Motorcycle Birthday

 

WT885 - Easily Done: any type of easel card, images including easels

I really love this flame stencil from Honeybee Stamps. This is the third card in the last 2 weeks I have used it. I can't get enough of it.

After I created the flame background I cut the pieces of this motorcycle die cut from The Ton and layered. I then die cut the sentiment, stamped the inside sentiment and added some punched hearts.

The card fold is an easel fold so the card front can be propped up.

XOXO

 

FS784 - This week's Featured Stamper is the very talented diane morales.  I found this super sweet CARD Perfect colors for a Valentine card and I love the stripes on the background layer with the image over it.

USEIT2022 - XOXO paper

This XOXO paper was a freebee from Honey Bee stamps with one of my purchases. I needed to get it used up as it is smaller and does not fit in my paper cubbies. When I saw Diane's card I immediately thought of this paper with the lines of text.

I cut the layers, die cut the XOXO and then white heat embossed the sentiment on black placing the sentiment in the bottom corner as she has on her card. Rather than sequins I used some pink gems.

Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today. I appreciate you taking the time to say hello.

Negative and Positive Hearts

 

IC845 - Window Display Pinterest Boards, this is my INSPIRATION

I loved the negative space on the heart in the window. I used scraps of papers to create my card base then die cut out the heart from the base. I then embossed another heart and added it to the open space and stamped the sentiment popping it up on dimensionals.

Since I did not want to waste the die cut heart I used it on a second card and embossed a script layer and layered it on pink then stamped that sentiment popping it up on dimensionals as well.

Negative and Positive Hearts

Happy Valentine's Day

 

F4A624 Unusual or Different Design

For me, doing a smaller than A2 is very different for me. I actually have these cards bases that I have been collecting for over a year because I just can't seem to make smaller than A2. This challenge pushed me to use them.

I needed a few more Valentine's Day cards and recently purchased this die cut from Simon Says Stamps. I sponged ombre' red to pink on the top card then cut it and glued it to an embossed card base. I finished it with some punched hearts.

The second card I cut several different shades of pinks and used it for both the second and 3rd card. On the second card I added some sponging around the edge and on the 3rd I left it white.

For all 3 cards I heat embossed the sentiments on black card stock and pupped them up in dimensionals.

Happy Valentine's Day

 WT882 - Bargello or Herringbone Technique

I really wanted to try the Bargello technique and have been sorting through my paper scraps. This technique is perfect for scrappy cards.

I cut the strips, glued to a card stock, cut them again and then glued to another card stock layer. I then die cut the layers, stamped the sentiment and added this cute pup from my friend Polly (peeps321 - thank you Polly).

This is for my monthly pet donation.

Many Thanks
