Spellbinders – Latte Love

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Valentine’s Day card featuring the Heart Latte die set from Spellbinders.

I paired the assembled latte cup (I colored the latte and the spoon with Distress Oxide inks) with a heat-embossed sentiment from the Cup of Tea stamp set, sold separately as well as part of the November Bloom Box. (I shared tea-themed cards created with the Bloom box here.)

To reinforce the Valentine’s Day theme, I placed the sentiment on a heart cut from patterned paper using a die in the Classic Heart Nestabilities set and used heart patterned paper for the base.

You Are My Happy

Happy Monday! I am starting the week off with a CAS Valentine primarily featuring My Favorite Things products.

I paired one of the birds from the Birds of a Feather set with hearts cut with the Horizontal Hearts in a Row die set and a sentiment from Essential Sentiments.

I used pattern paper from my stash for the hearts choosing to use two patterns for visual interest.

CAS Winter Comfort Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS winter-themed card featuring dies from Spellbinders and Fun Stampers Journey. I wanted to convey a sense of comfort with the teapot and hearts set against a window, which I cut with the Fun Stampers Journey Window View die set.

The teapot was cut with one of the dies in the Spellbinders Tea Pots by Sharyn Sowell die set; the hearts are included in the Spellbinders Gingerbread Boy Garland Tag set. I used Echo Park patterned paper from my stash along with a sentiment from My Favorite Things Cup of Tea.

Simon Says Stamp – You Bring Sunshine

Hello! We have had wild windstorms here in the Pacific Northwest, including one that knocked out power for the day. With gray skies overhead, I created a CAS colorful friendship card.

I combined the Folk Dance die with a sentiment in the Choose Joy set. I created a panel that I adhered to the back of the die-cut card front from a rainbow of Distress Ink Oxide colors.

Hope your day is filled with sunshine (literally and/or metaphorically)!

Fun Stampers Journey – You Are Loved

Hello! I am sharing a CAS winter-themed Valentine (or friendship card) featuring the Fun Stampers Journey It’s Cold Outside and Sending My Love stamp sets. Both stamp sets have coordinating dies.

I used rectangle dies to create the card frame. I stamped the cute critters from It’s Cold Outside and colored them with Copic markers and colored pencils and cut them with their coordinating dies. I stamped the sentiment from Sending My Love on Pool Play cardstock, which I placed behind the frame. I stamped hearts from the same set with Candy Apple ink, which I cut with their coordinating die and added to the background with foam adhesive.
