A Smiley S’more Valentine Card with Mayra

Join us next week for Design Team inspiration with “Lots of Heart”! We will have sweet samples, and daily giveaways! See you then!

Happy Friday! Mayra joins us today to share a totally adorable Smiley S’more Valentine!

The adorable Smiley S’more is a sweet focal point of Mayra’s fun design! She created it with pretty pink that looks so good with the Paper Bag cardstock details. Mayra cut an Outside In Stitched Heart, then she used Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop to add a fun dotted texture. She layered this on a Lacy Heart, then she also layered a Heart Garland over the top.

For the background, Mayra cut a Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop from white cardstock. Then for another layer of interest, she used Simple Stripes Backdrop: Landscape. She cut it again with a Large Stitched Square Stackable to create a square card.

Mayra combined Henry’s ABCs with sentiments from S’more the Merrier and Scent with Love to add the sweet Valentine message! She heat-embossed the sentiments using white embossing powder on Paper Bag cardstock. And also, black embossing powder on vellum.

This is such a fun and creative Valentine! Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Mayra!

Happy 2023! I hope you all had a great New Year celebration! Joyce joins us today with fabulous Valentine inspiration featuring Giant Outlined Love Ya!

Joyce began her traditional style Valentine by stenciling the Falling Hearts on a Ballet Slippers panel. She used Distress Oxide ink in Kitsch Flamingo and Candied Apple. Next, she stamped and colored the cute Scent with Love images.

Then she die-cut Giant Outlined Love Ya from Ballet Slippers, Guava, Vanilla Malt, Gold Metallic and Black Licorice cardstock. She assembled the die cut using all the colors on a Chili Pepper Lacy Heart. I just love the traditional Valentine look of this cute card!

Thanks so much for this lovely inspiration, Joyce!

Karin’s Watercolor Ugly and Bright Card and a Clever Swatch Book!

September Inspiration Week is just around the corner, and we are so excited! We will be highlighting all the fun holiday sets from the Fall & Winter 2022 Release! Be sure to join us for Design Team Inspiration, intro videos and daily giveaways! See you on the 14th for the Big Giveaway!

Today Karin joins us to share a lovely watercolor card featuring Ugly and Bright. She also created a handy watercolor swatch book project.

Karin’s simply beautiful Christmas card features a sweater from Ugly and Bright. First, she stamped it with Distress Ink in Antique Linen before adding pretty water coloring! And then she layered it on a Lacy Heart Stackable which she also water colored.

She spelled out Noel with Henry’s ABCs, stamping the letters with the sweater to coordinate with the focal image. To finish this lovely design, Karin then attached the sweater and letters to a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle.

Karin is an accomplished watercolor artist, check out her artwork on Instagram HERE. She created a handy portable swatch book to take along on her Plein Air painting adventures. Using a Mini Notebook and Art Supplies Lawn Cuts she gave her travel palette sweet details!

Then inside the book she used the paint tube die to swatch the different colors of watercolor paint she uses. Here she has room for making notes.

This lovely design would be perfect for creating a card for a friend who loves to watercolor! Simply use Gotta Have Gingham Rainbow paper for the background. Then add the pretty arrangement of Art Supplies on a Lacy Heart Stackable!

Thank you so much for your beautiful inspiration today, Karin! I love your wonderful watercolor projects!
