Love & Love Bug Tags

Hello! I know it’s already after Valentine’s Day, but these tags can be used really almost any time….Love can be shared at any time! So I thought I’d still share.

It took me a little longer to edit and get this video posted, but it’s finally here! Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

These are so fun and easy to make…and cute, too!

I managed to take a photo of the Love bug tags on the cookies before they all were picked up by my family!

Love Letters

Hello! Today I have some love letters to share, with some of my favorite dies! These little envelopes are so fun to create with and they are perfect for some Valentines.

Today I am creating alcohol ink panels (that are super easy and stress-free!) for die cutting some of the images. This creates a fun look…

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I also pulled together some patterned paper for some of the elements. When you put them all together, they create the sweetest little Valentine cards.

For this card, I used the purple inked panel to die cut the Kisses sentiment and the hearts. Some patterned paper makes a cute envelope…I used some vellum on the inside of an envelope to soften the pattern.

The background is made with the dotted cover die that I inked with a pink ink. (See the video for the details).

This one uses the same design…just mixing up the colors. The envelope is die cut with an inked panel, and the sentiment and hearts are cut from black cardstock.

For this one, I mixed it up even more! Bringing in a Mega Love die that I cut from an alcohol inked background. I love the bold sentiment on a woodgrain background (this paper is from my stash and probably years and years old).

This last one uses Rose Gold mirror card for the envelope (oh la la!) with a patterned paper background. I die cut some Xs and Os and built them up with many layers.

Froggie Valentine

Hello! Today I’m up at the Hedgehog Hollow blog sharing the newest kit and 2 cards. I couldn’t resist that little frog in the kit, so I made a Frog Valentine!

I first stamped the images in Eclipse Black ink, then I stenciled that heart around the frog using Yellowstone ink (trying to avoid the frog image). I colored up the frog with Copic markers.

Don’t forget about the small images. The stamp set had a small envelope image and it looks so cute as a decorative background! I stamped this with Flamingo ink (a new favorite of mine!)

I added some extra dimension by outlining the hearts with a light green marker, and the envelopes with a light grey marker.

BONUS CARD:

But I couldn’t just stop there! I made another card using the same layout, but different colors and images.
