Valentine's Day Card with Altenew

Some recent life events have caused my mojo to take a back burner.  I barely scraped this Valentine's Day card together for my husband.

I used Altenew's "Be A Lighthouse" stamp set along with Taylored Expressions masking heart stencil to stamp the scene.  Then I used Gina K inks to blend in some color.  Next I used my Polychromos pencils to add color to the lighthouse and landscape.

Shaker Birthday Card with Hero Arts - 2018

It is so fun making these shaker cards!

Here I used the chili pepper and a sentiment from the April 2018 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit.  I stamped the chili peppers repeatedly on my background (some are even mirror stamped for more fun), then I colored them with Copics.

I cut my frame using Taylored Expressions Stitched Frame Stacklets.

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on black cardstock them cut into a flag and adhered to the acetate window.

Chicken Thank you with Taylored Expressions - 2017

My neighbor brings my chickens treats that they love so made her this thank you card.  Aren't those hens from Taylored Expressions so cute!

The stamp set is "Happy Hens" that I stamped and then colored with colored pencils.  They are popped up and put on a stitched circle from Stamps of Life with some patterned paper by Gina K Designs.

New Baby Card with Hero Arts and Taylored Expressions - 2017

I made a card for friends that were expecting.

I could have sworn they said they were having a girl, but then they had a boy and I quickly made a new card.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts "Little One".  The patterned paper and cloud die is from Echo Park.  The small hearts and stars die cuts and stamped dotted lines are from Taylored Expressions "Hello Baby".
