Be Mine

Here's a Valentine for next year, something pink and frilly, complete with feathery trim!  The trim comes from Webster's Pages, and has some shimmer to it.  The darker pink heart die cuts are from My Creative Time "Prim Hearts".  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink "Daily Designs Sentiments."

Have a blessed day!

Thanks for your visit!

My One and Only Valentine

Hello all!  I made this card for my husband this Valentine's Day.  I am loving the neutral tones.  The background is a piece of parchment paper, stamped over with Wplus9 "Vintage Ephemera" stamps.  The lacy heart die cut is from Stampin' Up! Bloomin' Hearts.  I added some rhinestones to some of the flowers, and a sentiment from Emily Moore Designs (a Valentine's freebie).

Thanks for coming by!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Floral Postcard

Hello friends!  I'm bringing you some inspiration from Topflight Stamps!  This week we are featuring creations that focus on the colors red and pink.

I made a card using two stamp sets from Crafty Individuals.  If you've never seen the selection of Crafty Individuals stamps in the Topflight store, go take a peek.  So many to choose from!

The sets I used are Crafty Individuals - Floral Postcard and Crafty Individuals -  Vintage Tickets & Ephemera.  I stamped the postcard and colored the bee and the floral bouquet.  Then I inked the edges of the postcard to 'age' it.  Before adding it to the card front, I stamped the bright pink card base with a "post card" image from the Vintage Tickets & Ephemera.  This created a background with subtle interest.

Once the floral postcard was mounted to the card front, I lightly inked up a little postage stamp that says "HALF PENNY" along the bottom edge, from the Vintage Tickets & Ephemera set.  I tucked it underneath the floral postcard, along with a scattering of red pearls.  This makes a cute valentine, doesn't it?  Something different, something unexpected.

Here are the supplies I used from Topflight Stamps:

Crafty Individuals - 302 - Floral Postcard

Crafty Individuals - 307 - Vintage Tickets & Ephemera
