I Love You So Much

I hope your week is off to a good start! Today I'm playing along at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where this time they want you to "Have A Heart".

My card has lots of hearts. I started with the cute Pretty Pink Posh Valentine Cupcakes. I colored them with Copic Markers and then arranged them on a piece of plastic the size of my card base. This helps me figure out what will go where and makes it easy to slip different papers underneath to help me decide on the background.

This background is a stencil called Half Hearts that I inked on pink cardstock. I used Distress Ink in Candied Apple and Raspberry Fizz for a big WOW! factor.

That big Wow turned into a disadvantage when I added the Scalloped Hearts. To tone it down a little I added vellum behind the hearts and then topped them with a gold foil Hugs Sentiment.

I hope you find some crafty time for yourself and that you get a chance to play along!

Pear Blossom & Pink & Main Collaboration Instagram Hop

🎉 Hey friends! Today, we’re kicking off a 💡BRIGHT 💡 Collaboration Insta-Hop with @pearblossompress and @pinkandmain ! Come hop along with us ON INSTAGRAM and see some awesome light-up cards! Plus, each company will be giving away $25 PRIZES!

I made a scene card with the Pink & Main Polar Friends stamp set. The images were easy to color and then cut with the coordinating die set. I added a snowy tree from the Winter Joy stamp set.

I arranged the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base. I slipped different backgrounds under the arrangement until I decided on this pastel rainbow distress ink blend.

I added some On The Town Gems to make the snow sparkly. Did you notice that "PRESS" stamp on the right edge?

Yep! TWINKLE LIGHTS from Pear Blossom. They were really easy to add to the back of the card. Just insert the battery into the light base and tape the wire lead lights to the back of the card.

I'm excited to give this one to my Mom who will totally get a kick out of this card because Mom is all about the schmancy!

Doggie Kisses for My Best Friend

I've got Miss Moriko on my mind today. Yesterday we had a long night. She was panting, pacing and kept pawing at the side of my bed. Of course I got up and spent the night sitting next to her trying to comfort her. This morning she is looking like her "normal" self. I'm going to keep an eye on her and take her to the vet if I see any other concerning behavior. She's my baby after all!

So today I'm sharing a little puppy love and doggie kisses on this cute gate fold card. The Waffle Flower Intertwined pups attach to the side of the card base so you can open them and reveal the secret message I put inside.

I love that the pups come with accessories like a bandana, collar and tags too. I cut a spot with scissors for the larger dog's chest. I inked the ears and part of the body with Distress Ink to add a little definition. Enamel dots are "eyes".

I colored the noses with a Sharpie black marker, but if your inspired you can cut one and adhere it over the die cut. It does have a partial cut that would make that very simple to do.

Here's how the card looks when it's open. Oh .. and that "doggie kisses" on the cover is a preprinted and die cut strip making it easy to add a little sentiment.

I'm linking up at A Place To Start where they're looking for Gatefold cards. Have a great day!

Crafty Pals

I'm sending you some crafty hugs today with this fun shaker card that is loaded with lots of sweet details! Today I'm working with the Pink & Main Crafty Friends stamp set with coordinating die set. I love the adorable critters using crafty supplies - it makes me SMILE BIG!

I've had some crafty supplies on my wish list for a while and this year I treated myself to the Pink & Main Mini Minc foiling machine. I've used a hot foiler in the past and am never happy with the foil transfer. It is never as clean as I would like - flecks of foil are missing from where they're supposed to be and they're scattered everywhere they're not wanted. The Minc machine works by applying foil to areas that have been treated with toner. Pink & Main has lots of different sheets that they call Foilables. Just select a design (I used Oh Craft) cut a panel of foil and run it through the Minc. Coverage is complete and GORGEOUS! I used Midnight Black Cheerfoil on my card.

In the past I have been disappointed adding color to the hot foil designs I'd create because the ink applicators would remove even more of the foil from my designs making them more blotchy looking. So I was excited to try adding color to the foilable panel. I mean.. they're pretty enough "as is" but if I could add even more color I'd be over the moon. The foilable panels are winners! I would not recommend coloring with Copic or Alcohol markers but using Distress Ink, these hot foil panels and take it. I didn't notice any foil removed from the panel. Another plus that I want to mention is how much foil is on one roll from Pink & Main - 25 feet!! That's a great value!

I created a "flat shaker" using a Zig Zag Rectangle die with some vellum inserted on the underside. You can still see the foil pattern through the vellum, but it softens it so the stamped and die cut images can take center stage. I used a Stitched Rectangles One die for the cover of the card base. I love the clean stitched impression and how the touch of black picks up on the other elements of the design.

I hope you're smiling now too! Have a great day!
