Basket of Hearts!

Hello, Happy Wednesday!

Bunny here with a Basket of Hearts!

I wanted to do a monochromatic card using this pink 110 lb cardstock, which is one of my favorites!

I started with the largest Basic Rectangle Backdrop, then layered the largest Stitch Dot Rectangle Backdrop on it AFTER using the NEW Heirloom Hearts Stencil ~ I love this new stencil~ using Brutus Monroe Glitter Glaze in Alabaster. It gives just that nice subtle shimmer!

Then I cut the Bountiful Basket out using the Easter Basket drop in to create the stitching accent, added a matching Bow from the Easter Basket Add on Die Set and popped it out with foam tape. The stems are also from that die set and the hearts are the smallest die in the Stitch Dot Heart Die Set.

I cut a sentiment strip from the So Many Stitched Sentiment Strips Die Set and stamping using a sentiment from Happy Hearts Stamp Set.  The pictures don't do it justice! The stenciled background gives it an elegant touch!

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a blessed week!

Red Glitz Valentine!

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

Today I have an elegant but pretty simple card ~ you know me, easy peasy is my favorite way to make cards.

For this card, I grabbed my Vintage Floral Flourish Background Stamp, some Wow Embossing Ink and Wow Red Glitz embossing powder and created these lovely backgrounds for the Slimline Heart Window Cover Plate. It gives me Red Velvet vibes!

Using the Love from the same set, and a couple sentiments from Happy Hearts Stamp set.  I added the red Slimline Essentials Backdrop in Red and there you have a beautiful card!

The Sentiment banners are also from the Slimline Essentials Backdrop Die Set, they were perfect for this scriptures.

Thank you for visiting today! Enjoy the rest of your week!

A Pair of Valentines!

 Hello, so Tuesday night on our live we decided to feature the Happy Hearts Stamp Set. This set is a 6x8" stamp set that features two heart graphics and a bow graphic.  it's kind of a sleeper set because it came out right when the pandemic was starting and shows were stopping!

Our Stitch Dot Heart Backdrop dies match the two hearts and will cut them out.

 

So so I decided to use the set and do two similar cards but with totally different types of coloring. 

For this card I use the new watercolors that Jillian got, they are Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI  from Japan. We had seen them used by several designers and decided to try them.

They are a lot of fun but it does take a lot of patience. The colors are just very vibrant and beautiful! I didn't do this on the live because it's kind of boring watching me paint and letting it dry. So you'll see where we take that image and use one of the heart dies to cut it out on the video.

I used the the Mini Slim Backdrop Die and the new yet to be released Mini Slim Quatrefoil Cover Plate as the card base, and a Sentiment Strip from the Slimline Essentials Backdrop Die Set. 

For this one I embossed with clear Wow Embossing Powder and then went over it using Jillian's Signature Ink Blending brushes with Villainous Potion and Worn Lipstick distress ink, and once you do that, gently wipe it with a paper towel and it will bring out the white of the cardstock, under the clear embossing powder. Then I popped them both up using Foam Tape, on the Mini Slim Backdrop Die and the new yet to be released Mini Slim Quatrefoil Cover Plate.  This plate will be coming out in February and will be shipping at the end of February. It's gorgeous just like her other quatrefoil cover plates which is one of her most popular cover plate designs. I used a Sentiment Strip from the Slimline Essentials Backdrop Die Set. 

Here is the video if you would like to watch! Warning: we do chit chat a lot!

Thanks for stopping by!
