Le Meow...

Hello all! It’s already Valentines week! :) I'm back again with another Valentine's Day card. I made this cute love scene card using Newton Dreams of Paris stamp set. This is such a fun set with lots of adorable and sweet images.

For this card, I stamped and colored the eiffel tower, hot air balloons, the cute Newton and his girlfriend using distress inks. To add little shine, I heat embossed the tower using clear embossing powder. Then, I cut the images using their coordinating dies from Newton Dreams of Paris Die Set. Next, I used the stitched rectangle die from Frames & Flag Die Set to create a focal panel and picked a white card stock as the base card. To create the sky background, I cut a piece of white card stock using Sky Borders Die Set and inked the background with Salty Ocean and Mustard Seed distress inks. I did the same for the base card but used only Salty Ocean distress ink.

Then, I framed the scene by adhering the images. It was the fun part of making this card. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the sky panel and added tiny heart above Newton. Finally, I mounted the entire focal panel onto a the base card using foam tape. I had so much fun coloring the images on this set and love how sweet this card turned out

Thanks again for stopping by! Happy Valentine's Day!! Love you all to the max! Have a great week with your loved ones. See you all on next Monday with another card. Hugs! :)

You Have My Heart

Hi There! Today, I'm sharing a little action card featuring a lovely bear from MFT BB Bitty Bears stamp set. I made this card inspired by this week’s MFT Color Challenge #87. It's one of my favorite color combo. Here is my take!

First, I stamped and colored the bear with distress ink and cut it out using the coordinating die. To create the frame, I used the MFT Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frame die and inked it with Picked Raspberry distress ink. For the background, I gently inked the Staggered Heart stencil with Spun Sugar distress ink. Next, I create an ombre on a white card using Hickory Smoke and Black Soot distress ink. Then, I placed the letter dies from MFT Little Letter die set and cut out the letters. I die cut the letters again on a black card stock and adhered the ombre letters onto these black letters to give a little shadow and dimension.

Next, I stamped on the sentiment from the same stamp set and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I finished off the card by adding a little action wobbler on the back of the bear and placed it along with the letters to form the word 'LOVE'. That's all for this card! Hope you like it.

Newton's Sweetheart

Hello there! I’m super excited to be the Newton’s Nook Guest Designer for the month of February. Huge thanks to the Newton’s Nook family for inviting me. As we are in the month of love, here I’m sharing a lovely Valentine’s Day card featuring Newton and his sweetheart from the newly released Newton’s Sweetheart stamp set. I love the images and cute sentiments on this stamp set. They are super adorable and perfect for the theme of love.

For this card, I made the background using the bokeh technique (photography term) with distress inks. I used three colors, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Shaded Lilac. First, I blended the distress inks using the blending tool and colored the card completely. Then, I used the Tumbling Hearts Stencil and white pigment ink to create the bokeh effects.

I gently dabbed the white ink on to the different sizes of hearts using sponge dauber. I made some lighter and blurry. I overlapped some of them and make it little darker. I did it randomly all over the card and let it dry. This is such a fun technique and I love how it turned out. Then, I cut it out with a scalloped edge die from the Frames & Flags Die Set.

Once I’m done with the background card, I stamped the image of kitties on a TimHoltz distress watercolor card stock and colored them using distress inks. I cut them out using the coordinating Newton’s Sweetheart Die Set. I adhered the image onto the background card and stamped on the sentiment from the Newton’s Sweetheart Stamp Set. Next, I adhered the final background card to the base card and finished off by adding some teal dimensional dots. That's all for today :) I hope you like this card!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week ahead and I’ll catch you on next Monday with another card.
