Love/Valentine Card ~ Sparklin' Love {2nd Post}

Sparkler Ellie is back to play but this time her sparkler is shooting out hearts.
It's too cold for her to go out with no sleeves so I added them.
Next I gave her closed toe shoes and tights.
I used the teeny tiny hearts leftover when cutting the scalloped heart border.
For a little bit of bling I added the sequins
I tucked the sentiment under the embossed frame.
To finish the card off I added 3 metal hearts

*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Sparkler Ellie from The Paper Nest Dolls
*Sentiment from the No Matter What stamp set from Verve Stamps.

Love/Valentine Card ~ All I Need Is You {1st Post}

I started out with the week 3 Viva la Verve sketch

and these cute little bears

then let my creative imagination go from there.

First I found these two matching design papers in my matstack stash.

I used the stripes for the background

and the polka-dots to frame up the metal Love brad.

I die cut the heart then embossed it.

Next I added the heart trim where everything meets behind the bears.

I framed up the cute Valentine sentiment and tucked it in with the others.

 

 

*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Bears image called A Gentle Touch from Crafty Sentiments.
*Sentiment from the No Matter What stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Heart cut using the Classic Hearts die set from Spellbinders.
*Embossed using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.
*Scalloped heart border called from Scalloped Tri Trio from Verve Stamps.

Thank You Card ~ Shades of Blue {2nd Post}

When I was making my 1st card
I made this framed up snow scene too big
to fit the way I wanted it to on the hourglass cut
so what's a girl to do? Make another card of course.
This time I added an embossed background,
a ribbon/bow and some snowflakes with tiny buttons inside.
The vellum snowflake on the sentiment
is being held on by a mini paper clip.

 



*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Card front embossed using the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirl folder.
*Snow scene from the Snow Scenes stamp set from Flourishes.
*Sentiment from the With Gratitude stamp set from Flourishes.

*Buttons from my stash.
*Vellum from my stash.
*Stazon Jet Black stamp pad.
