SPELLBINDERS "Royal Love" Die

Still another 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece in my card parts.  I added the heart design from the Spellbinders die.  The die actually cuts a design 5 3/4" wide so I trimmed off edges from both sides to fit on this card.

 

When I cut this design part of the card stock tore so I trimmed it down and added it to this 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" embossed design.  I like that the die is versatile in the way it can be used.

Thank you for stopping by!  Come back again next week for more Valentine ideas.

When I cut thi

TWO CAS VALENTINES

 

When I found this embossed piece in my card parts it was a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece so I added it to a white card base.  I simply added the three sizes of hearts.  Nothing all that spectacular but I think it will pass.

 

This was another of those 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" pieces in my card parts and added it to the white card base. I added this pretty little heart with spray adhesive.  The heart is from a Memory Box Peyton Heart die.

COLOR SWAP CARD

Our Yahoo Group had a December color swap making a card with white and any shade of green.   I used the Poppy Stamps Snowflake Oval Collage die.  I cut the design from white card stock and placed a smaller piece of silver glitter paper behind it.  The next step was to double mat the piece and add it to a card base.  The green I used is Stampin' Up! Garden Green card stock.  I added a couple of white snowflakes from a set of Penny Black dies to finish off the project.  I think this will be a great design to use with various colors of card stock.

Tomorrow I'll begin showing some of the cards I have come up with for Valentine's Day so I hope you will take a moment to come back again.

"SNOWY" Scene

This will be the last "Snowy" card ...........at least for now.  I got the idea for this one from the back of the package that the die came in.  I cut the snowflakes with from the dies that are included with the "Snowy" die with glitter paper scraps that I had.

Thank you for stopping by today!

A CAS "SNOWY" CARD

This little guy is certainly fun to use, easy to color and bring a smile to someone's face.  Tomorrow I have one more "Snowy" card to show.

Thank you for coming by!

DISTRESSED SNOWDRIFT COLLAGE from Memory Box

A friend of ours who rents my mother's farmland is having a birthday this coming Monday.  He recently had shoulder surgery so I made this card with a dual purpose.   With the weather we are having snowflakes are certainly appropriate.  The outside lets him know that we are thinking of him but inside I stamped Happy Birthday! 

 

I have 11 more cards lined up to post do I hope you keep coming back.  Thank you for stopping by today!

POPPY STAMPS "Evangeline Floating Square"

Although it's been a while since I have been posting regularly, I did enjoy the time reading and just taking it easy through and after the holidays.  Break time is over here.   It's time to get back to making cards and sharing.

 

I really liked this die when I saw it but then found it wasn't quite as easy to use as I thought.  However, I really like the card I came up with.

 

Rarely do I make square cards but this was the perfect time to do that.  I had some Yellow Bicycle (yes, that's the brand name) double sided designer paper with the snowflake design on one side and the "falling snow" design on the other. 

 

First I cut out the design using white card stock and then layered it on the dp.  I cut the design a second time using the snowflake side.  I trimmed away the "frame" which was no easy task cutting around the edges of those snowflakes  It would have been easier to just cut out the square instead but I wanted the snowflakes to stand out against the white frame.

 

So what do you think?  I have three more cards I'll be posting and then will begin showing you what I have come up with for Valentine's Day........some better than others but I was just experimenting.

 

Thanks for coming by today!
