Clean and Simple Valentine...

My last card for this month is a Clean and Simple Valentine.  No designer paper on this only cardstock, I sewed around the edges for some detail.  The hearts are the inside scraps from the Heart and Heart Delights dies from Memory box.  I added a rub on (I love you) from Pebbles Ink.  Easy Peasy!  All supplies can be found at A Scrap-N-Place.

Loving this month's theme of hearts...  Did I mention that Valentine's day is my favorite holiday to make cards for? Well, it is!  For this card I used Paper from BoBunny, the heart die from Memory Box and also the heart delights die from Memory box.  I added some velvet ribbon and the "I love you" is a rub-on from Pebbles Ink, the black bling is from Want2Scrap.  All materials can be found at A Scrap-N-Place.

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink, with a project I am very excited about.  When Terri showed me this fun stamp set from Cas-ual Fridays called 'Sands of Time' I just knew I had to play with it.  Here is my card.

How cute is that egg-timer with a little glitter added? And the sentiments are just great.  There are 12 stamps in total in this set.

The sliver 'pointer' on the side slides up and down so that you can position it on the sentiment of your choosing.  Here is a list of  products I used (available at A Scrap N Place)

Silver glitter Card stock
Red designer paper - Authentique Smitten 'Written'

Pink and Black

Most people don't think of pink and black as colors for Valentine's day but I love the combo.  I am using paper from BoBunny, the heart is the scrap from the heart die (memory box) that I used on my first card of the month-love that you can use the leftovers! I ran the white panel through my cuttlebug with the Hero Arts Die (swirls).  Added some pretty black lace and tule for a bow.  The little bobbles in the corners are Dew Drops.  All supplies can be found at A Scrap-N-Place.

'Hello' and I'm feeling 'Negative'

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink with my first post of 2014 - thanks once again Terri for allowing me to 'play' over here.  I actually have two projects to show you today, one kind of 'grew' from the other - you'll see what I mean.

My first project is a 'Hello' card made using paper from the Authentique "Irresistible' line.

I love the combination of black, white and red, it's just classical.  Here is a list of products I used (available at A Scrap N Place)

Red  & Black card stock
White designer card stock - Authentique Irresisitible -  'Written'
Black designer card stock - Authentique Irresisitible - 'Passion'
Memory Box Die - Sofia Heart
Crystal gems
'Hello' sentiment stamp (Stampin' Up)

Here is a close-up, where you can see the 'bling' a little better.

Now I promised you 2 projects, and this second one grew out of the card after I had cut the hearts out.  The negative piece (the bit we usually throw away) just looked too pretty not to use, so here is what I came up with.

How simple and cute are those?  I hope you will pop over to my blog to take a look at some close up photos of these tags.

See you next time.

Michelle

Happy New Year Everyone, I hope your new year started in the right way!  Wishing everyone the best in 2014.  Here is my first card of the year, Valentine's Day- my favorite card making holiday!  This would be a great Valentine's day card or perfect for a wedding or engagement.  I used the Heart die from Memory Box and the Glittered paper is from Best Creation. The love stamp is just a little one that I had on hand and the chalk ink is from Color Box.
