Wishing you Happiness card

This is a card I did to show off the background stamp( JustRite background stamp Elegant fronds). I stamped the card with Angel pink momento ink and then edged it with brown ink and a sponge. I stamped the word  stamp ( Botanical Medallion and banners ) and the back ground stamp on a scrap of pink paper. I die cut a heart from the background stamp and then die cut the words and I also stamped the saying Wishing you... on pink paper with the brown in and I edged all of them with brown ink and a sponge. I layer things on the side of the card using foam tape to add dimension to the hearts.I wrapped a sheer ribbon around the card with a small bow on the right side.
  I made this card for JustRites background challenge and Stamp T.V.'s Valentine challenge.
  Be sure to pop over and see the other fun and fancy cards the other designers  have made.

Red filligree heart card

I love the pop of red in this card. I die cut the heart from Kraft and then the filigree overlay in red ( spellbinders die set). I added some red pearls to make it pop. I embossed half the card with an embossing folder and added a fun Kraft and white word paper on the bottom.( Bo Bunny) I added a stripe of red card stock to divid the 2 and a few more red pearls.
   I hope you find some time to play with your heart stamps and dies. It is good for your soul to play with hearts.
  Thanks for stopping.

Soft pink filligree hearts card

 This card is similar to my gold filigree card in design. I used Angel pink momento ink for the background using the Elegant Fronds background stamp by JustRite stamps again. This time I did not go all the way to the edge I left some ivory showing and die cut it with a spellbinders edge die. I put a pretty pink ribbon along the edge and then some pink paper on the inside page to help show off the intricate cuts of this border die. I die cut the hearts from the ivory paper that was also stamped with the background stamp. I then die cut the Scalloped hearts from the same pink paper I used on the side of the card. I then added a small pearl flower in the center of the hearts.
  This would be a nice Valentine card or Wedding card.
  I will be entering this over at JustRites background challenge and Stamp T.V.'s Valentine challenge.
I am going to be able to restock my wedding cards when I am done with all of the fun Heart cards I am making.
  Thanks again for stopping.

Golden filligree hearts card

This is such a pretty elegant card great for Valentines Day,a wedding ,or a 50th Anniversary card. It was fast and easy to make. I stamped the background stamp ( JustRite Elegant Fronds) on a pearl paper with versa mark ink and then I embossed it with gold embossing powder. I also did the same on some scraps,which I die cut with a spellbinders heart die.I die cut the pearl paper with a scalloped rectangle spellbinder die as well as a gold card stock with a rectangle spellbinder die. They were all layered on the white card bace and small pearl flowers were attached to the center of the hearts that I layered on the card with mats.
  I wish the picture would really highlight how pretty the pearl paper is with the gold embossing.

Bear hugs Valentine treat

I just sent off the Valentine treats I did for my daughters little gymnasts she teaches. I used a fun die from Accucut that looks like a small paper bag.( Bag Sleeve) I cut it from some fun pink paper and then used a embossing folder with x's and o's for a fun dimensional background. I cut some strips of printed paper  and some brown for a mat.I attached it to the card/bag in the middle. I then die cut the circles using a Spellbinders die. ( use wax paper to help the small openings come out easier) I stamped the bear and the words Bear Hugs and the tiny hearts on the circle around the edges.I used Raisin Boat stamp set # 10200 Tree's Company) I then stamped the bear on tiny printed paper and cut them out.( I do this when I am watching T.V.) I did color the inside of the ears with a pink and used a glue pen to put some brown flocking on their noses.Now I attached the circles on the side of the card/bag and then I used foam tape to attach the bear on top of where I stamped it on the circle.
  I put in a valentine pencil and some pixy stixs as well as a Fun Dip. That should be enough sugar to make them fun to have around, don't you think.
   Well I have a few more Valentine treats almost done to share with you but that is it for tonight.
   I hope you stay warm and safe with this crazy winter weather we are having in the mid west.
Take care and thanks for stopping.

Jar full of kisses sweet and simple

I stamped this jar (Sealed with a kiss # 10230 Raisn Boat stamp set) and then used a masking technique. first I stamped the flower heart( Raisin Boat # 10059 Playing Cupid) and then  to put in the lips ( kisses) I choose a soft petel pink ink from Momento ink. I stamped and cut out  the heart from post it notes so I had some sticky on the back of it. I then stamped the lips and used some post it notes to cover the edges of the jar and the heart I had cut out so I would not stamp on top of the jar edges or the heart. I then cut out the jar and tied a pretty pink bakers twine around the top.
The card is Brighton Beach white heavy weight paper ( It embossed the best if you ask me) I used a letter script embossing folder.I used some foam dots to give the jar some dimension and make it pop on top of the card.I almost forgot I added some dots of Glitter in the center of the flowers with Viva Glitter pen.
    I hope you find some time to play with hearts and lace and flowers.
Thanks for stopping in.

Corner Embossed Valentine card

    I love the corner embossing folders they are so elegant. I used this one with a heart I stamped and colored with Copics and then die cut with some spellbinders dies.The heart stamp is from a fun Valentine set by Raisin Boat called Playing Cupid  I added some centers to the flowers with a pearl pen. This would make a great wedding card too.Think about changing up the colors to soft blue or lavender it would really change up this simple elegant card. It is a fast and easy card too.So you can make several in no time.
   Well that's it for today. I hope you got a tad bit inspired to get out your stamps to play.
Thanks for stopping in.

A pretty little wedding card with a hint of blue

I love to color just watching T.V. or when we are on the 2 1/2 hour drive to our family so I end up with colored thing waiting to be made into a card some day. Well I finally made this cute couple into a card. I die cut the filligree with a pale blue paper and then used the oval die to cut out my couple. I added some glitter and a spot of pearls and I like the results.
  Do you color and have a stash of images ready to make into cards? Maybe today is the day you make some cards??

Elegant valentine take one

    I had fun with this card. I started out by just stamping the flower heart (Raisin Boat  Playing  Cupid ) I then colored with various shades of pink Copic markers and then picked out a fun Spellbinder die with a fancy frame on it and die cut it. I then cut a mat from pink cardstock with another fancy edge. I embossed the card with an embossing folder.  I added a sheer pink ribbon in the middle of the card hiding the ends under the matted stamped heart.I then added some pearls and rhinestone to the center of the flowers.
  This was a fun and fast card great for Valentines Day or a Pretty wedding card.
   I  hope you find time to play with your stamps and help get the winter blues out the door where they belong by making your own fun Valentine cards.
