Scrumptious Sweet Valetines

 Good Morning! how's the weather where you are? we've had some crazy times, was warm on Christmas day, we've had high winds, rain, freezing temperatures and snow!

this is the first of 2 posts, I was invites to join the Not Too Shabby design team and I have had fun designing my first card for them. I used the Sweet Valentine image and sentiments:

Doesn't this look delicious! I colored the image with Copic markers, I added white glaze pen to the 'icing' on the biscotti and white gel pen to the heart on the mug. I fussy cut the image and edged it with black so not to have white paper edges showing.

My card was matted with red cardstock and Kraft heart patterned paper. I adhered my image in place and then using foam tape added my sentiment.

My mug is full of hot cocoa - anyone knows me knows I hate coffee! and of course the cupcake had to be chocolate. A great Valentine's snack to have on a girl friend's afternoon out!

Thanks for stopping by, please go check out Jamie's store - Not 2 Shabby, she has some fab stamps and also sells crafty goodies from other companies.

Hot Chocolate and Cocoa

 Good afternoon. Are you looking forward to the holiday this week? 

Well before that Crescent Creations has a new release and are doing a blog/you tube hop to celebrate where you could win yourself some goodies. I have used Sweet Christmas for my inspiration:

I resized the cups and placed them together, they are great for building a scene because although they are png images they are solid images so you can layer them without the worry of the back image showing through. The sentiment was added before printing on to stamping cardstock.

The images were colored with Copic markers I then added glaze to the tall glass to make it look more like glass.

I matted an A7 card base with green glitter card, this card is part of the new release and is great because although the glitter shines amazingly it doesn't shed!

My image was added to the glitter card stock I felt the card needed something more so I used the lights from Christmas Gnomies digital stamp set, colored and cut them a few times and strung them along the top of the card.

To take part in the hop you have to stop at each of my teamies blogs/you tube channels and leave us a comment. The winner will be announced on 30th November on the Crescent Creations channel and Instagram. It would be amazing if you could subscribe/follow all the design team's channels as you hop!

You hopped here from Tammi and the next amazing inspiration is Heather's. If you get lost along the way head back to Crescent Creations for the full list!
