Hello, hello crafty friends!
I can hardly believe that this year is almost over! Wow, time really flies!! But before I say hello to the year 2016, I want to enjoy the most awesome Simon Says Stamp You Have My Heart Blog Hop with you, YAY!!!
Simon Says Stamp released Valentine themed products in December! And today I want to share with you my cards with them.
For my first card, I used Roses For You and Big U Words stamp sets. First I 1) Stamped the rolled roses from Roses For You set onto watercolour paper panel using embossing ink, white heat embossed. 2) Coloured the roses with several Distress inks: Festive Berries, Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, and Mustard Seed. 3) Coloured the leaves with several Distress markers: Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough, and Lucky Clover. 4) Stamped the sentiment from Big U Words set on the watercoloured panel using embossing ink, Liquid Platinum heat embossed. 5) Mounted the watercoloured panel on Fog Gray card base using double-side tape. 6) Embellished with a few PPP clear sequins.
I made another watercolour flower card with Roses For You stamp set. I am so in love with this set :D
For my last card today, I used Mini Flowers And Leaves dies in a creative way. First I 1) Traced the medium-sized heart shape from Nested Hearts Dies lightly onto white paper panel using a pencil. 2) Positioned Mini Flowers And Leaves dies inside the traced heart, then die cut them. 3) Die cut arrow from Schoolhouse Red card stock using Scribble Heart And Arrow Dies. 4) Die cut the word “Love” from white card stock five times using I Love You Word Dies, glued them together, then gold heat embossed. 5) Mounted all elements as shown to top-folded kraft card base.
