Fancy Pants Love Story Cards

Hello crafty friends,
Melin of MyPaperCrafting.com here with you for another fun project.  Today I used some super cute fancy pants Love story papers and some great dies. Here is what I came up with.
Here is my first card. I started with a kraft cardstock base and then layered some of the Fancy Pants papers. I used the pretty Die Versions Love Doily Whispers Die.



I used the Quickutz 2x2 Flower for the centers. I used white cardstock for the flower centers and then I used my BG000 to color it and then the BG00 for the outer edges. The cute Be my Valentine tag is also in the Fancy Pants paper set. I adhered it with a cute little Queen and Company brad that I have had in my stash for quite some time. I finished it off with a cute little polka dot pink bow.




Here is my second card. I again used the kraft cardstock base and some more of the Fancy Pants Love Story papers.

I again used the Love Doily Whispers die as well as the Quickutz 2x2 heart die. I also used a tiny Quickutz flower die. I attached it with a tiny Queen and Company brad. I placed some tiny Queen and Company gems on the doily.

Both of the sentiment tags are in the Fancy Pants Love Story set. These cards came together very quick and easy.

Here’s a look at the front of my card. I used some papers from the DCWV Halloween and Fall Stack. I used the latte cup digi image from PCW and colored it in with my Copics. The photo corners are from the Christmas Blessings cut files set and the decorative element behind the cup is from the Deco Elements 1213 cut file set.

Here is a closer look at the two squirrels holding their hearts…ready to give their little hearts away to each other. I used some Chocolate ink from the basics ink pad set 
to ink around the brown pieces of the bodies. I used some Saddle ink from the basic ink pad set to ink around the tan body parts. I used the blush ink from the Whimsy Ink Pad set for the hearts.

I used charcoal ink from the Basics ink pad set for around the red heart. I used the Autumn Terracotta ink from the Enchantment ink pad set to ink around the edges of the peanuts.

Here is a closer look at some of the peanuts at the bottom of the mat. I also used some foam adhesive to give some of the peanuts a little lift.

Here is a closer look at the little squirrel topper. I used some dry decorator chalk to give their faces the finishing touches. I used the chalk marker to give their eyes and noses their shine marks as well as the hearts.

Sweet Girl Cameo Block Party Layout

Hello crafty friends,
So glad you could stop by. Today is my turn to share a project for the Scrapyland DT. I decided once again to use my Silhouette Cameo and the Block Party Digital Design Portfolio to create this layout.

Here is a view of the entire layout.

I used some of the pretty paper from the Die Cuts With A View DCWV Sweet Stack. This is definitely one of their classic, fabulous go to stacks.  I also used the Block Party Digital Design Portfolio for all the die cuts as well as the matching titles. I used one of their cupcake designs to create the borders and the girl title was already one of the pre-made titles.

A closer look at the big cupcakes.  I used some of my pebbles chalks as well as some pigment inks to shade the cupcakes.

Here is a closer look at the cupcake border. I simply used the same cupcake shape and welded them together to create the border.

The layout came from the Die Cuts With A View January Stackaholics Challenge
