Mini Valentines

Mini Valentine's Cards

Those are the little note cards I will be putting in my son's and daughter's care packages.

I am using some die cuts I purchased last Thursday at the Anaheim scrapbook fair.

It is always a challenge to come up with Valentine's cards ideas manly enough for our boys.

So I hid the heart on top of a cupcake, hoping it won't be too obvious.

I used Classic Scalloped Squares SM Spellbinder Nestabilities, and slid my folded paper just enough as to get the little holes close to the hinge, but not too much.

I printed a sheet of "Happy Valentine's Day" and cut the square with a punch, I then stamped my cupcake, used  a copic marker for the heart and added some Sparkle Scribbles gel as frosting.

The girl's card are a little more, well, girlish! I basically followed the same model but I used a Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Dolly Square for the cards, changed the coloring of the cupcake and added a border made with those new Skinny Stampers from Stamps by Judith.

Until Next Time!

Birthday Tree

DO YOU MEAN...

... you've never heard of a Birthday tree?

Look below, here is one of those. Actually this tree is as versatile as a card can be.

You can use all kind of mini stamps and it can become a Money Tree, a St Patrick's Day Tree, a Halloween tree, a pear Tree (how boring, though), and the list goes on and on...

Well, mine is a Birthday tree, complete with party hat, cupcakes, balloons and gifts.

This wonderful tree stamp is another great idea from Stamps by Judith. It is called Tree for All seasons.

The little stamps or Stubbies are also from the same company.

I also used some 3D Crystal Lacquer on top of the coloring to make the little images stand out.

I know you cannot tell on this picture... you are going to have to trust me on that...

The pile of gift is a cut out image of the larger Pile Of Gift stamp from the same company.

Until next time....

Cupcake on Shimmery Champagne

Cupcake.

Another beautiful stamp from ITTY BITTY, a simple cupcake from the set I'll Always Love You.

On top of a blank card with a shimmery champagne matting, and using copic markers to make the image pop up.
