Pink Hearts and Pretty Ribbon

Now how's this for texture?! Deanne has created this gorgeous Valentine's Day card filled with pretty pink hearts, satin ribbon and beautiful striped paper. She managed to get lots of texture in her creation by tearing the paper rather than cutting, as well as adding microbeads to some parts of the image. Fabulous!

With Love, Judy

Judy is preparing nice and early for Valentine's Day next month with these two cute cards created with the Must Be Love set of digital stamps. She's added some fabulous red, pink and white paper and an assortment of little embellishments to complete each card.

Row Of Hearts

I have a little card-making tutorial to share with you today, using the row of hearts from the Must Be Love digital stamp set. The card base is a slimline design, made from black card stock and measuring about 3" x 81/4".

Open the coloured image in MSWord or a photo editing program and resize it to 8" long (most programs will adjust the height automatically so the image doesn't get stretched). Add a sentiment in the top right hand corner, then print. 

Use a craft knife to cut around each heart. I kept the blade to the inside of the heavy black line and simply ignored all the stitches. Take care in the area between hearts as the card stock becomes quite narrow.

Secure the card stock strip to the card base with liquid glue or tape. I've left a thin border around the edges of my image panel by trimming it to fit.

Now add foam tape to each of the spaces and secure the hearts in place. I finished my card by applying a liberal coat of Nuvo aqua shimmer on each heart and around the edge of the card base.

Celebrate Everything!

A couple of months back I stamped four of the same image from the Celebrations set and coloured them with different themes in mind. Today I'd like to share the cards I created with the four different designs. I've got a card for a birthday, a new baby, one for Valentine's Day and one for Christmas. This is one of my favourite sets because of how versatile it is... you can use it for any occasion where gifts are given.

All Occasion Stamps

One of my favourite stamp sets is the Celebrations clear stamps. They are so versatile and can be used for any occasion where gifts are exchanged. I particularly like the large, gift stack image, which I've coloured in different ways to show you how they can be used for all sorts of occasions. Can you guess what events are coming up on my calendar in the next few months based on the colours?

New Release: Cuddlebugs Set

I had a great time drawing and colouring these cute little bugs, they were so much fun!  I had initially designed the set for Valentine's Day, but thought they would also be great for birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations.

New Release: Wild About You

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and it's time to get those last minutes cards finished and passed out to all those special people in your life.  I designed this set with extended family and friends in mind, rather than spouses or partners.  I think the little animals would be perfect on cards for grandchildren, siblings or classmates.
