Three Kinds of Love

Happy Saturday,

I have a super quick card to share with you.  We made these are part of the Card Lover's class.  I love the new word dies that are being released.   You can make such quick and beautiful cards with them.  I used decorative paper and "Love" word die to create these three cards.
Which one do you like the most?





No copics today

Raindrops in More Colors

Hello all,

Last year I made a similar card in blue.  I had a request to redo this card in more traditional colors. I tried in both pink and purple. I'm not sure if purple is traditional, but I liked it.   I love that these are fast to make.  Perfect when you need a quick card.

I'll Hang with You

Hello all,

I hope this note finds you nice and warm.   We have been bombarded with snow the last few days here in New York.   Connor had to shovel the driveway twice in one hour to get to work yesterday.  He shoveled it once then took a shower and ate breakfast.  When he went outside to leave, he found a new layer of snow in his way.

Thankfully we have a little sunshine today.    I like to take photos of cards outside.  The natural light is way better to showcase the colors.  I bundled up and went out in 8 degree sunshine and took some photos so I could catch up on the blog.   YIKES it was cold!

I've used this set a lot.  I love these monkeys.  This time I stamped two of them, cut them out and used dimensional glue to place them in the heart.   In the background I put some cloud paper.   If you wanted to make this card more romantic, you could put red card stock.   I didn't want to make it too mushy because I was making valentine's for friends.   I also used some liquid glue to tack their hands to the twine.  I was worried that it wouldn't stick, but it worked really well.
