Cupid's Arrow for Pals Paper Arts

PPA128 Color Challenge: Use Any Red

Hello everyone and welcome to the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge. Use any red! I hope you will play along with us and use any of your favorite RED products. When you post your card onto your blog or gallery, please label it PPA128.

I chose Stampin' Up's Poppy Parade for my "red" card stock base. It's perfect for a Valentine. My next layer is a Whisper White Framed Tulips embossed 4" x 5-1/4" panel. I "colored" the tulips using a Blender Pen and Poppy Parade ink. On top of that, I placed a Poppy Parade Top Note die that is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

This is the first time I've used White Waffle Paper and I absolutely love how the color underneath comes through a bit. It is so easy to create a ruffle anywhere with this paper.

The small Poppy Parade heart is from the Embosslits Fashionable Hearts die and the Large Poppy Parade Heart is from the Bigz Curly Label Die run through my Big Shot with the Movers and Shapers die. The small Silver Glimmer heart is punched using the Small Heart Punch. I stamped Cupid from P. S. I Love You in Poppy Parade and snipped him out, then placed him on top of the hearts using Stampin' Dimensionals.

My photography skillz don't quite show how sparkly this paper is! It's so easy to punch and create glittery items without the hassle and mess of glue and glitter.

My hand cut banner demands some lovin'! For more sparkle, I anchored it here with a Fire Circles large brad. The banner is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

This fancy card could not be without an inside that was bare, so I created this space to stamp and write on with a Whisper White Top Note die cut. I used a heart from P. S. I Love You, which I dipped in Poppy Parade ink, stamped off, then stamped onto the die cut. Over the heart, I stamped another sentiment in Basic Black ink from P. S. I Love You.

I'd love to know how you like this fancy Valentine. Please leave me a comment below.

Tiny Tags Set

Love

Thanks So Much

The Full Set

This was the easiest set of cards to make! I ran the four pieces of Very Vanilla through my Big Shot using the Elegant Lines embossing folder. Next, I cut the four colors of card stock to the A2 size card. The colors I used are: Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Basic Black and Old Olive. I tied the coordinating Satin ribbon in a bow around each piece and adhered it to my card front.

To finish the cards, I die cut the same colors from the Movers and Shapers Modern Label shape and used that to matte my sentiments (punched with my Modern Label hand punch) from Tiny Tags in the same four colors of ink. I added clear rhinestones to each one and popped them up on dimensionals. Each card also has a Very Vanilla inside for writing on.

I was thinking that the Movers and Shapers were only good to make a CARD with the cut out shapes, but now I see how I can use the magnet piece to cut out just the matte to match each of my hand punches! (Star, Heart, Modern Label and Heart)

Since the Chocolate Chip satin ribbon is no longer available, you could substitute Early Espresso. (Wish I had thought of that sooner!)

Simple Scalloped Love

This is my first use of the Scallop Oval from the Movers and Shapers Die. It coordinates beautifully with the Scallop Oval punch. I made the inside of my card white so you would see the punch shaped better. See how it fits exactly into the die cut out? I used my Big Shot and it was made so quickly.

I hope you like looking at my card and will leave you comments. I like reading them all.
