Seasonal Catalogue More Amore Valentine Card

I have another Valentine card made with the More Amore DSP.  I used a Heart Framelit to cut out the heart shape, then used one of the doily hearts from the More Amore DSP.  This pack of DSP comes with 2 sheets of Laser cut heart doilies, one in Real Red & the other in Primrose Petals.  On this card I used the Primrose Petal version, but changed it bit by grabbing my paper snips & cut off the scallops.

More Amore Affection Collection Valentine Card.

I really love the Affection Collection stamp set, and with a name like that I figured it had to be used on a Valentines card!  I used the last snippet of my Sale-A-Bration Pool Party ribbon :( and a few little flowers from the Boho Blossom punch.  I am so sad my Pool Party ribbon ran out, so will definitely be ordering $100 worth of product during Sale-A-Bration to get some more.

Stamp Sets:  Affection Collection.
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Primrose Petals, Basic Grey, Pool Party, More Amore DSP.

Ink:  Primrose Petals,  Pool Party.

Cool Tools: Sponge Dauber (sponged edges), Paper Snips, Sale-A-Bration Pool Party Ribbon, Boho Blossom Punch, Itty Bitty Punches, Hearts Framelits Collection.

Seasonal Catalogue Sneak Peek 2: More Amore Heart Framelit Valentine

I have seen lots of cards made with the framelits and with Valentines Day around the corner I thought I would give it a try with the Hearts Collection Framelits in the Annual Catalogue (p.191).

The More Amore DSP has lots of different patterns, some vintage, some clean & clear.  I love this little grey heart pattern so chose to use this as a focal pattern on my card.  I used the Pennant Parade stamp set for the sentiment & actually combined two of the stamps in this set to get the "Love U" sentiment.

Spritzer Butterfly Card

I wanted to feature the Spritzers for Stamp Club recently and found a great idea on frenchiestamps.com that uses the butterfly punch as a mask.  I also wanted to teach emboss resist so I combined the two techniques to create this card.

Birthday Butterfly Spritzer Card

We started with Whisper white and heat embossed the Alhambra wheel with clear embossing powder. This was then sponged with Island Indigo over the top.  The butterflies were punched out & placed on Whisper White card stock randomly.  I mixed up Champagne Shimmer paint & Midnight Muse into a spritzer bottle & spritzed all over.  Once the butterflies are moved you get a lovely masked effect.  We then stamped the sentiment and clear embossed it.

A new stamp club is starting in late April, 2013.  If you would like to join these technique classes then please email me or phone 0411113530 to book your place.  These classes will now be held in my purpose built stamp room in my new house (YAY!) in Torquay, Victoria.

Stamp Sets:  Alhambra Jumbo Wheel, Beautiful Birthday.
Paper:  Whisper White, Island Indigo.

Ink:  Island Indigo, Midnight Muse, Champagne Shimmer Paint.

Cool Tools: Pearls, Stampin' Spritzer, Sponge Dauber, Clear Embossing Powder, Heat tool,  Elegant Butterfly Punch, Bigshot, Finishing Touches Edgelits.
