Loved

I had so much fun playing with the Imaginisce Love You More collection.  I really loved the colors, especially the grey, and the fun patterns.

 
I wanted to have hearts exploding from the journaling card so I hand cut some of the hearts from the patterned paper then punched hearts from coordinating papers.

 
 
  I used foam tape on the back of some of the hearts to add dimension.


 
I really love how this layout turned out.  Don't you just love that!

One of a Kind

I found this fun Bella Blvd playing card paper in my stash and thought it would be perfect for making some cute valentine's bags and gift card holders.
 
For this first one I used a small Kraft paper bag and added the card and twine to it.  Perfect for a small chocolate treat inside.
 
 
For the next two projects I used the Maya Road scallop envelopes and added the card and twine to the front.  It is the perfect size for a gift card.
 
 
 
 
Isn't everyone one of a kind?  Thanks for stopping by.

More Valentine's Fun

I wanted to share a few more of the Valentine's projects I have made.  I used the Echo Park Valentine's paper from last year for these projects.
 
 
The first one is a fun tube which will be filled with candy.  I made it look like an arrow by adding a shaped heart for tip and another shaped heart for the other end.
 
 
The second project is a special Valentine for Nana (my Mom).
 
 
I still love the ruffle paper that Dear Lizzy out out so fun!
 
 
The third project is a tag for a present for my son's teacher.  We were both very upset when we were told she would have to leave in a few weeks.  She has been amazing with Linden and he loves her.

 
  I added some sparkle to the clothes peg with glitter.  For the base of the card I cut the patterned paper into a tag shape then punched a bunch of hearts and popped them up with foam tape.


I had so much fun making these projects.  Thanks for stopping by.

Love You More

This week Imaginisce is having a Valentine's Party over on their blog.  Their new Valentine's collection Love You More is so pretty.  I especially love the grey doily pattern and the washi tape they added.
 
 
For my first project I covered some Ikea candle holders with the washi tape then added one of the fun stickers to the front with foam tape.



 

So cute and super easy to make.
 
For my second project I used my Silhouette Cameo and made a fun Valentine's box for my son, I will deliver some fun treats in it on Valentine's Day.
 

I die cut the box from patterned paper then added the fun birds journaling card to the front of the box.
 
 
For the little Valentines cards I used the cute envelope stickers and added them to patterned paper,  then I punched out some hearts and hand cut a small arrow.

 
I thought it would be cute to add the Love Birds title with this journaling card.

 
I also used my Silhouette to cut out the feathers that I added to the title.


Here's a shot of the top of the box that shows the slot and my little valentine's peaking out.

 
I had so much fun creating these projects.  Head on over to the Imaginisce Blog to check out all the other amazing Valentine's projects.

Let It Snow

We are hoping it snows here this week we want to do some skiing :)

 
I made this card using an embossing folder to create the background of the card and using the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Pennant 25 to create the snowflakes.  The beautiful paper is from the Crate Paper Sleigh Ride Collection.

 
I added the pennant border using washi tape.

Imaginisce Monthly Challenge

The Imaginisce monthly challenge is up over at their blog today.  This months challenge is another beautiful sketch by Diana and the criteria are: use 3 different patterned papers, No red and the theme is love.

Here is the sketch by Diana:

 
And here is my take on the sketch with a card.
 
 
In place of the two photos I added the two hearts and kept the sentiment to the right side.  I used three different patterned papers and added the twine and pins to finish it off. 

 
Head on over to the Imaginisce Blog and play along with this months challenge.
 
Thanks for stopping by.
