Me & You

I have four more Valentine cards to share today.  I have used the Photoplay Smitten collection .  I previously posted four other cards using this collection, you can find them HERE if you missed them.

Playing with paper is definitely my favourite, I just love cutting and layering up patterned papers.  I used the cover sheet as the background on this card, I just added die cut ovals, a sticker and a punched border tied with twine.

I used three of the papers, a topper and some stickers on this card.

I used the opposite triangles of paper that were left from the previous card here along with some stickers.

For my final card, I used more of the papers, a topper and some stickers.  I made a rosette from one of the papers and topped it with a sticker.

We have just started planting seeds for the veg garden and greenhouse, it's going to get busy in the garden over the next few months, I'm really looking forward to the warmer weather and spending some time outside.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated - I hope to get some time to visit everyone this week, fingers crossed!

XOXO

I had a little play with my Photoplay Smitten collection a while ago and created some valentine cards.

For this card I used two of the papers, some elements from the ephemera pack to create the little banner, flowers from the sticker sheet and a sentiment fussy cut from one of the toppers.

This time I used four of the papers, some bits and pieces from the sticker sheet and a topper from the paper pad.

Everything on this card is from the collection with the exception of a little heart cut from velum.  I often use velum to separate a focal point from the background when the background is a little fussy, it helps the focal point to stand out a bit. 

Again, everything on this card is from the Smitten collection, I used a Crafter's Companion die to cut the dotty banner from one of the papers, the heart and small sentiment are from the sticker sheet and I cut the larger sentiment from one of the toppers in the paper pad.

Happy Valentine's Day

I decided to use one of the Valentine Bag Toppers that I created earlier, you can see them HERE, to create a card.

I used one of the papers from the Simple Stories Simple Vintage My Valentine collection and also added a sentiment from the collection.  I inked the edges of everything and added some die cut hearts.

Hugs & Kisses

This is another Valentine card, I have used my Simple Stories Simple Vintage My Valentine collection again.

I recently purchased the Lisa Horton Nested Scalloped Slim dies and decided to use them to create my card.  I used two of the papers along with the hearts that were cut from the element sheet, the sentiment is from the sticker sheet, I have backed it with black cardstock so that I could attach it using foam pads.

Valentine Bag Toppers

I have been creating some more Valentine makes using my Simple Stories Simple Vintage My Valentine collection, this time I have created a couple of Valentine Bag Toppers.

I took a couple of doilies and folded them in half, I then decorated them with lots of fussy cuts from the paper collection along with some of the stickers, I always adhere the stickers to card stock and cut them out, this means I can layer them up with foam pads to create dimension.

I used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies to cut the banners from some of the papers, I think I might even make these into some cards, I'm not sure yet.

Twofer Hearts

I decided to enter the Twofer Card Challenge, I've often thought about it but haven't had the time until now.  It is Challenge 23 and the theme is Hearts so I thought I would use the dies from one of my Tonic Craft Kits, I haven't had time to use many of them either!

I used dies from Tonic Craft Kit 16, specifically the scalloped heart die and the die that cuts out the hearts on both of my cards.

I used both dies for the Valentine card along with a sentiment from the Crafter's Companion Sentimentals Greetings - Heartfelt stamp collection.

For the Wedding card I used the same dies along with the larger frame that is also part of Tonic Craft Kit 16.  The Mr & Mrs is from the Sara Davies Rustic Wedding Signature Collection and the papers are from the Tonic Craft Kit.

I would like to enter this card into the Twofer Card Challenge 23 - Hearts.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave - they are all read and very much appreciated.
