Valentine Workshop Part 3

This was the last part of the Valentine Workshop from last week.  I kept telling everyone that it was easy and would go together quick.  We watched Leo from Dreaming Tree put the inside popup together several times and when you are using two-sided paper and you turn your papers over from the side they were supposed to be on, you've somehow made it infinitely harder on yourself!  The colors were chosen based on the rest of the workshop and the La Vie En Rose paper pack.

 

So, here is my Valentine Popup Card from the Dreaming Tree Valentine Bundle called I Love You SVG Bundle.  The card is 5" x 7" and there is a beautiful envelope to make for it if you want.

 

 

Next is the inside of the card:

 

 

The last picture is a close up and different viewpoint of the beautiful heart pop-up.

 

 

Here is what I used for this final project: 

 

Papers:  La Vie En Rose Paper Pack, Pomegranate and Black Cardstocks;

Stamps:  S1601 Beloved Bouquet

Inks:  Black and Pomegranate Exclusive Inks

Embellishments:  None

Other:   I Love You SVG Bundle

 

Later on I did add the "Happy Valentine's Day" stamp from the Stamp of the Month - Beloved Bouquet to the outside of the card and embossed one of the sayings from that set on the inside of the card.  You must have stamping!  :-)

 

Happy crafting!  Hope this gives you a few ideas for Valentine's Day!

 

 

 

Valentine Workshop Part 2

This is a continuation of yesterday's post.  We did six cards at my workshop last Saturday.  Five of the cards were standard cards, and tomorrow I will post the 6th card which was a 5"x7" card with a popup in the center.  It was an SVG file from Dreaming Tree.

 

The first picture is all 5 of the standard cards:

 

 

Now I will show each card separately for a better look.  The first one actually started out on the Roses side of the paper and then ended up switching to the black pattern:

 

 

Papers:  La Vie En Rose Paper Pack, Pomegranate, and White Daisy Cardstocks;

Stamps:  S1601 Beloved Bouquet

Inks:  Pomegranate Exclusive Inks

Embellishments:  Gold Ribbon (probably from Walmart; Gold Chevron Washi Paper from Hobby Lobby; Spellbinder scalloped heart and heart dies; Opaques Pearl Adhesive Gems (Ret.)

 

This next card was CASED from a lovely Australian consultant Denise Tarlington's blog.  I couldn't help myself, her card was SO lovely!  She has great instructions for creating this lovely card!

 

 

Papers:  La Vie En Rose Paper Pack, Pomegranate, Black and White Daisy Cardstocks;

Stamps:  S1601 Beloved Bouquet

Inks:  Pomegranate, Fern and Black Exclusive Inks

Embellishments:  Z1809 Black Shimmer Trim; Z3075 Red Glitter Paper

 

This next one I had the white card, the black matt and the rose pattern paper sitting on my craft pad for 2 days trying to figure out what to do.  Finally a mistake from another card helped me to pull this one together.

This one you saw earlier from last week's MojoMonday post.  I still think it is a fun card.  I love layers!

Last is a card that started out to be a portrait style card but after realizing that all my cards were portrait, I turned it into a landscape style card.

Valentine Workshop

This past Saturday was a great day for a workshop!  The featured stamp set was the Stamp of the Month, Beloved Bouquet.  We did 5 standard size cards, a treat box, and a 5" x 7" popup card that was cut from Dreaming Tree Site.  I used the La Vie En Rose paper pack.  It is so much lovelier when you see it.  Pictures never do it justice! 

The first item is the treat box filled with Hugs and Kisses:

 

 

This box was created from the Cricut CTMH Artiste cartridge.  It's on page 37.  If you want to download the Handbook for this cartridge, you can find it on Cricut's site here:  http://content.cricut.com/b/pdfs/res/handbooks/Artiste_Handbook_web.pdf

 

 

Recipe:

 

Papers:  La Vie En Rose Paper Pack, Black and White Daisy Cardstocks;

Stamps:  S1601 Beloved Bouquet

Inks:  Pomegranate Exclusive Inks

Embellishments:  Z3075 Red Glitter Paper; Hershey's Hugs & Kisses

 

If you would like to download my Design Space file for this treat box, you can find it here: https://us.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/35857500.  Anyway I think that is the link.  If not I will correct and repost.

 

Stay tuned tomorrow for the rest of the workshop.

 

Happy Crafting my friends!
