With Love, a Valentine's Card

Hi everyone!  Here I am with another card for you!  Can you tell that I'm still in my pink phase?  No to worry, we can always change the color of our cards, can't we!

 
Items used:
  • Spellbinders ? ( I have a bad habit of taking my dies out of their packages and putting them in a storage container.  :=(
  • Prima flowers
  • Hot Pink Crinkle ribbon
  • Pink satin foiled card
  • Pink card
  • White shimmer card
  • Patterned card (brown with gold newsprint)-Kanban
  • White pearls
  • "Ooh La La" acetate - Jolee's
  • Black "with Love" - Hot off the Press Tiny Word Dazzles in Black
The dies made this card fairly easy to do.  Each die cut piece was layered onto the one below with mounting tape.

Although the dies are intricate they are pretty large so it wasn't a problem die cutting the materials I'd chosen.

I love this little acetate sentiment.  I got them at Jo Anns.  They come in a pack (you get a lot!) and the theme is Paris and France (my favorite).

 
I decided to use the smallest die to add a sentiment.



I hope you enjoyed my card!  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentine's Day Card

Hi everyone!

Hope your weekend was great!  Today I have a Valentine's card that I made for you.


Items used:
  • Diamond Design Pink ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.com
  • Tim Holtz Glitter Dust, Mahogany Distressed Glitter glue
  • Pink Doily - heart shaped
  • Happy Valentine Dies
  • Pink shimmer card with embossed dot
  • Pink satin foil card embossed Rose pattern (Anna Griffin)
  • Three Cherubs - Tim Holtz Seasonal Stickers
  • Flowers - Anna Griffin
  • White Pearls - Michaels
This card started where I work.  One of the supervisors there brought in these red and pink hert shaped doilies and we all took one to decorate and post on a board.  So, I made a card out of mine (yes, I took it home first!)

I really enjoyed using Tim Holtz new Distress Glitter.  It has a beautiful antique-y color and sparkles A LOT!  I cut out my words onto pink card.  Then I used a liquid glue on the front to attach the glitter.

I put some glitter on the loops of the paper flower collage.  I added some mahogany glitter glue - although I don't know why.  It looks pretty good.


You can get a good view of the satin foiled card and shimmer card I used to mat my card.  I love using foiled card because it picks up the embossing swell.

I hope that you enjoyed my Valentine card!  Thanks for stopping by!
