Valentine Petal Card Punch

Here is a more vintage-y Valentine's card for you.  I really roughed up the edges of the card stock, especially the DSP.  That I wanted to give a more ripped/very distressed look.  I used the Jolly Holiday DSP since I have quite a bit left over from Christmas projects and workshops.  There are a few sides of this paper that you can use for non-holiday projects which makes it quite versatile.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:  Jolly Holiday DSP, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze Textured card stock

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler

Accessories:  Petal Card Punch, Staple, Distresser, Modern Label Punch, Dimensionals, Heart to Heart Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Victoria Crochet Trim, Glue Dots

4-1/4 x 5-1/2 card

Take a Spin to Valentine's Day

Just a heads up that the next number of cards will be Valentine's Day cards.  Have you planned your V-Day yet?  We usually have a fondu that day for dinner.  Something to make it special for the whole family.  I think I'll go for a chocolate fondu this year!

On this card I inked up the Take a Spin stamp in Pink Pirouette ink and then used a Real Red marker to colour the Valentine's triangle.  I just coloured right over the pink ink since the red is a darker colour.

The pink scallop is not a border punch, but punched out circles.  The circles are then glued in place to look like a large scalloped border.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Take a Spin

Paper:  Basic Grey, Pink Pirouette, Playdate DSP, Whisper White,

Ink:  Pink Pirouette, Real Red Marker

Accessories:  Game Spinner Hands, Dimensionals, Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon, 1" Circle Punch, Pinking Hearts Border Punch

Sweet & Sour Bird Cage

Have I told you that I love the Aviary stamp set?!?!  Yes, I think it's getting a bit redundant but I will not apologize and keep on using it!

For this card I got my inspiration from THIS card.  I love the doodling on the borders of the card.  I don't usually think to do that but it sure adds a nice effect.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Aviary, A Little Birthday Cheer

Paper:  Sweet and Sour DSP, Basic Black, Rose Red, Whisper White

Ink:  Black Marker, Rich Razzleberry,  Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

Accessories:  Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Black Brads, Glue Dot

Take Two

Yesterday I posted a card I made using the idea from the Stampin' Success magazine.  Today I changed it up a little.  Different stamps, accessories and colours.  If you have a layout that really works for you, keep it.  Just change it up by using other products and it will look like a new card.  :)
