From The Heart

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

The challenge this week at Stamps, Ink, Paper Challenge Blog
is CAS Valentines.

 AND

When I first saw the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches 

I thought I will just pass this week..lol!

But I kept thinking about it and thought I'll give it a go
with some hearts to coordinate with the SIP challenge

I first started just stamping some hearts from the Meant to Be
set directly onto whisper white card stock.
 I was not really liking it and twice I smeared some ink....Grrrr!!

Then it hit me, die cut them silly!! 

So glad I did, cos I am really liking the look of these hearts. 

They remind me of the Conversation Candy Hearts.

I stamped the image several times using a variety of colors, I used Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, Lovely Lipstick, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.

 I then die cut them out with one of the dies from the Be Mine Framelits. I love this heart with the ruffles and stitching. 

I laid them out moving and arranging until I was happy 

with them and then attached to my whisper white piece with dimensionals.

 

My sentiment comes from the Petal Palette set.

I stamped with Black Memento ink.

I mated this piece with Flirty Flamingo cardstock and 

glued it directly to my thick whisper white base.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Valentine's Day

 

Happy Saturday Peeps!! 

Over at Just Us Girls Challenge Blog it is word week and the word is Love.

I made another Valentine card, I used my other Valentine Card seen here 

as the inspiration for this card.

I started with a white card base of thick whisper white.

I then used a layer of Lovely Lipstick card stock and then another piece of white that I embossed with the corrugated EF.

 

I die cut several pieces using the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. I used Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick card stock and the DSP is from the All My Love pack.

I laid down by DSP at an angle and added the scallop border pieces to the edges.

I glued this directly to the corrugated embossed piece. 

I then added the hearts that are going across the top of the DSP strip.

I then began layer up my die cuts with dimesionals until I achieved an arrangement I liked. 

I stamped the sentiment using Lovely Lipstick and die cut with a stitched circle die.

 

I added a few little rhinestones to finish it up.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Valentine's Day

 

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!!!

The challenge this week at Stamp, Ink Paper  is all about Love.

I had not used my Meant to Be stamp set and matching framelits yet, because to be honest, even tho I had seen tons of wonderful cards using it, I was uninspired and a bit intimidated by the set.

I told that to a friend and she was surprised and replied that she thought I was never intimidated by anything. LOL!! So many things intimidate me.

 

But once I stared to work with the dies a bit it all came together.

 

 

 

I die cut some hearts with  real red card stock and some DSP from the All My Love pack

.

All the die cuts beside the circle sentiment piece are from the framelits set.

 

 Thanks for stopping by today.
