Apothecary Art Birthday

This card is full of goodies from the new Occasions Mini.  The new Framelets dies, the Apothecary Art stamps set that coordinates.  Sponging the edges of the card layers really made it stand out.  I also love the Cherry Cobbler Seam binding.

I used an aqua painter pen to color the images in on the front.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Don't forget that you have until the end of March to get FREE products through our Sale-A-Bration promotion.  Happy Stamping!!!

Valentine's Day Goodies

I found these Sweettarts candy hearts and I knew that the Stampin' Up! 1"X 8" cello bags would be perfect for these treats.  I was able to get twelve hearts into each bag and it still left me with enough room at the top to tie a pretty bow.

 

For the tag, I used the new framelits-labels dies from the Occasions mini album.  I love these.  They are so fun to use!  I cut the label out with Whisper White card stock.  I then used the large heart punch and punched a heart out of Pretty in Pink card stock.  I stamped the "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set in Real Red ink.  I used my two favorite punches to layer together.  I punched the sentiment out with the Word Window punch and then layered it onto the Modern Label punch. 

I used my Crop-a-Dile to punch two holes towards the top of the label and used some Real Red grosgrain ribbon to tie it all together.  I bought two rolls of this ribbon off the Clearance Rack a couple of weeks ago during the Clearance Rack Blitz promotion.  Check the rack often for new deals.  Click HERE to visit the clearance rack!

Valentine's Day Cards

I love this girl stamp.  She is from the Greeting Card Kids set.  I colored her on one image with water color crayons and the other with water color pencils.

In the card above I used the water color crayons.  I used water color paper and it makes all the difference when trying to get nice, vibrant colored images.

 On this card I used the water color pencils.  It's not as vibrant as the crayons, but the color moves a bit better.  I did use the aqua painter with both images and I usually like to use blender pens with the water color crayons.

The base layers are the same for both cards and I used lots of goodies from the Occasions mini.  I used Whisper White and embossed the bottom of the panel with the adorning accents heart folder.  I used the labels framelits dies to matte the focal image. I did 3 score lines above the hearts for a little more interest.
