I Love You

Hello everyone,

Today's Valentine is much more to my taste. I think it is my favourite so far!

The printed paper is BoBunny Gift of Love Crazy Love More Than Words layered on Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler. The sentiment is TPC Studio Hugs & Kisses stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla and layered on Early Espresso. The embellishments are Recollections. The layers are highlighted with Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen.

I love the colours, the layout, the paper, the brads, really, everything about this card. Though not girly, this could be the one I give to my daughter as it really does say what I feel about her.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello everyone,

I'm still on the Valentine's kick. Today's card uses a card base which I accidentally smeared with ink. It was right on the edge so I either had to get creative or lose the card base.

The card base is inked with Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo and Soft Suede and highlighted with Tattered Angels Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist. The Early Espresso layer is stamped with I {Love} Love wheel. The printed paper is BoBunny Gift of Love Crazy Love Have A Heart which is layered on Pixie Pink. The sentiment is TPC Studio Hugs & Kisses stamped in Early Espresso on Whisper White and layered on Early Espresso. The embellishments are Watermelon and Cocoa Oregon Raindrops.

I can't say this is one of my favourite cards but I don't hate it either. It is probably just a little to 'shabby' for my taste.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Hugs + Kisses

Hello everyone,

Now that I've pulled out my stash of Valentine goodies, I'm on a roll. Let's just see how far my Valentine mojo will stretch.

The printed paper is Making Memories Valentine Paisley layered on Stampin' Up Real Red. The embellishments are Recollections and are affixed to a scrap of Whisper White. The sentiment is TPC Studio Hugs & Kisses stamped in Real Red on Whisper White. The entire card is highlighted with Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen.

This is one of my favourite Valentine papers ever - it has paisley. I only have a few scraps left so I'm trying to use them as judiciously as possible. I originally intended this card for my daughter but I don't think it is as girly as I'd like. I'll stick it in my stash and craft her something more daughterish.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Time For Valentines

Hello everyone,

A week away from Valentines Day and this is the first card I've made. I'm absolutely blaming all the one sheet wonder projects. Maybe I should have done a Valentines one sheet wonder - just kidding - I'll save that for next year.

The printed paper is BoBunny Crush layered on Stampin' Up Real Red. The sentiment, TPC Studio Hugs & Kisses, is stamped in Real Red on Whisper White. It is layered on a strip of Real Red that was cut with Sizzix Heart #8 and highlighted with a black Tombow marker. The embellishments are Multicrafts Keepsakes Memories.

I intend this card for my husband. I never like to make him cards that are too frou frou because if you knew him, you'd know that just isn't him. I found this particular paper appealing because of the black.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Happy Anniversary

Hello everyone,

My parents are celebrating their 49th wedding anniversary this week. It is an amazing accomplishment in this day and age. I've crafted this card to mark their special day.

The background paper is TPC Studio Wedding Silhouette Tapestry Stripe. The sentiment is Inkadinkado stamped in Nick Bantock Charcoal Grey on Stampin' Up Very Vanilla and layered on Canford Gold. The embellishments are TPC Studio Wedding Silhouette Mini Jewels.

I really love this card. The layout, sentiment and embellishments were kept really simple so this fabulous paper could just shine. I didn't have anything in particular in mind when I was thinking of this card. It all came together when I shifting through my paper stash and I found this sheet. It was perfect!

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

New Baby Boy

Hello everyone,

Believe it or not, today's card is not a one sheet wonder. It was commissioned for a colleague whose wife is expecting a baby boy. I've been dying to use this cute paper.

The card base is Gina K Pure Luxury card stock. The printed paper is Little Yellow Bicycle Babysauraus Dinos All over. The blue paper is of unknown origin which is layered on Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip. The sentiment is Papertrey Ink Signature Greetings stamped and layered in Chocolate Chip. The embellishments are K&Company Rough & Tumble Dinosaurs.

I love these little dinosaurs! They are so perfect for this baby boy card. I think this card will work perfectly for my colleague.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
