Valentine's Day Dino

Hello & Happy Monday my crafty friends! With Valentine's Day around the corner, I figured I'd try to get a head start on my Valentine's Day cards. Today I am sharing a card I created using the Cutie KaToodles Valentine Dino from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

Is he not the cutest little Dino you ever saw?!?!  This paper piecing was created using Bazzill Cardstock and was cut using my Cricut Explore Air 2.  The pieces were inked using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and were adhered together using Art Glitter Glue.

This is an A2 sized card and the card base was made using 110lb. ReCollections white Cardstock. The embossed card mat was cut from the ReCollections Valentine's Day Embossed Paper Pad. I added Stickles to the middle of some random hearts on the card mat to add some interest.

The sentiment in the middle of the heart is a stamp from the ReCollection's Valentine's Day clear stamp set. It was stamped using Versa Fine Onyx Black Pigment Ink.

Below is a complete list of supplies and materials used to create this super fun card:

You're as Sweet as Candy

Hello crafty friends and Happy Valentine's Day!! 💗 Today I am bringing you a sweet card created with a digital stamp from KaDoodle Bug Designs. Meet Ellie the Elephant.....Isn't she the cutest?!?!

Ellie and her chocolate candies screamed Valentine's Day to me, so I had to get her and color her up for a quick card.  I used my Spectrum Noir Markers and Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils to color her up and bring her to life. I added some accents to her using a White Gelly Roll Pen and finished her off by adding Glossy Accents to her candy.  I think she looks just darling! 

As she was set off to the side to dry, I started on my card base. My card is an A2 sized card and the base was made using 80lb Neenah White Solar cardstock. I cut a piece of ReCollections Gray cardstock 1/8" smaller than my card base and adhered it onto the base using my permanent Scotch Adhesive tape runner. I then cut another mat out of patterned paper from Stampin' Up! Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack, 1/8" smaller than the Gray mat and adhered it using the same adhesive.

Next, I die cut a heart patterned piece of cardstock from the Teresa Collins - Save the Date Designer Series Parper Pad using the Stitched In Circles dies from Craftin Desert Divas and adhered that onto my card mats.  I added my sweet elephant to the center of my die cut using adhesive foam squares so that she would pop just a little bit. 

My sentiment, "You're Sweet as Candy" is from the Sweet Shop Stamp Set from Craftin Desert Divas. I stamped the sentiment onto my card using Versamark Ink and heat embossed it using my heat gun and Stampendous! Stamp-n Stuff Embossing Powder in Detail Silver. I then added some twine from ReCollections to finish it off. 

Below is a complete list of all the materials and supplies I used to create this card:

Valentine Dragon

Happy Monday my crafty friends! Today I am bringing you another Valentines Day card I created using the super cute Eggie Buddies Valentine Dragon from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  Is this not the cutest Dragon you have ever seen !?!?!

This card measures 5" x 5". My card base is ReCollections Card Stock. My adorable Valentine Dragon is made using Bazzill Card Stock and the patterned paper used is from the ReCollections Valentine's Day 6x6 Paper Pad.

I started off by uploading the Valentine Dragon SVG File into Cricut Design Space and used my Cricut Explore to cut out all of the pieces. Once everything was cut, I then inked and chalked all of my pieces using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks. I adhered all the pieces together using Art Glitter Glue, added some highlights using a White Gelly Roll Pen and then added some Glossy Accents to his sunglasses to gain that reflective shiny look.

I stamped "I ❤ U" from the Craftin Desert Divas - Sending Love Stamp Set in the center heart using my Versamark Stamp Pad and heat embossed it using ReCollections Tinsel Embossing Powder. I used my Inside Scalloped Square Dies from Carftin Desert Divas to die cut my patterned paper to form my frame for this card.

Snowman Full of Love

Hello crafty friends and Happy New Year!!! I hope that you all enjoyed the Holidays and were able to spend lots of time with friends and loved ones.  I still can't believe how fast the year flew by. I'm excited for the New Year and all it will have to offer.  

I have been very busy crafting since Christmas as I have received lots of exciting and new crafting goodies that I had asked for ("Santa" was VERY good to me)! So make sure that you stay tuned as I promise that I will be sharing a lot more of my creations with you all.

With that being said, today I am sharing a card that I created using an adorable SVG file from KaDoodle Bug Designs entitled Full of Love.

This is a very simple and fun card to create and I have listed all of the supplies and materials that I have used below:

• Card Base: A2 (4.25" x 5.5") using 80lb. Neenah white card stock

• Card Base Mat: Cut 1/8" smaller than base using Stampin' Up! Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack.

Patterned paper used for the snowman's scarf and some of the hearts is from the Stampin' Up! Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack as well. The hearts and scarf were all inked using Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Barn Door, Fired Brick and Worn Lipstick. I used Art Glitter Glue to adhere my paper piecing together and a White Gelly Roll Pen to add some highlights to finish it off. 

• Stamped Sentiment: "Love You" is from the Craftin Desert Diva's "Short and Sweet Tags" stamp set and was stamped onto one of the hearts using an acrylic block and Memento - Tuxedo Black Ink.
