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

kittieslovecrafting

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.

Dimensions

  • Card Base = 5-1/2 x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″

Tombstone Shaker Halloween Card feat. Simply Made Crafts

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s a quick Halloween shaker card featuring Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting collection products. In case you are not familiar with this company, it is the creation of Helen Griffin from the UK. Go check out her blog. She has lots of cool dies and stamps.

For this card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base, a piece of pattern paper from the Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting Digital Papers to 4 x 5-1/4 and another to 1-1/4 x 4″.

I glued those two pieces of pattern paper together and die cut a window using the largest tombstone in the Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting Spell Book Elements Die Set. I backed it with a piece of acetate scut to a litlle bit smaller than 4 x 5-1/4. Then added foam tape to the back. I used a variety of green, purple, black and orange sequins from my stash. And backed it with a piece of Doodlebug Happy Haunting 12 x 12 Petite Print Paper (discontinued).

To the front panel, I added some decorations by die cutting the ornate corner embellishments from the Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting Spell Book Elements Die Set from green metallic cardstock from the Tim Holtz idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock and an orange spider using the same carstock pack. For the sentiment I used one of the large spider web sentiments from the Simply Made Crafts A5 Ephemera Pack Spooky Specials Halloween Spooky Webs. I love these sentiment diescuts because they really create a great focal point.

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″, added a strip of Doodlebug Happy Haunting 12 x 12 Petite Print Paper (discontinued) to 1-1/4 x 4″ and a piece of Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting Digital Papers to 1 x 4-1/4″. I added a white web and black metallic spider die cut from the Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting Spell Book Elements Die Set.

Fall Card Series #5: Window Card feat. Catherine Pooler Appley Ever After

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. The next post in my Fall card series features a window card using the coordinating dies from the Catherine Pooler’s Appley Ever After stampset. This was a very easy card to make. To add texture to the background I added an embossed panel behind it (more on this later in the post).

For the first 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 a card base and another piece 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ which I embossed using the Catherine Pooler Designs Woven Coverplate (see your embossing machines instructions for proper sandwich).

I cut a piece of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 2-1/4 x 5-1/2″ and cut out three apple windows using the dies from the Appley Ever After Dies. I cut 2 pieces of red metallic cardstock from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock to 3/4 x 5-1/2″.

Then stamped a sentiment and two apples onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ from the Catherine Pooler Designs Appley Ever After Stamp Set with Midnight, Samba, It’s a Girl, Over Coffee, and Deck the Halls Inks. I added Foam Tape behind the top panel and adhered the apples and sentiment behind it before adhereing to the card base.

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the CP Joyful Thanks Sentiments Stamp Set with Samba Ink and added a strip of pattern paper measuring 1 x 5-1/2″.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. The second card in my series is a really cute but simple card using the Catherine Pooler Designs Appley Ever After Stamp Set. There is no coloring required with these images so creating cards is a breeze!

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 a card base and a piece of Catherine Pooler Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 4 x 5-1/4″.

I die cut the frame from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock using the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames Dies. I also die cut the inside piece from the frames from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″.

For the images, I die cut the basket from Stampin! Up! Early Espresso 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock using the CP Bushel Basket Die, embossed it with the Stampin’ Up! Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder (retired) and inked it with Stampin! Up! Early Espresso Ink. I used a piece of Lawn Fawn Paper Bag 100lb Cardstock to back the basket.

I stamped several of the apples from the Catherine Pooler Designs Appley Ever After Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with It’s a Girl, Samba, Sauna, Wintergreen, and Deck the Halls. 

I finished off the card by adding some Orange Marmalade Nuvo Jewel Drops.

On the inside of the card I added a piece of the same pattern paper measuring 1 x 5-1/2″ and added an apple.
