Adorable Valentine's Day Cards


 Love is in the air, and in my cards. Here are a few of my favorite Valentine's cards I made this year! 
These cards incorporate some of my favorite stamp and die companies. Including Lawn Fawn, CottageCutz, Impression Obsession, Memory Box, Penny Black and Heartfelt Creations

The cat and dog cards were colored with Prisma colored pencils and the swan card was completely watercolored with Windsor and Newton paints. There's a variety of textured papers including glitter, embossed and colored card-stock. 

Whenever possible I try to combine elements from different companies to come up with my own unique design. This also allows me to reuse my favorite stamps and dies and create many different designs showcasing the versatility of the products.

Winter Wonderland Cards

Hello, I am finally back to talk about some of my most popular Christmas cards of the 2017 Winter season. The various outdoor snowy scene cards were favored by all my followers on Etsy and Facebook. They have received numerous re-pins on Pinterest. Take a look below at some of my favorites! These cards were a compilation of stamps and dies from many stamping companies including some of my favorites like, Tattered lace, Memory Box, Poppy dies, CottageCutz, and Cheery Lynn.




Snowmen anyone?

What is not to love about adorable snowman and pretty winter scenes? I love all snowman. Today, I am sharing some cute whimsical snowman. These little guys were hand stamped and alcohol inked with Copic markers, one of my favorite pastimes and the big screen snowman was hand assembled. These images are courtesy of Cottagecutz and Art Impressions. Some of the pretty snowflakes are by Sue Wilson, a beautiful die designer from England. There are some lawn fawn and Memory Box did elements in these cards as well. The sleigh is also a super adorable die by Memory Box. I love to combine elements from different stamp and die companies to create a truly unique little card. Comment below or send questions my way, if you like information on how to build these cute cards 😏



My favorite Christmas cards

Today,
I am sharing beautiful Christmas cards, that are three dimensional and intricate. I love to use many different stamps and dies by different brands and designers to really diversify the overall results. As you all know, I am a total addict and my craft room is starting to get really overcrowded.
Check out these super cute cards below. The blue and silver flat card uses several designerdies by Tattered Lace, Sur Wilson and that gorgeous flat bow is a two layer die by Cottagecutz. The silver embossed leaves are by Heartfelt Creations.

The little box card below was one of my favorites last Christmas - it utilizes primarily CottageCutz Dies, including Santa’s Workshop and the little girl and boy deers. The trees in the background are by Memory Box.
