Happy Valentine's Day! 3 of 3

 Hello Friends!

This is my last card to share for Valentine's Day. These 14 days have gone by so fast!

For this card I used a Cricut Cuttlebug embossing folder. The stamped image is a Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous stamp. But the special thing about it is that the image is foiled. :)

I finally was able to get the liquid minc toner. And so I used a pink foil on it. I love the liquid stuff. I feel like there is so much you can do with it. I am just getting started! :)

Here's a closeup. I edged the pink with a wilted violet distress oxide. 

I am entering this card into the Watercolor Wednesday Challenge: #308 Tristan's All Occasions

Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Radiantly Ruby!

Hello Everybody!  

It's a new month and that means it's time for a new color! This month we are all about Radiant Ruby at the Rainbow Card Challenge!

There is a lot of wonderful inspiration here.  I mean look at those shoes!  I went a different way with an apple--

School starts here in August-so I thought this was a perfect color for a welcome back card for my son's teacher.  

The base is white cardstock, then glitter cardstock, then embossed cardstock (Stampin UP), and then the apple and hello are cut from Heidi Swapp toner paper and I used foil and my minc machine on them.  The hello is a die cut from Tim Holtz and has a vellum background on the word itself.  The apple was cut using my silhouette machine.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Creative Fingers: Challenge #190 Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp (Wed Challenge): Anything Goes

Water Cooler Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes #282

I hope you join us!  Until next time my friends!

For my first card I used 2 stamps from Great Impressions Stamps.  I used Christmas Gracie K100 and this Merry Christmas stamp.  I chose this Gracie because I could color her dress pink-taking the colors from the photo as my inspiration. :)

For my next cards I used MHK Designs.  These are fun vintage designs with awesome papers to match!  These are the sets that I used:

Here is my first card:

This card is small 3.5 X 4 inches.  But I loved the sentiment and papers so much.  I was inspired by the gifts in the photo so I thought it would be cool to make the card a gift.  The paper and sentiment are from MHK Designs.

My next 2 cards feature something in common:

I used my Minc machine from Heidi Swapp to change the images from black to foiled.  I works with a laser printer-so the ski is the limit.  The minc machine is awesome! :)

The colors help to inspire the first card.  The red from the presents and the gold around the presents.  

The last card is foiled red and I love this sled!  But there's not sled in the picture?  Those presents had to get there somehow right?

I hope that you have enjoyed my cards.  Check out Lilian's beautiful cards. 

Be sure to leave a comment.  Thank you for coming by!  Until next time my friends...good night! :)

Fabulous Layout

Hello Everybody!

There are some Fabulous Sketches over at Let's Get Sketchy!  The sketch from Week 3 inspired this layout:

I used texture luxe Faber castell paste and a Heidi Swapp stencil to make those chevrons.  I love this paste!  The title is Heidi Swapp's and so is the tag.  The tag is from the Minc Machine (which is totally awesome!)  Then a little misting and small dot stenciling in the background.

Than you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...be fabulous! :)
