Valentine

Hi everyone!

 Today I made a cute Valentine card to share with you.

I used the Lawn Fawn stamp called Let's Toast to make this very quick and easy card.

Don't you just love those sweet little smiley faces?!

These are the supplies I used with links to the Dies R Us Store 

Lawn Fawn - Let's Toast

Gorjuss Hello

Hi 

 Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Addicted to Stamps challenge. 

This month aNNie chose the theme " anything but a square".

I decided to try my hand at doing a rocker card:

Here's the supplies I used:

I like the way the card turned out, however I did learn something important.

Because I wanted her to look like she was sitting on the fold,

 I die cut the Papertrey Die shape out of white cardstock and

 stamped and colored her with Copics markers.Then I fussy cut the areas below 

the line she's sitting on and then attached this background shape 

to the back of the folded circle gluing her legs to the front of the circle.

Well, looks great...but to be able to open the circle to write a message

you would be folding the image in half ( not sure I would like that!)

Could be why all the other rocker cards I saw had the smaller shaped attached on the front!

 Duh! Live and learn I guess!

'till next time,

Doni

Color Challenge

Hi! 

I have the honor of being a Guest Designer for February over at SplitCoast Stampers

on their Color Challenge.  This week Stef has chosen night of navy, blushing bride, very vanilla 

and a metallic of your choice. The desert option is to use a die cut or a punched element.

Here's what I came up with:

 

I really like the look of the gold embossing on the soft pink vellum.

 ( I don't even want to think about how old that vellum is!) 

here's a closer look:

I hope you're inspired to play along with this challenge.

'till next time,

Valentine's Day Shaker

Hello!

It's my turn to do a tutorial for Dies R Us.
I had fun making a heart shaped shaker card.

Here's some of the supplies I used :

My first step was to die cut a 4 inch Dotted Square from designer paper. 

Then I cut out the heart shape from the center.

Next step is to adhere clear acetate onto the back side.

Then I wanted to layer the shaker front onto a 4 1/2" pink square,

so I needed to remove the center so you could still see through the heart.

To make it a shaker, use foam tape on the back ( I used 2 layers).

 

cut a piece 4 1/2' square out of whatever paper you want

 to see behind your heart (I used plain white) and sprinkle all your  shaker goodies in the center.

remove the covering from the foam tape on the back of the heart

 and center that panel over this and the shaker part is done! Hurray!

Attach the love die cut to the shaker front and then put the whole thing 

on a square card base and you're done!

Supplies used:

Tutti Designs - Dotted nesting squares


Tutti Designs - stitched nesting hearts

 Poppy - little halo love

Thanks for stopping by.

'till next time,
Doni
