Hearts Galore

Good Morning!

A few more Valentine cards to share with you!  The 1st one will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, Young At Heart.

 

This card only measures 4.25 x 4.25 inches.  I think it will be perfect on a sweet box of chocolates!  I used the Spellbinders dies; Labels 8 and Hearts.  Designer Paper by Pebbles, Garden Party.  

 

 

 

Penny Black Heart String die (this one has been getting a real workout lately).  Love Birds embossed on my Heart die cut, topped with a lone Adhesive Rhinestone.  Sentiment by Papertrey Ink, Love And Marriage.  XOXO by Simon Says Stamp, Labeled With Love.  Inks in  Black Licorice and Rose Red.

 

 



Wood Grain, Chevrons  and Swiss Dots Embossing Folders.   Spellbinders Hearts dies.  Impression Obsession Looped Hearts border die.  Stampin' Up! Sealed With Love stamp set and  Love Notes Arrow dies which have been Gold Foiled.  Inside stamped with True Love (looped hearts) by Gina K Designs.  Ink in Night Of Navy.

 

Papertrey Ink Quart Jar die.  Penny Black, Heart String and Border Edges dies.  Doily.  Ink in Real Red.  (made this last week and have totally forgotten what heart stamp that is, oopsie!)

 

Pretty flat cards, I might get away with no added postage.

 

Thanks for buzzing by!

 

Enjoy~~



Valentine Cards

Back again with some Valentine cards to share with you!

This first one will be entered into the Challenges at Memory Box, It's All About Love, Clean And Simple, Simon Says Monday, Young At Heart, and Simon Says Wednesday, The Color Of Love. 

I was on a Valentine card making kick, but I was trying to make all easy, flat, mailable cards. 

 

Papertrey Ink tree stamp, Through The Trees. Sentiment by Simon Says Stamp, Labeled With Love.  Ink in Black Licorice.  Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Blush spritzed all over, which gives a little bit of sparkle and shine.

 

 

White Marker to create snowy background, as well as a swipe from a White Frost ink pad.  Heart die by Memory Box, Homespun Heart.  I need to glue down the tail as you can see the shadow in this photo.  

 

 

Two additional CAS (and almost flat) cards.  Spellbinders Hearts dies, cut through base card stock and Designer Paper and then layered together on the inside, topped with a heart button.  Impression Obsession Looped Heart die.  Papertrey Ink Swoosh die and stamp set.  Inside sentiment stamped in Real Red ink by Simon Says, Labeled With Love.

 

Thanks for popping in, LOVE it when you do!

 

Enjoy~~



From The Heart Challenge

I'm Hosting the Challenge over at The Mod Squad, FROM THE HEART

The challenge this week...is to make a card that incorporates.....you guessed it.....HEARTS.

This Weeks Sponsor is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

All the stamps and Fri-Dies are designed by Michele , and are based on her love for Clean And Simple design, hence the CAS in CAS-ual. However, they will delight any stamper's style! Whether you are a CAS enthusiast or a lover of Utterly Adorable Layers, you will have a blast getting inky with them. 

The stamps are made in the USA of the finest clear photopolymer, and the coordinating line of wafer thin dies are also made in the USA.

  2 Prizes Up For Grabs!

2 - $15 Gift Certificate each to the STORE



 

I used the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps,  3 In A Row and matching dies, Tic-Tac-Toe.  Grabbing my Minc Foiling Machine, I added some pretty Gold Foil to my die cut hearts.  Stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Ink. 

 

 

Finished off the inside with a second sentiment and a pretty little heart. 

 

 

 

I used the same CAS-ual Fridays Stamps for a different look.  Stamping sentiments, 'nuff said and xoxo while using heart die cut outs in many different Designer Papers.  I first drew 3 straight lines using a Sakura Silver Glitter pen so I could line my hearts up adding Adhesive Pearls for accents.

 



A few hours left to play.....Challenge ends at noon on Tuesday!
