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.

Make Your Own Gradient Colored Cardstock

Hello! Today I am excited to share one of my favorite projects so far this year… I love these sentiments, flower die, and stencil; and when you put them all together they SING!

I love a good sentiment set, and this one from Scrapbook.com is so so good. I have used all the sentiments so far and love the encouragement. I have created a video sharing the process, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

This was the first card I made using the Mum stencil from Scrapbook.com and some of their beautiful inks! I love combining green and blue together and these colors really look great.

I didn’t have gradient cardstock in the colors I wanted, so this inky secret made my flower work!! Watch the video to see how to do this.

The sentiments in Feel Better Sentiments 2 are really great… all of them! It’s so refreshing to find a stamp set with sentiments that I love and will be happy to USE THEM ALL!

I loved this combination so much, that I made a second card using a different set of sentiments. I changed the orientation for this one to make the sentiment fit just right.

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.
