Love

Hi everyone!  Joy here today showing a card made with supplies from the Classy Cards 'n Such online store.  The pretty background script paper is from Key to My Heart 6.5" x 6.5" paper pad.  

The sweet little love sentiment is from the Key to My Heart paper and is one of the many sentiment die cuts - there are 4 pages of them!  That's enough to make enough Valentine's for a whole classroom.  The sentiment die cut was popped up using Small Joy Pads.  The flowers were attached using Art Institute Clear Adhesive.  The heart background was sponged on using a Mini Ink Blending Tool.

Thanks for looking at my card.  Have a Happy Stamping Day.

Raining Love

Continuing with this week's challenge at CCNS, I made another red and white card with hearts.  I taped white card stock trimmed with the largest Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A to the Memory Box Heart Confetti Stencil. Then I used the paste spreader for quick work with the Dreamweaver's white embossing paste. While it was drying, I stamped the I Love You Alphabet by Quietfire Design and trimmed with circle dies. To add to my confetti look, I used the little hearts from the largest die from the Spellbinders Heart Circle set. With the Art Institute glue, I adhered them so that it would look like it was raining hearts.

There's still time to play along!

Let's see your entry to our challenge!!

Next Level Love

Hello! Diana here to share with you a card I made for this week's challenge to use Red, White, Pink, and Hearts. This card is a case from Jennifer McGuire's video on using the We R Memory Keepers Next Level embossing folders. 

 I used Distress colors Fired Brick and Picked Raspberry, We R Memory Keepers Bouquet embossing folder, Quietfire Design Love die, Perfect Pearls Biscotti, and Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A. Per her instructions, I masked my area off, sponged the colors on generously and then buffed on the perfect pearls. I then ran it through my Big Shot with the embossing folder. The red and pink changed their hues a bit after I added the perfect pearls and they really do look metallic. To adhere the gorgeous Love die cut, I recommend using a glue like Art Institute glue since it has a nice fine tip.

I hope you enjoyed my card!

Beautiful Valentine

Hi, it is Shirley here today with a card for the brand new challenge here at Classy Cards 'n Such. We are to make card with red/ white or pink/ white hearts. I decided on using red and white hearts plus I added in a little silver. Let's get started on my card.

I started by using a white glossy c ard stock.  I added a layer of red foil card stock.  I used a die to cut the lacey edge using more of the white glossy card stock and added another layer of red foil card stock.  I used Spellbinders Vines of Passion heart die to cut the white heart, but you could easily use the Memory Box LaRue Heart, as well.  I popped it up on the red foil card stock using Joy Foam Pads Small.   The silver heart and vine was cut using the Impression Obsession Heart Flourish die.   I cut it in three pieces to place around the white heart.  This die always looks nice on cards.  It seems to give them an elegant look.

I used Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive to adhere all the card pieces together.  I added pearls on two of the corners from Finesse Swirls White Pearls.

I hope you liked my card.  I apologize for the picture of it, it was very hard to get a good photograph of it in my lighting.  Be sure and make your heart card to enter in our challenge.  We love seeing all of your cards.

There have been a lot of other die cuts added to the store closing sale and they are going fast!   Click here for details!

Vintage Valentine

Good Morning, friends. Mindy with you today.  Our challenge this week at Classy Cards 'n Such is using Neutrals for your card or project.  Neutral or natural colors are usually considered earth tone colors. Using this monotone color palette is so much fun, and really makes for a classy looking card. I hope you enjoy this beautiful card suitable for weddings, birthdays and even Valentine's Day!

I think my card looks vintage with the white and off white shades of card stock I used for the layers and dies. I used four different heart shaped dies for the Valentine theme of my card. 

I used:

Heart Flourish by Impression Obsession,

Heart of Hearts  by Impression Obsession,

Conversation Heart Block by Impression Obsession, and

Love You Heart by Impression Obsession.

Using the darker beige card stock I cut the Heart of Hearts die, and let the light beige stock of my card base show through.  All of the little innies pieces were saved for additional add-ons later.  I then cut the Heart Flourish and Love You Heart dies and adhered them over the top of the background to cover the front of the card.  I used my favorite clear glue, Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive, to adhere the many layers of die-cuts and tiny heart shapes, then added foam tape to the background stock to give the card dimension. A heart shaped pearl button was attached to the center of the Heart Flourish to finish the card.

I hope you have enjoyed this card.  It shows that with just a few dies, a few different shades of card stock, and an embellishment or two, you can make a classy card look elegant and festive.

Button Bouquet

Button, button. . . . Whose got the button? We do!  The theme for this weeks challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such is Buttons, all shapes and colors.  Mindy here, and when I saw this weeks inspiration photo on the calendar page, I wanted to make a flower arrangement from buttons.

I started by assembling several layers and colors of buttons suitable for my card. I die cut the Lattice background from card stock and one from craft foam, to build it up and give the card dimension. I embossed a background card with the Mini Fans Embossing Folder by Craft's Too and adhered the lattice oval to the background with Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive. I then die cut the Bamboo Shoots die and adhered it before adding my button flowers to the arrangement.  Two Medium Butterflies from Impression Obsessions were added with button bodies, and a twine bow as added for a bit of sparkle.  A birthday sentiment completed the card.

I hope you have been inspired by my card, and will join us in our challenge this week.

Watch for a BIG announcement here later today!

With Love

Hello, it is Shirley posting today.  I have a card to share with you that I made for the Classy Cards 'n Such brand new challenge.  For this challenge we are to use buttons on our cards.  I hope you will come over to play the challenge and show us how you use your buttons.

I started my card with a navy card base and added a gold layer of card stock.  My next step was to cut a white layer and use the Sue Wilson Lyra - Gemini die on the bottom edge of it.

I added gold corners to the top of the card using the Impression Obsession Brick House die set.   I cut the With Love die cut using one of the  Spellbinders Sentiments Three dies.   I then adhered it to the white decorative piece using Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive.

I added some navy blooms and placed faux gold buttons in the centers.  For the final touch to my card, I added pearls.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you are having a great Monday.

A Late Happy New Year

It is Shirley here today.  I am sharing cards that I made to send as belated Happy New Year cards. I think these two will have me caught up.  If you are ready to take a peek, here is the first one.

I started my card with the black card base and added a layer of the Super Gold Metallic card stock.  I took a piece of black card stock and embossed it with the Crafts Too Dots embossing folder.  I never tire of using this embossing folder, I think it always gives a card an elegant look.

I cut my stars with the PoppyStamps Stacked Star die using the gold metallic card stock and silver card stock.  I just received this die and could not wait to use it.  This die can be used for lots of occasions.  I am envisioning it on a 4th of July card and for birthdays.  The letters were made from dies that were in my collection.

I used Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive to adhere the pieces to my card.

One thing I also like about this stacked star die is that by using two colors, I had pieces cut for two cards.  Here is the other card I made with them.

I hope you enjoyed seeing how easy it was to  make two cards with this die.  

Have a wonderful and safe weekend.
