Mini Slimline Valentine’s Day Card featuring Lawn Fawn

Hello friends. It’s time to start the new year off with some Valentine’s Day cards. My first card is a mini slimline featuring the Lawn Fawn Fly High stampset. The little critters are adorable and can be used in a variety of ways.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 6 x 6″ and scored at 3″ to create a card base and another piece which I die cut using the Queen & Company Foundations 17 Dies to create a panel measuring 2-3/4 x 5-3/4″ for the background.

I used the MFT Mini Cloud Edges Stencil with Tim Holtz Salty Ocean, Uncharted Mariner, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks to color the background. I splashed some water onto it and dried it off. Then, added some splatters using White and Gold Acrylic paint.

I stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn Fly High stampset and the hearts from the Lawn Fawn Winter Village Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used R81, R83 & R85, R17, R27 & R59, N2, N4 & N5 for the balloons; R17, R27 & R59 for the hearts; R20, E23 & 27 for the mouse; and R20, C0, C1 & C3 for the elephant.

I stamped a sentiment using Lawn Fawn’s Milo’s ABCs onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then cut them down. I added a piece of pattern paper behind the words from the Catherine Pooler Designs Be Mine Prints 6 x 6 Patterned Paper.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Happy HappyHappy Add-on with Catherine Pooler Designs Rockin’ Red Ink.

I have been an avid crafter for two decades and started card making about fifteen years ago and just fell in love. It started as something to reduce stress but now it’s something I can’t live without. It’s so much fun to play with ink and paper and end up with something pretty cool that you can share with someone else. I love the fact that something that brings me so much joy can bring happiness to others too.
i am a wife and mother to two sweet fur babies, Cola and Bailey, that love to hang around while I craft. They bring me just as much joy as crafting. I couldn’t imagine my life without either!
