Layle By Mail Season Pass Winter Spring 2.0 February Edition!

Today I’m sharing four cards made with the latest Layle By Mail Season Pass 2.0 for Winter/Spring. The paper pack includes (12) exclusive 12x12 double-sided papers (and the 12x12 cover sheet also has an additional pattern on the back side!). I also used the exclusive die cuts and wordstrip stickers on my designs.

From ringing in the new year in January, Valentine fun in February, and the magic of Spring in bloom, everything in the Winter/Spring Season Pass 2.0 is designed to help you capture the season’s most meaningful moments with ease and style. My focus today was creating four February/Valentine/Love themed cards.

This kit is ideal for documenting special moments or creating fun cards to celebrate the change of season with family and friends. The papers and die cuts are easy to separate into the different occasions, but are also perfectly coordinated to work together if you like.

I like to use the 3x4” journaling cards to create focal points for my designs. They are usually a solid color which makes them perfect for layering over busy pattern papers. Some even have printed sentiments so all you need to do is add embellishments!

The die cut pack also includes some labels perfect for personalizing your designs. You can add the name of the recipient or a sentiment. This label with the little heart print was perfect for layering with more die cut hearts.

The kit has everything you need to make all of my cards. The only items I added are the card bases, solid cardstock matts, adhesives and gems from my stash.

I think these cards will be great for sending love across the miles, and for celebrating anniversary or engagement news. Whatever you decide, you know it’s going to look great because everything is color matched and perfectly coordinated to work together.

Here's a photo of all four cards together so you can see the variety of things you can make.

I'll be sharing four more later in the month so stay tuned!

I Love You A Choco Lat

Have you seen the Chocolate Love stamp set from Pink and Main? If you're a chocaholic like me you're going to love these!

 

I inked and then colored the images with alcohol ink. The hardest part was deciding which of the images to use. I decided on a pair of bon bons layered over some stitched hearts.

The background is shades of pink topped with the loopy frame that reminds me of the little swirl they put on top of different chocolates so that you know what's on the inside. (Told you I know my chocolate!)

I added a few sentiments - one along the top, and another along the bottom to draw your eye across the design. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of gems for some added sparkle and shine!

I'm linking up to Sweet Stampin' Challenge where the theme is All You Need is Love. I hope you find some time to play.

Valentine Word Scenes

It's Saturday! I hope your weekend is off to a good start and that you've got something fun planned! I'm playing at the Crafty Calendar Challenge where this time Love is In The Air!

Top to bottom I started with the Valentine Word Scene "I Love You" stamp from Pretty Pink Posh. It was easy to color and then cut with the coordinating die set. I used alcohol makers and shaded the letters in pink, and the hearts in red!

I layered the die cut on a background of Eyelet Hearts.  I cut them in different color to create more layers.

The background is created with the dies. These are border strips that assemble like a puzzle to create a nice flat background. I actually own two of each set so I can cut lots at one time. The stitching makes them a little difficult to get out of the metal die so be sure to add some wax paper between your cardstock and the die.

I hope you find some time to play along! Crafting is the best medicine for the stress of everyday life!
