You Mean the World to Me

Hello and good day everyone, today I am finally getting around to sharing my cards that I made for my card swap group for the month of February. I know I am a month late, but better late than never right?

Our theme was a choice of wedding, anniversary, or love; and also based on a sketch by Julee Tilman over at Mojo Monday Card Sketch Challenge Blog I went with a simple love theme that I think is pretty universal.  I love this card, it turned out just like I envisioned from the sketch. 

SUPPLIES:
Stamps: Concord & 9th "Map Love" and CTMH "Charming Cascades"
Inks: SU Real Red, SSS Audrey Blue and Versamark
Embossing Powder in Clear, Black and Red
The MISTI was used for all the stamping
I used my Cricut to cut out the circle and scalloped circle
We R Memory Keepers Crop-a-dile Corner Chomper
PPP Sparkling Clear Sequins
Adhesives: ATG adhesive, Scotch Mounting foam, Ranger Multi Medium Matte

Birthday Card Set

Hello everyone, today I am sharing a project I made for my Card swap group. This month's theme is Birthday.  We were supposed to make a card and tag for this. We also started to use sketches each month to change things up a bit.
I don't know about you guys but I like to coordinate things together. So I ended up making my tag to match my card and I went ahead and made a matching envelope also.  I love the colors and had a great time creating this set, I hope you like it too!

Supplies:

Stamp & die set from Sizzix-Lori Whitlock

SSS Christmas 3x4 stamp set

SSS Happy & Smile stamp set

Memento Tuxedo Black ink and marker

SSS Audrey Blue ink

I used my MISTI for all of my stamping

 I stamped the sentiment for the card using Versamark and then heat embossed it using Stampendous Marcasite embossing powder.

SSS Nested Circles dies

My Cuttlebug was used for all the die cutting

SU 2 3/8 scallop punch and also the 1 1/4 scallop punch

I colored in the images with EK Success colored pencils

I used my ATG to adhere everything except I used the 3M Mounting Foam tape on the party hat and the small scallop circle on the tag.

I used the Zig two way glue pen to add some Crystal Art Glitter to the hat for an added bit of sparkle.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope I helped inspire you in some way.

Happy Crafting!
