Enduring Beauty Card

I created this card using the Enduring Beauty Bundle, which includes the Stamp set, Dies and Decorative Masks. For this card, I used all three products, but I am going to do two more cards in future blog posts; one using just the masks and one using the stamps and heat embossing, so stay tuned!

I stamped the large floral image in Memento Black ink and then used Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam inks for the flowers. I started out with very light ink and added more with each layer of the masks. I die cut the image using the dies from the bundle and layered on a Soft Sea Foam base with a layer of vellum cardstock embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing folder.

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set using Memento Black ink and fussy cut it to fit below the floral image. I added some of the die cut leaves in Mossy Meadow for some nice contrast on the front of the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped just a portion of the large image and used my blending Brushes to add color to the flowers and leaves.

Adoring Hearts for Any Occasion

I created this card to show the versatility of the Adoring Hearts bundle. It's a great set for that special Valentine in your life but it is also nice for those other occasions where you want to let someone know how much you care.

I started with a Night of Navy card base and added a Basic White layer that has been die cut using the Perennial Postage Dies and embossed with the Exposed Brick folder. It's hard to see in this photo but I also used a blending brush to add some Misty Moonlight ink to the embossed layer for a little more interest.

For the large hearts, I used the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper and die cut them using the Adoring Hearts dies. The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink.

I used another of the stamps in the set for the inside sentiment and added another of those cute little hearts in Night of Navy.

Adoring Hearts Card

I just love the new Adoring Hearts bundle in the Mini catalog! It offers some great options for Valentine's Day but it's also versatile enough to use for any occasion.

For this card, I started with a Crumb Cake base and added a Real Red layer. I used the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder with a piece of Basic White. I love the texture of the small hearts! The hearts are die cut from the Most Adored designer series Paper (free with a $50 purchase!) during sale-a-bration!
