Happy Heart Day!

Happy Valentine's Day and happy hump day! Popping in to share two quick Valentine's day cards using some alcohol inked backgrounds and all die cuts except for a portion of the sentiments!

I made the alcohol inked backgrounds a while ago. The first card features a mix of pinks, corals, reds and a touch of the Copper Mixative.  I just had to use my Falling Hearts Confetti Cuts by Reverse Confetti, it was backordered everywhere and I managed to get one from the oh so fast to ship Vanessa at Butterfly Reflections just in time for Valentine's day. I die cut it from woodgrain and vellum and stacked them for an offset look. I actually used glossy accents to glue the vellum and I am really impressed - you can't see the glue at all. This was a quick and easy one to put together I used a Lawn Fawn banner and sentiment and popped it up with foam tape. The tiny hearts are by Doodle Bug they are the cutest ever and come in a rainbow assortment.

This one was just as simple, mostly the same Alcohol Ink colors only I added the Silver Mixative. The cover die is by Tailored Expressions, another new product I just picked-up. I decided to turn it into a shaker card. I finished off the card with the Simon Says Stamp brush script Hugs die and the same Lawn Fawn Valentine sentiment only partially stamped.

Hope you are having a happy heart day, thanks for taking the time!

Happy flowers in winter!!

Happy Monday! Kim here with you this morning and I am sharing a bright happy floral card! I am not of fan of winter, and like many of you the snow has decided to invade in February this year!

I started with a Strathmore Bristol card base cut to 5.5 x 12 which are the measurements indicated by the directions for the fantastic Concord and 9th Hugs die.  I lined up my die as directed in the video on the Concord and 9th blog and then folded my card accordingly.  I then took the Winnie and Walter In Bloom: Addie's Garden stamps (I simply love all of their In Bloom collection) and stamped my images with Versamark Ink.  I only needed one mask of the larger flower to be able to stamp the other florals and leaves. I did have to be carful of warping because I had to heat emboss each image as I went.

I then took my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers (two of each shade) and my water brush to color my images.  I then die cut the hugs die (only the word) out of black card stock and cut them to size. I wanted a shadow to make the die pop off the card. I topped off the card with my go to Tailored Expressions sequins.

Have a great week!

Kim
