CASology week 182: adore

This week's challenge over on the CASology blog is all about the word ADORE.  I decided to use this as my reminder to get some Valentine's cards made.

I grabbed some anaglypta wallpaper samples and used my PTI hearts coverplate.  I also cut out some red shimmer card stock and scrap black hearts as well.  (The black is actually packaging from some perfume - it had a nice texture and heft to it!) 

I added the hearts and stamped the sentiment multiple times with my trusty MISTI which worked perfectly with the ever popular Versafine Onyx Black.  If I had done this on my own, it would've never worked, especially stamping on textured wallpaper!!

 I made a few more Valentine cards - this one using the Gold Luxe pack from PTI.

The 'U' is stamped with Fresh Ink fuschia and some Versafine Onyx Black.  Lots of double and triple stamping with the MISTI, again!

And my last one was with some Avery Elle orchid ink and Bloomer bursts from PTI with the sentiment from the same company.  The sentiment is stamped in Fresh Ink fuschia and Versafine.

I raised this panel up with some foam tape to add a little texture to an otherwise incredibly simple card! :)

Thank you to CASology for getting me to get these Valentines done!! :)

Papertrey Anniversary blog hop - Happy Valentine's Day

Well, Valentine's cards must be made so with a mask from post its, I stamped one of the gorgeous flowers from Papertrey's Rosie Posie set. Very simple to do and effective with white ink (Colorbox Frost white).

I used the Happy Day sentiment in Jenni Bowlin chocolate brown overtop.  I adhered it down to a chocolate card base and added a strip of the heart border.  I then ran the whole front through with the Linen impression plate.

This card as well as the others I posted today are all entered into the anniversary blog hop for Papertrey.  What a fabulous celebration! ;)

This card is inspired by the talented Erin Lincoln.  She manages to make all sorts of fabulous creations and has done some beautiful masking.  Thanks for all the cool techniques and fun ideas I have learned, Erin! :) 

Supplies:
Paper: Gina K chocolate, Staples 110lb cream, PTI raspberry fixzz
Stamps: PTI Rosie Posie, Happy Day
Ink: Jenni Bowlin brown, Colorbox Frost White
Misc: PTI Linen impression plate, heart border die

Papertrey Anniversary blog hop - LoVe

Well, Valentine's is around the corner so I thought I better get a move on with my Valentine's cards.  The Papertrey anniversary blog hop is the perfect chance to do this!

 

I used the 'love' sentiment from PTI's Mega Mixed Messages in Jenni Bowlin fountain pen ink stamped over and over again on the white card base.  Then I worked on the Raspberry Fizz layer.  I took a large post it and cut a heart.  I used both parts of the mask to stamp - one to do the white hexagons (Colorbox Frost white) and the other to repeatedly stamp the live.laugh.love sentiment from Mat Stack 5 in Jenni Bowlin chili powder red.  Then I stamped the 'love' sentiment in fountain black ink again.  I mounted the raspberry layer on foam dots onto the white cardstock after running it through the Linen impression plate.  All done!  Happy Anniversary, Papertrey! :)

This card is inspired by the amazing Dawn McVey who always manages to use gorgeous colour combinations and often her favourite shade of Raspberry Fizz!  This was the first time I had ever used it and got it out of my sampler pack of PTI cardstock.  I am continually amazed by what she is able to accomplish when she starts creating - always such fun cool cards!

Supplies:
Paper: Staples 110lb white, PTI Raspberry Fizz
