Queen of Hearts - Valentine Banner

Welcome to the Queen of Hearts Event! Here is my creation!

How exciting another Queen of Hearts Blog Hop.....here is a "Love Banner" using Quietfire Designs Calligraphic Love Bites and This Hearts Longing for You 

 

 

 







For my project, I used Spellbinders Scalloped Pennant, Lacey Hearts and Want2Scrap Nestaboard Pennant and Nestabling Pennant along with May Arts red ribbon. To hold it all together I used Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry! To add an aged distressed look I took DecoArts Warm White paint and brushed it on the pennant. My letters are also Want2Scrap Chubba Bubba Chipboard letters painted with the Warm White paint. I thought this pennant looked perfect with the  Quietfire Designs Calligraphic Love Bites and This Hearts Longing for You don't you?

Butterfly Circles

Well hello there! Terre here with a fun and flirty card! This card was created using Butterfly Circles May the Wings Stamp set from Quietfire Designs. For my paper line today I chose to use My Mind's Eye "indie chic" paper, the blue satin ribbon is from May Arts, the beautiful bling swirls are from Want2Scrap and the die templates are Le Papillion Two and Floral Ovals from Spellbinders.

I air brushed the die template then stamped my Butterfly Circles May the Wings sentiment, it added just enough pop of color.

DIY Craft ideas – button craft blog hop

 Hello and thank you for stopping by my blog today for the Crafty Ideas Blog Hop!

For my project I chose to use Button Galore's Black, Grey, White mix of buttons, I thought it fit right along with either a wedding card or even an anniversary card. I stamped JustRite Paper Crafts Elegant Damask Background stamp, added a strip of May Arts Ribbon, tied some baker twine through my Black, Grey and White buttons and topped it off with some Want2Scrap Le Creme Baby Pearls.



My sentiment is a hand trimmed piece from Elle's Studio, just perfect for this card don't you think?

You have a chance to win a Viewtainer filled with an assortment buttons and 45 feet of ribbon. (picture below)

Before I show you what I have created, I want to show you the 2012 Christmas Stamps from Quietfire:

So are you ready for some creativity? I have created two projects to share with you so for my first one I used Christmas Waves A Magic Wand



I just love all the rich colors you find at Christmas, you can see from this card I have used a rich Christmas Red to create my S5-055 Layered Poinsettia and the leaves are done using a blueish green, reminds me of the Blue Spruce trees from back home in Colorado. I also love stamping on Kraft cardstock and inking the edges, perfect for your Christmas sentiment.

Here is a close up just to show off that amazing Christmas sentiment!

 

Are you ready for my second creation? Ok here it is!

For this tag I used Christmas Cuddlers Word Set, I used the word Snowflakes, I hand trimmed the word flake from a yard sale find dictionary and added some snowflake bling from Want2Scrap along with the Fa la la collection of Christmas paper from Lawn Fawn, can you say cute, cute, cute. This will just be perfect on someone's Christmas present!

Here is a close up so you can see all of the beautiful swirls in the word Snowflakes!

 

Hope you have enjoyed what I have created and don't forget to leave a comment we will be giving away free stamps on each of our blogs. Good luck! Crafty Smiles Terre

Little Darlings

Here is a card I created using Spellbinders Labels Eleven die template, Want2Scraps Labels Eleven Nestaboard and Nestabling and one of my favorite paper lines from Graphic 45, Little Darlings.

I hand trimmed the little pictures and glued them to straight pins using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry, they just fit perfect in the corner. Inked the edges of the paper with Clearsnaps Fluid Chalk Chestnut Roan.

Added some paper roses and some Want2Scrap Pearl Swirl  to the corner and there you have it, the perfect little card. Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you come back soon for more inspiration. Crafty Smiles, Terre
