CASED Valentine

Happy Friday to you all, I am glad it's the weekend but I am working all day again tomorrow, I have worked 6 days a week since the New Year, it's beginning to take it's toll but got to get the overtime whilst it's on offer, it won't last long considering there are more job cuts on the horizon..........or will it??? The overtime is required as a result of the last batch of job cuts so if we lose any more peeps it will only get worse!!

Anyway here is another Valentine card, CASED from the fab Ilina Crouse, I couldn't resist, I love it. On the inside I have hid the ribbon and patching with another piece of Kraft cut to size, such a simple but effective card me thinks.

Supplies used:

Stampin up, well scripted (not available in the UK), Heart punch, Kraft card
Non SU - DP, Ribbon & heart nesties, paper piercer

Hope you like it, I am hoping to catch up on my commenting soon, I am just struggling to fit everything in on a Sunday.......need more hours in the day!!!

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.

Hugs

Passion for Promarkers

Happy New Year to all my blog readers, I hope you all had a great christmas, I got some new nesties of my lovely in-laws and a fab Hanglar stamp of my pal Debbie from Stampeezee........love em thanks, I also got the first 3 Twilight books that I wanted and a few other nice bits and bobs, some from crafty friends.....thank you to all of you. I also had some fantastic handmade cards which I shall be displaying in my craft room so I can look at them all the time.

Anyway it's time for Passion for Promarkers and this week we have a sketch for you and a theme of Love/Romance.

It has taken me an age to make this card, I had to keep leaving it and coming back etc and it has finished up nothing like it was intended!!! The mojo is AWOL

I have used adorable Magnolia stamps again apart from the 'with love' sentiment which is a retired SAB set by Stampin Up, the papers are Daisy bucket Love, mounted on SU real red cardstock. The ribbon and heart button are from by stash and the silver twine is SU, the edging to the papers was created with an MS punch and the heart cut with nesties.

I cannot wait to see all your romantic creations, thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.

Valentine Tilda

Please help me .......I had a nightmare colouring in my Tilda for this card, I never had the right watercolours or distress inks so I had to dig out my Letraset Promarkers. Can anyone tell me the best ink to use with these things as both Stazon & versafine smudge even when left over night (you would not believe how many Tilda's got binned last night for smudging or bleeding outside of the lines). I am also looking for a good tutorial for these pens as they all seem to be created around copics - any tips would be fab!!

Anyway, this card was created for 3 challenges, possibly 4, the sketch to follow was from Raspberry Ribbons, the theme over at Caardvarks was hearts & I stumbled across Bitten by the Bug - use the heart from the Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge on your card.....I hardly use my cricut so I thought I would have a go. Finally I am not sure if the card qualifies for the Arty Girlz challenge which was use red & white (I have green & flesh colors too) but I will enter it anyway!!!

I am not that pleased with this card.....i feel it needs a sentiment but could not get one to look right so i left it off......that space above the hearts just looks a bit bare!!!

I created this card using the following:

• Pink Tilda with Rose stamp (I know I used it on the card before but i love it)
• Cricut & Doodlecharms cartridge to cut the hearts
• Lovely butterfly & white ribbon from Rainbows & Ribbons (oodles of lush ribbon)
• Letraset Promarkers
• Cuttlebug & nestie dies to cut the rectangle Tilda is in
• Papermania red adhesive gems
• Stampin up corner ticket punch (only available in U.S at the moment)

Thank you for looking & please feel free to leave a comment.
