Valentines - Right as Rain

Lawn Fawn Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a Valentine created with a variety of Lawn Fawn products including the Mom + Me stamp set. I’ve had a lot of fun digging out various supplies to create more non-traditional, less formal Valentines.

I stamped the owl and tree stump from the Mom + Me set, colored the images with Copic markers and colored pencils, and cut the images with their coordinating dies.
I cut the card base with the largest die in the Outside In Stitched Scallop Square Stacklets set.
I cut a 4″ square with the Lawn Fawn Dotted Square die set and embossed it with the Woodgrain Backdrop die.
I cut a heart from patterned paper.
I stamped the Mom + Me sentiment and cut it with a banner die in the Extra Sentiments set.
I cut small hearts using dies in the Wonderful Window and the Speech Bubbles sets for accents.

Penny Black – Die-cut Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a die-cut Valentine combining several die sets from Penny Black .

I cut the pieces of the #51-501 Hanging Planters from colored cardstock and cardstock to which I had applied Distress Inks.
I cut the XOXO sentiment with a die in the #51-294 Filled with Love set from red cardstock.
I cut the hearts with dies in the #51-090 Little Ornaments and the #51-281 What’s in Your Cup? sets. (Finding these little hearts was a happy discovery.)
I cut the yellow frame with the square frame in the #51-422 Stitched Square and Circles set and a circle die.
I sponged Tumbled Glass ink on to white cardstock and added the panel to the back of the frame.
I added the assembled planters, tucking the tops of the macrame hangers under the frame.
I adhered the sentiment with foam adhesive.

Paper Smooches – February LOVE Challenge

Hello! Today I am sharing a card which I’m entering into the Paper Smooches LOVE Challenge.

I’m going to start with what I like most about this card – it expresses love without being a traditional, romantic Valentine.
With the Paper Smooches Coffee & Tea die set, I die-cut the tea pot, tea bag, cups, and snowflakes. For the teapot, I cut the pot twice, the second time trimming off the bottom part to make the lid.
I stamped the Winter Sampler sentiment and blended the sky by masking off the lower area. I applied the ink from the top.
I embellished with snowflakes cut with the Snowflakes die set.
This card is 4″ square. I wanted the elements to be close together to feel cozy and warm.

Penny Black Birdhouse Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine card created with Penny Black supplies, both old and new.

I die-cut the #51-503 Rustic Birdhouse die and assembled it. I really like the woodgrain that the die creates.
I die-cut the birds using the #51-094 Tweets and #51-050 Tweet Things sets. I backed the birds with cardstock from behind.
I applied Distress Ink to the background and stamped the #30-667 Love Language sentiment in the corner.
I added the birdhouse to the base and added the birds with foam adhesive.

Supplies:

Spellbinders Walrus Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a Valentine that showcases Woliver, a walrus die set from Spellbinders.

I cut Woliver and the iceberg from cardstock and assembled the items.
I cut the heart from patterned paper and added it to a patterned paper base.
I heat-embossed the Fun Stampers Journey “Sending My Love” sentiment on black cardstock.
I added hearts cut with a die in the Festive Wreaths set to fill the space.

Hope your week is off to a terrific start!
