Sweet Hugs with a Heart

I was so excited to try another card with flowers and my blueprints so went to work on another card and joining the February 2015 Inspiration Challenge by Verve and added some texture to my card to join the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for this week.

Here is my card:

Loving these blueprints and used one of the sketch designs from the set to get me going. This one is number 14 and has lots of fun elements. Here I used paper and card stock from the Simon Says February kit along with the stamp set: Dream Big by Verve which has amazing flowers and leaves.

Added some texture to the card stock by using Zig Zag Dots stencil along with some Ranger Texture Paste. Foam Mount came in handy again to pop up the layers of the flowers and tucked in the leaves underneath. Added a cute heart from the stamp set: Chevron Love and the sentiment is from the set: Love Notes

VLV April week 3 - Little Chicks Rule with some Chevron

What a cute fun sketch over at Viva La Verve designed by Laurie Schmidin and wanted to create something for Easter as well but only now had a chance to post this up. This one is for April 2014 week 3. 

I also saw the Chevron Chic challenge and thought to try and combine both elements into one card and have some fun playing with stamps and dies. The chevron butterfly is from the set: Chevron Love by Verve and inked up with Melon Mambo ink.

This cute set is called: Chicks Rule by Verve and has so many adorable images and sentiments which I had to pull out and play along with some retired DSP called: Beau Chateau (SU). Lots of fuzzy cutting on this one but loved how it came out.

Fantastic image to color and have fun. Again I used my Spectrum Noir markers plus the Charming Banner Die for the sentiment using Early Espresso ink.

VLVDec2013 wk2 - Special with a Heart

Last day to get my sketches in for Viva La Verve for the month of December. This one is designed by Teresa Kline for VLV week 2 and so cute with this gorgeous heart. Right away I knew what stamp set I wanted to use, which is called: Chevron Love.

Here is my card:

Lots of fun products here and my favorite colors, Cherry Cobbler, Black, and White along with this cute embossing folder by SU called: Pretty Print Textured Impressions. Started with my Circles using MFT Circle Stax along with using the paper Modern Medley by SU.

More fun products: Jotted Heart Die by Verve to help me cut out this cute heart and for the bow, I used MFT Beautiful Bows Die. Added some polka dots using liquid pearl. For the sentiment, I used the set: Take Note by Verve and used the First Place Ribbon die from MFT to cut it out. For the red pearls, I used basic pearls and colored them with my spectrum noir markers to match up the color.

MOJO318 - Happy Birthday with Love

Just a quick post ...I purchased some new stamp sets and dies and wanted to use them so the Mojo Monday 318 sketch was perfect for using some fun new stamps, dies, tags, glitter, paper.

Here is my card:

Pulled out some old retired ctmh paper called: Sweetheart which I love the colors and played around with some Martha Stewart glitter along with a new stamp set released by Verve, this one is called: Chevron Love that has these cute hearts.

After I created the layered hearts, I went looking for a matching cardstock to match the blue glitter and found that Island Indigo from SU matched perfectly, so I used that as a mat behind the tag.
