Sweet Valentine Card

This card is one of the four that I made for a friend. 

I used non-traditional Valentine's Day colors.  

I think of traditional colors being red and or pink.  

I'm not sure what made me choose Pacific Point for this. 

But I like it!

I traced a bowl on the white cardstock, then cut around the edge. 

Glued that to the Pacific Point cardstock and cut around that, leaving an edge, so the white has a border. And added a small bow for a little more detail. 

When I started making this set of cards, 

I made my self get out some paper that I was hanging on to. 

 I'm glad I did. This turned out really to be a real sweet card.

(The dsp is so old that when I Googled it to find some inspiration, no matches came up, LOL. 

So I took a picture of it so you would believe me about the name.  

When you Google, Petals & Paisleys, you get Petal Paisley or 

something like that which I think is a current dsp.)

Simple Valentine's Day Card

Yes, The Hubs did get a Valentine card from me. 

And on time. 

Go me!!

The previous cards I have posted were for a friend to give to her daughters. I had fun being crafty outside my box. You know, girly paper, fussy cutting, ribbon....

(I will post two more Valentine cards this weekend) 

(look at me....just posting away, LOL)

Now back to the card for My Valentine. 

Back to simple and easy. 

Chocolate Chip is one of my favorite colors! 

Just a little Love goes along way.

I love him so very much. :)

And Crumb Cake! It goes with everything!!! 

I like how the crimping helps 

the heart "Pop" just a little more.

(When you add a bright color with Crumb Cake, it just "POPS" doesn't it??)

I was asked once what my fav SU color was. I was like "really??". How can you ask me to choose??!! 

I have a lot of favorite colors. I can't pick just one! 

Can you??

Valentine Card

Using up more of my stash of this beautiful DSP, Attic Boutique.

See what I did here? I cut out some of the larger flowers from the paper. Layered and glued them onto white cardstock. 

Then cut around the edges. 

And then did it again with light blue cardstock.

I know, I should have taken pics. Sorry. 

Ribbon. Cutting. Layering. 

Fun elements and techniques make for a pretty card.

And no ink on this one either!!  The one I posted yesterday didn't have ink on it either.

Cards for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is upon us. Will I get The Hubs a card made in time? We shall see! :)

I will start today by announcing that I don't like Pink. 

We just don't get along. 

Not Pink the artist/singer, but Pink the color.  

I just can't seem to make it work.

I have tried!!

I think this is only my second pink card. 

Ever.

I really like this patterned paper. And have been hoarding the pack for a while. Waiting for just the right card/project to use it on. 

What do you think??

I'm not happy with the bow. But that's the only pink ribbon I have.

Remember?? 

Pink and I don't get along so I kind of avoid it at all costs. :)

Gender Neutral Baby Card

I have not used the Glassy Glaze from Stampin UP yet. I kinda' forgot about to tell you the truth. It has been discontinued so I will have to find a replacement when this jar is gone. 

I was asked to make a gender neutral baby card. 

Yellow and green colors came to mind. So I assembled my supplies and got to work.

I opened the ink pad and pressed it onto the white cardstock. If you look closely you can see the texture of the pad.  Then I pressed the VersaMark pad over the inked cardstock. I sprinkled the Glassy Glaze on the cardstock over the VersaMark, then used the heat gun to melt the powder.  I stamped a star onto the back of the glazed cardstock.  Then fussy cut it out. 

I had already done the same procedure for the Pear Pizzazz. You can see it in the background.

I like the effect of mixing the two colors. I used the opened ink pads on the cardstock, overlapping the colors. You can see the lines from the edge of the Pear Pizzazz pad.

I used the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder on a strip of white cardstock. Turned it over so that the indention of the dots is what shows. I stepped outside the box on this one, normally you would want the raised dots to show.

Here is the finished gender neutral baby card.
