We are Getting Sentimental at Shopping Our Stash!!!

Challenge #337 at Shopping Our Stash is "Getting Sentimental" which translates to "make the sentiment the focal point". Easy Peasy or not? I took the easy way out and used a die-cut as my focal point, it's pretty well a good part of the front and I only embellished it with a glitter heart.

The card speaks for itself, this die can be used for Valentines day or as a get well card.

Close up of the glitter heart.

Finished the inside with a simple (and old) Valentine sentiment from Inkadinkadoo, I couldn't find a link to their business but you can find their stamps online in many other sites. I also added a die-cut day to the sentiment on the inside.

I am entering this in:
Naughty or Nice challenge ~~ Celebrate

Wedding Time......

Can you believe it's the second of May?  Looking ahead to June and Weddings this is the time to shop for all the awesome paper flowers, swirly bling and so much more at the Eyelet Outlet store.  

Tuesday afternoon is my time to post on the Eyelet Outlet Blog and since I had beautiful white paper flowers and swirly rhinestone bling I knew I wanted to make a Wedding card.

The image is from Inkadinkadoo and I die cut with spellbinder's ovals, I really wanted the flowers to be the star of the card. I used very simple gold mini brads to put the layers together. I had spritzed all the petals with simmer mist. Picked two swirl pieces from the rhinestone blingy swirls. 

Ahhhh the stars of the card the gorgeous paper flowers there are 40 in each package and come in a variety of colours and patterns. I tucked a pair of gold rings in between the petals.

The swirly bling also comes in a variety of colours as well as pearls in many colours too.

I share Tuesdays with Stephanie check out what awesomeness she made for you today just scroll down and check her post out.

Enjoy today and keep on crafting.

Thinking of You………….Clearly.

A while back one of the ladies in our group hosted a Thinking of You swap, I had been given an Inkadinkadoo clear set for a Secret Santa last Christmas, it is one that I have been looking at for months and finally got some ink on it. The base of the card is 4 1/4 X 11 piece of clear acetate folded in half. I inked the Hero Arts background stamp with white stazon ink and stamped the front of the clear base. The poppy stamp was inked with momento black and coloured with pencil crayons and odourless mineral spirits. The image was layered on Ridinghood Red., then added the real red ribbon.
