Brain Power, A Celebration

Holley, a member of The Outlawz design team, where I am also a designer, is celebrating her 7th year post brain surgery! We all celebrate with her. The very  talented digi designer, Sandra Caldwell with BabyCakesDND, has created this special image just for her.

Please stop by Holley's blog and send her some love and congratulations.

I Love You Berry Much from Paper Smooches

Having recently met the delightful Kim, of Paper Smooches, I thought I would enter the challenge. I don't have a lot of Kim's stamps yet, but will soon fix that :), so I used some of the generous freebies to do my "love" card.

The stitched hearts are from Gina Marie Designs. I added some Wink of Stella to the grapes, white gel pen, drops of clear Nuvo Drops, and a sheer ribbon.

Bunny Love

I {heart} Sketches with a tWist #161 is back also. Always fun to try a new sketch. This one has a nice diagonal piece to work into your card. I totally forgot about the twist part which was birthday cake. Maybe we can pretend that the cake is inside the card? LOL! 
I selected Bunny Love as my image. As I am posting, this sweet image including sentiments are free! The diagonal die cut is from Tim Holtz called Lattice. The background is stamped with a peg stamp with the hearts, and the bunny's heart, filled in with a glitter gel pen. 

The Copic colors I used were R21, W0, W1, W2, and the bunny and sentiment are edged with Distress Inks and popped up. Two red hearts were added to the sentiment for embellishment.

Hogs and Kisses Easel Card for Valentine's Day

I couldn't be happier than to say that Faith is back to From the Heart after a long illness. The Progressive Challenge is back as well and this month's image is Hogs and Kisses PigWit. So perfect for a whimsical Valentine's Day card.

I made an easel card to show off this little cutie. The sentiment and candy kisses come with the set. I also used the other sentiment and added it to the inside with room to personalize.

Bake Me a Bloobel Cake Twisted Pop-Up Card

This is the second Progressive Challenge, Facebook, hosted by Lisa of Bloobel Stamps. I just love this image, Bake Me a Cake, as it comes with all kinds of little items you could add. I decided to build a cake as I just got a new set from Newton's Nook Designs, Made From Scratch, that I thought would make the inside pop-up fun.

I followed a tutorial from Dina on Split Coast Stampers to make the Twisted Pop Up Card. I must say that it took me more than one try to grasp the last step. But, I finally got it and decided to do a video to show how it opens.
