Nuts and Bolts About You

We have another card for our Seattle Children's Hospital January Card Challenge.  If you're not familiar with our Challenge, you can  find all the details HERE.

We used the Boom Bots stamp set from Paper Smooches to create this little Valentine Card.


We stamped the image and colored it with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  The Stitched Frame and the Stitched Mini Scallop Square were cut using Die-Namics Dies from MFT Stamps.

Sending Love

The Simply Said sets from Avery Elle are so versatile.  We're using the Simply Said Love stamp and die today to create some Valentine cards for some of the older kids at Children's Hospital.  It's part of our January Card Challenge.  If you're not familiar with our challenge, you can find all the details HERE.


We used the Blueprints #23 Die-namics from MFT Stamps to cut the stitched, white piece in the center.  The patterned paper on the sides is from the NEW Hello Love 6" x 6" paper pad from Crate Paper.  The word LOVE, and the hearts, were cut from cardstock.  We added Clear Wink of Stella over the word and hearts.  Love that shimmer!

Whale Hello from Avery Elle

Today we have two more Valentine cards for the kids at Children's Hospital.  If you're not familiar with our Children's Hospital Card Drive for January, you can find all the information HERE.

We used the Whale Hello stamp set and die from Avery Elle to create these fun cards.


The background was created using the Wave background stamp from MFT Stamps and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  After covering the stamp with ink, we misted it lightly with water before stamping onto watercolor paper.


The cute little whales were stamped onto watercolor paper and colored with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  The watercolor papers for the waves were cut using the Double Stitched Square and Blueprints #20 Die-namics sets from MFT Stamps.  The blue pieces were cut using Blueprints #13.


For a final touch, we added some die cut hearts and covered them with glossy accents.
