Finally got the 3rd Triple Play done!

Finally finished this last card! It was more of a challenge than the first 2 cards. The circle behind the heart is a Fiskars Circle punch and that alone drove me crazy. The evidence is the little piece above the angel on the left panel. That one came out terrible, but I hate waste, so I cut off the good pieces to use elsewhere.

All Stamps used are from the "Heart Strings" set by FireCracker Designs by Pamela. Her link is on my sidebar if you want to go check her out.

I hope you like the card. I have a lot of other things to share, but just have to find the time to get them in a post. Most go for now, as I have lots of fur babies to get supper for. Have a great evening!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi and Happy Valentine's Day! This is the card that has driven me nuts trying to get a good picture of it. I finally took it outside and turned the flash off . The 4th and last picture came out at least so you can see it. All total I took the pictures at least 30 times! It was driving me nuts. I was so happy with the way it came out and soooo wanted to share it.



This card is also a Technique Junkies technique, called Mono Dies! I just love this technique! Now I just need to get more shape dies...LOL! The "I love you" stamp is from the "Heart Strings" set from Firecracker Designs by Pamela. Can you tell that I love this set!

Thanks for coming by and checking it out. I would love to hear what you think of the card.

Rubbah has arrived and a card share!

I am so excited! My stamps from FCD already arrived. Pamela sure is fast! It does help that we are in the same state. LOL! Just look at that deep red rubber and this stamp set is to die for! Can you tell that I just love it! I have already started cutting for mounting! I use the halo system (Hook & Loop!) and have already added my loop tape. Just have to cut them out and start playing.

Thanks again Pamela...YOU ROCK!!!

Oh and I also figured out how to get my pictures here where I want them, which will make this so much easier. See how they are smaller and side by side.
Now on to the card....A Valentine...of course! I wanted to keep this one...LOL! But it went off to a special lady today....can't say who or she will know before it arrives! Hubby thought the black, red & lavender colors were as he put it "kinda dark", but this time I ignored his valued opinion. Most of the time he is really my best critic and then there are times where he really doesn't understand what we, as stampers, can appreciate! What do you think of it?

I have one of those Photo boxes that you buy at the craft stores that I have loaded with Love, Hearts, Romance and anything Valentines (except stamps), so I pulled some stuff out of the box to put this one together. I do believe all of the die cuts are Sizzix that I used at a friends gathering to punch them out and the oval scallop is a Marvy Giga punch. The corner punch (which I just love) is from All Night Media! It is an oldie, but a goodie! The lavender glittery paper is from Robin's Nest. Can you see the bling on the top heart? This was actually my way of covering up that I didn't get the stamp centered on the heart...LOL! Shhh....don't tell anyone my secret! You won't even know if your not reading all of this post...teehee!
Well, I think I covered everything and I have broken my record by posting a whole 3 days in a row! Actually, I think I have posted more this month than any other month since I started blogging! I still have more coming too! Especially once I start to play with Pamela's stamps!
Thank you for stopping by and may the good Lord bless you with your hearts desires. Hugs Lori

One Sheet Wonder Valentine!

Hi,


How are you today? As you can see....I am on a roll with the posting! LOL! While not making it a New Years Resolution (to much pressure), I have challenged myself to try to post something everyday! Now, I don't know if I will be able to keep it up, but I am at least going to try to post more often!


I have another card share for you today! This one is a Valentine for a special friend and it will go out (hopefully) tomorrow with a special gifty I made for her, that I may share tomorrow! I want to save something to post for tomorrow! It is really special and I hope she likes it!


On to the card. The top layer is a piece from a One sheet wonder sheet that I made a long time ago! I cut the pieces and put them in a baggie so that when I need them, all I had to do was grab what I wanted. I have a few different ones that I have made and hope to create some more soon. I embossed the CuttleBug Love postage stamp on an oval cut from a Marvy Giga Scalloped punch that a friend let me borrow. Then took my gelly roll glitter pen and added lots of glitter over both the layer and the embossed piece. The glitter doesn't look so great in the picture, but looks really beautiful in person.


The stamps used are from 2 different dollar sets, one (the scroll) is from the cupcake set in yesterdays post. I stamped them with PSX Blackberry Ink. Added the little Acrylic heart (XOXO) and bling all over the card. I think if you look close you can see it! The actual card is Bazzill card stock! I love Bazzill c/s! It is so elegant. Here is another view flat on a Blue background.

I decorated the inside too, with another piece of the OSO and the flourishes! See........
I hope you liked my card and that it gives you some inspiration to play! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
