Happy Sunday Friends!!!
I am popping in today with some cards that I created. One thing I did was comb thought a TON of previously cut die cuts, stamped images and sentiments for my cards.
For my first card, I used the Freshly Made Sketches #722 as my jump off point. I dug through all my die cuts and found heart borders and a rick rack border to use for the stripes on the sketch. I am also entering this into this round of the Color Hues Challenge #126-Pink and Red. The last challenge that inspired this card is this weeks Inspired By...#374 Love Letters.
The background paper is from an old Honey Bee Stamps-Love Letters paper pad.
I added some extra glitter hearts from another project in some little Altenew Envelopes.
The little stamp is from my stash and I have not clue where it came from. I have to say, I LOVE how this came out!!! Supplies that I can remember are below:
For the next Valentine, I used the Just Us Girls #809, Try a Sketch on Tuesday #688 and the As You See It Challenge #365-Rhapsody in Red.
Once again, the background is pattern paper from the Honey Bee Stamps Love Letters Stamp Pad.
The butterflies and butterfly circle is from Waffle Flower Crafts, as well as the stencil and stamp.
The celebrate sentiment is from my stash, the Valentine's sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.
I used the sketch as a jump off point BUT it is not CAS. Not sure that is a requirement but if it was, I probably should not have used the pattern paper.
Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous little collage of stamps and hearts and little bits! The lips with butterflies are very striking, although I am reminded a little of Mick Jagger with those lips! I think this is a super fun Valentine's card. Thank you for sharing it with us at As You See It. :-)

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are terrific, Nora. I am always so smitten with tiny envelopes and I don't know why. You pulled together some great elements to make both of these fantastic Valentines. The lip background is terrific paper too! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteWhat is not to love about this Valentine? The die cut hearts, the little envelopes, sparkle, cool background and the ric rac....I love it all! Thanks so much for playing at Just Us Girls this week!
ReplyDeleteWell I commented on the wrong card for Just Us Girls, and this second card is so fun with all the lips and the collaged elements with the die cut hearts! Thanks so much for playing!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card! Love the background and the die behind the hearts! Thanks for sharing with us at TSOT!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute valentine day card... love the butterfly frame with the die cut butterflies as your flourish. Fun interpretationof our TSOT sketch challenge and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI had to come back to comment on your first card with the little envelopes and flourish... what a fun card. Love how you used all the layering in the corner and still able to keep your card CAS with a pink background replacing white space... meets all the 3-2-1 recipe "The Mail Must Go On" requirements and optional twists at Double Trouble, a sister challenge of TSOT... please check us out for this challenge and future fun challenges collaborating with TSOT. Hope to see you there.
ReplyDeleteTwo fab Valentines, you did a great job using up all those little bits we all keep for a rainy day! Thanks for joining in at Color Hues. :)
ReplyDeleteAll the kisses on this card make for a fun and unique background! I like the clever way you've incorporated all the elements in the challenge! Thanks for cooking up our recipe at As You See It Challenges!
ReplyDeleteNora both of these cards are fabulous! What a great way to use leftover diecuts purposefully - I think the layering and detailing on both makes them so eye-catching - a visual feast! Thanks for sharing with us over at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteLove both cards and especially those cute little envelopes. Thanks so much for playing along at Inspired By!
