Without Further Ado Here Is My Card.

I love all the New products this month. Today on my card, I use the Paper Pad Love & Kisses and Valentine Critter Ephemera.  The pattern paper I used reminded me of a quilt.  I chose to cut strips and and also of the red paper.  Both are so pretty. I cut out a piece of paper A2 size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and glued the strips diagonally onto my A2 panel.

I had a leftover stitched heart from my 1st project earlier this month you can watch the video here. So I used that heart for this card.  I also added this cute Raccoon and present ephemera from the Valentine Critters. The Raccoon is popped up with foam tape.  I stamped a sentiment with black ink on white cardstock from the Birthday stamp set called Say It With Birthday Style Stamp from the Stamp of the Month November. I then cut my sentiment strip and stapled it to some leftover red pattern paper.  I had so much fun making this card.  I hope you join us.  Just link it the the N2S Blog here for a chance to win a $15 GC.

Happy Heart Day Card

 Hello everyone.  Happy January and Happy New Year.  I have a Valentine's Day Card today using some New Stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.  This release is so much fun and I know you will love it.

On this card, I used the New Fancy Heart Stencil 6x6 that comes with a negative heart to help you mask.  I also used the New Shadowed With Love 6x6 Stencil for my sentiment.  I love this stencil for all the sentiments.

I ink blended the Fancy Heart Frame with the Negative Heart Stencil in place with Lawn Fawn Sunflower ink.  I ink blended the sentiment with Lawn Fawn Lobster ink using the Shadowed With Love Stencil. Next, I cut my background to A2 size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and glued it to a A2 card base.  I embellished with some red hearts called Skip A Beat from Trinity Stamps.  I love how it came out.  You can check out the full release here.  My code VonFan10 will help you save 10 percent on your purchases.  I will be back soon with more samples showing the New Release.

Big Love Valentine Card

 Hello everyone.  I have a Valentine card to share today using a New Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Big Love.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

I love this stencil.  Big Love is perfect for all occasions not just for Valentine's Day.  I first started out with watercolor paper.  I painted my paper purple using a Altenew paint pan set.  I used a purple paint pan and I painted it a few layers until I liked the look.  I then placed the Big Love Stencil over my background and I painted with a Yellow, pink, blue, and purple watercolor paint pans.  I went over it with lots of layers.  Some paints bled through but I still liked my results.

When my background was dry I cut it to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 A2 size.  I stamped a sentiment from the Oodles Stamp set in black ink onto my panel as well as some hearts from the same stamp set.  Next, I glued my panel to a Pink A2 card base and glued some yellow clay embellishments to match.  I hope you like my card.  This is a great stencil to have in your stash and I hope you grab it.  

Thank you for stopping by!
