Thinking of You

 

MMTPT706 - use a card making technique that you love to do…Share what brings you joy.

Recently I have found a lot of joy clearing out a bunch of scrap papers. It is a great feeling to use up smaller scraps to help clear out my smaller bits.

For this background I cut a bunch of my green designer papers with a diamond die cut then glued them to a cardstock layer. I then die cut that layer with a decorative border and layered on the card.

I finished the card with a die cut flower, popped the sentiment up on dimensionals and added a couple of gems to the flower.

Happy Valentine's Day

 

FS782 - Kathy aka Carolinakathy is this weeks very talented Featured Stamper. I found this amazing INSPIRATION

I loved the long strip across the front of the card. I used a long strip across the front of the card and added embossing to it rather than glitter. I then embossed the bottom of the card, stamped the sentiment over the strip and used two punched hearts from my stash.

I finished with a little sponged flower and added Nuvo Drops.

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine Heart

 

FS780 - marilynmac is this weeks incredibly talented Featured Stamper. I found this gorgeous card: Filigree Heart by marilynmac at Splitcoaststampers

I am working on Valentine's cards for friends and family and Marilyn's card was perfect inspiration for my card.

I kept the bold black and white colors on my card and added a smaller heart as the focal using a different card layout. For my base I used a fun patterned paper rather than music and the paper had pink so I accented with a pink DP that has some glitter.

The card was finished with a few Nuvo Drops.
