happy {heart} day

Hello friends,

I have this cutsie card to share with you all..

I used my new LF stamps "You're Just My Type" and "Keep On Swimming" stamp set. 

All images are stamped on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored using copics then cut out with scissor.

The design paper is from some old paper set which I don't remember the name.

The sentiment is from LF "happy heart day" line border die, I added a puffy heart sticker.

Hope you like my card. Thanks for stopping by!!

Our Daily Bread Design Blog Hop

Hello friends, welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs and CardMaker blog hop.

I made a simple a CAS card for today‘s hop using some amazing new products from Our Daily Bread Designs.

To create this card I used Metallic's design paper and die cut ornaments using Delightful Decorations dies and for the inner part I used red glitter cardstock and the solid ornament die; this die set comes in three one solid and two designed ornaments. The glittered ornament is adhered directly to the card base and the designed ornament is adhered using foam squares. I also tied bakers twine to the ornament. The sentiment is from Christmas Tunes set and is stamped using memento love letter ink.

Here is a close up... 

That’s all from me today!!

Lil' Inker Designs & CardMaker Blog Hop

Hello friends, we are having a blog hop with the super amazing Lil' Inker Designs. I am super excited to have a chance to play with their products!!!
We were asked to create any occasion card using fall colors showcasing their amazing products.

I made two cards for the hop today, here is my 1st card:

 

I used distress inks and water colored some fall colors (olive green, fired brick, ripe persimmon, scattered straw) and colored few strips of Tim Holtz water color paper.
The images are from Perfect Pair stamp set which is stamped on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored them using copics.
I glued all the water colored strips directly on a white card base , I also glued some strips of gold foil cardstock from DCWV; the colored images are adhered using foam squares. I die cut the alphabets from a red cardstock using Mixed and Stitched Alphabet Die Set and adhered that also using foam squares.

I added some glitter to all the images, here is a close up:

And here is my 2nd card:

First I took Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and stamped the coffee cups from Coffee Talk Stamp set using MFT black licorice waterproof ink, I masked the coffee cup in the front to stamp the cups in the back; I used Hero Arts watercolor wheel to color the whole image. Once everything was dry I did some layered die cutting; using Mixed and Stitched Alphabet Die Set first I die cut the words from the water colored panel then die cut the word from four separate scraps of white cardstock. This created four exact cuts which I then adhered together to create a thick, chipboard-like embellishment for dimension
Here is a close up:

I added lots of glitter to the image and added sequins for embellishment.

Hope you liked my card.
