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.

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

WANTED!!!!!

Hello -  I'm back again with another fab new release over at My Whimsical Little World - 2 adorable little western characters - Howdy Partner and Howdy Lass!

 

Me being a girly girl decided I would use the Howdy Lass cowgirl but with a twist I have made her quite girly:

 

She is colored with my Spectrum Noir Markers and I just had to use pink! However some girls can be real trouble causers and she is certainly ready to draw those guns so I had to add a bit of  naughtiness to the card

 

 

So here she is Wanted - dead or alive! I die cut the image with a tonic die and then inked the edges. I then used a spellbinder cattails die to cut the embellishments using Kraft card. I printed the sentiment on the backing paper using my PC and matted this onto more Kraft card.

So she is a Badass cowgirl who loves pink!

 

Why not go and check out the other new release - a cowboy - they could ride off to the sunset together!

I couldn't resist coloring it:

 

I have used Spectrum Noir Markers and just had to make them chocolate cupcakes! I have then added a fabulous sentiment which is a So Suzy Stamp and made a pair of cherries from Skittles just to balance the design. It has then been matted onto a deep pink card and added to a white card blank.
