Handmade Paper Hugs

  **Add** Hello everyone! I'm sharing another card made with a brand new svg cut file from the Alex Syberia Design February Release and don't forget that the Instagram hop where you can win a gift certificate to the Alex Syberia Design Etsy store is still going. So hop on over to Instagram to participate  here ! For my card today I cut the LoveYou and Modern heart svg files on my Silhouette machine. The large LOVE word I heat embossed with 2 layers of WOW! Metalline Red embossing powder and on top a layer of WOW! Pink Sorbet embossing powder. The base of the red darkens the glitter layer, as well as holds the glitter in place, which I really like. On this photo you can see the light reflect in the glitter and it's just gorgeous! Don't you think? I heat embossed the Modern heart with 3 layers of WOW! Perissa embossing powder, a favorite of mine. The extra layers really make a difference as the heart becomes more of an embellishment than "just" a die-cut. I adhe...

  **Add** Hello everyone! Today is the day to celebrate the Alex Syberia Design February Release and we're doing that with an Instagram hop where you can win a gift certificate to the Alex Syberia Design Etsy store. So hop on over to Instagram to participate here ! For my card today I cut the Love U svg file on my Silhouette machine, as well as the love word and shadow from the Love Sentimnts svg file.

I then adhered the word on top and popped it up with foam squares. There's lots of sparkle on this one and I really hope you like it! I know I do 😉 I ...

Hello everyone! I'm ba-aaack! I've enjoyed a long, wonderful vacation, a much needed break.  As I think I've already mentioned I don't celebrate Valentine's day. But that's not going to stop me from using the cute Stamping Bella Valentine Chicks. Love cards can be used all year round, right?! The are pretty much the same, except for the colors used. For this one I've used Spun sugar and Picked raspberry Distress inks to ink smoosh the background. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Love by Kristina Werner. I just love this set/die. I stamped in Versafine Onyx black ink and covered with WOW! clear embossing powder. I repeated twice for a smoother, glossy look. Would you believe I've lost my notes on the colors used, LOL! I'm unsure about the Y's.  Copics used: Chicks: C5, Y08, Y06, Y00 + YR09, YR04 Bows: V09, V17, V15, V12 Pink: RV29, RV25, RV23 Envelope: C1 Cupcake: E29, E25, E23 For this card I used Shaded lilac a...
