Heart Critters

I'm playing along at Shopping Our Stash where this time the theme is Love Me Do. Shopping Our Stash reminds us to get the most out of the products we already have. My card today is made with the Pretty Pink Posh Heart Critters stamp set! They're perfect for your Valentine's of all ages and they come together quick!

My card starts with a Distress Oxide background in Shaded Lilac, Kitsch Flamingo, Carved Pumpkin, Fossilized Amber and Twisted Citron! When I find a color combination that I like I make several at a time. I splattered the panel with water, some watered down Salty Ocean and Dr. P.H. Martins Bleed Proof White ink - it's my favorite for extra white splatter!

I trimmed the panel slightly smaller than my card base and then adhered the Heart Critters with adhesive foam tape to add dimension. The little critters are colored with Copic markers, but the clean line designs will look great no mater what your favorite media. This set even includes sentiments with coordinating die cuts!

I scattered some of the hearts from the set as well as some shimmery pearls in shades to match the background inks. Pretty Pink Posh has a color that will match ALL your projects!

I hope you're keeping warm on this cold winter day! I think the best way to do that is to stay inside and MAKE IT ALL! Hugs!

Christmas Cheer!

Have you seen the newest collection from Pretty Little Studio? It's called Candy Cane and it's just gorgeous!

I'm loving the bright colors, cheerful prints and images in this collection. My favorites would have to be the die cut strings of garland and fun hand drawn florals and foliage.

I used a clear sticker sentiment on my card today. I simple stuck it on a piece of white cardstock and then die cut it with and oval die. You could easily use a punch in another shape. This collection even has clear sticker faux stitches for embellishing.

I used some stacked frames to create a focal point for the sentiment and then topped it with a great big poinsettia die cut. A string of garland wraps around the sentiment drawing your eye down to the sticker stitches.

It's never a bad time to start working on your holiday cards, and when this paper is so pretty it feels magical making!

Snow Much Fun!

Today I'm playing at Just Add Ink where this time you're asked to add something seasonal. With the big winter storm taking up all the headlines how can I resist adding a snowman?

Sometimes I wish I could hold onto the joy of a child when they see the magic in snowfall. I suppose as we grow up it seems like more of a burden.. clearing the walks, making sure that our families are safe and warm and fed.

For my card today I created a snowy background of Chill In The Air pattern papers. Dots become snowfall, and die cut waves are drifts of snow.

I stamped the sentiment directly on the pattern paper and then die cut, assembled, and adhered the snowman into the scene. A few gems - the berries on his hat and larger ones in the air add some sparkle and shine.

I hope you're keeping warm and are able to sit indoors and enjoy the beauty of the snow today.
