Hi!

Happy Monday everyone and Happy 4th of July!! Welcome to another Lawnscaping Challenge! We have a fun one in store for you! Something different. Something that is often forgotten! Are you ready?
How often do we forget about the inside of a card? We thought it would be a fun challenge for us all! Stamp, Color, Draw.. Whatever. Just don't forget about the inside of the card for this challenge!!!


We have a special treat in store for you. The designer of the fabulous Sizzix pop up dies AND sponsor of this challenge, Karen Burniston has made two ADORABLE projects just for us!!!! Karen, thank you so much for joining us for this challenge and for sponsoring it. It is truly and honor.








Karen Burniston is a well-known designer and paper-crafter who focuses primarily on designing pop-up and interactive elements and is a licensed designer for Sizzix. She teaches pop-up classes and events throughout the world. You can learn more about Karen by visiting her blog where you'll find video tutorials about her Sizzix pop-ups, as well as, endless examples and inspiration of how the dies can be used. Learn more about Karen at:







Now, check out these FABULOUS, and I mean FABULOUS projects she created using Lawn Fawn stamps, and one of her amazing pop-up dies:





Karen has generously offered up one of her newest Sizzix dies, the Sizzix Scallop Circle 3-D pop-up die by Karen Burniston as the prize for this challenge! THANK YOU KAREN!!!! And yes, it is the one she used her on adorable creations shown above.


We are thrilled to introduce you to our July Guest Designer. Before we do, we want to take a moment and thank the amazingly talenged Vera Yates for guest designing with us in June. It was so much fun having her! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

  6. I just have to say a huge THANK YOU to Lawnscaping Challenge and the DT for the FABULOUS designs using this die. The talent here is amazing and so incredibly inspiring. There is a video tutorial for assembling this die, btw, which is linked on my blog. It's super-dee-duperly easy, though, letting you save all your time and creativity for the decorating!
