Beautiful Day

This card was made for a family member with the new Hero Arts set "You're So Lovely" inside the masked area with multiple colors of ink.  Dies used were MFT Stitched and Dotted Rectangle die sets, along with Paper Smooches hearts, and Paper Smooches Dotted Borders used to make curved masking panels to create center panel of flowers and leaves.  Also used sponge daubers and Rainstones from Papertrey Ink.  Finished off with Gelly Roll Glitter pen on tiny hearts and only the darker pink flowers.  You can see some of the shimmer in the close up picture below.  Entering this in Hero Arts Fabulous Flowers Challenge and in the Hero Arts Bit of Sparkle Challenge

Happy For You

I made this card for the StampTV MIUM Weekly Challenge to use Kraft - I love Kraft cardstock, I think it looks simple and elegant!  I used stamps from the new GKD Made With Love kit, from the Made With Love set, Spectrum Noir markers, black ink, sentiment is from the incentive set "Massive Messages" that StampTV offered with the new kit, dotted die is from Paper Smooches Dots and Dashes die set and the bling is from The Dollar Store!

Happy Stamping!!!

Gracious Words

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  I made this card for a family member - just love this new stamp I got from Verve Stamps - it really is so sweet.  I combined it with stamps and bee die from Gina K Designs "Friends to the End" set little bee, buzzing, and flowers.  I used a Tim Holtz stencil called Honeycomb and inked over it lightly with black ink on a Kraft panel that was die cut with MFT stitched rectangle die, and used the MFT dotted rectangle die for the sentiment, then inked the edges of it.  Bee was popped up on fun foam, colored with Spectrum Noir markers and Wink of Stella, flowers were also colored with the same items.  Tiny twine bow is a die from Waffle Flower. 

I will enter this in the Stamp TV MIUM Challenge but it's not eligible to win because I didn't use exclusively GKD stamps - I'm going to try to get one made later today that actually follows the rules!  I do like the way this one turned out with the combination of stamps from Verve and GKD!

Here's a view where you can see a little of the Wink of Stella on the flowers....

I Ruff You

This card makes me smile - just love that cute dog peeking over the fence!  This card was made with stamps from the Your Next Stamp "I Ruff You" set, the sentiment, the dog and the paw prints stamped on the vellum panel.  Supplies used:  patterned paper from GKD, stitched circle dies from Memory Box, heart punch, Spectrum Noir markers, vellum and cardstock from my stash.

Entering this in Your Next Stamp Sketch and Color Challenge #32  ( I used circles instead of squares for the center panels.)and The Paper Players #281 Raining Dogs and Cats Challenge

Happy Mail!

Another Valentine card done, yay!  I used dies from Paper Smooches (Hearts, Dots & Dashes) for the silver glitter paper hearts and the dotted lines and stamp and die from Waffle Flower (Mini-trifold Notes, Happy Mail)  I also used cardstock and patterned paper from my stash.  If you look below, you can see how cool the little envelope is - it has a little slit for the heart to keep it closed, but when you open it, it folds out pretty long so you can add a handwritten note!  Love this die and the stamps that go with it!
