Beyond the Blue 52

Welcome to Day 10 of my valentines inspiration series. Today's card is also for the new challenge at Beyond the Blue to use a Gel Press pull. 

To create this card I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel. 

I placed the new Sticky mat by My Sweet Petunia in the Original Misti and then placed my panel in the middle of it and then inked up the script background. I love the sticky mat for this, you don't have to worry about your paper shifting if you need to stamp again. 

Next using the heart die cut, I cut out of the center of the panel, the gel press print and then a couple more times on scrap paper for dimension. I glued them all together and placed it in the negative space of the panel. 

To finish the card I used the love word die by Poppy Stamps and cut it out in gold for the background and white for the letters and then placed it over the heart.

Valentines Inspiration Day 8

Happy Wednesday! 

It's time for a new challenge at Make the Cards Challenge. We changed things up a little bit so we are a bi-weekly challenge now so you will have until Tuesday February 8th to play along

This card is also for Day 8 of my Valentine series. 

This card was simple to make and could be mass produced.  Its all dies and no stamping, however I did stamp an inside greeting of "you" 

It is hard to get a good photo with the card standing upright, but you can see the gold foil with it laying down.

Vintage Valentine

I am up on the My Sweet Petunia company blog sharing this card. which is also for Day 7 of my Valentine series. 

 

As I said in one of my earlier posts for this series, I don't see valentines day as a day just for couples I  see is as a day to show someone, anyone you love them. So that is why I am calling this card a vintage valentine. 

To create this card I started with a watercolor paper card base and a panel of watercolor paper. I placed the card base in the Original Misti and stamped script  using Old Gold ink. I also added some splatter stamped with Old Gold as well.

 I stamped the floral and butterfly images with Versafine Nocturne ink on the watercolor panel and painted  them using Daniel Smith watercolors. Next I cut them out using the coordinating dies. I inked around the edges of the sentiment with Old Gold as well to tie it in.

Conversation Hearts

It's day 6 of my valentines series, 14 days of valentine Inspiration. Today's card is brought tp you by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

I love this conversation heart set, Heart Candy even thought it is retired I decided to still use it.

To create this card I started with a top folding white card base and some patterned paper from my stash. 

I stamped the candy box on a separate piece of cardstock, colored it and then fussy cut it out. Stamped the heats from the same set with colored ink and fussy cut the =m out as well. I added some cellophane in the cut out to give it a more realistic look.  

Freaking Love You

It's time for a new game at AAA Cards.  For game 207 we are wanting to see some no layered cards also using a big sentiment. 

To create this clean and simple card I started with a white top folding card base. I used a stencil y Erin Lee Creative and a large sentiment by Picket Fence Studios.

Trash Panda

Welcome to day 4 of my valentines series.

Today's card is brought to you by Ink On 3 in which I am also up on the Ink On 3 company blog with this card. 

To create this card, I started with a top folding white card base and a white Heavystock distress panel. 

To create the background I put down some Sweet Petunia Pink ink on a craft mat, spritzed it with water and then smooshed the panel of heavystock into it until I achieved a look I was pleased with. 

I stamped the raccoon aka trash panda on a piece of white cardstock, colored him and then cut him out with the coordinating dies and popped him up on the pink panel.

Rainbow Valentine

Welcome to day 3 of my little valentines series. Valentines day to me is not just for couples, to me it's a day to show others no matter who they are that they are loved and appreciated. 

It's like a Jesus day to show the love of Jesus to everyone. 

My card today is also for the Beyond the Blue challenges. The BTB challenge team is just a group of friends who follow Lydia at Understandblue (thus the name) and use her different technique as challenges.

To create this card, I started with a white top folding card base and some patterned paper.

I used the Magic Color Slider Die by Lawn Fawn to make the slider portion of my card.

Handmade Hugs

It's time for our first challenge of the new year at Addicted to Stamps & More.

this challenge is to make your mark, now it doesn't have to be markers that you make your mark with, it can be colored pencils, watercolor or any other medium you choose. 

My card is also for a valentines series that I am starting here on my blog and instagram.

To create this card I started with a side folding white card base, black cardstock, red cardstock and a white cardstock. I stamped the image from the Happy Mail Heart and colored it using alcohol markers. I fussy cut out the heart and placed it on a black piece of cardstock and then fussy cut it again to give it a mat. 

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of black cardstock with embossing ink, embossed it in white and also fussy cut it and added it to the center of the heart.
