Two Valentine Cards!

Hi everyone!

As promised, I am sharing another two Valentine cards with you.  I hope that you can use the designs for other cards too.

My first card is quite plain.  I bought a Martha Stewart heart punch and wanted to do some cards with it.  The finished punch is really pretty but is large at about 1.5 x 1.5 inches.
I decorated the bottom of my card by punching a border design and then using the holes as guides and filling them with bling and pearls.  Cool, huh?

 I used the design of the punched border to thread a deep pink satin ribbon through.  To get the ribbon evenly on the front of my card I started by putting my bow in the middle of the card and threading left and right from the center.

Doily Card

I really like doilies.  And I like using them on my cards. Doilies really give a delicate feminine feel to any card they are used on.  Think about flowers or snowflakes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentines Day

Hi Everyone!  I hope that you celebrated Valentine's Day with your loved ones last week.  I'm a bit late with this card (and one tomorrow!).  But I did want to share this with you.

I started out wanting to do a traditional Victorian valentine but ended up with something a bit different! Sometimes our art takes us to places that surprise us!

My card below reminds me of a pocket of hearts. 

I used the following products.  The cling stamp (Newspaper Heart) is from Hero Arts.  I saw it in the catalog and had to have it.  I used Festive Berries as my red ink even though it came out for Christmas.

I added ink to my embossed triangle pocket. The bow is actually yarn that I bought a while back in gold.

I colored the edges of the hearts to give more dimension.

 I added this little "14" cardstock sticker to represent February 14th!

I hope you enjoyed my Valentine Card!

Where have I been?!

Hi everyone!  Lis here!

No I haven't gotten lost in darkest Africa, nor have I been climbing Mount Everest!

I have been working very hard!  Work has kept me busy but I promise that I will have some new cards for you soon (maybe as early as this Saturday)!

I am working on a different style of collage and am in the middle of doing the design work for my latest!
So stay tuned! (And thanks for sticking around!)

Thank You Card Set

Hi everyone!

Today I would like to share a Thank You Card set that I created to send out to friends and family.  It is very simple yet elegant with the gold embossed sentiment on the front.

I used some Anna Griffin patterned paper.  I really like the way this monotone pattern looks.

An ivory ribbon finishes off the cards.

Hope you enjoyed today's card creation.
