A Berry Sweet Valentine featuring Lawn Fawn’s Sweet Strawberry and Scripty Love Dies

Hello friends. If you need a quick and simple card for this Valentine’s Day, check out this card! I combined the Lawn Fawn’s Sweet Strawberry and Scripty Love Dies to create this sweet card. Even with the coloring it didn’t take long to make.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base. Then die cut the backdrop from Martha Stewart Holidays (Valentine’s Themed) 12 x 12 Cardstock (no longer available) with the Catherine Pooler Designs Dots & Scallops Dies, which measures 3-15/16 x 5-1/4″.

I die cut the doily from some pink cardstock (Scrapbook.com 6 x 8 Glossy Cardstock Paper Pad – Pastel & Rainbow). I stamped three strawberries (saved one for later) from the Lawn Fawn Sweet Strawberry stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Ink. I used Copic Markers to color the images. I used R81, R85 and R29, E25, E29 and E49, and YG01 and YG17. I added highlights with a white gel pen.

For the sentiment I stamped part of it from Lawn Fawn Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Love onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Ink. And then die cut the word ‘love’ from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Scripty Love and the shadow/outline from red metallic cardstock from Tim Holtz idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock using the Lawn Fawn Scripty Love Outline Add-on die.

On the inside of the card blank, I cut a strip of cardstock (same as the front panel) to 1 x 4-1/4″ and added the third strawberry I had colored.

Creating a Background Using the New Lawn Fawn Sweet Strawberry Stencil

Hello friends. I’m starting my Valentine’s Day card series with a cute but simple card using new Lawn Fawn Sweet Strawberry stamp and coordinating stencil. The stencil made building my background so much faster than coloring with markers. I love my Copic markers but sometimes it’s nice not to have to color.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base. I cut another piece to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I stamped the strawberries from the Lawn Fawn Sweet Strawberry stampset onto the back panel with Memento Tuxedo Ink and then used the coordinating stencil to color the images. I used Tim Holtz Candied Apple Distress Oxides Ink for the strawberry, and Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn and Ground Espresso Distress Oxides Ink.

I die cut the frames from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Frame and added a piece of vellum behind the largest frame measuring 3 x 4-1/4″.

I stamped 2 more strawberries from the Lawn Fawn Sweet Strawberry stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Ink and then used the coordinating stencil to color the images as well the coodinating dies to cut them out.

I die cut the sentiment from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Scripty Love and the shadow/outline from red metallic cardstock from Tim Holtz idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock using the Lawn Fawn Scripty Love Outline Add-on die.

I adhered the strawberries with some Stampin’ up! Dimensionals and added some shimmer with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen and some highlights with a white gel pen.

On the inside of the card I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and stamped part of the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment – Winter and Lawn Fawn Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment – Love using CP Lime Rickey. Then die cut the word ‘Berry’ from Stampin’ Up! Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn – Henry’s ABCs.
