More Valentines!

I made another Valentine with  Cheri Wengers digital Love Notes set.  I just love tracing her hearts with Stickles!  As you can see I went overboard with these, red inside and gold outside.  I was trying to keep this masculine for my Son.  Not sure if you can tell but I used a wide red satin ribbon then layered the red and gold braid on top of that.  I used 5mm Ruby Rim Stones from Judy at Pizzazz Aplenty and trimmed the white card stock with my Gold Leafing Pen.  Did I tell you I am hooked on envelope liners?  I traced the envelope lip, cut it out and then used a punch on this one.  Here is a tip from my friend Emily at Sweetly Scrapped.  There is a new photo editing website called iPiccy.  iPiccy makes your photo awesome with many easy to use photo tools. Edit pictures, apply beautiful photo effects, add text and even paint! Enjoy free photo editing online and show your creativity with iPiccy editor!  For those of you who used Picnic, it will be closing in April, they will give refunds to all of their Premium members.  I used iPiccy today, it is awesome!  Thats it, thanks for looking, and most of all thanks for stopping by and leaving me all the wonderful encouragement, I really can't tell you how much I appreciate it.  ~Diane

Be Stickle My Heart

Like my pun, be still my heart?  I really went crazy with the Stickles on this one.  I used Cheri Wengers cute Love Notes set to make this Valentine.  I am going to enter it into Taylor Usry's layering challenge over at Paper Craft Planet.  The prize is a $35.00 gift certificate to Perfect Paper Crafting, where they have this fabulous tool called Perfect Layers, check out Taylor's tutorial , it is the answer to getting your layers lined up straight, I really need one of these.  I hate it when I get it layered crooked, it drives me crazy!  I also used some Tim Holtz distress ink, an embossing folder and the pretty red glitter tape which was part of the Christmas loot from my daughter.  I also popped up the letters and the heart with foam tape to give it some added dimension.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Another Pink Saturday

How sweet she is, Beverly is hosting her Pink Saturday again and I am in!  I made this card with Cheri Wengers Paris Chic digital set and I love it.  I made this card earlier this week but I saved it for Pink Saturday.  I really love how this came out, even though I have not quite figured out digital layering.  The pretty pink stripe paper is part of the set, I printed it out then ran the page through my printer again to add the rich dark pink border.  Some people can actually do that all together and print it out, till I master that step, this way works for me.  I fussy cut the Eiffel tower and added some Stickles to it.  The pink rhinestones (Pizzazz Aplenty) were set in silver Stickles also, I let the Stickles form a setting around them.  Added a die cut, doily and some distress ink and done!  Don't forget today is the last day of Cheri Wengers sale.  That's it for today, we finally have some snow here in Michigan, 5/10 of an inch, and heading back to the 40"s by Tuesday,  I love this mild winter!  Be sure to stop by and see Beverly and what everyone else has done for Pink Saturday.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Love birds

Not your traditional Valentine with hearts I know.  I made this with a freebie from Cheri Wenger  (Don't forget she still has a sale going on).   MyGraphico has been offering some wonderful free images weekly from some very talented artists in the Brag Party Group.  The beautiful bird was the free image this week, it is 1 piece from the Lovey Dovey set.  I combined it with Cheri Wenger's SVG Framing Shapz 1, which I love.  True sign of a great SVG is when you can cut it into this small of a size and it still works, this set really does cut like butter.  The beautiful bubble pearls are from Pizzazz Aplenty.  , the colors were perfect for this card.  The papers are Tim Holtz glassine and Crafty Secrets.  I don't know why I save these beautiful papers, it's like I'm afraid to use them, lol.  Still figuring out my Big Shot Pro, I embossed the glassine and the and the Shapz with it.  I also used some Tim Holtz distress inks on this.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Butterfly Love

Just having some fun playing with one of my new Cheri Wengers sets.  Cheri gifted me the Paris Chic set, the one with with the heart, (Thanks again Cheri).  I loved tracing her beautiful scroll with Stickles, this did not photograph that well either. The heart is a pretty pale shade of lavendar/pink, it looks dull here.  The beautiful butterflies can be found in another one of her sets Stylish Butterflies.  I made another card with the Paris Chic set but I am holding it to post for Beverly's Pink Saturday later this week.  I like that one better, but my sons girlfriend will like this one better and I had her in mind when I made it.  These are Cheri's sets, I'll be back on Friday with the other card.    Thanks for looking~Diane

Ho Ho Ho Holiday Sale at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff

Lindsay is so generous, she is offering her 50% off sale before the Holidays so you still have time to shop and make something in time for Christmas.  Everything is 1/2 off through December 4th.  That means there is still time to pick up this awesome SVG Envelope and Envelope liner set  that I am totally in love with, it cuts like butter!
I made the card using Cheri Wenger's SVG Framing Shapz 1, the white panel is loaded with glitter, I don't think it shows up in the picture though.  The image is a freebie from Magic Moonlight, the SVG snowflake is a freebie from Birds Cards.  The bakers twine and rhinestones are from Pizzazz Aplenty.  
I have a tip to share with you today too.  Get a little extra life out of your cutting mats by washing them in soapy water, let air dry.  Once dry give a light spray with a spray adhesive like 3M Super 77, it gives it the light tack of the original mats.  I've tried using the Zig 2 way glue, but that makes them so sticky that I am cleaning paper for days.  
A little late in the week but I am joining in the party at Make it Monday #65.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane
