I usually only make two Valentine's Day cards a year. Now, since my mother has passed on I'm down to making only one. The remaining one is for my other love of my life Rose. Although we don't always agree on everything, she still supports me in everything that I do, even the crazy thing I get into.


The card I am posting today, may and may not be the one she will get this year, but she will get one.


The card that I have made today is from a stamp set from "The Angel Company". It contains 8 images and is called "Furry Friends" #T-3245. All of the images are of dogs and cats. Very cute and small.

The main card is an easel card that I cut using the Spellbinder die "Classic Scalloped Heart". All of the mats on this card were cut with the same set of dies.


Here is the card;


"From my heart"


The main colors for this card, brown and hot pink. I used a Cuddlebug embossing folder to emboss the mat. The embossing folder is call "Heart Blocks", which is very appropriate for this card.

I have to reveal one thing. When it comes to making bows, I get my wife to do them, she has it down to an art. The image was colored with my Copic Markers as usual.

Hope you enjoy my effort and will leave a comment.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"Natural Beauty"

I have one thing to say, "I've had enough of winter". With that said, I'll start thinking about spring.

The card I made today is of a lily. The stamp is from "The Stamping Studio" and from thier flower of month series. Which I enjoyed very much.

It was a quick card, but interesting to make. The lily was colored with copic markers. The flowers on the left side were hand made using a punch and some remaining paper from the card. I added some Stickles to the center of the flower.

Here is the card;

"Natural Beauty"

I was trying something different with the grounding colors on this card. Instead of straight one color shading, I have used two colors to for the grounding. First I dotted the area to be grounded, then I used the lighter to blend the dots. It gives it a little different effect.


My question is, "Do you like the effect or not"?


Remember you comments and questions are always welcome.


Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"Count The Waves"

It's surprising how much stuff you have, that you put away and forget about. Yesterday I was going through some drawers, when I came across six corner,border punches by Fiskars that I honestly forgot about.


The punch I used on todays card is called "A Tisket,A Tasket Border and Corner Punch" by Fiskars. The limits on these punches is that the paper being punch needs to have even number dimensions i.e. 4.0"X5.0" or 3.0"X 4.0". The really do a nice job on the corners and borders. They are very simple and easy to use.

The card I am posting today was made using one of these punches and the stamp used for the card is from "Just-Rite Stamps".

Here is the card I made.


"Count The Waves"



I used the Fiskars punch mentioned above plus some "Spellbinders" dies. Here is a close-up of the image;



The orange diagonal stripe on the card was cut using the Fiskars punch. A few dots of Gold Stickles was added to the card to give it some bling. The image was colored with Copic Markers.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!
