Valentine Card with Gift Card Holder

Hello!

Valentine Day is round the corner & for my post today I have a super easy card with a gift card holder.

Supplies needed are - card stock, pattern paper, Love Foiled Paper variety pack, 3D Rolled Star Die Set, stamps, stamp block, double sided tape, foam squares, rhinestones 

Let me take you through the steps - 

Trim the red card stock to  41/4x11"

 Score at 2 1/4" & 5 1/2" on the 11" side

Fold as shown in the picture. Trim coordinating pattern paper for the inside & folded sides. Fold at the 2 1/4" score line to form a pocket on the inside. Use double sided tape on two sides to form the insert for the gift card.

Next we move on to make the front flap of the card. Die cut a large heart from red card stock & the next smaller size from pattern paper to layer over it. 

I have used the Love foiled Paper Variety pack to make a beautiful bow embellishment for my card. Die cut a couple of star templates using Rinea Foiled paper. Next trim off the sides of each segment as shown to form an asterisk like shape. 

 Roll the sides of the asterisk, layer them & add a rhinestone in the centre to make beautiful accent for the card front. 

Here are some more close ups of the card - 

The sentiment is from the Love Quotes stamp set by Joy Clair.

That's all from me today!

Scrapbook Layout with Bob N Betty "You N I" pack

Hello Friends!

I am back with a scrapbook layout using the latest release from Bob N Betty – “You n I” ………I am in love with this pack! Its color palette of peach, kraft, black and the ultra-trendy periwinkle is such a refreshing change from the usual reds & pinks!

I have used one of the pages from the pack as the base of my layout. For layering my picture I made an envelope also from a sheet in the pack & distressed some more pieces layering.

All the flowers layered together in a bunch here are fussy cut from the collage sheet

The pack also has loads of printed sentiments for cards, albums, layouts

The pastel colors makes  “You N I” pack versatile for all love theme  projects be it Valentine’s, wedding, engagements, anniversary or even birthday.

To purchase this paper pack, go to the sales buddies section of our website, choose a distributor near you and start shopping

Undeniable Chemistry

Hello!

A quick card share using the adorable MFT - Undeniable Chemistry stamp set.

I starting by creating a blended background with distress inks - fired brick & abandon coral & stamped the benzene ring image. I thought adding hearts to the rings & background made sense to the  heat embossed sentiment "Our Chemistry is undeniable".

Added a vellum panel & diecuts to complete the card. The shimmer on the glassware & hearts is the Wink of Stella effect!

Love Struck

Crafty friends, welcome to my blog!

It is the season of love & how can a cardmaker not make a card! With so many challenges with this theme I decided to play along too, with 2 cards. 

The first one is a simple card but with loads of techniques - 

• for the front of the black card panel I created a embossed heart pattern using the Gina Marie stitched heart dies
• the heat embossed arrows from the Paper Trey Ink set - Cupids Arrow are inlaid on the focal heart die cut

This card reminds me of the Twilight series my daughter read!

I Love You

Good Morning!

With February almost here I see so much Valentine inspiration  in blogland & I wanted to make a card too but without using too much red! 

Here's my card for today - 

The focal element of this card is the spot light die cut tag (Paper Trey Ink). 

What is a Valentine card without a heart! I stamped the heart from Simon Says Stamp "I See You" set on the tag such that a bit is stamped off the die cut, on to the card stock. Heat embossed this in silver embossing powder.

I glued 5 tags together for the spotlight effect. I alternated a black & red tag to add some interest & I loved the dash of red popping from the sides. 

I covered the heart, only on the tag with clear Wink of Stella, this created magic & further high lighted the heart.
