Valentine Card 1



Since it is getting close to Valentine's Day, I wanted to post a Valentine card I made for my husband. The card stock was White and Real Red from SU.
I used the heart die from Nestabilities. The BG was an EF-Dots from Sizzix
The  vine stamp was from Judi Kin's and the love sentiment was from Hero Arts.
 The ink was actually SU markers- Old Olive, Real Red, and Rose Red (flowers).



The inside:
Stamps-Heart corner stamp from Apple Tree (a store), and a Valentine stamp from Clearly Inspired
I used the computer for part of the sentiment.
For the rounded corners, I placed 4 heart stickers and embossed dots at the bottom.



Sweet Pea


Good day! 

This card was made using the SU Sweet Pea designer paper. It is double sided so I used both sides….One for the background and one for the image. I placed a butterfly sticker from Stampabilities on the front and used the sentiment from SU-2001. I rounded the corners, added a green organdy ribbon and that finished my front.
Most of the time taken to make this card was just figuring out how to use the paper the best. 






The insde was taken from the same designer paper which I glued in two separate sheets so the card would fold properly. I cut out where the flowers were and glued them on top of the striped paper on the left side and the right. They fit is just right. Then I added a butterfly from the same sticker set and a small flower by the sentiment. The sentiment was a Kathy Davis stamp from Hobby Lobby. I added a scripture verse on the left side.
I was very pleased with how this turned out!



Sweet and Sassy





This card was inspired by a card from Korin Sutherland. I changed the colors, the embossing folder ( I used the Couture creations- Magical EF),  the sentiment, the flower centers, and the border punch and added designer paper behind the border design. I used Copics-B41,B34, B21, Y11, G43, and Momento T Black, and a Creative Memories black marker . The DP is from SU Sweet Pea. The stamp was from a Sweet and Sassy-Dream Big set. The yellow ribbon was satin and organdy. The border punch was a triple loop from MS. The flower centers were black spots from SU. My sentiment was from Clear stamps- Everyday expressions. At the top of the border I added small blue pearls. The oval for the flowers was cut out with a Creative Memories cutting set because I didn't have one large enough from Nestabilities which I ruffled up the edge before attaching with foam dots.

On the inside I just used the same butterfly with hand drawn lines behind it and a sentiment from verses- Stolen Moments and the birthday stamp was from Whipper Snapper-29 Again.

It snowed 5 1/2" today which means I won't work today. I am headed now for the treadmill. Have a safe and warm day!






Floral Delight 2



I tried to add this to my previous card but couldn't figure out how, so…I will put it in a new post. I added a 3D flower sticker to the front to add color. I liked it better. I  used a SU embossing folder and used Labels Four from Spellbinders, and green satin ribbon on the side.
Have a good day!

Floral delight



I realize that it has been a long time since  I have posted anything. I have to rethink how to do this. I am so new at this and wish I could remember what I need to do. Oh well….
Ok…This is a simple card where I started out using CS from SU- Mellow Moss for the base color. My next layer was white-GP and I used the SU Elegant Bouquet embossing folder using my cuttlebug.Then I typed my sentiment on the computer, cut it out with the Spellbinders Labels Four die and stamped the leaf design from Su's Thoughts and Prayers set. I layered it with the larger die behind it. Added the Mellow Moss grossgrain ribbon and then used the same die for the inside.  The sentiment is from Printworks from Hobby Lobby and the scripture is from Our daily bread-Happy Birthday.
