Grace’s Happy Mail Valentine Card

Grace created a delightful Valentine card featuring our Happy Mail mailbox and the cute Garden Snail! Such a fun way to send some love for Valentine’s Day!


Grace did some beautiful stenciling, using Plaid Stencils on a Stitched Rectangle, then adding Falling Hearts to another panel. She framed her little garden scene with the negative piece of a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Window. It looks like a postage stamp!


Next, Grace die cut the Happy Mail mailbox and the Garden Snail from 110lb white cardstock before using Lawn Fawn ink to add the color. She arranged the cute scene, then stamped her sentiment from Special Delivery on the background. She also stamped a tiny message from Scent with Love on a note from Little Letter.


The Garden Snail looks so adorable in Grace’s happy mail garden scene!

Thank you so much for this wonderful inspiration, Grace! Such a clever Valentine!

Lawn Fawn Video {4.25.24} Mindy’s Cute Garden Snail Slider Card


Mindy is here to inspire us with an adorable slider card featuring Garden Snail! You can watch the video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.


Thank you so much for watching!


Mindy shows us how she cut the Garden Snail pieces from white cardstock before coloring them with ink blending. I love the cute, dotted detail she added to the snail. Then she paper-pieced the snail and grass in a black outline with the help of double-sided adhesive sheets.


For the background, Mindy started with Mermaid cardstock, stenciling the Cloud Background with Merman ink. She also inked a panel for the ground with Distress Oxide in Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs. Then she included clouds from All the Clouds and a little All the Speech Bubbles greeting!

She had a little trouble with the slider in the video and suggests that watching the Intro to Slide on Over would be helpful. Here’s a slider tip: if using 3 layers of foam on the slider piece, you will also need 3 layers of foam to attach the card front to the base. And another tip: using a bit of anti-static powder on the edges of the foam on the slider piece will cut down on any stickiness.

Such a fun and happy way to send a smile! Thank you so much for sharing with us, Mindy!

Franci’s Garden Snail Card with a Surprise

Franci created a simply adorable card featuring Garden Snail and Heart Garden Stencil! She added a fun surprise to let you take this little snail off the card!


Franci’s simple design starts with Heart Garden Stencil and some pretty Distress ink colors! She used Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Rustic Wilderness, Tumbled Glass and Spiced Marmalade. In addition to stenciling the card, she also stenciled a matching envelope!


She paper-pieced the Garden Snail, adding rosy cheeks and a little heart. She used cardstock in Paper Bag, Guava, Vanilla Malt and Black Licorice. Then she cut a slit in the stenciled card front and attached it to a Scalloped Rectangle with foam tape.


Next, Franci glued a mini clothespin to the back of her snail and popped it into the slit on the card! Surprise! Now the Garden Snail can hold your place in a book or click together important papers. Maybe clip it on the ribbon a gift package to hold the card or tag. What ideas do you have for using Franci’s clip-able Garden Snail! Let us know in the comments below.

Thank you for sharing this cute and clever card idea with us, Franci!
