Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day crafty friends,

Hope you are enjoying sharing a day filled with love for those whom you love! Or at least enjoying time doing what you love.   I wanted to share one last Valentine’s day project with you. As I think about love, I am inevitably reminded of God's love for each and every one of us. I hope you will feel the love of our heavenly Father today and each day. So now for my card.

Here’s a look at my completed card. The finished size is 5 x 6.5. I started with a kraft cardstock base. I then used some white cardstock for a mat. I created the heart and banner cuts in my Pazzles software and used my Pazzles Inspiration Vue to cut them out. I created them in SVG format.

Card Hearts  Banner Cut File Set

Formats: AI, EPS, KNK, MTC, SCAL, SVG, STUDIO and WPC Sorry no GSD or DXF

Next, I used another piece of white cardstock and then used one of the stamps from the distressed backgrounds along with my Hollyhock ink to stamp the background.

Next, I used my Cranberry Ink pad and one of the stamps from this month’s Stamp of the month set, A Happy Hello

Next, I took another piece of white cardstock and my black ink pad and one of the stamps from the flight of the arrows stamp set to create this next layer.

I then used some white cardstock to cut out the scalloped banner and heart layers. I used some more kraft cardstock for the top layer of the banner with the heart and dots cut out along with the top heart layer. I used the ruler and piercing tool and the journaling pen and created the faux stitched border on the banner.

I used the Happy Valentine’s Day Stamp along with my black ink pad for the sentiment. I added some gold sequins and used some foam tape to give the heart a little lift.

For the top, I just cut a piece of gold shimmer trim and black shimmer trim and created the little banners at the top.

Here is one last look at my finished card. It was a lot of fun to put together and came together relatively easily.

Life Is Sweeter Bear Digi & CTMH Stamp Card

Happy Thursday crafty friends,

Hope you are doing well. Today I am sharing another “lovable” card creation. So let’s get right to it.

Here is my finished card. The finished size is 5 x 6.5. I had a kraft cardstock base. I then used a piece of white cardstock and then the yellow dot paper is from the retired Dotty For You paper pack. I then used white cardstock and pink cardstock for mats underneath the digi.  I then turned to my Art Philosophy cartridge and cut out the scalloped circles. I didn’t have a piece of green cardstock so I used my Pear ink pad to ink the smallest scalloped circle.

I used my Copic markers to color the little  Bear with Candy Hearts Digi from  PaperCraftingWorld.com I actually colored this last year and just never got around to putting it on a card.

I then used my new Shin Han Touch Twin Markers to color in the small gems to match the color scheme. I used my leaf green marker, tender pink marker, and lavender marker.

Here’s a closer look at my bow. I used some pretty pink with white polka dot grosgrain ribbon from MayArts.com Ribbons.

Here is one last look at my completed card. Sweet, clean and simple.
