Valentine's Card using the My Favorite Things Die-namics Snow Drifts Cover-Up Die

Hello Again!

Valentine's day is getting closer, are you prepared? Do you do anything special on the day or will it be another Tuesday?  Pretty obvious I will have a card for my hubby but I am not huge into the day for gifts but I do like letting those I love know how much they mean to me. 

Today I have a card using the same pattern paper from that Paper Studios All Seasons Three paper pack and using the My Favorite Things Die-namics Snow Drifts Cover-Up Die. 

I used that same Valentine's Day Sentiment from the Silhouette Design Store but this time with a white background and then set onto black card stock that I cut using the 

W plus 9 stitched rectangle die. I then added a few sequins and attached to a light pink card base.

Thank you for visiting and see you next time!

Final Plaid Valentine's Day Card using the My Favorite Things Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set

I told you there were three of them. :-)

I really had fun with this background using some non traditional Valentine's colors. 

That bit of teal is just great.

 

I again used Distress Inks for the stamping. I used Abandoned Coral, Spun Sugar and Peacock Feathers. I cut it out using that MFT Die-namics Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edge Frames Die set but I did not use as just a frame. 

Since it was so simple I just felt it needed something so I flicked on some white acrylic paint mixed with water onto it and added a few clear sequins. 

I used the same sentiment from the Silhouette Design store but I didn't have card stock to match so instead I smoothed the abandoned coral pad onto the sentiment and then covered in Versamark and used clear embossing powder to make it all looking sleek.

  I then popped it all on a white card base. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and I will see you next time!!

Valentine's card using Lori Whitlock Diamond Stacking Card Base

Hey Everyone!

I just love the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Collection Crazy Dogs. 

They are just too goofy and adorable.

I used the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Collection Crazy Talk and Crazy Things Stamps for the sentiment , flowers, heart candy box and hearts. 

I stamped the sentiment on this "torn" die from the My Favorite Things Die-namics Blueprint 13 set.

I colored everything using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and blended out with a water brush pen. 

The background is the Lori Whitlock A2 Stacking Card base in the Diamond pattern from the Silhouette Design Store. 

These backgrounds are just three different pieces I cut from some white card stock. 

I liked the white diamonds but 

I wanted just a bit of color in the red at the very bottom as the back panel. 

After i had everything attached to the black card base I added some Glossy Accents to his eyes and the tag on his collar. 

Thank you for coming over to check out this card and stay crafty till next time!

Another Plaid Valentine's using the My Favorite Things Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set

Happy Monday!
I hope you had a great Weekend!

Today I have to show you the second of the three plaid Valentine's cards using the My Favorite Things Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set 

This time I went with a actual pattern and I only used the solid stamps in the set. 

Since I am newer with stamping I am limited on my colors in the Memento Dew Drops but I have the entire collection of the Distress Inks. I knew the Distress Inks would be a bit splotchy but I was ok with that.  I used Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Dried Marigold and Carved Pumpkin and then 

used Stampabilities in Dark Pink. 

I also added some water droplets to it to add to the distressed look.  I cut it down using the stitched rectangle die in the Die-namics Blueprints 13.

I again used the Simon Says Stamp All My Love Stamp set for the sentiment, I stamped in Versafine and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I also water colored the hearts using Distress Ink in black soot with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush pen.  I just love how the black mat and lettering backs the background look so bright . 

I have one more plaid card to show you and hopefully you are not sick of them!

Have a great day!

Valentine's Day card using the My Favorite Things Die-namics Chevron Segments Cover Up

Happy Weekend! 

I have another Valentine's Day card for you today.

I am fairly new to using dies for my card making so a lot of the dies I have gotten have been from My Favorite Things. I'm trying to stick to the very versatile dies and the one I  used today was the Die-namics Chevron Segments Cover up.

The patterned paper I used was from this Paper Studios All Seasons Three paper pad I got from Hobby Lobby. I just love the black and grey with the traditional pink and red.

I used a sentiment I got from the Silhouette Design Store and blew it up to fill out the card and then coated the red in a bot of Wink of Stella clear to give it some shine.

Thank you for visiting!

Birthday Box Card

 I have been making lately more cards without the help of my Silhouette machine

 but I had to make a box card for my friend at work Jon.  

I started my card making journey around October of 2016. I was addicted to making box cards that were in the Silhouette store, especially ones made by Lori Whitlock. 

I have a few friends that have the whole collection of box cards that I had. 

This was the last one to finish his collection! 

I again used a Lori Whitlock design from the Silhouette Design store.  I used random pattern paper from a some Hobby lobby paper pads. I also added glossy accents to the balloons and the candle flame.

I also used the Technique Tuesday pull strip tag on the envelope!

Thank you for visiting and see you next time!

Valentines Plaid Using the MFT Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set

Hi, I'm Cher and I am addicted to stamping plaid.

I got the My Favorite Things Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set and
 all I want to do is make everything plaid!

This is the first of 3 plaid Valentine's cards that I have made.

I used four different reds and pinks for the stamping: Stampabilities in Dark Pink and Bubblegum Pink and Memento Dew Drops in Lady Bug and Lilac Posies. 

Ok so I have to admit to something else. When I did my last MFT order I thought I ordered the scalloped rectangle dies and not the Die-namics Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edge Frames.  Yeah I could have returned it but... I knew that wasn't gonna happen so I just pieced it all back together and I am just gonna lie to myself that it is one full piece.

I also used the MFT Stitched Sentiment Die to add the sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp All my Love stamp set onto.

I stamped the large Love from the same SSS set in Versafine ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder and of course I had to add a few sequins.




Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day everyone!!
