Love You Much

Hellooooooo my crafting friends. I know it has been a week since I last posted...but with good reason. Last Thrusday my friend Lori and I went to into a craft/wedding shop that is run by a girl I went to high school with. Lori encouraged me to ask her if I would be able to sell my cards at her place of business. The answer was "YES" she said she doesn't have time to make them and has been turning people away who want homemade cards. Stacey said she would love to sell mine. Yahooo!!! So I having been going through my cards all week trying to get them ready to sell. I am very nervous I hope people like them. They will be sold at Memories Such As These in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Thank you so much Lori for encouraging me!!!! There is more good new but I will get to that later in the post.

I wanted to make a card today...because withdrawal has set in..hee hee. I hopped on over to the Diva Coffee Break Designs Team Blog. They had super fabby colors this week, that I just had to try.

The card layout I found on Saturday, but had no time to create with it. Card Patterns have some amazing layouts and are very flexible with how you interpret the sketch. Please hop on over to both blogs and check them out.






I tried to make a valentines day card that could be for both men and woman. When I was making the cards I started off one way and then just made some subtle changes to one of the cards. I hope you like them both.

Recipe:
Stamp: Love you much (SU)
Paper: Whisper White, Bravo Burgandy, Soft Suede, Pretty in Pink (all SU)
Ink: Bravo Burgandy (SU)
Accessories: Scalloped Circle Punch (SU), Circle Punches (1 1/4", 1")(SU), Bravo Burgandy Ribbon (SU), paper piercer, dimensionals (SU), Markers (SU), Dazzling Diamonds (SU), pearls, cuttle bug folder (Traffic Jam), Nesties (Large & small)circles, sponge.


Card #2

Recipe:
Stamp: Love you much (SU)
Paper: Soft Suede, Bravo Burgandy, Pretting in Pink, Whisper White (all SU)
Ink: Bravo Burgandy (SU)
Accessories: Markers (SU), scalloped circle punch (SU), cirlcel punches (1 1/4" & 1" SU). Pretty in Pink Ribbon (SU), dazzling diamonds (SU), dimensionals (SU), star dust stickles, paper piercer, pearls, cuttlebug folder (traffic jam), nesties (large & small) circles, sponge.

So both cards are the same layout, just switched up the ribbon and paper colors. Hope you like them.

This morning I was on the phone with my girlfriend...it was the most fab Thursday morning for her. She made the FAB 4 for one card and then went over to another blog and she was the Featured Artist for two of her cards and to make that even better through a random draw she won the goodie package. How SWEET IS THAT...and all before 9 a.m.. So congratulations my friend on your wonderful achievements this morning. Can't wait to see all the creativity you pump out. Click here to see her blog. Another friend Leanne just started her blog Banking on Crafts and she place TOP 5 the other night for SPCC challenge. Congrat's to you too on your hard work, which is beautiful. WAY TO GO GIRLS!!!

I hope to make a couple of more cards tonight...at least one...happy crafting...thanks for poppin in and see you soon.

  2. Ooh, great cards! I love how the texture shows up so much on the white one. They are both wonderfully done. And I know just who you are talking about that had such a great day today! ;)

    Congrats on selling your cards! I've always secretly wanted to do that but have been too nervous to approach anyone I guess.
