Lawn Fawn Hedgehog Valentine - Be Mine!

Hello there my sweet crafty friends! Happy Friday to you! We don't have anything planned for the weekend (of course)...but the sun is shining and we're all still healthy and creative here. It's almost Valentine's Day and I have so many ideas this year. I'm pretty sure I won't get to all of them, but I'm going to try to share some fun projects with you. Cards and treats, and stitching and who knows what else!? How are you? I hope you are doing well. I thank you for spending a little of your time here with me on the blog...

Today's card was actually going to be a Christmas card - but I didn't get to it... So I made it a Valentine. And, you know what, I think I like it better!  My inspiration for this card is later on in the post. I love to share what inspires my cards with you! Today's card is made with cute supplies from Lawn Fawn. No stamping! Just die cuts. And one adorable hedgie. The finished card is an A2 sized card base. 

The blue layer was made using one of my favorite crafting tools of all time - this quilted background. I affixed it right to the front of the folded cream card base. As you know, I LOVE using red and baby blue and pink together. Here's the finished card....

 

I used the new stitched mug die to create that big old red coffee mug! I used a bit of the new patterned paper to add a border at the top of the mug. I die cut out all the hedgehog pieces and inked everything with Distress Inks. Then I die cut the be mine, the heart and the arrow.... You get the picture - lots of die cutting! I needed something along the bottom of the card so I got the idea to add the #feb14 in the Oliver's alphabet dies... The fun part of this card was assembling it!

 

There's a lot of foam tape, foam dots and foam strips on this card! Here's a side view so you can see how everything is layered onto the card. I added the white accents and stars using a white gel pen.

 

I used the frosting die from the Stitched Cupcake set to make a little plop of whip cream! Doesn't it look like he's popping out of that mug with the whip cream sticking to his head? Oh gosh, this makes me smile!! I added a marshmallow and a little red heart on top, and some glitter glue. This hedgehog is meant to go with the Tiny Treat Box. I put his little tiny hands over the top of the mug.

 

Here's a close up of that pretty background die...

 

And a close up of his hat! LOLZ.

 

 

 

 

 

I took this picture with my phone when we were out shopping at Target during Christmas! I thought this was the cutest set of Christmas cards and I knew it would inspire me to make a card too. I thought that would be a winter card, but turns out not! Ha. Better late than never!

 

 

I made this cute little bumble bee treat box at the same time - since I had out all my Lawn Fawn Supplies... I plan to make a whole bunch of these for Valentine Treats - but in case I don't get to it, here's this guy to make you smile! Yes, that camellia is from our front yard - we have flowers already! And about 400 bulbs are sprouting. It's going to look like Holland over here in about a month!

Thanks for stopping by today for a little chat and some crafty fun. I hope you have a really nice weekend. Sending you a big hug from my craft room to yours. Be well friends. XOXO
