love letter

I had the idea to create a love letter card. I sat at my desk with a pencil and scratch paper thinking on how to achieve something like that. My mind ran over all of my DeNami stamps deciding how best to achieve it.  My first thought was to use this cute little heart stamp image, but I wanted my card to look more shabby chic than fun and cute. I ended up using a stamp I had in my "contraband stash" by 7 Gypsies for my postage.

For the "send to" area I somewhat randomly stamped a border 3 times then stamped pink hearts over that and added a little sentiment. I decided it needed to be distressed to I added a few swipes of ink and roughened up the edges. A little twine and matching button finished it all off.

Thanks for Stopping by!!

 

Hanging Hearts

Blogger note: Ooops! I scheduled the proper date, but not the proper time...sorry the post is late!!!


It's not often that I fall in love with one of my own cards, but I really love the Christmas card I made with little hanging ornaments. I thought I'd try it again only with some pretty little hearts.

I'm so happy with the way this turned out. I just love the pink and celery color palette and who doesn't love LOTS of glitter!?!?

Thanks for stopping by!

Hats off to wearin o'the green

I decided to do a little organizing the other day and came across the template of a leprechaun hat I had made for last St. Patrick's Day. I forgot I even had this...jeeze. This new rendition is sooooo much cuter because I now have a cute chickie to add to it! This time around I used a strip of stamped charcoal paper for the band instead of ribbon. And for the large shamrock I used the small heart outline that I fussy cut, distressed and added a little stem.

Falling Hearts

When I saw this heart in the product spot light I just couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I knew exactly what I wanted to do....

Surprised? If you know me at all you are lol!! No layers,,,very clean and simple...so NOT me, right? I just had this vision and wanted to run with it. It's a little hard to tell in the picture, but I stamped the first heart in a dark pink distress ink, the faded it out as they went down by using a lighter pink ink on parts of the stamp together with the darker pink.
