Lawn Fawn | Snowman Valentine

If Punxsutawney Phil is right, there will be snowmen for a while longer (Northern Hemisphere). Since I enjoyed playing with the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Snowman die for holiday cards (here and here), I figured I would use the same set for a Valentine combining Lawn Fawn products!

Cut patterned paper with A2-size die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set. (The paper is from an old pad in my stash.) Add to card base.
Stamp Simply Celebrate Hearts sentiment (a new set from Lawn Fawn) in navy ink on white cardstock. To create the snowbank, cut with the A2-size die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set and then with a die in the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders set. Add to card background.
Cut snowman with Build-A-Snowman from flocked white, Light Brown Woodgrain, Black Licorice, orange, and patterned paper. Assemble and add to card background.
Use heart dies in the Speech Bubbles set to cut hearts from silver, navy, and red cardstock. (The Build-A-Snowman set includes a smaller heart; for the banner, I preferred this size and shape.) Adhere hearts to red-and-white twine. Position strand of hearts in the hands of the snowman; secure with glue.

Spellbinders | February 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit

Hello! I am sharing spring-themed cards created with the Spellbinders February 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit of the Month. The “Spring Delight” kit includes a 6×6 paper pad, die cut shapes, sticker sentiments, embellishments, card bases, and more!

In addition to the kit contents, I used circles and rectangles on two of the cards to help frame the focal pieces. For the cards with sticker sentiments, I added a strip of cardstock to the sticker before adding the sentiments to the cards with foam adhesive. Additionally, I found that mixing the flat die-cut pieces and chipboard pieces brought more dimension to the cards.
