XOXO

Starting to make more Valentine's Day Cards! You can never have too many cards to tell people you love them.

This card however, was an interesting experiment. I tried staples instead of stitching on the ribbon. Partly because I wanted to add more X's into my heart card but also because I was too lazy to dig out the sewing machine. I guess this is what happens when you are lazy! It didn't turn out too bad, although this card is not my fav. I do like the color combo though. A little funky and fun.

Thanks for visiting. XOXO

Simply Irresistable

Another quick card and not ONE stamp was used. Scandalous! I used a rub-on on acetate to make it see-through. This baby has so much glitter. It is everywhere! Even Patrick found some on his face a week after I actually made the card. 

Have a great day.

Get Well Wishes

A simple card today. Have I told you how much I love this new color Ocean Tides? If not, consider yourself told. It's Grrrreat! I also sponged the scalloped circle while it was still in the die to create the layer of color. It makes it look like another paper layer, but without the bulk.

Thanks for stopping by!

I {heart} 2 Stamp Sketch

Another sketch from Jen delMuro at I Heart 2 Stamp.

I liked this one but wanted to keep it really simple. No matting or crazy stuff. Of course that meant getting the twine. I {heart} this stamp set and this sketch. Thanks Jen!

Take-Off Tuesday #12

I was inspired by these colors because they are so mellow, but I also really  love the pattern too. This is also from the Crate and Barrel catalog. I interpreted these colors as Old Olive, Close To Cocoa and So Saffron. I don't actually own So Saffron so I blended two VersaMagic Inks together. I don't have the names, but they were a yellow and a brown together. I used a dauber to apply them to the stamp.

Here is my take this week:
I haven't used these stamps in a while, so it was good to get them out. They are from Inque Boutique. I bought them at Purple Turtle Stamps online, but the link is no longer working.So sorry if you wanted to check them out.

Have an inspiring week!
