Handmade Paper Hugs

  Today I'm sharing a fun flip card using Sweet November Stamps Valentine Sweetwees. I once again followed the tutorial from Torico along with my My Favorite Things Rectangle Flop card die. I really love how this card opens up to even more treaty fun! The patterned paper was made using a Memory Box stencil.

  Hey everyone! Today I'm guest designing for the Alex Syberia Designs February release Instagram hop.  **Add**  For this card I used the Tiny Flowers cover die, the Giraffe-ic Friends stamp set and coordinating die set and the Love & Hugs die set. There's a Danish childrens song about a giraffe that meets a rhino who wants to dance. His long neck means he can't dance, so he gets sad. Until he meets a girl giraffe who'd rather entwine their necks 💕 This was my inspiration for this card. I stamped the giraffes in brown ink to make the spots brown and then used light brown Copic markers to color them. I stamped and die cut 8 of the flowers in the set, colored them with Copic markers and placed them to make a heart. The bushes are inkblended using Mowed lawn and Rustic Wilderness Oxide inks and I colored the tiny hearts in with a Posca marker. The Love word and shadow are cut from 2 shades of pink cardstock, and I then added a bit of Stickles to make it sparkle. I did...

  **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 covered the cardbase with double sided adhesive and poured over WOW! Pink Sorbet embossing powder. I could have used my embossing ink, but I wanted to prevent the ink from wetting and warping my base cardstock. And it worked out great. I adhered the heart panel to the base and stamped my sentiemnts (from Simon says stamp Hey love). I left the love word white and heat embossed the shadow with 3 layers of WOW! Florida Sunset. 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 ...

Hi guys! Today I'm sharing a custom made anniversary card. Here in Denmark we celebrate big at 12½ years. Copper anniversary we call it. So you see why there had to be copper on this one. I white heat embossed the Simon Says Stamp Heart to Heart background stamp, spritzed with water and added Nuvo shimmer powder. The pink one. So gorgeous! Don't play with these often enough! I love the different shades from very suttle to very bright, and the SHIMMER! Doesn't show here too well, you'll have to take my word for it. The happy couple (Creative expressions/Sue Wilson) was cut from some Tonic white shimmering cardstock (that I've had for ages). I thought it would give it just a bit of uuumpf! The edges of the base and that Danmore hobby 12½ circle on vellum was heat embossed using WOW! Copper sparkle. Both sentiment and banner die are from Simple and Basic, heat embossed using Altenew Golden peach embossing powder. Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe, and happy crafting! T...

  Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a different kind of love card. Kristina from ScrapSalig was so sweet to gift me this gorgeous digital stamp. Did you know she now has rubber stamps too? They're on her own website and if you're not in Sweden you might have to send her an email. But she's the sweetest girl, so don't be shy 😉 I honestly should've used my black regular Distress ink, but I chose the oxide one because I thought it would give a little more when using water. It just wasn't dark enough so I ended up swiping the whole pad across the bottom left side of the panel and then blending it out. I flicked on some water and also splattered diluted black soot oxide. I die cut the My favorite things Hearts entwined, heat embossed it with a selfmade mix of WOW! Metalline red embossing powder and WOW! Your carriage awaits, which is a actually a glitter. I cut it in 2 pieces to fit it on both ends of my image. I poped up the image for dimension and as you can...

  Hello everyone! Just a quick post from me today. Like I said, I don't celebrate Valentine's but I do celebrate love. And I just really love this image.  It's another Make it Crafty digital stamp, colored with Copics, fuzzy cut and popped up on some (really old) patterned paper. Yes, the paper has glitter gel hearts. The "matte" is Copic colored as well and both panels are cut with a Simple & Basic die. Sentiment from Waffle Flower Crafts. Copics used: Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000 Pink: RV17, RV14, RV13, RV11 Red: R89, R29, R46 Black: W9, W7, W5, W3 Hair: E40, E42, E44, E47 Lips: RV29, RV10 Eyes: B97, B23, B00 That's it, guys.
