Love you so much!

 Hello Friends,


Today I am sharing this card I made with the adorable Pink and Main Love Letters stamp and die set.  I just love the animals clinging to the letters!



Ingredients:

White card stock
Red paper
Pink and Red paper
Nesting die
Neenah Solar White paper
Black ink
Copic markers

For this A2 card I started by making the card base with White card stock.  I took a piece of Red paper and add that to the card base.  I took an old Nesting die of mine and cut out the Pink and Red paper and added that to the card.  I took a piece of Neenah Solar White paper, the Love Letters stamp set and some Black ink and stamped that onto the paper.  I colored in the image with Copic markers and than I used the Love Lertters die to cut out the image and I added that to the card.  I took the sentiment, Black ink and stamped that on some left over white paper and I used the matching die to cut it out and I added it to the card.


I am entering this card into the Pink and Main Monthly Card Challenge #2:  Love Is In the Air

Woodblock Wednesday for January 2025 Edition

 Hello Friends,


I have been wanting to participate in Amy Tsuruta's Woodblock Wednesday Challenge for awhile now and I am finally getting around to it!  I have loads of Woodblock stamps and I just have them in a closet and I forget about them.



Here is my card for Woodblock Wednesday for January:



I used a Hero Arts Butterfly stamp and a Stampin' Up Thanks stamp to make my card.  I also used Spellbinders Floral embossing folder on my card and a Scalloped Rectangle die.


Now it is your turn to dig out your old wood mounted stamps and create something for Woodblock Wednesday!


Thanks for stopping by!
