Whale you be mine? Shimmery Valentine…

Today’s card from leadership is a very fun and cute card.

oh whale

And you may want to click on the photo to see all shimmery details.

It was really fun to create the background, and so easy.. maybe a little messy. But hey, that IS the fun, right?! We had punched out 2 hearts with the full heart punch using sticky notes. We then paced them onto black cardstock and spritzed white shimmer spray (mix rubbing alcohol and a few drops of frost white shimmer paint in spritzer bottle) over the hear “masks”. Once dry we removed the hearts and had the masked look. VERY cool!

I think the Whale stamp set with the matching sizzlet die is just too cute to resist and will make for easy, quick and cute cards for all occasions. Mine is on the way Winking smile

Falling Leaves

It’s that time of year that we get to see lots of leaves and they are so pretty when they change colors. So I think was a little inspired by that when I created this little gift:

frame

I used the Sizzix die Leaves #2 and die cut a whole bunch of them in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede and Cajun Craze. Then I shimmer sprayed them and crumbled them up. I opened them back up and let air dry.

The wooden frame was painted first before I attached the leaves (ONE by ONE) with hot glue. The funny part is, that acrylic paint I had was way to light, so I added a little Early Espresso re-inker to that and wouldn’t you know it… it turned out be be just like Soft Suede!

This is actually a very easy project and could be a special gift or your own seasonal home décor!
