Christmas Stepper card

 Hi there!  It's been a long time since I made a stepper card.  I joined the group Crafty Fun W/Friends of LV Handcrafted on Facebook.  They had a mystery craft along on Sunday.  They only told you what supplies to have ready and what size papers you needed to have ready.  Then they went step by in the livestream and it was so much fun!!  

I had to make dinner that night so I didn't get back to finishing up the embellishing of the card until today.  

Supplies:
Echo Park - Christmas Magic collection (6x6)
Simon Says Stamp - Fancy Tidings of Cheer die
Tim Holtz - Paper snowflakes, mini dies
enamel dots

I fussy cut the main focal image from a cut apart from the paper pad.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful day!

I Love You

 Hello there!  I've got a cute Valentine card to share today.  This was fun to make.  I used an old embossing folder from Provocraft/Cricut that I haven't used in a long time.  I colored the hearts with Distress crayons.  I need to use those more.  They are fun to finger paint with :-)  

I sent this card into Kristina Werner for her monthly Mail Call and you can find more information HERE.  This is my first time participating in her Mail Call.  I just hope I've allowed enough time for this card to make it to her in time for the video in early February.  Either way it will be fun to see all the Valentine/Love themed creations!

Supplies:
Provocraft/Cricut - Love Is in the Air embossing folder
Distress Crayons - Tumbled glass, Broken China, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Spiced Marmalade, Shaded Lilac, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade
Scrapbook.com - I love You die
holographic foil cardstock

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day!!

S.W.A.K.

 Hello there!  I've been working on some Valentines the last few days.  So fun!  I painted with Mica Spray Stain raised lips on this embossed cardstock.  It gave it a fun shimmer.  And the SWAK is cut 3 times from 110lb cardstock to give it some dimension.  And I covered the letters with Diamond Stickles to give them some glittery shine.  Since the letter die set didn't have a period I used some tiny hearts cut out of pink foil cardstock.  This looks way cuter in person :-)

Supplies:
Darice - Lips Kissing embossing folder
Distress Mica Spray Stain - Cocktail Party
Unity Stamp Co - Scallop Rectangle die
Tim Holtz - Alphanumeric Stretch Upper
pink foil cardstock
Diamond Stickles

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a beautiful day!
