Hey friends! If it’s bank holiday where you are, I hope you’re managing to take some time for yourself and get some crafting in! We’ve lurched from one illness to the next in our house (tonsilitis for my daughter, sinusitis for me, then a hospital stay for the dog), so I needed some time to unwind and grabbed a few hours in the craft room this week!

I really enjoyed making this card for the current Lawn Fawn challenge. They’ve got a fun BINGO board, where you can choose any column, row or horizontal line to use as your parameters/criteria – I chose Column I which was “cute, critter, bright, stamp, and Lawn Cuts”.

For my card, I die cut a camera shape using the Magic Iris Camera Add-on from Fog cardstock, then added a horizontal cut across the top with the Magic Iris Camera Pull-Tab Add-on set. I die cut the polaroid shape and the pull-tab from the same set out of white card, and set aside the inner rectangle to create my scene later. I then die cut the camera lens from Mushroom and Black cardstocks.

To make my camera “bright”, I cut a quarter inch strip from five rainbow coloured patterned papers from Lawn Fawn, and glued them horizontally across the camera. I then glued my camera lens in the centre, and a small scrap of the orange cardstock behind the opening for the flash.

To create my one-layer polaroid scene, I figured out where I wanted each image to go, stamped those that would be in the forefront first, masked them off, then stamped the next layer, masked those, then stamped the most background parts of the image. I drew in the shelves by hand, and I coloured the scene with Copic markers. For the masking, I just used Heffy Doodle Memo tape because it’s so low-tack.

The stamp set I used was the Just Add Glitter clear stamp set.

These are the colours I used:

I assembled the polaroid image by gluing the frame and image to some scrap paper. I then made the pull tab by folding it over some of the pink patterned paper with white card underneath for strength, then added the tab to the back of the polaroid image. I slotted the polaroid into the horizontal opening and flipped the card over. I added some thin foam tape strips around the edges of the card and on each side of the horizontal opening, so that the polaroid would have a channel to move up and down in.

Finally, I made my shaped card by die-cutting an A2 card blank with the camera die – making sure it hung over the folded edge a little, to keep the fold in tact. I then glued the camera to the shaped card base with the foam tape. I stamped my sentiment from the same stamp set on to the front of the card, and for a final glittery flourish, added some Lawn Fawn glitter pen to the “flash”.

Here’s a little reel of the card in action:
