Valentine's Day Card



I made this Valentine's Day card for my grandson.

This is an A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2"). The white cardstock is Close To My Heart's (CTMH) White Daisy. The patterned paper is from CTMH's Heartstrings Paper Pack. The patterned paper for both the front and inside of the card is cut at 4 x 5 1/4". The White Daisy cardstock layer for both the front and inside of the card is cut at 3 x 4 1/4".  The heart on the front of the card and the sentiment & heart on the inside of the card are from the CTMH Workshops On The Go Heartstrings Cardmaking Kit and the dinosaur and sentiments on the front of the card are from the CTMH Love Ya Silly stamp set. The dinosaur and all sentiments were stamped using CTMH's Indian Corn Blue Exclusive Ink Pad. The heart on the front of the card was stamped with a Versamark Ink Pad and then I added red embossing powder and used my heat gun to emboss. I also inked the edges of the pattern paper and White Daisy layers with Indian Corn Blue.

Cupcake Birthday Card



I made this birthday card for a friend's daughter's birthday.

This is an A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2"). The base is Close To My Heart's (CTMH) White Daisy cardstock. The patterned paper is CTMH's Confetti Wishes and is cut at 4 x 5 1/4". The white mat on the front of the card is CTMH's White Daisy and is cut at 3 3/4 x 4". The white mat on the inside is CTMH's White Daisy and is cut at 4 x 5 1/4".

I used CTMH's December 2014 Stamp of the Month - Cutie Pie to stamp the cupcake and cupcake stand. I use CTMH's ShinHan Touch Twin markers to color the cupcake and stand. I used CTMH's Card Chatter - Birthday stamp set (which is retired) for the sentiment on the front and inside of the card. The rhinestones on the front are Queen and Co., which I colors with a CTMH's ShinHan Touch Twin marker.
