I Just Love you! PP427

February 3, 2019

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week and she has a fabulous theme challenge for all of us. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it is the perfect challenge. Always so fun to spread a little love!

I am also entering my card in the Cardz 4 Gals #89 Challenge.
Hearts is the theme--red, pink and white.
I am also playing along with Dragonfly Journeys--I Heart You #133.
And the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.

My card is created on a white card base. I LOVE lots of layers so, I added a Real Red and Pink layer behind my fun Valentine paper. This card is for my GRAND daughter Addison. She loves to talk on the phone and she loves music. I added the strip of music notes and used a heart border to add two red borders to make the music paper pop. Then I cut four ovals using dies to place behind this MFT Pure Innocence Cutie. I used the A Phone Call Away stamp set. I paper pieced her outfit and colored her with Copic Markers. I used the matching die to cut her out. The sentiment is stamped in Versa Mark ink and heat embossed in white embossing powder. A little Wink of Stella was added to the phone and her hair for shine. I also added Glossy Accents on the pink phone and black shoes. My Aunt Betty had a phone like this and I always loved it. Great memories!

I added a strip of Real Red and the Valentine paper on the inside of the card. I stamped the same image in black and added a sentiment from the same set. A few red enamel hearts were added for fun. A strip of the black Valentine paper was added on the flap of the envelope.

I hope my card made you smile today!

I Just Love You! Sketch Saturday #549

Happy Saturday Sketchers!

We one of our favorite super fun sponsors this week, Star Stampz!

The prize this week:

3 digis of the winner's choice from the Star Stampz store!

Here is sketch #542:

My card is created on a white card base.  I used two patterns I found in my Valentine stash and backed them in Real Red card stock.  The small white rectangle was also backed in Real Red.  The little cupid and bulls eye are from Paper Smooches Love Struck stamp set.     I colored the Cupid with Copic Markers and cut him out.  I added white gel pen and Wink of Stella for shine.  I also added Glossy Accents.  An enamel red heart was added in the center of the bulls eye.  Three enamel hearts were added to complete the sketch.  
 
The inside sentiment is from the Love Struck stamp set.  

I am trying to finish the inside of my cards and make a matching envelope.  That way they are almost ready for the mail.

Thank

I Just Love You -----PP426 and SSC 197

January, 27, 2019

It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps! I am excited that I could combine these two challenges this week!

The fabulous PP sketch is by our talented hostess Jaydee! The beautiful SSC color combo made me smile! I love these vibrant hues! Oh, there are endless possibilities with both of these challenges. We sure hope you will play along!

Use a minimum of 3 colors and a neutral of your choice.

My card is created on a white care base. I made a lot of alcohol panels one day and decided to use one on today's card. I used Yupo paper and several different inks. The gold shimmer heart is cut using a die from Cherry Lynn Dies --Two of Hearts. I stamped the sentiment from MFT Pure Innocence I Just Heart You stamp set in Versa Fine and heat embossed it in gold embossing powder. I added a few sequins for shine.

I had a strip left over from the main panel and added it to the inside of the card. I added a sentiment from the MFT Sweet Nothings stamp set to complete the inside of my card.
