Heart Swing Card Number 4

 Hello Friends!

Thank you for stopping by today. I had a set of 5 of these heart swing cards and this is the 4th one. 

Here is the card when it is collapsed. I used flowers and the envelope from K & Company. And the two ladies are a paper doll from Tim Holtz.

Here is the one side of the card standing up.

Then as it opens you see the sentiment.

Here is the card opened. The butterfly was in my stash and is cool because it changes colors in the light. And the hearts were cut outs from a few moons ago-so yay using up stash! The background paper is from Prima which I have also had in my stash for awhile. :)

Thank you for stopping by! 

Window of Hearts Card

 Hello Friends!

Today is the 9th day I have been posting Valentine cards and crafts. For me this is super exciting! I have been all about Valentine's, and I have been mailing stuff out hoping to bring a smile to a loved one. :)

Today is a card that I love how it turned out. My husband gave me this Tim Holtz window for Christmas. And as I started of thinking about Valentines I thought how cute if hearts were hanging in the window. 

Well my friends-that window is smaller than the one in my head LOL So I used the inside of the hearts to stick on the window.

The background is candied apple distress oxide through a crafters workshop stencil. Since oxide is sort of like versamark I applied stampin up iridescent ice embossing powder and heated it. Beautiful! so it added glitter and shine to the bricks. My background was totally inspired by a video I saw on Instagram by erica_cacacraft.  

The window and the little bitty flowers and leaves are Tim Holtz dies. I used some distress oxides for the flowers-wilted violet and worn lipstick. And then I used nuovo drops for the middles.

The hearts are from my silhouette machine.

Here is a close up of the bricks.  😍😍😍

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

the Library Challenge: 76 Jar of Hearts. I don't have a jar but a window which is made out of glass ;) 

Try It on Tuesday: Falling in Love (I'm seriously in love with this window :) )

Owl Valentine

 Hello Friends!

Welcome to Day 8 of my 14 Days of Valentine Craftiness. :)

Here is a Valentine card made from cute owl stamps from Aall & Create. My husband gave me these stamp at Christmas and I thought how cute would they be for Valentine's! :)

I colored the owls with prismacolor markers. And then I fussy cut them out.  I also have this new circle masking stencil from Taylored Expressions. I taped down my paper, the circle masking stencil and then laid a paige evans heart stencil over that. I just wanted to see if it would look good. I used spun sugar distress ink. And ta da! Not too bad!

The heart with the arrow is a Silhouette stamp and cut. And the sentiment is a sticker from Simple Stories.

Valentine Birdhouse

 Hello Friends!

Welcome back to day 7 of my 14 Days of Valentine's Craftiness.  Today I have a cute little birdhouse to show you :)

Time for the 360 tour :)

Here's the back.

And the other side.

Back to the cute front again. 

The details: I used light modeling paste for the roof.  I used Simon Says Stamps heart stencil on the roof. I paint with some crafts paints. The silver heart stickers and the actual bird house are from Hobby Lobby. The gem hearts were in my stash. The little bird was in my stash also. It's like a tiny miniature figure bird. LOL. I had hot glue showing so I folded a piece of scrapbook paper to make like a rest for the bird. And the pink is a puff paint type thing from Michaels a few years ago.

Above is a process step. After the light modeling paste I gessoed the whole thing so the paint would be nice and bright. 

And below is the original state of the birdhouse. :)  It's a very small birdhouse so it will make a nice decoration on my shelf :)

I am entering this into the Simon Says Monday Challenge: Love/Hearts.

Thank you so much for stopping by! :)

One More Heart Swing Card

 Hi Friends! 

I have one more Heart Swing Card for right now. There were 5 altogether but I have other things I have made and want to change it up a little for tomorrow :)  But more about today :)

If you would like to see more Heart Swing Cards go here and here.

So for swing heart card number 3 I used Crate paper but different than the first two. And the heart paper here was in my stash, and I don't know the brand on it. The flowers and the vintage girl are K & Company. I put some mulberry paper behind the girl to soften the background. 

And here is the card are you open it-the other side of the heart. The little hearts in the spine of the card are some that I have had for awhile. And I made the other little hearts. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz sentiment.

Here's the card standing. It's pretty cool how there are two sides to the heart.

And here's the card standing in display mode LOL. You could face the card either way. :)

Thank you for stopping by! I need to work on getting these Valentine's in the mail! :)

Heart Swing Card (2)

 Hello Friends!

Today I am showing you a second heart swing card that I made (there's 5 altogether). The story about the heart swing cards is here if you would like to know a little more. :)  Thank you stopping by today! This is Day 4 of my 14 Days of Valentine's Craftiness :)

For this card I used some old but very well loved Crate scrapbook paper for the background. I wrapped twine in the first part. The flower was in my stash-and is an acetate flower that I had made. I stamped it and then painted it with glue and glitter. Then I took a paper heart and put it for the center of the heart and added glitter glue.  The forever heart was a chipboard piece also in my stash. :)  Yay! Using up some pieces! LOL :)

Here is the card folded like it would be in the envelope. The elephant is from The Silhouette Design Store and is a print and cut. So cute!  And the butterfly was in a bag of sparkly kind of material butterflies that were given to me.

Here's a picture of starting to open this card. 

Here is the other side of the heart. This is a Tim Holtz sentiment and some hearts from a die cut. And the flowers are from K & Company.

Here is the card extended out. 

I am so excited to give these out. :)  Thank you for stopping by!
