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 Stamping 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!

Candy Cane Christmas

Have you seen the newest collection from Pretty Little Studio? It's called Candy Cane and it's just gorgeous! I'm a multi color light gal myself and I can't resist the rainbow candy colors in this collection!

Melissa pulled out all the stops on this collection! It includes prints on paper, clear acrylic and vellum. There are loads of die cuts - think frames, tags, images and words. My favorites would have to be the die cut strings of garland and fun hand drawn florals and foliage.

 

I used a clear sticker sentiment on my card today. I simple stuck it on a piece of white cardstock and then die cut it with a sentiment strip flag. You could easily use a punch in another shape. This collection even has clear sticker faux stitches for embellishing.

A die cut tag is the focal point on this card. Adding a faux stitched heart along the top and bottom creates a focal point for the sentiment. The string of garland draws your eye from the top to the bottom so you can soak up all that eye candy!

t's never a bad time to start working on your holiday cards, and when this paper is so pretty it feels magical making!
