Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper is the perfect backdrop for this Valentine's Card. And guess what I found in the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set that I just got? The perfect "I Love You" greeting!
To add some extra dimension to this card, I used the Dotty Hearts embossing folder on a small layer inside the stitched rectangle. So sweet, I think! Have you started your Valentine's cards yet?
Oh wow...it's time to flashback 60 years to the VW Minibus days! Weren't these just a hoot? For their design it always looked like they were too top heavy and would tip but alas, they trundled along famously.
Today's card from Driving By - yours free with a min. $60 order during Sale-A-Bration - just makes me smile at the memory and the bright fun colours. I enjoyed colouring in the minibus and using this fun fold.
To create the fold, score your 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card base at both 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". Fold back the 2 1/8" panel and add your layered circles with the focal image on it. Leaves a spot on the inside to add a thin strip of the matching patterned paper (Sunshine & Rainbows which is also FREE with a min. $60 order in Canada). So cute and a great way to use up those case off pieces from your 6" x 6" papers. Enjoy!
What a great idea, right? Drop all those responsibilities and commitments and just run out into a meadow and chase butterflies. Well...I might need to wait a few months as it's currently -21C here in Southern Ontario. But Spring is coming, I just know it!
Today's card features the absolutely adorable girl from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set Catching Butterflies. I can't get over how sweet she is! I stamped the images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink so that I could use my Stampin' Blends for deep rich colouring. I ended up stamping the butterfly flock (is it a flock?) twice and the colours used were: Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron. What do you think?
It's January 2022 and we're in a pseudo-lockdown so no flying off to the islands for this Canadian right now, but I'm still getting my Island Vibes! The Sale-A-Bration stamp set is the same name, Island Vibes, has fine detail in each of the stamps. To add more texture to the stamped layer, I ran it through the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder after stamping. How's that for packing a WOW?!?!
