Purrrfect Valentine!

FS522 is the amazing gallery of snietje
aka Anita Bakker! I have loved so many of her wonderful cards and creations.

I found this super cute CARD.

I loved the large pup and used a large cat instead. Stamped the image, cut off the angle and added a black CS. Die cut the mouse and added some sponging to his ear, whiskers and a gem. Punched out the hearts and doodled the sentiment. The eyes on the cat have crystal effects.

I colored the super cute cat the color of my new fur baby Cookie Monster.

Copics Used: 0, Y00, Y11, Y15, Y17, YG91 & R30

Purrrfect Valentine!

Paris Love

CC621 - Black, White & Red

Love the colors. I did a black card base, embossed the white layer, added a white doily, then a very pale pink so it would show a bit with heart embossing. Then a white layer with swiss dot embossing finished off with another white layer with the sentiment and some gems and ribbon. Then added the Paris theme from the Travel set from Green Duck. I added a silver heart for some fun.

Elegant Valentine

The inspiration challenge on SCS today is Pandora. Oh that could get me in trouble. Giggles!!!  I found this stunning Charm!

I loved the hints of red in the silver hearts. I used hints of red and a decorative boarder die cut from Heartfelt Creations as I loved the intricate cut to mirror the intricate cut of the hearts. For the bits of red I used small red flowers and added some liquid pearls in the center. The top layer is popped up on dimensionals. The leaves are die cut from Sue Wilson vines and I used a Cuttlebug EF and finished the card off with some pearls.

Today's Free for All challenge on Splitcoast Stampers - Make a Valentine

I created these super cute Valentines cards for my nieces class using the Green Duck Embellishments. She came over and helped design these adding her own flair to several and offering up suggestions. It was a wonderful way to spend the day with my niece. I sure hope her friends like these cards. The Green Duck Embellishments make them super easy to create with just adding touches of embossed folders or hand doodled lines, DP or sequins.

There is still time to sign up for the give away. Please see the post in the upper right corner of my blog. I will be announcing the name on February 1st.

Today's Featured Stamper challenge is the brilliant gallery of snowqueen. I love so many wonderful creations in her gallery. I found this beauty: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=118730 and love the simplicity of the card. I am finishing up the cards for my nieces Valentines for her class and this design was perfect.

Rather than adding layers to the oval I die cut out the oval on my owls. Then added embossing around the opening. Finished off with a couple of green duck embellishments. For the bottom two I left the ovals out and just embossed the layers with different embossed hearts as Carolyn had used hearts on her card.

Thankful Dog

Wonderful inspiration challenge today at I found this fun t-shirt Image. It made me think of this fun dog from Tim Holtz.

Colored the dog with copics. Then I grabbed my stash of scrap papers and found all these fun patterned papers that all seemed to coordinate. Mounted them on a brown CS and added a sentiment and a punched leaf.

Copics used: C0, C3, C5, C7, C9, R20, R24, R29 & R32

Super fun challenge on SCS. We went Down Under

Did the Smack & Squirt technique that Miss Susie (susie australia) refers to on her cards. I finally got it to work. Thank you Miss Susie for all your help. It finally worked. Once dry I stamped leaves over the BG. Added the DP and ribbon stamped the image and mounted. Finished off with some 3D leaves, flowers and bird.
