L O V E

Hi guys. Today I'm showcasing the Valentine's day card I made fro my husband for this year. It's inspired by a card I found on Pinterest. I love that site for inspiration! :)

The sentiment was created digitally...which is always a great backup when you don't have the appropriate rubber stamp in your collection.



The letters are raised...so the card has a dimensional effect, which I always love on cards. Just adds a little something extra...


And here is the full card:


There's lots of layers -- but I love adding them to make the card pop more. :)


Happy Valentine's day!!!! :)

On your SPECIAL day

Hi guys. Today I made my first card of the year! :p I've been busy with other things -- taking care of my almost 1-year-old for the most part. But he's a joy...so card making can take a back seat. :)

Today I created a card for a special occasion. I was thinking wedding...but I guess it could be used for whatever occasion the giver has in mind.

I used a beautiful embossing folder called " ". I love the textured look -- and even just a strip of it on a card makes a statement.



I also punched two different butterfly punches and created one butterfly. It's a great effect...especially when you use two different colors.



Lastly, I stamped a beautiful sentiment from Stampabilities...and of courses added bling to make it sparkle a bit. :)
