Good Day Love!  Valentine’s Day is just a few short days away, so I am wrapping up my Valentine cards.  Speaking of ‘wrapping it up’ today’s card includes a yummy little treat held with a hug.  🙂  I was inspired by Laura from Doublestick Heaven Blog, she is incredible.

I used the Woodland Friends images that you can find here at Sunsational Stamps.  I fussy cut out the log and the raccoon.  I cut two raccoons and colored the back of the second one then attached them together, that way when I folded the hands inward (to  hold the Hershey Nugget) it would be finished on both sides.  I popped up the leaves on the log and the feet of the raccoon.  I attached the candy with Scor Tape and folded in his paws.  The background was sponged with Distress Inks in the following colors; Faded Jeans, Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Evergreen Bough and Peeled Paint.  I began with the Peacock Feathers which is the center color and built and blended outward.

The sentiments were from the Close To My Heart January Stamp Of The Month set Beautiful Bouquet.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card, and as always we would love it if you would follow our blog by clicking on the “Follow Us” button and Like us on Facebook so you don’t miss a thing!

Hello fellow crafters, I am in the process of making about four trillion holiday cards and tags…well maybe not quite that many, but let me tell you it is A LOT.  So with no further adieu, here is today’s holiday card.  I used You Light Me Up set/images by Sunsational Stamps.  I love how “Merry & Bright” these adorable holiday lights are!

I wanted to make another shaker card because they are so dang fun!  This one I watercolored the background with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.  Next I stamped the sentiment on acetate with StazOn.  I sponged Evergreen Bough Distress Ink onto the little frame I die cut, then attached the acetate to the backside of the frame then on the watercolor background I made a pile of shaker elements…snowflakes, sequins and large glitter flakes by WOW.  I added foam tape to the back of the frame and adhered it over the watercolor background.  Then I added CTMH thick twine in Fern, making little loop-de-loops and adhering them down with Glossy Accents.  I wanted it to appear like a wonky sting of lights. I printed out the bulb images then cut them out and adhered them to the frame/string.  I glued all that down to a card base that I embossed with a swirly pattern.

I sure hope you enjoyed todays project.  Please visit http://www.sunsationalstamps.com to find this and so many other adorable holiday stamp sets and digital images.  We would love it if you would like us on Facebook and click on the ‘Follow Me’ button so you don’t miss a thing!

Oodles of Hellos to you!  I have been busy making cards…yes again, or should I say STILL.  🙂  I am looking forward to finishing up with all my recent card orders so I can concentrate on scrapbooking.  I haven’t been able to make page layouts in quite a while and I am missing it.

But I digress…  Today I have a couple of Thank You cards that I made using the CTMH Choose Happy Stamp of the Month set for March, and one of the cards is being entered into a stencil challenge.  I circle punched an index card with three size  circles and then laid a Tim Holtz circle stencil over the holes and randomly stenciled the tiny holes into the large punched holes to get this effect:

This was a lot of fun to do.  I then laid the punched out circles over the stenciled areas so I could add TH Distress Ink in Peeled Paint in the background.  The distress colors I used for the stenciled areas were; Evergreen Bough, Scattered Straw and Tumbled Glass.  The Thanks Oodles frame was colored with the ShinHan alcohol markers in the following colors; Peacock, Turquoise and Leaf Green.  These colors are so pretty together, and I just LOVE the frames in this stamp set, it is so whimsical.  The stamp set is only available through the end of March.
