Easter Card and Valentine Sale

 

Happy Valentine's Day! Here with an Easter card for today, but also notice of a sweet Valentine's Day sale over at Stamp Simply!

My card for today features Stamp Simply's Crosses die set as well as their Grace stamp set. Both make for a quick and easy card that is easy to mail.

The card is made up of Echo Park's My Favorite Easter decorator paper along with some vellum. The vellum is layered in the background layers as well as behind the cross, cut with an oval die. 

The cross die cuts and lightly embosses the cardstock. I cut the cross three times and glued together for a more substantial thickness.

Let's take a look at the inside: the sentiment from the Stamp Simply Grace stamp set is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. A strip of designer paper adds an extra touch.

Floral Tag

 

I have a simple and sweet floral wreath tag for you today; perfect for adding to a bouquet of Spring flowers or gift bag. It features Stamp Simply's Seasonal Wreaths--Spring and Summer stamp and die sets.

I began with some Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock. I die cut the tag shape with a Tim Holtz Sizzix Tag Collection die, then spritzed it with some Ranger Tim Holtz Distress and Distress Oxide Spray inks.

While the tag dried, I stamped the wreath and rose shape onto the watercolor paper with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, then colored it with Copic Sketch Markers. The wreath and rose shape were then cut with the matching die from the Seasonal Wreath Spring and Summer die set.

The sentiment from the Seasonal Wreath Spring and Summer stamp set was stamped with the ink.

A lovely bow of May Art Silk (50% off!) was the final touch.

Love You Rose Valentine

 

Another Valentine for you! I really love Stamp Simply's Thinking of You Rose stamp and die set...it's so versatile for different occasions. I love it paired here with Carta Bella's My Valentine decorator paper for a sweet Valentine. 

Let's talk about the paper pieced rose first. I stamped the rose onto white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and also stamped it on a piece of the decorator paper. After coloring the stem of the rose on the white cardstock with Copics, I die cut it with the Thinking of You Rose die. I then fussy cut the rose head from the decorator paper and glued it into place onto the white die cut rose. Love paper piecing in this manner!

The floral background decorator paper looks great layered up with a tag cut from the My Valentine pad with a Tim Holtz Sizzix Tag Collection die.  A sentiment from the Thinking of You Rose stamp set is stamped directly onto the tag with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. 

A May Art's 1/4" silk bow (50% off !) tops things off.

I hope that you have a wonderful week! Thanks so much for stopping in!

Thinking of You--Thinking of Spring!

 

Hello! Yes, now that Christmas and New Years has passed, my mind turns to Spring. I know...so unrealistic! We will have winter here for at least two+ months...our Spring does not arrive until mid April to May. I can always dream! 

My card today features Stamp Simply's Pretty Poppies stamp and die sets. It layers so beautifully over Craft Consortium's Bloom and Wild decorator paper. I love the muted watercolors in this designer paper pad...perfect for a garden backdrop.

I stamped the Pretty Poppies with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (best for Copic coloring) onto white cardstock, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. The poppies were then cut with the die from Stamp Simply's Pretty Poppies die set.  The simple sentiment from the Pretty Poppies stamp set was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, then die cut with Spellbinder Circle dies.

Card of Sympathy

My card for today can be used for many situations or events; today the sentiment is appropriate to send to a friend who has sadly lost her sister. 

It features Stamp Simply's Eucalyptus Silhouettes stamp and die sets, along with Craft Consortium Baroque decorator paper.

 

The eucalyptus image is stamped with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Victorian Velvet ink, then die cut with the Stamp Simply Eucalyptus die. It is layered over the white cardstock tag, die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Framed Tags die (similar tag dies HERE), stamped with a sentiment from the Eucalyptus stamp set, and tied with a bit of tulle ribbon. 

Simple, but delicate and pretty.
