Happy Valentines Day...


 Valentines Day is coming!

Hello everyone, I have a Valentine post for you today. I have recently fallen in love all over again with foiling, lol. I've always loved it but forgot about my poor Minc machine. Well, it's been up and running once again. Today's project has some foiling and some electronic die cutting.

So, for the elements on this card, I printed some digital paper with my Brother laser printer. Foiling will only work with the toner in this type of printer. An ink jet will not work. Fleurette has recently added "Foil Its" to her store already printed in toner ink and all you have to do is have the foil and a machine to run it through. No printer needed!!! Check those out, for sure.


It is so hard to capture high shine images, but the red heart has been foiled with red Deco foil. Heidi Swapp foils are good too. I first cut the heart out using my Silhouette Cameo and then ran it through my Minc with the red foil. The gold heart is cut from gold metallic paper in my stash.
I used foam tape to adhere the hearts/arrow element to the scallop shape. I then added that, along with the sentiment, to a piece of red card stock matted with black.


Sorry for the reflection but the red and gold are so shiny! Beautiful in real life. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. I scattered around a few gold, black and red, sequins and glitter dots to finish off the card front. This entire piece was put on to a white A2 sized card base.

Here is where I got the parts and pieces for this project.


I hope you get a bit of inspiration from my post today. If you have never done any foiling, maybe you'd want to try with some of the Foil Its first. If you love it like I do, you'll wanna foil everything. I picked up my Brother laser printer at a local office store for under 75.00. The one thing with laser printers is the ink cartridge lasts a long time! And you don't get the clogging of the ink jets that you can with an ink jet printer...which they say you need to print something often to keep them open. If you don't, you'll be paying for a cleaning or worse, replace your print head...if it can be replaced! Ask me how I know!!! In fact, I recently had to replace a almost new ink jet printer (clogged jets too costly to repair) with a Brother color laser printer. In case you want to check it out, I got mine from Amazon.

Here's a link to a past Valentine project in case your interested.

 Valentine Party.

So...pull out your crafting supplies and have some fun. There's still time to whip up some Valentine goodies. Your loved ones will think you're a rock star!

Happy Crafting

Hugs & Kisses

Hello Crafty Friends... Mitsyana Wright here!!
And I'm back again with Fleurette Bloom Stamps... whom has just asked me to be a part of their Design Team!!! Eeeeeek!! How cool is that??!!

I don't know about you but hearing great news like that always make me feel loved! And I've been in a very lovey-dovey type of mood lately... lots of warm fuzzies!


And what says love better than red roses...I think roses are very romantic, by the way!

 So, I made this simple, elegant, and "tres romantique" card using Fleurettes new Roses in Bloom set.



I started by stamping my image a total of three times. 

Next, I colored them  and I added highlights using a white gel pen.

I cut out two of the images by hand, and the third I die cut using a stitched circle die. Then embossed the die cut with an embossing folder.

I added foam adhesive to the back of the flowers and layered them onto each other for more dimension and removed one of the flowers for the very top layer.

I used this light green paper  and created a A7 (5"x 7" folded) sized card base.

Then die cut printed text paper  using a stitched rectangle die. 
I used a tape runner to attach my rectangle to the front of my card base.

I used the same circle die from earlier and traced around the outside diameter of the die as a template. Then hand cut out the traced shape and layered it under my paper pieced roses.

I added foam tape under the circle for more dimension then adhered it to my card front.

I die cut a pennant and the letters XOXO and adhered the little flag to the card, slightly tucking it behind the circle.

Lastly, I added a heart shaped cabochon using a clear quick dry adhesive.


You can really see all the added dimension with all the different layers (above picture).

Finished Card

I really hope you enjoyed my project for today and that it filled you with 
a bit of love, a little romance, or even some heartfelt inspiration.

Wishing you lots of hugs, kisses, & Valentine Wishes,
Mitsy
