XO Love

Hello!!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

Today I have another fun card made with the Cross Stitch Love stamp set.

To create this card I cut black cardstock and centered it on the front of the card.

I then stamped "XO" in gray ink all over a piece of white cardstock and glued it to the black cardstock.

I stamped the "Love" stamp in red on white cardstock and mounted it on black cardstock.

I then pop dotted the black/white/red "Love" to the center of the card and finished it off with some fun rhinestone bling.

This card was super fun to make and can be used year round for

anyone you want to send some love to!

I hope I have inspired you to pull out your stamps and get your fingers inky today!

Please remember to shop with Heather at I Heart Stamping for all your stamping needs!

Happy Birthday

The weekend is almost over, doesn't it make you sad?

Happy Sunday everyone! I am so happy to be back in my craft room and creating..

I am sharing 2 cards with you today that I created using Pinque Peacock Product and the Cricut Explore. This was the first time I used it, had a bit of trial and error but it's a simple enough machine, at least for what I used it for today.

This card was created using the Random Collection by Crate paper, I paired it with this FABULOUS yellow Elegant Floral Pleated Petal you can find it in the Pinque Peacock Shop HERE.

The Arrows was an extra piece I had left over from when I tried out my art booking cartridge, I used some Tim Holtz Distress paint, matted it on black card stock and then layered the card. I intentionally left the bottom 1/4 (or less) of the card without design I just like how the sentiment looked that way. I cut the sentiment with the cricut explore. (this was my 2nd project with the Explore)

I paired this lovely green felt popper with my first go at the Cricut Explore, I used a Gold Metallic pen and had it write out this St. Patricks Day themed card front.. I then colored in with Copic markers in green some of the white space. I added some 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon, but I love the pop this green felt popper gives the card!

You can find felt poppers in the Pinque Peacock Shop HERE

Happy Crafting!

Good Morning!

I'm finally getting a blog post up, yay! I've been fighting massive migraines for a few weeks and that just zaps all my creative energy.

Today I have a fun card to share.

It's my teacher's aide's birthday today and I wanted to give her a handmade card.

She loves scrapbooking and cardmaking so a homemade card is perfect for her. Tucked inside is a gift card for The Gap, she loves to shop just like me!

To create this card:

-I used the January Stamp of the Month and heat embossed the large teal hearts first.

-I heat embossed gold embossing powder around the edge of my card.

-I then stamped and cut out the pink hearts and pop dotted them to the center of the teal hearts.

-I stamped the "You Are the Best" and heat embossed it in gold and then embossed gold embossing powder around the edge of the block.

-I pop dotted the "You Are the Best" to the center of the card.

-I added bling to the centers of the hearts.

This card was super fun to create and I hope I have inspired you to pull out your stamps and have some fun today!

Have a fabulous day!
