You Make My Heart Melt

Hi everyone!

I hope you're having a wonderful day so far!

I wanted to pop in real quick and share a card that I made for my hubby.

We are getting ready to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary!!

 I am truly blessed to get to live life with him every single day!

Ok, Ok, back to the card lol!

I saw the sketch over at the MFT Card Challenges blog and knew it would be perfect for my card.

I started by creating a white top folding A2 card base and cutting some strips of patterned paper, adhering them at an angle and trimming off the excess. I stamped my images from the Penguins In Paradise stamp set from MFT (one of my favorites!!), colored them with my Copics and fussy cut them out. I stamped my sentiment before adhering my images with foam tape onto my card. I decided he needed some fun trunks, so I stamped the image again, fussy cut his little swim trunks and glued them to my penguin to finish my card. So cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Tree: E35, E37, E39, YG03, YG05, YG07, YG09--

--Penguin: C00, C0, C4, C6, C8, R01, YR07--

--Popsicle: E53, Y13, Y15--

I would like to play along with the following challenges:

--Double D Challenges: Tropical--

Jaded Blossom's April Release Blog Hop!

Hey Everyone!  

Welcome to Jaded Blossom's April Stamp Release Blog Hop!

If you're here from Rosemary's amazing blog, you're in the right place. If you're just passing through, be sure to start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing.  I will also have the complete line up at the bottom.
Here is what I made:

I just love these new Stitched Arch Dies!

I die cut a piece of floral paper using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 and adhered it to a white A2 card. I wanted to make a card that featured the arch as a frame, so I nested two of the arch dies together to create a frame from white cardstock. I used the Stitched Arch Dies again to cut out a piece of vellum so that it would fit perfectly behind my frame. I popped it up with foam tape onto my card front. I used the Build A Wreath Die and the Gnome Dies: Wedding Add Ons to create a floral garland and some wedding bells to add to my arch. I stamped my sentiment using the Gnome Wedding Day stamp set, cut it out using the Label Shape Dies 1 and added it to my card front. I finished my card by adding a few small Opal Gems to my flowers and my sentiment.

I think this turned out so pretty!

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today...

I started by covering my A2 white card base with some floral patterned paper, leaving a small amount of the white card showing. I used the new Stitched Arch Dies and cut out 2 from some light pink paper that was in the patterned paper pack. Once I had them cut out, I turned them sideways, adhered them to my card and trimmed off the overage. I built my beautiful gnome bride by using the Gnome Dies: Bride & Groom and the Gnome Dies: Wedding Add Ons. I adhered her to my card and then added some pearls to her flowers. I stamped my greeting using the Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and the Gnome Wedding Day stamp set. I used the coordinating Gnome Wedding Day Outline Dies to cut out my sentiment, layering it onto a banner that I cut out using the Mini Tag Dies 2 before adhering it to the small arch. I added some hearts that I cut out using the Banner Dies and the Embellishment Clusters die to my card, along with some white puffy heart stickers and tiny heart shaped pearls.

Here is a look at what I created to share with you today:

I used the Pocket Tag Die to create a gift card holder. I cut it out twice, once in white cardstock and again in the floral patterned paper. I trimmed down the patterned paper and adhered it to inside of my gift card holder, instead of having a white background. I used the same patterned paper and the layering die that comes with the Pocket Tag Die for my front panel. I used the Scallop Circle Dies and cut out a circle in white and also in Vellum, layering them on top of each other. I die cut a bouquet and some rings using the Gnome Dies: Wedding Add Ons and added them to the front of my gift card. I stamped my sentiment using the Gnome Wedding Day stamp set and used the coordinating Gnome Wedding Day Outline Dies to cut it out, popping it up with some foam tape for a little dimension. I finished my gift card holder by adding some pearls to the flower centers, a heart from the Embellishment Clusters Die and some white satin ribbon.

I think it is so pretty and it has so much sparkle, I just couldn't seem to capture it.

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

Aren't these gnomes so fun dressed in the wedding attire? 

Here is how I made it...

I created a top folding A2 card and added 2 pieces of patterned paper towards the bottom of the card front.  I then added a scallop rectangle that I cut from floral patterned paper using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 on top. I stamped my sentiment from the Gnome Wedding Day under my scallop rectangle and started building my gnomes.  I built my wedding gnomes by using the Gnome Dies: Bride & Groom, adding a bigger nose and mustache for the fella by using the Gnome Dies. Once I had my gnomes built, I added them to my card front and dressed up the brides gown by adding some pearls for her belt and on her tiara. Adorable!

Adore You Valentine Card

 Hi everyone and happy happy Saturday!

Any fun plans for the weekend? 

I have been trying to get my craft space a bit more organized this past week but decided to take a little break and play with my new club kit from Spellbinders.

Here is a look at what I created:

I started by creating my card base from some white card stock and adhering a piece of light pink cardstock on top. I cut my frame pieces in white and layered them on top of the pink cardstock.  I die cut the inner floral frame out four times so that I could layer them on top of each other and give them a bit of dimension onto my card front. I stamped my floral image, did some simple coloring and then used the coordinating heart dies to cut it out. I wanted it to be even with my floral frame so I layered it with three additional hearts before backing it onto a piece of vellum and adhering it to the center of my window. I added some green leaves to two of the corners, added some pink flowers and completed the look with little tiny pearl centers. I finished my card by adding some white Nuvo drops to the centers of the flowers on the floral frame and a sentiment strip from Simon Says Stamp. 

I just love how this turned out! 

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

--Happy Little Stampers: January Anything Goes with Dies--

I'm So Glad You Happened To Me

Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

Wedding or Anniversary

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I started by covering a white card base with some light coral patterned paper. I cut a piece of polka dot patterned paper slightly smaller and then distressed the edges. I adhered it to my card front at a slight angle and added some doodles with a black sharpie pen. I used the Shapes feature in Cricut Design Space to cut my heart. I hung it off the side a bit and then trimmed off the excess before stamping my sentiment. I used the Sweethearts cartridge to cut out the silhouette of the couple and popped it up onto my card with some foam tape. I used some pink thread to tie a little bow on the girls ponytail and finished my card with some sequins, Nuvo drops and some hearts from punches. I was going for a shabby chic/vintage feel and while I don't think I nailed it, I think turned out pretty lol!

Jaded Blossom's May Release: Morning of the hop

Hi crafty friends!!

Happy Friday!!

Today is day 5 of the Jaded Blossom May Release. Yay!!

Thanks so much for stopping by all week!! 

Here is a quick recap of the projects I made this week......

....and that brings up to today!!

Today we are showcasing She Said Yes and Love and Laughter.

Love and Laughter is the free with purchase stamp set for this release. You can read more about the Freebie stamp over at the Jaded Blossom Blog. 

I decided to make a shaker card using the Love and Laughter stamp set.

I made a square card from some white cardstock and covered it with some pretty patterned papers. I wrapped some light pink crochet thread around my card and tied a little bow. I put that all aside and started building the shaker element. I used the Heart Dies 1 and Heart Dies 2 to create the back of my shaker as well as the frame around the acetate window. I stamped and heat embossed my greeting from the Love and Laughter stamp set onto some heat resistant acetate using some platinum embossing powder. I filled my shaker with some iridescent sequins and silver heart confetti. After my shaker heart was built, I added it to the card. I cut out another heart and overlapped it a bit to bring a little balance. I finished off the card with some pearls in the top corners. 

Here is a look at the sets being showcased today:

I decided to make a card to share with you today.

I created my card base using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 from some white cardstock.

I layered it on top of some silver foil cardstock and striped vellum and added it to my card base.
