Lawn Fawn - Flippin' Awesome Valentine Card

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back on the Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel & Blog with this super duper adorable Flippin' Awesome card featuring the lovely pandas from I Heart Pandas + Add-On. I hadn't used the Flippin' Awesome die set in a very long time, so I really loved coloring all those cute images and building my interactive panels with them!

As very often, I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Jet Black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers, Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • I Heart Pandas + Add-On - pandas, bamboo, butterflies, rock, ladybug • Toucan Do It - tropical flowers and leaves • Wild Wolves - large rock • A Bug Deal + Hey Lady - ladybugs • Kanga-rrific Add-On - grass • Critters In The Jungle - vine.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Large Stitched Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, masked the stitched edges with washi tape, and first covered the panel with tattered rose oxide ink. Next I added a fun heart pattern using the Layered Hearts Background stencils along with saltwater taffy and worn lipstick oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel. I mixed some worn lipstick oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add pink splatters to the panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I cut four small panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a Flippin' Awesome die. I masked the stitched edges and bottom sections with washi tape, and colored the upper part of each panel with oxide inks. Just like before, I started off with a layer of tattered rose oxide ink, and next I added a beautiful bamboo pattern to each panel using the Bamboo stencils along with saltwater taffy and worn lipstick oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panels and dried them with a paper towel, and I mixed some worn lipstick oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add pink splatters to the panels.

I cut my Flippin' Awesome panel out of Textured Canvas Aqua cardstock, assembled my interactive panel, and attached it at the very bottom of my Layered Hearts Background panel. Please check the video down below to watch the whole assembly process.

I cut a rectangle out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a Flippin' Awesome Add-on die, cut a Stitched Simple Wavy Border out of it, colored that border with cracked pistachio and lucky clover oxide inks, and I attached the border right above my Flippin' Awesome interactive panel using 1mm foam squares. And then I stuck all the images using a combination of 1mm and 2mm foam squares, 3mm glue dots and liquid glue.

For my greeting, I started off by stamping "Have a beary good Valentine's day" from I Heart Pandas on the last Flippin' Awesome panel. I cut the Scripty Xoxo out of Mermaid cardstock, and the Scripty Xoxo outline out of Vellum. I layered those two pieces on top of each other, and stuck my Xoxo, as well as a couple of extra images, on the last panel using liquid glue. I cut the handle decorative pieces out of Textured Canvas Aqua cardstock and Lobster cardstock and attached both pieces on the pull tab, and finished my card with highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.
