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!!!

My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 4

Happy Sunday!!

Welcome to Day 4 of my 25 Days of Christmas challenge.  Today's project is my second card of the season and I must say I had a lot of fun making this card.  Have any of you read the meaning behind the candy cane, aka "The Candy Cane Story"?  If you have never read the story then you can read it below.  I have always loved the candy cane story and thought I would incorporate it into a card.  Here is what I created:

The title has a bubble in it for dimension.

I added a spin feature to the card to bring the story to life in the card.  The candy cane stamp turns to change the cane into a 'J' for Jesus.  A red brad in the center of the ribbon helps it to spin.  I popped the candy cane and the red and white mats behind it with foam tape.

I printed the story from the Internet.

Here is the story...

If you can't read the small print of the picture then you can follow the link, http://www.kidtokid.org/candycanestory.html, and read it.

What I used:

-Making Memories Holiday Paper pack
-Queen & Co. black rhinestones
-Nicole Craft green rhinestones
-Studio G ink
-Studio G candy cane stamp
-Recollections card stock
-Cricut Home Decor Cartridge

So here is my Day 4 project.  Please let me know what you think.  And I will see you all in a little bit for Day 5.  Thanks for spending some time with me.
