It’s time for another SheetLoad of Cards hop, and today I’m excited to share the set of 8 cards I created using Crafty Al’s September 2025 SheetLoad of Cards! This month’s sketch was inspired by Carmen from Choose Joy with Carmen, and it was such a fun one to work with. For my version, I pulled out some Lawn Fawn favorites, including the Silly Goose stamp set, coordinating stencils, and a mix of Lawn Fawn dies to build out my scenes. To give my cards some personality, I used old patterned paper from the Brightside collection along with Lawn Fawn cardstock in No. 2 Pencil, Mermaid, and Textured Canvas purples and grays. Each card features a playful goose or gosling, balloons, rocks, and grass to bring the design together.

I followed the sketch to trim all of my patterned papers and cardstocks, then built up the card layers before stamping, stenciling, and coloring my geese with Lawn Fawn inks and Trinity Stamps blending brushes. After die cutting the images, I assembled each little birthday scene—complete with heart balloons, grass, rocks, and punny sentiments like “Honk if it’s your birthday” and “Happy Birthday, you silly goose.” I love how these turned out, especially since I got to finally use some older paper from my stash. Be sure to check out my video to see the whole process, and don’t forget to hop along with the rest of the creative team to see how everyone else interpreted this month’s sketch!
