Valentine Cards

I made Valentine cards but I didn't give any away 😞. I would have sent one to Remi but they were in the process of moving to Colorado and I didn't have an address for where they were living currently.

I'm still not too sure that I like this one but oh, well! I didn't mean for the ink to smear on the white hearts. I tried something I saw where you ink your embossing folder then run it through the sizzix. It may have been the type of ink I used. I don't know. I decided that I would make it work. It does kind of have a "distressed" look to it. The love banner is a unity stamp from February 2017 KOTM. It was all one piece and I cut out the letters and attached it to a piece of twine to make a banner.






This Valentine Card I made for a Unity card challenge. Which was to make a Valentine Card using only black and white. I am entering this into Cards in Envy "Give it Some Heart" card challenge. You may recognize a technique I used on the last post. It is called "Triple Stamping". It is so fun and makes pretty cards.  I do like how this card turned out.  I think I may go back and color in the bigger hearts. I haven't decided yet. The Biggest heat came for the same KOTM as above. The heart with words came from April 2017 KOTM. The tiny hearts came from the stamp set "Never Ending Love".

This was my first attempt at this card. I wasn't satisfied so I made another. The paper was cut crooked. I didn't like the way I stamped the border. The heart border was created using the stamp set mentioned above "Never Ending Love". The raccoons are a Phyllis Harris design called "Sweets for My Sweet".










Valentine's Day Doyle took me out for lunch. It was on Wednesday so we had church that evening. It was still a nice day!

Thanks for looking! Have a good one!

Vellum & Washi Cards

I have been watching some more videos. They are so inspirational and help me have variety in my creativity. This video is called "Vellum + Washi Cards by Angela Magnuson on May 4th. You can find that video here. This stamp set is Unity called Beatrix Girl from the AngieGirl collection by artist Angie Blom. I heat embossed with black powder the girl and sentiment.

Another video I watched for this inspiration was on May 9th called "Triple Stamping by Angela Magnuson" The stamp I used was a little too big for an A2 size card. I didn't want to make a larger card so my solution was to use foam tape and pop up the black boots.

The boots are from Unity called "Brave Boots". The sentiment is from the stamp set "Sassy Boots with a Melody". I made a banner with the sentiment and used foam tape to give it dimension. I used washi tape in the place of ribbon.

I made this card for Destiny's wedding. I mixed two stamp sets. The words in the form of a tier cake are from Stampin Up. The "Mr. & Mrs." is from Unity's September Kit of the Month 2009. I heat embossed using white powder. I used a Stampin up punch on the corners.

I really like how this card turned it. I used Unity stamp set "Another Name for Love". I used Distress Ink Salty Ocean, Mustard See, Preserves, Picked Rasberry, Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers. I stamped three butterflies and cut them out. I then inked the edge of the card with Picked Rasberries.

Hope I inspired you to create something😉.

Have a good one!
