Mini Slimline Valentine’s Day Card featuring Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

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.

Hello friends. Want to make an impactful background with little effort. Try using an emboss resist technique. You can stamp or stencil the embossing. Either way the results are impressive!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 6 x 6″ and scored at 3″ to create a card base. I cut a piece of Neenah 80lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 2-1/8 x 5-1/8″ and die cut a scalloped border using Queen & Co Foundation 17 Dies.

I used Tim Holtz Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide Inks to color the background. I sprayed some water on it before adding the snowflakes. Next I used Simon Says Stamp’s Falling Snow Stencil with Versamark Ink and White Embossing Powder to create the snow in the background.

I stamped the images from Stampin’ Up!’s Warm & Toasty Stamp Set (retired) onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers. I used YG03, YG17 & YG67, C1, C3 & C5 for the sleigh; N1, N2 & N4, R20 & R46 for the bunnies; R46 & R32, C1 & C3, YG03 & YG17, R20 for the mice; and R17 & R46, Y06 & Y17 for the ornaments.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy Stampset onto the card with Versamark Ink and White Embossing Powder.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Merry Messages Stamp Set with Stampin’ Up! Real Red Ink and the mice from Stampin’ Up!’s Warm & Toasty Stamp Set (retired) with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. The little mice in the Lawn Fawn You Autumn Know Stampset are so stinking cute that I just had to make this mini slimline card and added some texture to the background by using an older Crafters Companion Embossing Folder.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock to 7 x 6-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/4″ to create the card base. I also diecut a piece of Neenah white cardstock with the Queen and Company Foundation 17 dies.

Then I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi 36 colors Watercolor Paint Set to color the background. I used a red, blue and purple color. Then created some splashes with the Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors Set. I created some texture by using the Crafters Companion Textures Artist Collection Hessian Embossing Folder (retired).

I die cut the grass from Stampin’ Up! Old Olive 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Simple Grassy Hillsides and added some Stampin’ Up! Old Olive Ink.

I stamped the images from Lawn Fawn You Autumn Know Stampset onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y13 & Y18, YR16 & YR27, R17 & R29, YG03 & YG25 for the leaves; and R20, N1, N2, N4 & copic blender for the mice and die cut with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Scripty Autumn Sentiments onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Ink and then Versamark Ink and embossed it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder and die cut with the coordinating die set.

I finished the card by adding some highlights with a White Signo Gel Pen.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn Scripty Autumn Sentiments with Memento Tuxedo Ink and and added an extra leaf.
