Lawn Fawn Be My Valentine Bears

Welcome back and Nancy, here.  I am excited to share with you my Valentines card made with the new arrival of the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Slimline With Hearts-Landscape die set with the Lawn Fawn Let It Shine Paper.  The Lawn Fawn Scalloped Slimline With Hearts is also available in the Portrait version.  This set is great for creating slimline cards with a stitched scalloped border. The rectangular die with heart openings is great for making a shaker cards as well! 

My card measure 3 1/2" x 9" using the other side of the Lawn Fawn Let It Shine red paper which is the red and white stripe cardstock.  The Lawn Fawn Scalloped Heart die set solid scallop background measures 3" x 8"  and the center stitched heart die set  measures 2 1/2" x 7 1/2".  I added the NUVO Clear Gloss to the hearts and let dry over night.  I cut out the Lawn Fawn Be My Valentine border die with gold metallic cardstock and used Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue for adhere my card.  I added the Baker Pink twine on the side of the card.  

I am loving the new Lawn Fawn Let It Shine Paper pad this year for my Christmas and Valentine cards. I love the shining speckles of foil snowfalls in the polka dots side of the paper in each of the colors.  I used the red cardstock in this paper collection for this card.

 

Lawn Fawn Snow Much Fun stamp set was used for this card.  Pair the Lawn Fawn Snow Much Fun fun with Lawn Fawn Den Stamp set to add more bears to your scene!  I used Copic Markers to color the bears.  I stamped and cut out the one bear and then used scissors around his arm to fit him inside the heart.  

 Have a fabulous crafting day and thanks for visiting.

Lawn Fawn Let It Shine Collection

The card measures 4 3/4" x 6 3/4".

Inside white cardstock with bears measure 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" with solid mint 3 3/4" x 5 3/4"

Strip measures 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 with solid mint 4 5/8" x 6 5/8"

The Rubber Buggy also has many gorgeous colored embossing powders available. I embossed the snowflakes  using a mint pigment ink, sprinkled clear embossing powder and then used a embossing gun.  Another method is to use the stamp tool and stamp the snowflake with mint colored ink and restamp it again with embossing ink.  I added a snow flake die cut with the Lawn Fawn Let It Shine mink colored speckled paper with the Prima Marketing Melange Sugar Art Pebble to the center of the snowflake.  

For the final touch, I added the NUVO White Blizzard glitter drops to the snow for that added touch of shimmer of snow. 

The card was adhered with the Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue. 

 Have a fabulous crafting day and thanks for visiting.

Graphic 45 Valentine Card

Nancy, here, and I’m so excited you’re here.  Today I am sharing a Z Fold card using a the Graphic 45 Fashion Forward February paper available in the Graphic 45 Fashion Forward paper pad or Graphic 45 Fashion Forward February cardstock.  I just love the greetings found in each month of this gorgeous collection of vintage fashionable ladies and the beautiful vivid colors of flowers for each month of the year.  

Fancy-fold cards are always show-stopping cards that will be proudly displayed and a keeper and a Z fold card is an incredibly easy fancy fold card to create. The Z Fold Cards can be formed using just one sheet of plain colored cardstock with one patterned cardstock and a scoreboard with a bone tool and scissors. I have created this z-fold card tutorial so you can add this to your portfolio of cardmaking techniques and new creativity to try out.  Like all the best folds, these cards fold flat to fit into a standard sized envelope. What's not to love?!

Here are the measurements of all the pieces :

Black Cardstock

• cut at 5 1/2″ x 11″  Score at 3 1/4" and 5 1/2"
• cut at  1 1/4" x 11"

Graphic 45 Fashion Forward-February designer paper on Flower side

• cut at 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″
• cut 2 1/3″ x  5 1/4″
• cut at 3″ x 5 1/4″

Strips 

• Black Cardstock cut at 1 1/4" x 11  
• Graphic 45 Fashion Forward-February Designer paper cut each strip and glue together at 1 1/8" x 11" and glue to black cardstock strip
• Score at 5 1/2" and 7 3/4"  I added the sentiment from the designer paper to each end of the strip and along the side of the image.  
  

I cut out the different patterns and glued on black cardstock.  I took my scissors to cut out  a very small black frame since I wasn't sure if I could do this on my cutter with this thin frame.  

I added lace behind my front image and used Nuvo Clear Glitter Glue around her dress as well as though out the card after the card was almost finalized and let dry. I added a handmade bow with a rhinestone heart and used Wild Orchid Craft flowers and a feather behind the pink seam binding bow and in the center of the bow.  I added the feather and then the Wild Orchid Craft flowers to the other side.  

The gold hearts were made using the Graphic 45 Staples Folder & Sentiment heart dies and gold metallic cardstock.  

The card was adhered with the Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue. 

 Have a fabulous crafting day and thanks for visiting.

My granddaughter who got married in August just announced that she is now pregnant and may be having their baby around my birthday in September.  We will now be great grandparents-WOW!

I added the Wild Orchid mulberry flowers with the pearls and always ribbons on most of my cards.  .  I used a hot glue gun to made my lace bow this time and added a Wild Orchid Craft 10mm rose in the center.  I added a Tim Holtz Gum Drop heart to the top corner of the card and colored it with a pink Copic Marker after adhering to the card with Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced glue.

I added a frame around the image using the  Graphic 45 Fashion Forward Pattern and Solid Paper and die cut out the Congratulations in gold and black cardstock.  I adhered the gold on top of the black die cut to add dimension.

I typed out the sentiment and used the Graphic 45 Fashion Forward left over pieces around the sentiment.  I stamped the little angel from an ole Penny Black stamp from The Rubber Buggy and colored the baby with Copic Markers.  I cut the angel using my new Brothers Scan and Cut 125 machine which does a great job in cutting many of my stamp images like this one.
