Friend is Another word for Love

By on February 13, 2019 in Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hi again! Today I have a sweet little Valentine card for a friend. I used the Gina K Design Wreath builder to stamp this sweet little bird four times to create a circle. The bird is from a cute little set I got from Gina K at Creativation called “All You Need is Love”. (Thank you, Gina!)

Originally, I was going to color the birds like a little robin and I started out with the red Copics, but then I thought I’d go all out for Valentines! Why not? Pink birds are fun, right? 🙂

The sentiment is also from that sweet bird set called “All You Need is Love.”

I die cut the word “Friend” from satin mirror cardstock from Tonic. It’s my new favorite paper! It’s not super shiny because of the satin finish, but it has a sheen to it that is just lovely! It’s difficult to get the effect in a photo. Here’s a close up:

The little “feather” the bird is carrying is actually a branch from the Holiday Wreath Builder stamp set and is stamped with Catherine Pooler ink in Party Dress (love that color!) I thought this branch really did look like a feather! How perfect for my card.

Isn’t this a fun little Valentine for your favorite girlfriend?

To finish up this card, I matted the bird wreath onto black paper and then grey paper and adhered it all onto a white 110# card base.

I hope you enjoyed this project today! Happy Valentine’s day….tomorrow!

With Love Hedgehogs

By on August 2, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have my first project to share using the August 2018 Hedgehog Hollow subscription box. This box is full of cute hedgehogs and a Global Love set that I know you will just love. If you haven’t seen what’s included in this box, see my unboxing video below.

But first, here is my card where I created a one-layer masked Hedgehog grouping all wanting to say hello!

Aren’t they cute!?! At first I wanted to make this card because of Alexandra, the creator of the Hedgehog Hollow boxes…she has 2 girls and they call themselves “the Prickle” (of hedgehogs). But I needed FIVE hedgehogs to make my card grouping look correct…so one of them could be gramps or grandma! Lol. (What do you say, Alexandra?!)

Just look at these cuties:

I colored them up using Copics in E50, E31, E27 and added R20 for the rosy cheeks! They are such a happy family. I colored up the envelope using some Cool Greys and added a glittery heart. The yellow heart paper accent is from last month’s Sunny Studio box…I love those papers!

I used the small flower images in the background, heat embossed in white so as to resist the background blue Distress Ink color.

I hope you enjoyed this project today! Below is the unboxing video…take a look here or on YouTube:
