Love You a Latte

on


Hi everyone and happy Sunday :)

Today I want to share a clean and simple card to be given to your sweet heart :) 
It's simple (well, as all of my cards are ;-) ) and easy to create!

I have used the "Coffee Break Additions" stamp set and the two of the *awsome* border dies from the "Stitched Border Die Trio" from Clearly Whimsy Stamps.
The ink I have used is Versafine Onyx Black from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko (my *go to* black ink) and the heart was colored with Memento markers in Lady Bug and Rosebud.
The little tag is also a die from Whimsy Stamps: "Slider 1 Die" (from the Shapeology collection)


Please refer to the grey boxes below this post for step-by-step instructions and a complete list of supplies :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope to see you here on my blog again, soon :)

XOXOXO - Valentine's Card

on



Hi everyone and happy Saturday :)

Isn't it unbelievable how fast time flies? 
It seems like Christmas was only yesterday but Valentine's Day is next week, already.... oh man.... really?

 Well, for my card I have used the lovely, versatile sketch from Joni Andaya for CAS(E) this Sketch! to create ... yep, you already guessed it ;-) ... another Valentine's card.

 At first, I planned to put the white panel straight onto the card front (this way, the sketch would have been more obvious), but in the end I decided to put it down at an angle, so the arrows  on the patterned paper in the background have the same direction and "flow" like the heart cut out :)


Please refer to the grey boxes below this post for step-by-step instructions and a complete list of supplies :)

  • cut a 3 3/8" x 4 3/8" piece of white cardstock  and create a faux stitching border by using a paper piercing tool and a Memento Marker in Lady Bug (to draw the faux thread between the holes)
  • die cut heart ("Heart Board Fri-Dies") in upper half of  the panel
  • stamp "XOXOXO" ("Love Notes" set) with Brilliance Rocket Red
  • wrap blue twine around white panel and tie into bow
  • mount panel to card front on an angle using dimensional foam tape

With All My Heart - Valentine's Day Card in Purple

on



Hi everyone and happy Sunday :)

Today I am sharing a purple Valentine's Day card *gasp*

Oh my word! Purple is absolutely so not my color to create with! I always struggle when creating with this color.

Yes, purple can look beautiful! I see a lot of gorgeous cards around using this color but still, it is one of my personal biggest challenges to use this color *lol*

But that's the meaning of a challenge, right? To dare yourself to do something, you usually would not do! Therefore I decided to take the challenge of the current CAS*ology Challenge and create a card with purple *lol*



As always, you can find the step-by-step instructions and a complete list of supplies below this post in the grey boxes :)






Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope to see you here on my blog again, soon :)

    Instructions
  • create a top folded 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base from 4 1/4" x 11" white cardstock and round lower right corner
  • open the card base and place the heart die ("Heart Board Fri-Dies")  in the upper left corner of your card front -affix with Washi tape or any other removable tape- and run through die cutting machine
  • stamp heart ("Cupid's Arrows") with Memento Lulu Lavender onto inside of the card, that it can be seen through the die cut heart window
  • stamp "I Love You" ("Sands of Time") with Memento Lilac Posies onto card front besides heart window
  • stamp sentiment arrow ("Cupid's Arrows") with Memento Lilac Posies onto scrap piece of white cardstock and die cut with co-ordinating die ("Heart Board Fri-Dies")
  • mount arrow to card front using dimensional foam pads
  • wrap around sheer ribbon and tie into bow

    You can find the step-by-step instructions for this card below this post in the "Instructions" box!

     I sprayed the white cardstock panel, layered underneath the focal point panel, with some "Sheer Shimmer Spritz Silver", but unfortunately I wasn't able to catch the beautiful shimmer in my picture.

     I tried to do a close up to showcase it better, but I think I failed miserably, again :-/ So I hope, you just believe me when I say that it looks super pretty in real life :)

    3. die cut two rectangles with Spellbinders classic rectangle set from white cardstock (one will be approx. 3" x 3 3/4" and the other one will be approx. 2 3/8" x 3")
    4. spray the larger one of the die cut rectangles with "Sheer Shimmer Spritz Silver" and let dry
