Heart Balloon Bear Card

Hi All,

For today's post I created a Valentine's Day card.  I first thought I would give this to Hubs but I think it might be too feminine for him; actually the more I look at it, it is too feminine for him.  That's ok I still like it.  This card came from an Amy Rysavy friday sketch.  Click here to see the sketch.

The Heart Balloon Bear image is from Angelique at http://sliekje.blogspot.com/2010/02/beertje.html.  I just love this little image!!  And it is a free digital image.

I colored him in with colored pencils and once I was finished I added DecoArt Twinkles to the heart balloons and a little to his tummy.

All in all I think the card came out rather cute.  This was a really, really easy card to make.

What I used..
~Michael's brand paper
~Studio G ink
~Studio G stamps
~Recollections card stock
~Queen and Co. black rhinestone bling
~Sheer black ribbon from my stash.

And that was all.  Super fast to assemble and I love this layout!  Be sure to check out Angelique and all her free images and Amy Rysavy.

Thanks for stopping by Everyone!  Until next time..

Have a joyous day!!!

Cupcake Love Card

Hi All!

It is 5 days before Valentine's Day and in keeping with the Spirit of Love I made this card. The image is from sliekjestamps at sliekje.blogspot.com.  There is a Free Digital Stamps group on Facebook and this stamp was listed on the posts and I grabbed this image there.  Isn't she cute!

Hubby thought that the sentiment should be "I love you almost as much as cupcakes."  I thought that was a cute sentiment but I chose to use this stamp from Studio G instead.

What I used..
~Pattern paper from Michael's $1 section. 
~Recollections Card Stock
~DecoArt Twinkles
~Shabby Treasures from the $1.50 bin at Michael's
~Michael's bling
~Studio G ink
~Studio G Love stamp
~Dollar store doily

My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 24

Welcome everyone,

So today is a project that I started on my Day 5 project and needed your help finishing the card.  The advice I got from Sandy O of Paper Transformer was a great idea.  She suggested " Hmmm...I think this is really pretty as is. The only thing I would add is some shine or sparkle to the bulbs on the tree. Mybe your pretty gold pen you used on your other card would look pretty on the garland and around the edges of the die cut. But it REALLY is pretty as is."   Here is the final card.

I added red DecoArt Twinkles to the balls on the tree and the bows on the presents.  Then brought out the garland with a gold glitter gel pen.  I also decided to re-ink the edge in green to take away some of the white.

On the inside I added four red snowflakes for some more color.

I used the iridescent DecoArt Twinkles again, like I did for the snow, for the present on the left.  I LOVE the sparkle on this card!!  Thank you Sandy for great suggestions!

Just one more project to go everyone.  I am excited! Thanks for stopping by today and I will see in the next blog!

My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 23

Hi Everybody!

So Day 23's project is a fun Santa card.  I think this card is so cute.  I am loving this paper pack from Recollections this year!  So much fun!!

The card stock and pattern paper is from Recollections' Bright and Jolly paper pack.  I really like using the Recollections brand because some of their products are made State side and I am a big supporter of American made.  I cut Santa out of one of the papers and then glues him on the black card stock and then cut a thin black border around the image; instant die-cut.

The note spot was cut from the Teresa Collin's Sophisticated Cricut cartridge. I inked the edge with black in so that it would stand out.  Then I cut out a sentiment from another page in the pack, added a black backing and that's it.

What I used..
~Recollections Card Stock
~Recollection Bright and Jolly paper pack
~Studio G black ink
~Studio G letter stamps
~Queen Kat black blink
~Lace
~Sheer black and opaque black ribbon
~Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut cartridge

So this is my 23rd project. Just two more to go.  So I will see you in the next blog.  Until then...

Thanks for stopping by
