All You Need is Love

Happy New Year!!! Hope your holidays were fun and hope Santa was good to you.

Now that the holidays are over it's time to check out something for Valentine's Day. It will be here very soon.


Aren't these little guys cute. They are in the Tiny Tots collections. This particular stamp is called Valentot Love T4004.Cute, cute cute. I used Love Background - T2357 on those hearts and added a doily cut from pink card stock.A little glitter in the letters and adding a bow and the card is ready for giving.

Have a great day and stop back tomorrow for the 1st weekly challenge for this new year.

Boatyard

Good morning everyone...this morning I have used  "Boatyard P1493" to make my card.  I have used copics to color the image and chalk to make the sky. I have used a boarder punch by EK which kind of looks like waves.  The image makes a great masculine birthday card.  Don't forget to check out Art Impressions site for some great background stamps.

Happy New Year from Art Impressions!

Happy New Year!!

I thought I'd share a New Years card with you today.
I don't really have any "traditional" New Years stamps from
Art Impressions yet so I dug through my collection and thought
that Pierre would be perfect.  He's part of the Bon Appetit line


I've used tools from several different companies.
My corners were made with a Sizzix Sizzlit.
The embossing folder is from Cuttlebug
and the clock is something new I just got
from Lifestyle Crafts.


Pierre is colored with Copic markers and I 
used a little gold flat back "pearl" in the 
center of the clock hands.

Love

Hi Everyone
Well Christmas is over and Hanukkah is winding down so now I am focusing on Valentines Day cards.I love the reds and pinks of the cards and with that in mind I set out to see what I had in my stash that I could use to make this card.



The heart is a die cut and I stamped it with the text you find on the mini love background I2531. And what is Valentines Day without roses. I used 2 different images  Long Stemmed Rose M2005 and Rose Bud M2006. The word Love is the perfect word for the card front and it's stamp E2548. Add a little ribbon and come cool corners and here is your Valentine's Day card for your sweetie.

The New Year is right around the corner so I am wishing you a Happy New Year and please stay safe. I will see you next year.

Merry Christmas!!

I hope you're all enjoying Christmas with your families!  
We are planning a nice, quiet day at home.
(celebrated with the extended family last weekend)

Since it's Christmas Day I thought I'd share 
a Christmas card with you today.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and
the flourish is from My Favorite Things.
The verse is from Art Impressions
and is called May the hope.
It's from the Polar Pals line.
