Sending lots of love!

I'm back today to share one last card for the month. I originally made this card to share prior to Valentine's Day...but it never actually got posted!

No worries though, I can always share it now!

I wanted to make a Valentine's card that used non-traditional colors rather than the whole white, pink, and red that we are accustomed to. I created the base of the card with the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle die. After die-cutting it, I just adhered it to a standard A2 sized card base.

The other die-cuts and stamp are all Simon Says Stamp exclusives. 

Supplies:
Bazzill Marshmallow white cardstock
Echo Park Here and Now 6x6 paper stack
Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Die
Simon Says Stamp Surely Stitched Heart Die
Simon Says Stamp Sending Happy Thoughts
Pretty Pink Posh Silver Heart Confetti

Have a wonderful day!

For My Favorite Gamer!

Good morning! Once again, it seems like it's been forever since I posted last! But I'm here today sharing a super special birthday card. 

My oldest kiddo turns 15 today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAMIEN!

Damien is a die-hard gamer and upcoming YouTuber. :) So when I saw the Level up stamp set and Game Controller die over at My Favorite Things, I had to have it just for this card! I created the base with some of the rectangles from the Simon Says Stamps new In Stitches die collection.

I die-cut several of the controllers out in order to give the die a little bit of dimension. I added some black hemp twine for the cord (even though he has wireless controllers, oops!) and then some glossy accents onto the colored buttons. It's a simple, clean cut layout for a birthday card, but I think it turned out great! 

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink white cardstock
Echo park All About a Boy 6x6 paper stack
Bazzill cardstock
My Favorite Things Level Up stamp set
My Favorite Things Die-namics Game Controller die
Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle Dies
hemp twine
glossy accents

Thanks for stopping by!
