"Paris is Always a Good Idea" Card

Happy Tuesday guys!  I'm on the mend of a nasty bug, but wanted to share an adorable card I created for Martha's Zibbet shop, Creating is Fun.  I created this card for a friend over the weekend using some of my favorite luscious lace that Martha carries.

I used this sketch to base my card on.

And here's how my card turned out...

I used an old paper collection by Glitz Design, "Laced with Grace."  I stamped the image using the "Who's that Parisian Girl" stamp set by MFT.  I paper-pieced her outfit and colored her up with my Copic markers and I used by black Atyou Spica glitter pen to color her shoes and purse.

Check out that gorgeous shimmer on the Eiffel Tower!

I used the Eiffel Tower die by MFT and some black cardstock to cut it out.  I then sprayed it with my LSG Scintillating Silver Glitz Spritz...♥ that shimmer!

Here's a peek at the inside...

Just look at the gorgeous lace, I ♥ how it looks layered.

Vintage Valentine Treat Bag

Hi guys!  I have a project today that I created as part of the Queen of My Craftroom Design Team Challenge.  Our challenge for this week was to create a Valentine's Day Treat Project.

Here's what I created...

 I used some of these adorable Vintage Newspaper Kraft Paper Bags that I picked up a few months ago from an Etsy store.  

I ♥ this paper collection by K&Company.  It's so cute and vintage looking.

I cut out the tag using the Baroque TH Alterations Die with my BigShot and some of the DP.  The Valentine cutout is from the paper collection also.

I used some of my favorite seam binding and sprayed it with Poinsettia Red Gold Starburst Spray by LSG...♥♥♥ this stuff!  I attached the tag to the bag with a tiny clothespin that I had in my stash.  I also added a touch of bling in the corner with some Red Sparkles by CTMH.  I hot glued some vintage creme lace to the edge of the bag.

Click HERE to watch a video tutorial for this Vintage Valentine Treat Bag...and head on over to the Queen of My Craftroom Blog to see what the other lovely DT ladies have created today.  Hope your Sunday is filled with Love & Whimsy! HUGS :)

Now on to my project...I created some quick and simple cards using some adorable products from K & Company.  I used the Kelly Panacci Valentine collection, super cute papers and adorable embellishments to match! 

Here's my 1st card...

I sprayed the pink heart DP with Cotton Candy Pink Starburst Spray by LSG. The 3D embellishment is from the Valentine collection and the layered heart was created using Layered Heart Die-Namic by MFT. I thread some May Arts white burlap string through the holes. I also added a white seam binding bow and some gorgeous I Am Roses flowers.

Links to the IAR flowers:

Hot Pink Cherry Blossom

Pink Mini Roses

Tiny Green Leaves

I kept the inside super simple.

I used the Hearts a Plenty Die-Namic by MFT to create the layered hearts and used the PI You're So Tweet stamp set by MFT to stamp the sentiment. I used my "bubblegum" ink pad by CTMH.

And here's my second card...

I used another 3D embellishment from the collection. I created the scallop border by using Simply Scallops Die-Namic by MFT. I tied some seam binding in a bow and used some of Jodi's Red Line Sticky Tape to adhere it to the scallop border. I used another Pale Pink Cherry Blossom from I Am Roses.....so sweet! :)

A peek at the inside

The sentiment is from the PI Berry Sweet stamp set by MFT. I used the Hearts a Plenty Die-Namic again to create that adorable heart.

Here's my final card...

I added an adorable snow globe sticker from the collection to a tag that I cut out using the Tag You're It Die-Namic by MFT. I tied a double bow using some more May Arts white burlap string. I added a row of Small Pink 2-Tone Flowers from I Am Roses.

Again, I did the same thing on the inside.

You can watch a video on how I put the cards together HERE!

I had so much fun putting these cards together and they were super easy to create.

MFT "Stamp Your Heart Out" Guest Design Team Entry

Hi everyone, today's project is an adorable card I created as an entry into the MFT "Stamp Your Heart Out" Guest Design Team Contest.

I created this card for my Mom for Valentine's Day.  I just adore how cute it turned out.

The base of the card measures 5.5" x 5.5" and is made out of Kraft card stock by PaperTrey Ink.  I used some design paper from the "Valentine Sweetheart" Collection by K & Company.  I love all of the ♥s in this collection.

This adorable sweetheart is from the PI Paper Dolls stamp set by MFT.  I stamped her on a white MFT panel and used an oval nestabilities die to cut her out.  She is matted on a scalloped oval that I cut out using some of the DP.  I paper-pieced her dress and colored her up with my Copic Markers.  I used Crystal Stickles to jazz up the paper dolls.  

I created the tag using the Tag You're It Die-Namic by MFT and some DP.  I added a piece of cardboard for a bit of dimension and stamped a sentiment from the PI Paper Dolls stamp set with Rich Coca Memento Ink.  I also used the Hearts a Plenty Die-Namic by MFT and put a sweet rhinestone in the corner.  I put a cute little clothespin at the top of the tag, sooo cute! :)

Here's a peek at the inside...

I used some heart DP at the bottom of the card and layered on some adorable borders.  I cut the first border out of Kraft card stock and the Simply Scallops Die-Namic by MFT.  I then layered on some adorable paper dolls that I cut out of the DP using the Paper Doll Border Die-Namic by MFT.  The sentiment was stamped using the PI Paper Dolls stamp set.  I added a touch of bling for a bit of sparkle! 

I hope you enjoyed today's card.  I can't wait to give it to my Mom for Valentine's Day.  Hope your weekend is filled with Love & Whimsy!   HUGS :)
