Math Belated Birthday Card with Lawn Fawn

Hi friends! I hope that your week is going well so far! I have a fun card set to share with you today!

I'm terrible at sending cards on time, so I always find myself needing belated birthday cards. I used a bunch of different Lawn Fawn stamp sets, along with a fun mathematics background stamp set from Hero Arts, to make a punny, math belated birthday card!

My husband and I both have a college degree in mathematics, so one of my first stamp purchases was a mathematics background set from Hero Arts. I have no idea if it's still available, but it's so fun! I stamped the background with an embossing ink pad to create a lightly inked background on different cardstock panels. The panels are cut with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die and I used different colors of Lawn Fawn cardstock. I also lightly ink blended the edges to give the cardstock some dimension.

I attached each of the panels to a white card base. I stamped the owl from the So Owlsome stamp set, the pencil, books, and calculator from the Plan On It: School set, and the present from Beam Me Up onto white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I also added glasses to the owls to make them look more nerdy. And they looked so much cuter with googly eyes, so I added those, too!

The speech bubbles are from the A Birdie Told Me stamp set, and I added a custom sentiment with Milo's ABCs. I also added a white heat embossed sentiment along the bottom made with the belated stamp in the Year Two set, and the happy birthday stamps from the Beam Me Up set. That sentiment is white heat embossed onto black cardstock and cut with the Everyday Sentiment Banner. I had to run the banner die through my die cut machine two times to make the banner a little bit shorter. Here's a closer look at the card:

Hopefully I won't forget a birthday, but in case I do (I mean when I do) I have some cute belated birthday cards to send! :)

Thanks so much for visiting today and have a great day! :)

Hakuna Matata with Lawn Fawn

 Hi friends! I hope that you all had a great weekend. The current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge is to find inspiration from a book, movie, or song and it looked so like such a fun challenge that I decided to play along! 

One of my favorite movies growing up was the Lion King. I can still remember all of the song lyrics, haha! Isn't it crazy how songs like that can just stay in your head?! So, I created a card inspired by the Lion King song "Hakuna Matata."

I used the animals from the Wild For You and Hay There stamp sets. I tried to color the animals to look like the Lion King characters. Hopefully they look similar!

To create the card, I started by creating a circle mask and ink blending the background with distress oxide inks. Then, I used the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die to cut out the inked panel. I added a branch from the Birch Trees die cut from Woodgrain cardstock. I used Violet's ABCs to create a custom sentiment and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I attached the critters with foam tape and then added a few music notes from the Little Music Notes die and Critter Concert stamp set.

I decided to add a speech bubble above the critters so I used the A Birdie Told Me stamp set and added a custom sentiment. The sentiment was pieced together from a bunch of other sets including RAWR, Don't Worry, Be Hoppy, and RAWRSOME. It took some time to put the sentiment together, but it turned out great! Here's a picture of the inspiration that I used for my card:

 Did you play along with the current challenge? I can't wait to see what you create!
