Valentine Secret Cupid - {Trendy Twine}

The Trendy Twine design team did something a little different this year for Valentine's Day -- Secret Cupid.  Names were assigned to us and no one knew who had who.  We designed a card or tag and sent along a little treat to our assigned DT sister to make her Valentine's Day a bit more happy.  Today we are sharing our projects with you.

I had so much fun doing this for one of my Design Team Sisters. I hope you like my Valentine Gift Set~

I started with a red cardstock base and added an embossed layer of kraft cardstock. Next I added a few tickets to the bottom and then a length of Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine was wrapped around three times and tied in a bow.  In the center of the card, I layered a double heart that was cut using my cameo. I then layered this onto a red heart doily. A few sequins were added for a touch of glam. A red and white seam binding bow was tied and added in the lower right of the heart embellished with Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine  bow, button, as well as a tag stamped With Love from DeNami Designs.  

Next moving on to the tumbler.

Using my cameo, I used the same heart file from my card on the tumbler. I personalized this for Sukie by adding her name below the heart. I filled it with some yummy Hershey Kisses and a gift card.  Lastly, I tied a pink ribbon bow around the straw and topped it with another bow made of more awesome Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine.

So there is my Secret Cupid gift revealed. I hope you have enjoyed and like it as well.  Make sure you head over to the Trendy Twine blog to see the other Secret Cupid projects by these talented ladies! I know I am thrilled with my Secret Cupid Gift I received. Thank You Kimberly for making my day! I loved my gift! I have to say I am truly blessed to be on such an amazing and caring team.

I Whale-y Like You!

Hello Everyone!

I am over on the Trendy Twine Blog today with a Valentine card featuring some awesome Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine. 

Valentine's Day is just a few days away... can you believe it?

I started this card by adhering cut pieces of patterned paper from my left-over scrap pile to my red card base. I then took a length of red grosgrain ribbon and wrapped it around the center of the card front and tied in a bow; I embellished my ribbon treatment further with a blue bow, Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine and a red heart button.

I then prepped and created my focal piece using products from Wplus9: Bitty Buddy Valentines.  I punched out a heart for the sentiment trimming it further with Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine and red ruby rhinestones for further embellishing. 

There you have it! :-)

I couldn't just pick three though...It's just too much fun!

I used more Brown Kraft Cardstock to cut an xoxo border where the pieces meet. I added a doily to the center.  Next I created a tag from a die-cut I made adding White Twill tape, Red Baker's Twine made into a bow which was also laced in a Red Heart Button.  At the bottom, I added a row of buttons threaded with Natural Hemp Twine to finish it off.

Vintage Valentine {The Kraft Journal}

Hey There Friends~

Good Morning! It's a new week and that means a new challenge at The Kraft Journal this week. Our theme is Valentines. I decided to go Vintage featuring products found at The Kraft Outlet. 

I started with a base of Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock which I adhered to the heart patterned paper.  I used both Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock and Buff Ivory cardstock to frame the darling focal image which comes from the Seasonal Salvage Sticker Pack. Just below, I stamped the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from WPlus9 in red ink. 

Next, I took a length of Oatmeal Cream Hand Stained Bias Tape and wrapped it around the left side of the card front and created a fluffy bow which I embellished with a button laced with Red Baker's Twine and stamped images from DeNami Design onto a Scalloped Grungy Prim Tag.  Lastly I added a red heart stick pin for a special Valentine touch.

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Valentine creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

Happy Valentine's Day - PSIC#28

Hi There!

I am back after taking a few months off with the new inspiration challenge at Paper Sweeties! It's a pretty one!  I kept my card simply only because I knew this would be going in the mail. :-)

Link to products listed at bottom

I started with a pink card base which I adhered a piece of damask patterned paper after the edges have been distressed. Using a framed Sweet Cut die, which was cut from white card stock and inked around the edges with Antique Linen for a vintage feel, I added it to the left center of the card front. I hand-cut a sentiment banner from the same pink cardstock the base was created from and stamped Valentine's Day in red ink which was adhered and anchored with a red button laced with hemp twine.  Using a Paper Sweeties sentiment set, I masked off part of the sentiment to allow only Happy to show on the white frame just above the banner. Two hearts were die-cut from various patterned papers from my stash and adhered to the upper left portion of the frame.  A length of twine was wrapped around the top portion of the card and tied in a double bow.  Lastly, inspired by the candies in the photo, a few enamel dots were placed in the lower right corner for a final finishing touch.

I think You're Cool {Valentine}

Hey! How are you this morning?!?!?

I have a sweet little Valentine to share with you! You are also going to find me over on the Trendy Twine blog today as I used some yummy Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine. I can't get enough of it! 

I started this card by piecing together Valentine patterned paper which I framed to a piece of red cardstock; then layered to Blackboard Stock Paper.  Where the two patterned papers meet, I wrapped a length of of black, gingham ribbon around the card front which I tied in a bow;  I embellished my ribbon treatment further with a cream velvet bow, Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine and a red heart button.

I die-cut two layering hearts which I stamped a sentiment from WPlus9 Bitty Buddy Valentine at an angle in cranberry ink. The cute little penguin also from the same set; was stamped on it's coordinating die-cut in black ink and popped up with foam mounting tape on the layering heart combo. A few sequins and a stamped heart was added, but the finishing touch for this focal image was trimming it in Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine before adding it to the card front. Lastly, I had a snippet of crochet trim from my stash which I intertwined with Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine before adding it to the top edge of the card.

With Love

Hi Friends, 

Last week I shared a card on the DeNami Design Blog, and today I can share the full card with you here.

I began with a red card base followed by adding some pieced patterned papers from my stash.  I took a length of red and white ribbon and created a loop at the top and laid down the center of the card. I snipped the bottom at the center for a decorative touch. 

I matted a red die-cut circle onto a doily and placed in the center of the card front.  On black cardstock, I stamped the Heart Flower Trio and applied the Chalkboard Technique. A Spellbinders Label die was used to cut the image out. At the upper right of the card front, a sentiment banner was created using the same techinique. The sentiment is from the Love Sentiment Stamp set.

I am so glad you stopped by today!

DeNami Product Spotlight - Solid Rose Accents Set

Hi There!

The DeNami design Team is featuring the Solid Rose Accents stamp set today, and I just adore it. It's a set that can be used for several occasions from Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Spring and Summer...the possibilities are just endless. You can add this fabulous stamp set to your shopping cart and receive a 10% savings for one week only. 

This is pretty clean and simple (for me)! I didn't use one ounce of patterned paper {gasp} on this card today! I started by rounding the corners of white cardstock and randomly stamping the Solid Rose Accents images in the upper right corner. 

Using a handy dandy heart punch, I stamped the rose and leaf images onto the heart adding a sentiment from the Love Sentiments stamp set. I added a Lucky Green Boutique Button with a tag containing a sentiment also from the Love Sentiments stamp set. I then punched a heart from textured burgundy cardstock and tucked it under the stamped heart.  All that is left is to add foam mounting squares to the pack of my stamped panel and add to the card base.

Go check out what the other ladies created with this stamp set.!

Love Cupid Chickie

Hi!

Two weeks ago I shared a sweet little Valentine Card on the DeNami blog. Now I can share here in it's entirety incase you missed it.  This one features Cupid Chickie. Who says chickies have to be yellow? I made my fuzzy little guy pink for Valentine's Day!

I started with a red card base onto which I added pink cardstock which has been stamped with the Teeny Heart Background in red ink. Next I added a section of sheet music from my stash to the center. I then wrapped a length of ribbon around the card front and tied in a bow to the left side of the card.

To build my focal piece of the card, I die-cut a spellbinders label from red cardstock and embossed it using the Chevron Embossing Folder. A paper rosette was added to the center adding a punched label in the coordinating red cardstock.  I stamped the Love Circle in red ink adding Cupid Chickie to the center. I punched the circle out using a 1 3/8 punch.

A die-cut heart border in white was added to the upper portion of the card and punched pink heart and dew drop were added to the right of the focal images for a final finishing touch.

I am going to share at Just B Creative - January Linky Party, Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes, 3 Girl Jam - Anything Goes With Ribbon, Really Reasonable Ribbon - Valentine/Love.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this cute little Valentine! I hope you have a terrific Thursday! Valentine's Day will be here before you know it.

The Kraft Journal #156 Sketch Challenge - LOVE

Hey y'all!

For this week's "Sketch Challenge at The Kraft Journal, I decided to case myself using a previous card I have made you can find here, but following sketch from The Kraft Journal. They are very similar, and I just changed a few things up a bit. 

I started with a card base of Blackboard Stock Paper followed by adding layers of pattern papers (My Mind's Eye) with distressed edges. Following the sketch, I added a banner horizontally on the card front. 

I then added a decorative envelope adding patterned paper to the bottom. I tucked a snippet of a doily at the top of the envelope adding a strip of Black and White Washi Tape across.  I used Tiny Wooden Clothespins to clip the darling hearts (Paper Smooches) to the envelope. After adding the Love sentiment from Paper Smooches Bee Mine, I wrapped around the card front a length of Metallic Hemp Cord for a finishing touch.

Here is the sketch for you to follow this week:

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your sketch card creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.
