for the Tiny Tattered Florals and lastly, one with Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso for the Garden Greens.
I found so many messages to add to this project that fit what I wanted to say from the Tim Holtz Clippings stickers. I also considered coloring the Tim Holtz Typography Findings but felt they looked great left alone.
I filmed the process and hope I’ve inspired you to create a special keepsake project of your own using treasured photos. Enjoy!!
