Meant to Be All My Love

I added my own tiny Flirty Flamingo hearts leftover from the heart die cut on the bottom

This card was created because I saw Barb Kapla's card. I changed the ribbon and the white piece that the sentiment is on. She may have used Real Red for her matt and solid heart, it's hard to tell colors on the internet. I also added the pearls on the gorgeous lace heart in Flirty Flamingo. 

Here I added the half flower on the sentiment piece

I've been loving using up my Lovely Lipstick card stock because it is one of the coordinating colors in the All My Love Designer Series Paper that I chose to make my Valentines with.

I hope you enjoyed looking today! Please leave a comment before you go--I love reading them all.

From The Heart January Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals monthly blog hop. We're so glad you're here! January is all about making "Art From the Heart," featuring projects for Valentine's Day, Thinking of You, Get Well, or Sympathy. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal's blog. Either way, you've come to the right place. You'll find the full line-up below to help you move, or "hop" along from Pal to Pal.

Create a belly band to close your gate fold cards.

I am in LOVE with the new Meant to Be cling stamp set (and the matching Be Mine Stitched Framelits even though I didn't use them on this card!) as well as the All My Love Designer Series Paper. Since this month's Pals Blog Hop theme is "From the Heart" it was the perfect opportunity to create using these two products.

I love that with this sentiment, you can send this card for a variety of occasions.

The belly band (2" x 11", decorated with 1-1/2" x 11" designer series paper) is decorated and wrapped around the card to secure the two sides closed for giving. The inside is decorated using one of the same stamps I used on the tag.

Here you can see the detail that I created using one of the stamps, VersaMark and white embossing powder. I used Soft Sea Foam and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Write Markers to color the image.

This is what I have to clean up after my card is made! I always put everything away before I begin a new project. I think this space looks rather clean as it is, but usually I get a lot messier than this!

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month's Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they've created. Don't forget to show some love by commenting on our creations. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 13, 2019 when our Hoppin' Pals share their "It's Time to Sale-A-Brate" projects. Don't miss the fun!

Magical Mermaid Birthday

My background was inspired by Su Mohr, a stamping Pal of mine and the Magical Mermaid stamp set. I was not happy with how dark it started out, so I turned the stamped space into something a little different than her scene, then added the sentiment and ribbon much like her original design. 

The rectangular frame of the stamped image was created by inking up my acrylic block and stamping it onto Shimmery White card stock.
