Hey friends, it’s Christy with another card for our Lots of Heart Challenge!

For this one, I started by stamping out the mice and envelopes from You Autumn Know and Love Letters in Jet Black Ink. I colored them with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

Then I wanted to create a background that resembled an air mail envelope. I started with a Blue Jay card base. Then I die cut the Peppermint Stripes Backdrop out of Specked Eggshell and Chili Pepper cardstocks. I used glue to attach the Speckled Eggshell frame to the Blue Jay card base and then filled in the stripes with Chili Pepper.

For the focal panel, I wanted something that resembled a postage stamp, so I die cut more Speckled Eggshell cardstock with the Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables. I stamped a sentiment at the top right in Deep Sea ink and adhered my images with liquid glue. I popped that up on the card with foam tape. As a finishing touch, I stamped a few tiny hearts in Bubblegum ink and added a bit of Star Dust Stickles to the heart seals and stamp on the envelopes.

If you’d like to see how this card came together, you can check out the video tutorial as part of my Valentine Card Series on my YouTube Channel, Christy Gets Crafty. If you haven’t yet entered our Lots of Heart Challenge, there is still another week! We can’t wait to see what projects you’ll come up with!

Samantha’s Cute Sloth Valentine

Samantha is with us today with inspiration that’s adorable and full of heart!

Samantha chose our cute sloths from I Like Naps and Hang in There to star in her beautiful design! She colored them with Zig Clean Color Brush markers and fussy cut them out.

For the heart she used an Outside In Stitched Heart which she inked then stenciled with the Starry Sky Stencil. After layering the sloths on the heart, she added it to a panel stamped with Woodgrain Backdrops. She finished the card with a white embossed sentiment from I Like Naps!

Thanks so much for sharing with us today, Samantha!

Jessica’s Glittery Heart-Shaped Cookie Card

We invite you to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects on the Lots of Heart Challenge post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will run for 3 weeks and be open until Sunday, February 6th at 11:59PM ET.



Good morning!  Jess here with a card for our current Lots of Heart challenge!  I was inspired by that little silver cookie cutter and sprinkles to think outside the box and create a cookie card!

To start I stamped the heart-shaped pizza from Pizza My Heart, the icing bag from Baked with Love, and the love word from Scripty Bubble Sentiments with Versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I colored the pizza to resemble a giant sugar cookie using Copic markers in E30, E31, E33, E35, R00, R20, and R21.  I used the same pinks for the scripty word and the icing bag.  I also used cool grey Copic markers to add a little shading to the bag.  Then I die-cut them all with the coordinating dies.

I also stamped part of a sentiment from Wavy Sayings but I curved it on my acrylic block so it would be straight instead of wavy.  I trimmed that to a thin label.  Then I die-cut an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Quilted Heart Backdrop: Portrait.  I added a stitched rectangle “napkin” die-cut from the retired Hello Sunshine Remix paper pad and then adhered my cookie, sentiments, and icing bag on top.  I positioned the bag so it would appear that the scripty love was created using icing.

Finally I added a thin layer of nuvo crystal glaze all over the cookie, icing, and sentiment and sprinkled Chunky and Prisma glitter over the cookie and love word to finish the card!

And that’s it!  You two more weeks to get crafty and I can’t wait to see how Lots of Heart inspires you!!  Thanks so much for stopping by and have an amazing weekend! –Jess
