Morning friends, hope you are all doing well on this fine day- you have made it past hump day!  Today I have my last Valentine for the month- can you believe it is next week.  I made this using scraps of Authentique paper, I hand cut the heart and added the little cherub using the die from QuicKutz it is cut out of Vellum.  I hope you all have a wonderful VD.

Be My Valentine

Happy Sunday!

It's Ceal, back with you to share another Valentines card. This one uses some Canvas Corp and  Authentique (the little card) design paper. The heart is a stamp from Hero Arts that is a set of four different ones and they are adorable and great to use on mixed media projects as well (see last weeks post).  The small clothes pin is also by Canvas Corp, they are too cute! 

Valenines is just around the corner so be sure to stop in and get your supplies

King Of My Heart

Hi there, and thanks for stopping by!

It's Ceal here to share another Valentines card with you. This one was simple and easy to make and I didn't even use a stamp (which is very unusual for me).

To make my card I started with some cream cardstock for my base A2 sized and my main panel in cream as well.  I used two different Impression Obsession Dies and the image is Authentique design paper. Easy peasy card you can make for Valentines and Terri has all the supplies to make it. 

Sweet Valentine Wishes

Hugs,
Stephanie

Hi there and thanks for stopping by!

It's Ceal here to share my first card of the new year with you. We are gearing up for Valentines at A Scrap N Place and have lots of new dies, stamps and papers for your Valentine card making. I used one of the new stamp sets from Hero Arts and the newest paper from one of my favorite paper line Authentique. I love he pink and brown combo and Authentique is bringing it back this year. I finished my card off my sewing around the heart with my machine and adding some twine from Maya Road and of course a bling. You can find all these supplies in the store. 

Happy Holidays from a 'Tartan Miss'

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - thank you Terri for having me.  My card today is probably one of my very favorite, probably because it uses one of the new Prima dolls, but also because I love this Authentique 'Believe' paper.

 
How cute is she dressed in her tartan outfit?  The hat is actually part of the set included with the Prima 'Dog Treats' stamp set, and the bag is from the Prima 'Boutique Set'.  What do you think of her 'fur' trimmed boots?

Thanks for stopping by today.

Distressed Christmas Tree

I am back with my final Christmas card for you.  I used the Couture Creations embossing folder again, I cut the tree out and did some distressing with Tim Holtz Distress ink, added some crystals, a star and Ribbon and of course paired it with some paper from Atuthentique.  Out of all the cards I made for Christmas I like this one best, my hubby says it is "not me" but I love it!

Christmas Cards from Scraps

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - as always Terri thanks for having me.  Today I have two cards made up from leftover scraps of paper.

I saw this card on Pinterest, and loved how simple it was.  Here is a link to the original card http://www.scrapbook.com/gallery/image/card/4079127.html .

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the date and the holly leaves, and then used sequins for the berries.

For my second card I used strips of patterned paper to weave a colourful background for the heart die (from Memory Box).

Here is a close-up and a look at the sentiment inside.

I hope you liked my projects this week - see you next time.

Embossing and Lace

Happy Thursday everyone, I am back with a sweet Christmas note card for you.  Today I am using this sweet stocking die cut by Poppy stamps, paired with paper from Authentique, some lace and twine.  I punched out 2 ovals and embossed the one panel with my swirls embossing folder from Hero Arts.

Don't you just love the sequin ornaments?

Hello Fall

It's Ceal here to share a quick and easy fall card with you.  Terri has this new Authentique paper in, which is really supposed to be wedding papers. but I am here to show you, you can make fall cards as well with them. I used my design paper as a background for my stamp and simply sponged around the edges. I love how it turned out and it was super easy.

The stamp I used is from Sweet 'n Sassy

Broomstick Parking Only

Happy Saturday! This is the rest of my Halloween cards for this month. It has been fun creating them!  I used some fun patterned papers from Authentique for the background.

Glitter Fun

Happy Sunday! 

It's Ceal here to share with you today. My card uses a couple Memory box dies and some of the newest Authentique paper. When I first saw this paper I thought wedding but then I added some glitter and a couple Memory box dies and it became Christmas. 

The glitter I used is called Celestial and it is gold and a touch of ivory mixed in, and it's gorgeous. The company that makes it is Sparkle N Sprinkle, they were at the Expo yesterday and have tons of fun glitter, flocking and embossing powder. The good news is Terri is inquiring about carrying some of their products in the future.

Summertime Fun

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - as always thank you Terri for having me.

For my final card  this month I am using a Prima doll and more Authentique papers. I don't usually go for this kind of colour scheme - but they are so bright and cheerful.

I paper pieced this girl and added a handbag (from the boutique stamp set by Prima) and a pair of sunglasses (another brad from my stash,)

I've also given this girl some facial features using a stamp set from Peachy Keen - love how cute this makes her look.

Thanks for stopping by today.  See you next time.
