It’s all about the love… I’ve made today’s card for the Flourishes new release “season of love” challenge. It may sound corny, but I always feel like I’m coming home when I use Flourishes’ stamps! I really love them, and feel so comfortable using them. I’m sure we all have stamps like like that. This is one of my favorites, so it was perfect for this card! I stamped the image first and colored it with Copics: R20, R29, V01, YG93, YG99 I was inspired by a mosaic tutorial by Beate, and it brought to mind my little used stained glass backgrounder. So I thought I’d show it some love, and inked it up with versamark ink. I stamped it directly over the image and heat embossed in clear embossing powder. Using my Tim Holtz ink applicator I sponged over the entire area with pink pirouette ink, and then buffed it with a paper towel. I cut the image out with my Spellbinders Nesties Labels One dies and popped it up on foam adhesive tape. …
I just had to make a Valentine card with this sweet Jillibean Soup paper! It’s called dry sherry from the Cold Raspberry line. Doesn’t that just sound so yummy? I love the kraft and rich red color combination for a Valentine too. I also had fun using my new Cricut Expression for the elements of this card. Did any of you get a Cricut Expression for Christmas? Have you taken it out of the box yet? If you were waiting for an easy project idea to get you started, go ahead, get it out, plug it in and let’s have some fun with our new Cricuts! There are some basic cuts in this card to warm you up to your Cricut; I’m already in love with it! I started by cutting my card base at 5 ½” x 4 ¼” in Bazzil red card stock. The next layer is a piece of white card stock cut to 5 ¼” x 4”. Using the Cricut, I cut the Jillibean Soup paper using the Accent Essentials Accent47 …
