Raccoon Hugs Valentine's Day Card

Hey, there! It's hard to believe that Valentine's Day is in just 6 weeks, isn't it!? Here's a simple card with traditional colors that's perfect for using up scraps of cardstock. And the cute little raccoon from InkOn3 is just the cutest! 

I always keep my scraps of cardstock ( and patterned paper ) to use on future projects - but I never actually get around to those "future projects"! This is one of my go to techniques for using up scraps. I cut four colors of cardstock into strips a quarter of an inch thick, but you could cut to any width you like - the technique works with just about anything! I covered a piece of A2 sized cardstock with my favorite liquid adhesive and adhered the strips in a diagonal pattern. 

Once my background was covered in pretty strips of pink cardstock I used a circle die to cut a hill for my critter to sit on. I cut down a piece of cardstock and then hung a large circle die off the bottom to create a perfectly even hill shape. I added the hill to the bottom of my card using fun foam for dimension. 

I stamped the adorable raccoon and balloon image from the InkOn3 Raccoon Hugs Stamp Set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and colored him in with Copic markers. I used the coordinating Raccoon Hugs Die Set to cut out the image and added him to the hill with foam tape. I used Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink to stamp a sentiment from the Raccoon Hugs Stamp Set below my little critter. 

I wanted to finish the card with some glam so I added Liquid Pixie Dust to the raccoon and balloon as well as Glossy Accents to make the balloon shine. Thanks for joining me! I'll see you soon! 

Love Birds Card with GDT Beth

Good morning my crafty friends! Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.   I am so happy to be guest designing for Fleurette Bloom again today!  She has some great SVG files and clear stamps.  Make sure you check them out!  I made a card using her Valentine Be Mine kit.

 I used papers from DCWV's Jet Black and DIY Wedding stacks as well as red cardstock from Recollections.  That little heart cut out is embellished with red stickles.  Isn't that bird silhouette so pretty?!

 I finished it off with a hand cut banner for the sentiment stamp and Cranberry Trendy Twine wrapped around the bottom.

The best part is this card will work for the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday but can also be used for weddings or anniversaries.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Love is in the Hot Air Balloon Shaker Card

Hey everyone, Ilda here from the Design Team!

Well, I finally got around to creating something for Valentines Day! YAY for LOVE! Riding a Hot Air Balloon is still on my bucket list... maybe one day soon I will get to do that!

These cute hot air balloons and cloud stamps I used come from Fleurette Bloom's Up, Up and Away Stamp Set. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to vividly colour them in. The arched banner is a PnC (print and cut) file from her Love is in the Air Hot Air Balloon SVG Kit done with the Silhouette Cameo. I also used the Spellbinder pierced Rectangle dies to create the Shaker portion of the card. 

To finish off the card, I added another stamped sentiment to inside panel. The hearts are also from the Up, Up and Away Stamp Set and the sentiment comes from the Happy Day Stamp Set.

 Hope you "LOVE" my Love is in the Hot Air Balloon Shaker Card and are inspired to create one of your own!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)

Hi Everyone! I'm so happy to be here and look forward to sharing my projects 

using Fleurette Bloom’s original SVG files, printables and digital papers.

Here is a Valentine Decor project I created using Fleurette’s Dia De Los Muertos 3D Kit.

I started out with a 10.25" x 8.5" chalkboard from Walmart. 

Here’s what you'll need:

I opened the banner file in my Silhouette Designer Edition. I ungrouped and deleted the border elements. I sized it to fit my chalkboard and cut out of vinyl on my Cameo. Weed out the areas you want to paint using the Xacto Knife.

I transfered to the chalkboard using transfer tape and added blue painters tape to cover up my frame. Paint the exposed areas with the foam brush and use a fine brush for the tight areas.  Use a small amount of acrylic paint and dab on for a chalk effect.

After it dries remove the tape and vinyl. (this is the fun part!)

I painted the frame with a light coat of white acrylic so the wood grain shows through. Cut the Small Rosettes from Fleurette Bloom's Lush Flowers 3D SVG Collection. I used the tweezers to hold the end and wrapped the paper to form the rosette. I secured with a glue gun and added colored pearls.

I hope you enjoyed my project. I am very excited and honored to be on the team.
