Valentine's Day Card Series-- Day 6

Hello all,

I have another card project to share with you for the series... hope you enjoy!

This card came together pretty easily. I have vowed to use my scraps more and that is precisely what I did
! The bottom polka dot patterned paper is from an old paper pack from MME, then a sliver from Crate Paper and finally Bazzill glitter cardstock at the top. Layered was a blush colored velum strip cut out with AC Knock Outs punch. I then added lace, a paper doily which is underneath the centerpiece of a large circle and scalloped circle with "love birds" from the marriage stamp set from Inkadinkado. All topped off with May Arts' blush chevron twill ribbon. 

Hopefully this provides you with the inspiration you need to whip up some quick and easy cards for those you love!

Craft on!

Ahh technical difficulties...

As I was unable to use my computer these past few days, I have missed both day 3 and 4 of the series. Here are a few Valentine's Day Cards to make up for my absence! Hope you enjoy and craft on!

Valentine's Day Series

As Valentine's Day is fast approaching, I thought I would post a card for the lovers' holiday daily! So here is Day 1:

Lots of layering and stamping in this card! Started with a cream heavy cardstock base, topped with patterned paper from Crate Paper and then overlayed a pink vellum sheet that is held in place with heart brads. I then topped that with Spellbinders' Decorative Labels 22, cut out from paper from My Mind's Eye and then basic Labels 22. The center piece was created using PTI's 2nd to last Polka Dot parade stamp set, which I think is just utterly charming! So there you have it, I'll check back in with another post tomorrow!

Craft on!

More Easter cards...

 Here are a few more cards that I made for Easter. As with the previous entry, the stamp set I used is from Taylored Expressions but the patterned paper is from Doodlebug's Easter collection, released in February. I adhered purple butterflies, which were punched out with the Martha Stewart Crafts punch and layered with purple rhinestones from Simon Says Stamp.The butterflies add movement and depth, or at least that was my goal! I think this card is versatile enough to also be perfect for babies and any Springtime birthdays!

Close Up #1

Close Up #2

I'm not quite sure what the technical/official name of this fold is but it is easily produced-- simply fold a standard card size, 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and then cut about two inches off from the top. I then layered the inside piece that shows through to add color and definition. Then, using the We R Memory Keeper's ribbon punch, I created the pattern that then permitted me to thread satin ribbon through. A Sizzix embossing folder was used to create texture on the front, as well as a satin bow layered on a Spellbinders die cut circle.

On this card I used the bunny as a strong focal point, which I die cut using the Polka Dot Parade die that was released in February. I had a few Easter cards left over and so I think I could easily send this as a baby card, especially since I have so many friends that are currently expecting! I wanted a cleaner and simple look, which I think I may have actually achieved-- hooray!

Hope you enjoy these and I promise to keep adding more! 

Have a great weekend and craft on!

Sorry!

I realize Valentine's day is fast approaching and my card series simply halted! I, believe it or not, lost my camera that contained all the pictures, gasp. But now I'm back in business and ready to post a few cards as a peace offering. :-)

The first one is another "Love Monster" easel card, designed with kids or the young at heart in mind. They are a bit whimsical and oh so fun! The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye. Then, the other easel card that has "Mr. And Mrs" on the easel part was designed for my in-laws who are newlyweds. It is their first Valentine's Day as Mr. and Mrs. so I wanted a small card to commemorate that. The last one says "All you need is...chocolate". The chocolate was handwritten with Dong A Miffy popcorn pens. When you heat them up they literally poof up! So much fun. :)

Stay calm and craft on!
