Glittered love


I have had fun playing around with different colors for my Valentine cards this year. This one is full of texture too. I embossed the ivory card stock with a Sizzix embossing folder. I stamped the aqua blue paper with a JustRite background stamp and coco brown ink. I die cut the edge with a spellbinders die and then I rubbed the edge with a sponge and some of the brown ink. I die cut the lacy heart from brown card stock. I stamped some of the aqua blue with a different JustRite background stamp . I then die cut it with a heart die and edged it with the sponge and brown ink.I die cut the word love ( paper smooches die) I then layered things and attached them to the card. I used a glitter pen  and went over the word love.
  I made this card for Mod Squads Hearts and glitter challenge. Be sure to pop over and see all of the fun cards over at this fun new challenge blog.

Sweet Tweet Valentine card


 This is a fun and bright Valentine card I made with a fun Raisin Boat stamp from Tree's company #10200 I stamped it with grey momento ink and colored it with Copic markers. I added the Sweet Tweet saying with Lipstick red memonto ink. I added some glitter to the wings with a glitter pen.I die cut the bird and mats with spellbinders die's. I cut a stipe of blue dot paper and marked where it would go on the bottom of my page and then embossed the x's and o's above and below where it would go.For a pop of red I added a piece of 1/4" wide red dot washi tape above and below the embossed  lines. I stamped Hugs and Kisses( Raisin Boat Love Letters # 10226) with the Lipstick red momento ink and then went over it with the glitter pen. I punched holes on each side of the red mat and attached 2 aqua eylets on each side. I put a red bakers twine through them and attached the matted bird to the card.
  I made this for Raisn Boats Valentine Challenge # 19  and Mod Squad challenge ( hearts and glitter)

JustRite aqua and kraft card


I was playing around again with my JustRite back ground stamps and I tried this pretty aqua blue embossing powder on kraft paper.I kind of like the look.I stamped the background using JustRites  Garden Gate background stamp with versa mark ink and then embossed it with the aqua blue embossing powder. I stamped one of JustRites Lace Borders on Kraft paper and embossed it with the Aqua blue embossing powder. I then stamped a  retired doily  stamp on Kraft paper and embossed it also. I die cut the stamped doily and also a aqua blue mat with spellbinder's die's. I cut a mat of the same aqua blue paper a bit bigger then the kraft with lace on it. I layered everything on the card using foam tape to raise up the matted doily. I also added a small blue dot I had from Michell's.
   This is a really pretty looking card and super easy to do. I plan on playing around with some other color combo's to see what else I can come up with.
    This is  one more card I did for JustRite stamps blog background challenge.Be sure to check out all of the other great cards.
Thanks for stopping.
