So I had some time and managed to pump out a third card for Lawn Fawnatics #25 Challenge. Check out my other two card entries here:
1. Striped Easter Card
2. Happy Easter Box Pop Up Card
The rules say you can submit up to four new cards so if I have more time, I can do one more.
Mail tends to take a bit of time getting to me since I’m in Canada but I received my preorder for Lawn Fawn’s Spring release and absolutely HAD TO USE the Beam Me Up stamp set. I’ll probably be using this stamp set for a few other card ideas but it’s my absolute favourite stamp set from their Spring release and it coordinates so well with another favourite stamp set of mine, Lawn Fawn’s Out of This World!
If you’re unfamiliar with how to make a box card base, you can check out my Youtube tutorial below.
I have two slats in my box card.

I heat embossed MFT’s Starry Night Background Builder on black cardstock for with Recollections Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder for the bottom decorative panels. For the interior and upper decorative panels, I used Bristol Smooth cardstock and did some ink blending to create a galaxy background. I used Distress inks: Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon, Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet, and Black Soot. I sprayed the panels with water and dabbed it off, then I sprayed the panels with my Mini Mister that was filled with Perfect Pearls and water then flicked slightly diluted Copic Opaque White onto my panels.
The following images were from the following stamp sets:
-space crafts, alien, sentiment: Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up
-stars and Earth: Lawn Fawn Out Of This World
The images were stamped with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink because they are a Copic friendly ink.
These are the Copics I used on this card: C1, C2, YG06, YG11, G14, G17, B000, B00, B02, B05, R17, R14, V15, V17, YR16, YR02, Y06, Y08.
After I finished colouring the images, I took all the spaceships and applied a coating of Glossy Accents and set them aside overnight to dry.
I glued all the images onto scrap acetate strips and adhered them into my box card. The Earth image was glued directly to the backdrop.
I heat embossed the sentiment, “Have an out of this world birthday”, in Lawn Fawn White Embossing Powder on black cardstock and cut them out into strips to adhere to my front flap.
To finish up my interior, I applied Clear Wink of Stella to all the stars and the lights on the spaceships.
To complete my card, I added an extra alien to the back where people can write a message.
