Valentine inspiration 2014-2

And more inspiration for you with

Michael Strong's turtle stamp

and Create with TLC heart and part of the sentiment.

Both the heart and the sentiment are printed on kraft paper.

As you can see I used my sewing machine to fasten the heart to 

the background. The turtle is stamped in versamark 

and embossed in red embossing powder. The shell is

colored with festive berries and the body of the

animal with antique linnen distress ink. Little red gemstones

make the turtle special for Valentine.

The sentiment is real "Sweet wonderful you" 

but I cut the words apart and added turtele-y from

one of my other stamps by Joanna.

Inside the card I used Michael Strong's mini heart

and a Club Scrap sentiment,with a bit of the cut off

from the bront background scrap paper.

The hearts are stamped with vesamark on kraft paper

and embossed with red embossing powder.

Andother fun card is this one with the sock monkey:

The sock monkey is an image from Bugaboo

and the sentiment is by Create with TLC.

The heart in the background is done with a scallopped and a normal

spellbinder heart. The inside heart is embossed with tiny heart

embossing folder.

The embellishment is made with the rosette die

from Tim Holtz and the sentiment on top.

Hope you have a Valentine to send your card to.

More inspiration tomorrow!

If you have any wishes for cards,or you

like mine enough to buy,just let me know.

Valentine inspiration 2014

In the coming days I will share some old and new 

Valentine ideas.

This is a frame I made for my DH some time agoo

with the use of some old Club Scrap

Valentine papers and stamps.

For this project I used an old frame I had lying 

around. It is quite small: each frame is 3,5"x 3,5".

I sanded the frames and painted themwith red acrylic paint.

For decoration I used,beads and ribbons and a heart shaped

paper clip. Also I stamped some texts on shrink plastic

and meated it with a heat gun to make it shrink.

The text and images inside the frame are stamped

on greay paper and embossed with 

white embossing powder.

Or how about a cute card with your box of choclates?

This one is made with digital images from

Create with TLC and you can fint it here

and here.

The picture is colored with copic markes.

Well enough inspiration for today.

More tomorrow!!

Have a creative day!

Graffiti Valentine gift idea

With Valentine around the corner

I have another cute idea for you

with Club Scrap's Graffiti papers.

It looks a bit like a bookmark/tag.

It is a label that you can hang from 

a bunch of flowers or a litle gift,

although it is a little gift by itself.

The front is decorated with some left

overs from yesterdays blog hop

tutorial (here)

This is the template. Use a strip of 

2"x 11" of your choice of paper.

Use this template to draw the tip that

is folded around the necklace or bracelet

and slipped into the cutted line.

Here you se it completedon the inside.,

with a necklace with hearts folded inside.

The sentiment is from the Club Scrap

Fizz kit. 

Of course you can use any paper

and make this for all kinds of occasions.

Have a creative day!

Valentine inspiration from Create with TLC

 

With Valentine around the corner

Create with TLC has some wonderful

digital images and for such low prices.

 

Paulette has asked me to make some

cards to inspire your to use this set:

Love love amore

 

For the first card, I printed

the cuped image on pink paper.

Behind it you see a large heart

cut out with spellbinders.

The background is a piece of scrap paper.

 Inside the card I  used the sentiment

and added a piece of the same scrap paper.

 

 The wings of cupid are covered with

glitter glue and the body with

glossy accent.

 On the second card I made the cupid image

look like a tile. First it is printed on

a piece of white paper and  colored

with a blending tool with distress ink

worn lipstick and fired brick.

 

The background is a piece of scrap paper

stamped with SU! French Script.

 

The number are cut with the cricut.

Ribbon and little sticky pearls

are used to finish the card.

 And the last card is a square card

with the circle sentiments.

 The center sentiment is not on the front

of the card, but a cirtcle is cut out and

you see this sentiment is inside the card.

All circles are colored with  a blender tool

and distress inkpads.

The roses are colored with distress markers.

 



The branches on the front of the card are made

with a die and little sticky gemstone

flowers are added to the branches.

 

Have a creative day!



Faux Postage for Valentine

 Valentine cards are so wonderful to make

and while I am into all these postage cards for Club Scrap,

I also made some for my Michael Strong group.

 

I needed a fitting sentiment and I found one at 

Create with TLC. When you married to the most 

wonderful man, he is not only my Valentine, 

but my heart keeps fluttering even when I think of him!

So this is my card for him.

This is what I used:

Club Scrap paper

Bakers twine from my stash

Michael Strong mini cloisonné heart

Create with TLC sentiment Heart Flutter

Club Scrap wings and love sentiment.

 For the Faux Postage technique there is a turorial for you

just a few posts before this one.

Valentine Challenge

In de Michael Strong yahoogroep

heeft Michael ons uitgedaagd een Valentijnskaart te maken,

waar je niet de kleuren roze, rood en paars in terug vindt.

Dit is mijn kaart geworden.

Ik heb hiervoor het mini hart van Michael Strong

 gebruikt en de tekst is van Club Scrap.

De harten zijn geembossed met zwarte, witte en gouden embossing poeder.

Op een hartje heb ik een knoop en een wit roosje vast

gezet. Je kunt daarvan hieronder het detail zien.

In the Michael Strong Yahoogroup,

Michael has set a challenge to make a Valentine's card

without the colors pink, red and purple.

This is my card for the challenge.

I used Mike's mini heart stamps for this card

and embossed them with black, white and gold embossing powder.

The sentiment is by Club Scrap.

Here you see a detail of the one heart were a button is added

with tin gold wire and a white flower.

If you click on the photo, you see even a larger version.

Have a creative day!
