My True Love

Good morning - the week's almost over and it's February already!

It's Thursday which means it's Inspiration day over on the Prickley Pear blog and I have a couple of cards to share with you today. 

The first one is a Valentine's Card using the stunning Large Swirl Heart:

I die cut a large heart and stamped the image into the center with red ink - I did re-stamp it 3 times to get the rich red color and as you can see despite this it hasn't lost any of it's fine swirl detail.

I matted my white card base with red card and a heart design paper. The white heart was placed on the card to position the My True Love wording. Once I had stamped my sentiment I adhered by white heart in place using foam tape.

Save the Date

Here's my last but not least showcase for the Prickley Pear new release week 

For anyone planning a wedding I have made a cute little save the date card

I stamped the Save the Date sentiment in embossing ink and then heat embossed gold powder. Next I used the same technique on the banner using black embossing powder - both these stamps are from the Love Banner Stamp set. I added the date in the gold using number stamps. Nothing else was needed this is a timeless look that would be great to follow through as a wedding theme. I used black and gold mats to tie in wit the embossing.

Cupcake

Good afternoon I'm staying with the sweet treats today!

I've got the cutest cupcake from Prickley Pear to show you

Doesn't that look yummy!

I used the Valentine Cupcake stamp set, stamped colored and fussy cut each piece. I then layered the hearts on the frosting to give more dimension. These were they coated in glossy accents. I shaped the base and the frosting and used glue gel to adhere to my gingham card so that the image maintained its rounded shape.

I matted my card base in bright pink card and added my topper. I then stamped Valentine and the little birds with hearts from the Love Banner Set to balance the image out

Candy candy and more Candy

Good Morning TGIF!!! It's been a busy week and today is no different! House work - yes the dirty word - needs doing before I can enter the craft room!

A sweet day on here today I have some candy to show you! No I haven't made candy but have made some cute gift wrapping for it. 

First of all I have a little drawer box to show you:

I made the box using pale and bright pink card. I then stamped the same bright pick with stamps from the Love Banners Set. I colored the hearts and leaves with Glittery gel pens. I then chose a green card to match in with the gel pen and matted this onto the top of the box before adding my images.

I used the pale pink and green card to make a handle for the drawer glued this in place and added gold brads for decoration. 

It is filled with chocolate hearts Yummy!

The second wrapping is a gift bag:

Isn't that Love Birds Stamp adorable??

I stamped it twice and colored with Alcohol markers and pencils. I added the Love stamp from the Love Banners Set. I then die cut 2 fancy edged pieces of red card. These were glued together at the top making a fold over top for my candy bag. I matted my colored images onto either side of the card.  I then used a tape runner to adhere the top to the bag.
