Valentine Week - Day 4

How sweet is this little set? I am still nutso over the Love Impressions designer paper and will be so sad when it's gone. Guess where I got the little candy container? It's a $0.34 salt shaker from Dollarama that I took the salt lid off of...LOVE IT!!

Tips & Tricks:

• Don't forget about your white gel pens! They write so smoothly and look spectacular on Crumb Cake cardstock.
• Simplicity is superb on this card...sometimes less really is more!
• The pretty in pink button with linen thread adds the finishing touch on both the card and treat holder and ties them together as a set.

Valentine Week - Day 3

This was a fun card to create although it was one of those where I had no idea in my head of where it was going. But I knew punches would be involved and they sure were. There are tons of great products used here, my favourites being the glimmer paper and rhinestone brads....love them!

Tips & Tricks:

• Plain chipboard can be a great addition to a project. Here I've glammed up the hearts with a couple of rhinestone brads.
• Punches are such a fabulous way to add to a card. The circle, oval and modern label all layered on top of each other give interest to the card.
• Don't forget about the very cool look that Whisper White craft ink can give, especially stamped on black cardstock!

Valentine Week - Day 2

If you live in Canada and don't shop at Dollarama.....you are CRAZY! I find the coolest stuff there that I can come home and use fabulous Stampin' Up! products to make lovely. This little treasure was $1 and I knew exactly what to do with it. Check it out:

There was so much product used on this I can't even begin to list them here. For the extra shimmer I broke out the Smooch Spritz and used it on EVERYTHING. Okay so I forgot how much fun this stuff is....get ready to see lots and lots of it! ;)

Hopefully I've inspired you to get extra creative and make some altered items of your own!

Sneakin' in the Mojo!

I totally did not plan to Mojo today but after taking a quick peek at the sketch my mind was changed. This sketch, by the uber talented Mary Fish, is spectacular! The size is 4x4 and is perfect for tucking into a little gift. I know exactly who this card is headed for...hope she loves it!

Oooh, these butterflies are just the best. They're making this card come to life, don't you think? The sweet pearls and gold embossing powder give this card the bling y'all know I need! ;)

Back to the featured Valentine's Week tomorrow!

Valentine Week - Day 1

I absolutely love Valentine's Day!! Now I know that there are a lot of people out there who do not share that feeling, and even some who *shudder* HATE Valentine's day. But I love the love and it's a great day to spread that lovin' feeling so just get on board with it already! ;)

This card actually came together because my 4 year old wanted to use glitter....sounds fun, eh? But it gave me the idea for this card so I have to be grateful to him for that! Very few products were used here but it's still sooo purty!

Tips & Tricks:

• After rolling the image onto my cardstock I used the 'direct to paper' technique with my Versamark pad and then covered it completely with Iridescent Ice embossing powder for that stunning sparkle!
  
• The scallop trim border punch makes a pretty frame for the main image.


• A little ribbon and button give this simple card a touch of extra sweetness...perfect for the holiday it will be used for!

Cupcake Crazy

So when vintage became vogue I cringed because it seemed like a really hard look to acheive. But soon I realized it wasn't that difficult and next thing I knew it was my go to style! I'm returning to my clean and crisp roots with this card here and the simplicity of it is really beautiful.

The colour coach gave me this great combination of Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Early Espresso. Do you have a colour coach yet? It's a great tool! There are some truly funky combinations in there that I can't wait to try out.

Tips & Tricks:

• The clean and simple lines on this card let the adorable cupcakes be the stars of the show! I adhered them with dimenstionals for extra pop.
• Dainty pearls make the cupcakes a little more fancy...I love frilly foo foo things! :)
• The scalloped edge punch creates interest along the bottom edge.
