Love You So Much card

Image
Hello crafty friends! I am encouraging you to shop your stash today. I'm sharing a project using a few of my favorite items to make a fun Valentine card or just a card for any reason to let someone know you love them. This card was made with an A2 size card base cut from smooth white cardstock. I then ran a 1/4 size piece of white cardstock through an embossing folder and added that embossed panel to the card cardbase. I then die cut a nesting rectangle frame from red cardstock for my card front.  I then chose a set of flower dies and a set of leaf dies to create a textured heart shape. I cut the flowers and leaves from scraps of red, pink and coral cardstock. I then chose from nesting heart dies a size of heart to fit in the center of my card front. I then added the flowers and leaves to the heart with foam squares. I trimmed off the excess and stamped a sentiment from more red cardstock and used a sentiment strip die to cut the sentiment out. I added that across the with liquid g...

Simon Says Stamp To Be Loved Release Day

Image
Hello crafty friends! I am so happy to be sharing a project using some goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp To Be Loved release . I am featuring the gorgeous Dancing Floral 3d embossing folder and the I'm Sorry die from this new release .  I will be using one of my new favorite techniques from 2024!  I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another piece of white cardstock to run through the Dancing Floral embossing folder . I used copic marker to color in the "debossed" images. I then used an oxide ink pad and dragged it over the top of the entire panel of the colored images. I used a coordinating copic marker to add a few dots around the inked images. I die cut the I'm Sorry sentiment die and background from more white cardstock. I used distress ink to addd color to the background. I stamped the sub-sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and trimmed it down with scissors. I added a bit of gold twine to finish this pr...

Just perfect for a card. So simple to create a top folding card out of a tag die. I cut two tags.  I used a scoring board and stylus to create a hinge on one of the tags. This will be your bottom tag.  I adhered adhesive above the score line and added the other cut tag on top. I used the scoring board to help line it up perfectly.

Sparkling Candles set of cards

Image
Hello crafty friends! Today's post will feature the Sparkling Candles die three ways. I will show you simple ways to step up your card making.   Clean and simple: This card uses lots of white space on an A2 size card base cut from smooth white cardstock. I used only the base of the candle dies . I used white gel pen detail and stickles for the flames. I added a sentiment from my stash. Any sentiment will do! Add another step: I used the same candle dies but I used the extra layer that is included in the set. I added a cream panel to the white cardbase.   I added a layer the same color as the candle. Add a few more steps: This card features the same cream panel but this time I ran it through a 3d embossing folder for texture. I also added a few more colors to the the layers of the candles. Just by mixing up the layer colors of the candles adds extra dimension. This was so much fun and I hope you got some inspiration. Please leave me a comment if you have any questio...
