Happiness is Being Loved

I'm so happy it's Friday. The Little Guy doesn't have school next week, so I look forward to some free time.

Here's the the last card I made for the PSA Essentials Love Blog Hop last week. This card features ribbons from Reasonable Ribbons, bling from Prima, and the stamps from PSA Essentials.

Have a good weekend!

Pink Heart Love

Here's a card I really enjoyed making. It's full of flower goodies from Prima Marketing. I really love the Restoration paper collection from Crate Paper. I colored the ribbon with a Yellow Copic marker in order for it to coordinate with the card.

Gotto run! It's raining like crazy here and I have to take the older car in for a smog check.

Stamps: Love Birds (PSA Essentials)

 Instructions

1. Make card from cardstock. Adhere patterned paper and round the bottom corners.
2. Hand sketch a larger heart from cardstock & glue flowers to it (remove wire stems from flowers first).
3. Use a Copic marker to dye ribbon if it doesn’t match with your project. Simply “color” on top of the ribbon and allow it to dry.
4. Trim the edges from a doily and glue to a cardstock scrap.
5. Tie ribbon bow around front flap.
6. Stamp sentiment and color heart with Copic marker.
7. Attach large heart to card front.

Red Rose Heart-Shaped Flower

Hi there! If you are interested in winning over $500 of product, please go to the 1st Annual Love Blog Hop at PSA Stamp Camp today!

Here's one of the 4 cards I made for the PSA Essentials Blog Hop. A few weeks ago, I was sent a box with so many lovely products to work with: Prima Marketing flowers, Helmar adhesives, and ribbons from Reasonable Ribbons. My goodness, does Prima make the most gorgeous flowers! I punched out a red heart shape and glued red roses to the cardstock (I first trimmed off the wire stems). The ribbons I had been sent were all brown, taupe, and tan colored, so I used a green Copic marker to dye the ribbon a green color. It worked! I had never tried doing that before. I stamped the PSA image and then added some Diamond Glaze to the heart for some added interest.
