Hello! Just popping in to say I have a bunch of Valentines cards to share, and I’m over on the Maker Forte Blog with all the details! Check out the post HERE. I will share all the pictures here, but be sure to head over to the Maker Forte blog to see how these were made.

Hello, today I’m making a GOAT Valentine (greatest of all time!) using Miss Ink Stamps. This Punny Goat set really makes me smile, and the sentiment “You make my Heart Bleat” was too cute! So with a little ink blending, stenciling, coloring, and fussy cutting…we will get this cute card.
Watch the video for all the details AND hear my funny story about a goat:

Hello again! It’s that time again…time to create some Valentine’s for your loved ones. Today I have a Valentine Conversation Heart Bear card to share. I was inspired by those conversation heart candies released at this time of year. I never eat them (do you like them?) but they sure are cute for a sweet message!
After I made this card, I ran out to get some just for this photo shoot. Lol!
I have a video showing you masking techniques and coloring techniques for this one-layer card. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I loved this set so much, that I made a second card using the box of chocolates! This time, I went a little more formal with blacks and reds as the color scheme:
Happy Valentine’s Day! I call it Hug Day, but I guess right now Hugs are a little difficult to get. At least you can still get chocolate!
Hello! Today I have a card and video to share using the critters from the Hedgehog Hollow December Kit. I love these critters and so today I’m featuring FOUR of them as well as some fun techniques. I’m sharing ink smooshing, glitter, and gel techniques in todays card!
For the tutorial, watch my video below or in HD on YouTube:
To begin, I put four colors of Distress ink on my craft mat and spritzed it with water. Then I “smooshed” the bristol cardstock into the ink. I did this several times, drying the card with my heat tool in between each time.
Once I got it to a pretty stage, I allowed it to dry completely and then added some Metallix gel in Pearl White through the tree stencil. This gives a fun pearly shine.
I colored up the critters very simply and used some of the glitter in the box to add to their scarves and clothing. To do this, I simply added some liquid glue to the spots I wanted and sprinkled on the glitter. I allowed it to dry for a time before I shook off the excess glitter.
I cut out one of the toner sentiments from the kit, and added some NEW foil in the color Glass Slipper. I love this color! I ran it thru the Minc machine on the setting of 3.
Once the gel was dry, I added some green to the leaves using a Copic marker. Then I attached all the critters and sentiment to the card with foam squares.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello! It’s THE week…the week that Santa Claus is coming to town! So today I have a special Santa Sleigh card, using TWO stencils that fit together perfectly! These are from Maker Forte and they are a dream to work with.
I started with Perfect Blend paper because it’s so smooth and makes it SO easy to ink blend. I added some Kaleidoscope powders in the new colors Yellowstone & Asteroid. These look so awesome and dreamy!
Check out the short video below, or in HD on YouTube to see how this all comes together:
Just look how that powder shines on this card:
