Valentine Card Series #7

Hi friends, today I'm excited to bring you a sweet friendship Valentine using some fall images! I love to stretch my stamps in new ways, and these cute critters from the fall-themed Leaf Play by Hello Bluebird are perfect for that. To make it a valentine card, I added the heart balloon from Elephant Friends. I colored my images with Copics and trimmed them out with the matching dies

For the focal panel, I watercolored a subtle background onto a Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Stackable and then adhered that to a Scalloped Circle Stackable cut from Apricot cardstock. I popped that up with foam tape over some Altenew Blushing Blooms patterned papers which were trimmed with the Stitched Rectangle Stackables and added a white heat embossed sentiment on Narwhal cardstock that was trimmed down with an Everyday Sentiment Banner. To finish off the card I added a few Sparkling Clear Sequins and filled in the holes with Crystal Stickles.

Valentine Card Series #6

Hi friends! Today I'm back to share Day 6 in my 2020 Valentine Card Series, and I have to say, this has got to be my personal favorite. I'm using one of my all-time favorite stamp sets, Mama Elephant's Up and Away, and creating this card just made me fall in love with it all over again! This set is perfect because it can easily be converted to birthday, new baby, or any occasion themes with just a simple switch of the color palette. Speaking of color and favorites, I used my Copics to color these cuties and then trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I sponged Shaded Lilac Distress Ink onto some Bristol mooth Surface using the MFT Cloud Stencil. I trimmed off about a quarter inch so that when I adhered it to the Grapesicle card base you could see a little of that pretty purple showing on either side. I stamped my sentiment onto a Puffy Cloud Border and added a sprinkle of hearts from Good Reads in Lawn Fawn Ballet Slippers Ink and Mini Heart Confetti to finish off the card.

Lawn Fawnatics #70 + Valentine Series #5

Hey friends! Today I'm here with a fun new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! Our theme is Lots of Love and we've got a beautiful, vibrant inspiration photo for you to use as your jumping off point.

For my card I combined the adorable Elphie Selfie with the How You Bean? Conversation Heart Add-on. I colored the images with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens to give it that yummy watercolor texture from the inspiration photo, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

I watercolored an additional panel to use as my background and when it was dry, cut it down with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables and also cut out the Scripty Hugs from some Narwhal Cardstock. I adhered the background to more Narwhal Cardstock and added my images, using liquid glue for the Scripty Hugs and foam tape for the rest. I finished it off with a white heat embossed sentiment on Black Licorice Cardstock and a few Iridescent Crystals.

I also did some fun stamping on the inside with Hippo Ink which you can check out in the video. This is also Day 5 of my 2020 Valentine Series, so I do hope you enjoy it! Feel free to go back and watch from the beginning of the series if you missed any!

Lawn Fawnatics #69 + Valentine Series #1

Hello everyone! Today I'm kicking off my 2020 Valentine Card Series, which is also my card for Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #69: For the Birds! I think this would be the perfect Valentine for a teen or pre-teen -- since it's not too lovey dovey. My card features one of the Winter Sparrows, but I am interpreting the ear muffs as wireless headphones! The iPhone and sentiment is from Love Letters.

I colored my images with Copics and trimmed them out with the matching dies. The tree branch was stamped in Walnut ink. I created a focal panel with Watercolor Wishes patterned paper trimmed down with a Stitched Circle Stackable and added two clouds from Spring Showers and some music notes from Christmas Fishes.

I popped this up with foam tape over some Gota Have Gingham and Fall Fling 6x6 patterned papers trimmed with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and the Stitched Party Banners dies. To finish off the inside, I stamped with Peacock ink.
