Sympathy Card ~ Heartfelt Sympathy {1st Post}

It is Friday so that means it is time to share in a little Unity fun.
I'm playing along with their Friends With Flair challenge.
This is my first time to use this sweet stamp even though I've had it for a while.

Luckily I am not in need of a sympathy card at this time 

but I found that that is the best time for me to make them.

When I wait to make them when I need them 

it is so much harder for me to complete them.

I tried to keep it on the CAS side so the sentiment would be the focal point.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Sympathy-Thinking of You stamp from Unity Stamps.
*Embossed using the Cuttlebug Polka Dots folder from Provo Craft.
*BV00 and VG03 markers from Copics.
*Memento Black stamp pad from Memento.

May your day always be filled with love.

Crafty hugs,

Love/Valentine Card ~ Valentine Birdies

I have a little shaker card to share.

I thought these little love birds would make a sweet Valentine card.

I stamped them, colored their bows then fussy cut them out.

I created a sentiment shaker for the girl bird to perch on.

The boy bird is perched on my hand cut banners.

I added a little love in the air with my embossed panel.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Birds from the Black Tie Birdies stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Sentiment from the No Matter What stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Heart cut using the From the Heart die set from Verve Stamps.
*Embossed using the Cuttlebug Cross My Heart folder from Provo Craft.
*Circles cut using the Nesting Circles die set from We R Memory Keepers.
*BV23 marker from Copics.
*Worn Lipstick Distress Marker from Ranger.
*London Fog stamp pad from Memento.

May your day always be filled with love.

Love/Valentine Card ~ Arrows and Envies

I really enjoyed creating with the Mojo Monday sketch 

yesterday so I used it for this card, too.

I started by cutting the front panel from design paper.

Next I stamped then fussy cut the envelope.

Then I added a heart and a few die cut arrows.

To finish off my card I stamped the sentiment directly 

on the design paper then added a few sequins.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Envelope from the Take Note stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Sentiment from the No Matter What stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Heart cut using the From the Heart die set from Verve Stamps.
*Arrow cut using the Arrow Die from Verve Stamps.
*Holiday Sequin Mix and Pink Sparkle Sequin Mix from Verve Stamps.
*Tuxedo Black stamp pad from Memento.

May your day always be filled with love.

Love/Valentine Card ~ Love You {Lots}

When I first saw the Mojo Monday sketch
this week I knew I wanted to make a card with it.
First I used the masking technique to create my front panel.
After stamping the poppies I colored them with a red Copic
marker then darkened their centers with a black one.
Next I embossed the back panel with this great arrow folder.
Then I added the sentiment using the die cut heart.
 To finish off my card I tucked the hand cut banners under
the heart sentiment and added a little heart shaped sequin.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Flower from the Poppy Birthday stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Sentiment from the No Matter What stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Heart cut using the Wavy Hearts die set from Verve Stamps.
*Embossed using the Arrow #2 folder from Sizzix.
*Tuxedo Black stamp pad from Memento.
*R37 and 100 markers from Copics.

May your day always be filled with love.

Hi

Hopefully I will have time and energy to craft something to share later...

I'm still feeling under the weather. The party has moved to my lungs.

I literally slept all day yesterday... anywho 

In the meantime I like to wish Paper Smooches a happy 4th anniversary

Paper Smooches

Hugs,

Dawn
