Lots of Love card

Hello Everyone from Olena.

 Today, I am sharing a Valentines Love card

I created with Beautiful Valentines CottageCutz Collections. 

For this card I used NEW "Filigree Love Birds (4x4)" die.
 
 I cut Filigree Love Birds out using cream card stock and then, glued on pink and blue background.
Then, I stamped sentiment, cut out with scissors and glued on Love birds background using foam tape for dimensions. For base card I used cream heavy card stock.
 

Decorated card with rhinestones.
For this project I used:

Have A Wonderful Day!

Simply Elegant

Good morning!  It's Lorie here today to share with you a very simple, but elegant card.  No one loves to spend more time fussing, or adding detail to their creations than I do, but sometimes... every once in a while, I want to created something quick and easy, but I still want it to look like I fussed over it.  Our friends at The Scrapping Cottage have made that so easy for us with their line of Cottage Cutz Made Easy.  The dies in this line are exquisitely detailed, and pretty much finished in just one pass through the die cutting machine.  With some carefully chosen paper, you can have a gorgeous project finished in mere minutes, which is what I've done for you with this card.
 I chose this beautiful red glitter paper from Stampin' Up! to use with this Filigree Love Birds die.  The details on this die are wonderful, and with the sparkly paper, there just is no need for anything else.  Sometimes, less is very beautifully MORE.  The sentiment for this card comes from the January 2011 released Frame 1 Lettering Stamps from The Scrapping Cottage.  I thought, and probably overthought what to do for the bottom of this card, and I resisted the urge to use ribbon or make a bow.  I finally decided to add just a little more bling with some clear rhinestone strips, which I colored to match the red, using my Copic markers.  The embossing folder I used for the background is a Cuttlebug folder called Birds and Swirls.
Here's a closer look at the gorgeous detail on the die cut.  You've just gotta love how wonderfully easy this card is, and yet SO pretty, too.  I love it when that happens!  I'm so happy you could stop by today, and I hope you've found some inspiration.  Have a blessed and beautiful day!

Fun Glitter Technique


Hi die cut fans...it's Lori here with you today highlighting one of our new Valentines Days Die...Filigree Love Birds.  I really wish I could have captured a bit of a better picture, but the glitter was difficult to photograph.  However, I did really love the technique I used for this project.


I mounted a  4 x 4 sheet of Sookwang double sticky cardstock to a piece of vellum and then cut out the die.  Being double mounted it won't cut all the way through the vellum, but it will go through all of the Sookwang.  I then used my fine tip tweezers and removed sections of the tape cover.  Once I had a section pulled off I sprinkled with colored glitter.  Once the green area was glittered in, I moved onto the pink area taking off the tape cover and then glittering. I mounted it to a mini book ready to fill with love notes and pictures for that someone special.  I hope you give this technique a try 

See ya soon,

Hugs,
