Welcome to the April Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week!
I've got lots to share with you this wonderful Saturday so let's get started with this sweet ocean scene birthday card. I just love a fun play-on-words and Lawn Fawn always comes up with incredible greetings that make super fun and interesting cards! I mixed and matched images from the Year Six Stamp Set and several Lawn Fawn stamp sets to create my scene and framed it all up with a Stitched Circle Frame Die.
I die cut the circle using a Stitched Circle Frame Die from smooth white cardstock. On the inside, solid circle I stamped the sand border from the Life Is Good Stamp Set using the Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and colored in the sand with Copic Markers. I added detail to the sand with the Sakura White Opaque Pen and Stardust Glitter Pen. I created a mask with the same stamp image and masked off the sand, applying Fish Tank and Deep Sea Inks to form the "water" using a Ink Blending tool.
I stamped the Year Six image, seaweed, rocks, and coral from the Fintastic Stamp Set, coral from the Critters In The Sea Stamp Set, and shell from the Life Is Good Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock and colored in the images with Copic Markers. I die cut the images with the coordinating Year Six Dies, Fintastic Dies, Critters in the Sea Dies, and Life Is Good Dies.
The greeting from the Year Six Stamp Set and the bubbles from the Fintastic Stamp Set were stamped along the top of the scene using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I adhered the stamped, colored, and die cut images along the sandy border and Glossy Accents added to the bubbles.
I adhered the circle to a 4.25" square white card and adhered the white circle frame around the scene, finishing with the black cardstock die cut circle frame. I rounded all four corners with a 1/2" corner rounder.

My next card features another fun play-on-words with these cute donuts and the "donut worry" greeting from the Donut Worry Stamp Set. I added the pastry bag and additional punny greeting from the Baked With Love Stamp Set to round out this donut-themed card.
I stamped the donuts from the Donut Worry Stamp Set and the pasty bag and hearts from the Baked With Love Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using the Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and colored in the images with Copic Markers before die cutting with the coordinating Donut Worry Dies and Baked With Love Dies.
I added a subtle layer of glitter to the pastry bag and hearts with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.
I trimmed a 2.25" x 5.5" strip of white cardstock and added detail to each long side with a Stitched Border Die. I applied Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink to the bottom edge of the strip and then applied the ink through the Tiny Spaced Hearts Stencil. I stamped greetings from the Donut Worry Stamp Set and Baked With Love Stamp Set along the bottom edge of the strip using the Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and adhered the stamped, colored, and die cut images along the strip.
On a side fold card base I applied the Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink through the Simon Says Stamp Diagonal Stripe Stencil.
I die cut two borders from vellum using the medium sized Scallop Stitched Borders Dies and adhered each under one long edge of the embellished strip.
I adhered the strip to the stenciled card base and finished the card with the stamped and die cut hearts.
