Pretty Pink Posh - Heart Cover Plate Duo

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back with this duo of Pretty Pink Posh Heart Cover Plate cards which are totally screaming Valentine's Day. I actually had the gorgeous Cupid & Co 6x6 paper pack by Echo Park in my stash, and decided to make a good use of it by creating a set of cards.

I started off with the shaker card, and cut my Heart Cover Plate panel out of a floral pattern paper. I put the inside hearts aside for later, and only kept the panel with six heart openings. I attached an acetate panel at the back of it, added foam strips on the four edges and between the window openings as well, and poured some Valentine Hearts Confetti and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins inside the six windows.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel using a less bold pattern paper from the pack, removed the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached that panel on the foam strips to close my shaker panel.

Next I decorated the front of my panel. I first cut a frame out of kraft cardstock using a rectangle frame die from my stash, and attached it using 1mm foam squares. I also cut five tiny bows using a die from Heart Cover Plate and a bigger one using a die from Holiday Mug Additions, and I stuck those pieces to my panel using 1mm foam squares.

For my greeting, I used the Be Mine Shadow dies, and cut the words "Be mine" out of gold mirror cardstock, as well as the shadow out of vellum. I layered and glued both pieces on top of each other, and then attached my greeting in the middle of my panel using 1mm foam squares to finish my card.

Next I moved on to the second card, and cut a Heart Cover Plate panel out of a light pink pattern paper from the Cupid & Co 6x6 paper pack by Echo Park. I attached that panel on a white card base using liquid glue, grabbed the remaining floral hearts from the first card, and stuck them on three of the blank heart spots using 1mm foam squares.

I used the Heart Cover Plate die again to cut three more hearts out of red cardstock that I attached on my panel on the three remaining blank heart spots. I cut another rectangle frame out of kraft cardstock that I stuck on my panel using 1mm foam squares. I did the same as before about my greeting and about the bow decorations, and then finished this second card by gluing a few 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins and Valentine Heart Confetti here and there.

Sunny Studio - Love Monkey Shaker Card + Matching Treat Bag Topper

Hello there,

I'm so thrilled to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with my first Sunny Studio project of the year, and I'm so excited about the new items from the Spring 2024 release! As you may or may not know, I am for mixing and matching new stuff with older stuff. Here my new stuff is the Treat Bag Topper, and my older stuff is Love Monkey, which I used for the very first time, and that was so fun!

As very often, I started off with the coloring and stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and used my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers to color everything. And as you can see, I went for traditional Valentine colors ^^

Next I cut two identical Strathmore bristol smooth square panels and colored them both using a cloudy stencil along with spun sugar and worn lipstick oxide inks. I kept one of those two panels and cut a heart window out of it using the largest Stitched Heart 2, attached a piece of acetate at the back, on the front I stamped my "Swinging by to say I love you" greeting from Love Monkey on the acetate using black Stazon ink, and at the back of my panel I added foam strips all along the heart window, following its shape, and on the four sides as well. I poured some iridescent heart confetti and Red & Pink Heart Confetti on the acetate, and then stuck my second cloudy panel to the foam strips to totally close my shaker.

I attached my shaker panel on a larger red panel from Holiday Cheer, and stuck my images using 1mm foam squares. Added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then moved on to the Treat Bag Topper.

I started off by cutting the small stitched panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock and colored it the same way as my card using spun sugar and worn lipstick oxide inks. I stamped my "For my little love monkey" greeting from Love Monkey on the right side, cut the main Treat Bag Topper piece out of the same red Holiday Cheer paper as before, and attached my small stitched panel on the main piece using liquid glue. I stuck the images using 1mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and finally added a cute little bow on the handle.

Pretty Pink Posh January 2024 Release Instagram Hop - Sweet Chocolates

Hi there,

Join me and a bunch of amazingly talented crafters over on Instagram to celebrate the brand new Pretty Pink Posh January 2024 Release! Chocolates, cupcakes and hearts, everything you need for Valentine, and also some adorable St Patrick themed products!

Please check my post on Instagram for more details about this hop.

*****

I started off by stamping my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers. Lots of red, light pinks and browns! Along with the images from Sweet Chocolates, I picked one of the cupcakes from Valentine Cupcakes.

Once the coloring was done, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and colored it using tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks. And to make this background more interesting, I used the Layered Heart Lattice stencils along with broken china oxide ink again. I mixed some broken china oxide ink with water and used a small brush to add splatters to my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I created a two-part greeting using stamps from Sweet Chocolates. I white heat embossed the word "Sweet" on black cardstock, and cut it using the matching die. I also white heat embossed the words "You are" on light pink cardstock, and trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die.

I attached everything on my Layered Heart Lattice panel using 1mm foam squares, added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and finished the card by applying some morning dew nuvo drops on the hearts for a sparkling touch.

Lawn Fawn - Party Deer Birthday Card

Hi there,

I'm back on Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel & Blog with my very first Lawn Fawn card of the year featuring two of my favorite things in card making which are doing a landscape using stencils, and mixing and matching a bunch of images from different sets to create a super cute scene. And I'm showcasing the super cute Party Deer, which is the exclusive free gift you can get at Lawn Fawn during the month of your birthday.

I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using stencils and oxide inks. On the lower part of the panel, I created two grass borders using a Hillside stencil along with mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks. And on the upper part, I created a forest using a Birch Tree stencil along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks.

I stamped my images using Jet Black ink, used the matching dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. I also stamped five different greetings inside the speech bubbles, and white heat embossed my "Happy birthday, my deer" greeting from Party Deer at the bottom of my panel.and I'm going to color everything using my alcohol markers.

Next I assembled and attached all the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and as always finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Today's card features the absolutely gorgeous Elegant Banner Heart die, and to make this beautiful intricate design pop, I decided to keep it white and to layer it on top of a rainbow background. And also to make it a shaker card for the fun part.

So I started off by cutting my Elegant Banner Heart panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and I also cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of the same cardstock that I colored using oxide inks: kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, salvaged patina, tumbled glass and shaded lilac. I mixed a little bit of black soot oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I attached an acetate panel at the back of my white Elegant Banner Heart panel, and added foam strips on the four edges. I poured some Colorful Hearts confetti and some 3mm sparkling clear sequins on the acetate, removed the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached my rainbow panel to the foam to totally close my shaker panel.

Next I cut a frame out of kraft cardstock using a rectangle frame die from my stash, and attached it on my shaker panel using 1mm foam squares, and finally I cut my "Hugs & kisses" greeting from Elegant Banner Heart out of gold mirror cardstock, and attached the letters on the banner section of the panel.
