Non-Traditional Valentine Card

I had seen a few cards done in the last little while done with a black base... They really look sharp so I wanted to give it a try! I had just got my Meant To Be bundle order so thought that was a perfect time to try 😉 I did 2 different takes
The first one I tried was this one using the Grapefruit Grove foil paper in the 2019 Sale-A-Bration catalog. I wasn't quite sure about it but I got some good feed back when I posted it to the Exclusive Demo Group on Facebook. Everyone seemed to think it was o.k. so I guess I will believe them 😂
On this one I used the Heart Epoxy Droplets to give it just a little something more. The Card Stock and the foil paper are a pretty good match in Grapefruit Grove so I didn't want to put the foil paper over the card stock. Adding a few of the hearts back to the cutout looked really nice too.

I do however think I like my second attempt better! I love the look of the Lovely Lipstick color with the black a little better, just a sharper look it think. Both cards are pretty much the same, I just added the little hearts in different places.
I almost forgot that I used the new Stitched Rectangles as well on these cards. Having the black on black, you almost don't notice. I added the slightly larger layer on the pink card to see how that was... that might be part of the reason it is my favorite of the 2!
Pretty much the same cards but I can't believe how different they look with just adding the simplest little differences.

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it. I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card. Sketch 319 For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper. I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card. I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly. She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead. It was a great idea, it was a hit! Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families. She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good! I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think? I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
