You Make My Hearth Sing

More Valentines!

 Yes I am on a role with the Sweet Talk Postage Stamp paper. I paired this stamp with some music paper from My Minds Eye and some red patterned paper from Chatterbox. Then I added some chocolate brown cardstock and used a Martha Stewart edge punch. I cut some music notes from my Cricut using Gypsy Wanderings and added a bow of Maraschino Twine from The Twinery.

More Sweet Talk

Okay, I have yet another Sweet Talk paper card. This one is from the same paper as yesterday. I used two Pinecone Press patterned paper, and instead of pink and maroon, I went with brown and maroon cardstock I had a lot of it and I figured that it would be a good idea to try to use it up.

This time I used a Martha Stewart edge punch for the maroon cardstock. 

I like to make several different cards instead of making a bunch of the same one, so I will probably make a few more! Happy Crafting

Another Valentine

Okay, I am still working on those Sweet Talk Postage Stamps. This one is a very simple card, and I'm going for easy at the moment. I've only got a few days left to get these babies in the mail. I used this pattern paper from Pinecone Press and some Bazzil cardstock to go with it. I used a Fiskars edge punch for the scalloped edges, and some ribbon from Michaels to round it off. 

The only thing I used my Cricut for was the Stamp background, which makes this one super simple. 

Happy Crafting.

Lucky in Love

Yikes, it's already February. Where did the time go? I'd better get started on my Valentine's Day Cards.I have this Sweet Talk Postage Stamps paper from K & Co. that has been sitting in my pile of paper for a few years. So I decided to get started! Since I am so lucky in love I decided that I would use that stamp to make a card. My husband is the best, and I am truly lucky to have him. Plus he loves Vegas, so this is a great card for him.

 

 I cut out the stamp background with my Cricut, and the 4 card symbols, then added  the white paper punched with a Martha Steward edge punch. It's simple, but cute. Happy Crafting!

Tug at My Heart String

Okay, I'll admit I haven't been blogging much, but there are so many things going on right now. But I don't want ignore my blog so I though I would re-visit my favorite Valentine from last year. I made this one using Rock Princess and I thought it was adorable. Plus this is kind of how I feel right now. Broken heart-ed that someone would take advantage of my mentally disabled brother. People can shatter your faith sometimes.

The background paper is from Making Memories Love Notes line. I chalked the edges of the paper with both pink and brown chalk. I started with pink and wasn't too happy with the results, but I liked toe pink and  brown combo.

 The hear is cut at 3" and I  added rivets to it with my Crop-a-dile. One of my favorite tools, by the way. That thing can punch through almost any paper, love it! I used The Twinery's Pink Sorbet Twine to lace it up.

But I ran into a problem, the twine didn't show up well on the paper. So I added this piece of black cardstock to the back of the heart..

I used pop dots to adhere it so that the card would have some depth since I made it so simple.You can sort of see in this picture, although it's a little blurry.

I might have to revamp this idea a little for this year's cards. Happy Crafting!

Snowman card

One more day till Christmas and  I have a super cute Snowman card made with the Cricut Snow Friends Seasonal Cart. I just love the little jacket on this guy. I'm not sure where the background paper came from because it's been in my stash for a while, maybe Pebbles Inc? The polka dot paper came from an old DCWV  paper stack, and all the solid colored cardstock is from Bazzile.  

Added this tag from Plantin Schoolbook and stamped it with a Recollections cling stamp from Michael's that I got on super low clearance last year! We are talking like 97 cents for the whole set of cling stamps, but they are super cute!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, and Happy Crafting!

Purple, Green and Orange Christmas?

Yes, I have one more snow glode card for you! This one is extra special because there is almost nothing Christmas on it! 

I know, a little weird  but I wanted something to go with the orange on this snow globe. I used Bo Bunny purple Peacock Lane paper, Doodlebug Halloween Playful Paisley, and  Heidi Swap Halloween Paper on this one. I also added some orange twine. 

Happy Crafting!
