"Love" Valentine Card


Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a Valentine's card that I created for my dear husband.  The background has been dry embossed, the butterflies have been treated with Wink of Stella glitter pen so they sparkle in real life.  The Prima frame has been touched with vintage photo distress ink,  and the love chippie has been wet embossed.  That's all for this post, thanks so much for dropping by and having a peek! ~ Dawna

Valentine Tag and Gatefold Shutter Card with Belly Band

 


Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a oversized Valentine Tag and Shutter Card that I created for my friend Peggy G., in a swap we were recently partnered in.  I really loved the way the tag came out, especially the frame.  I sprayed it with Prima Color Bloom Peony spray, then used a white paint pen to highlight all the embossing.  The vintage cherub is from ReneaBoquetes.com and it's just perfect for a Valentines project.  Here's a close up of a few details:


I also made the flowers with Sizzix foam.  It's the first time I've use it and it was a lot of fun!  The flowers come out feeling so real to the touch and the roses on the Shutter Card are especially pretty.  The card is a standard gatefold with belly band, however, when you begin to open it, the "shutters" which conceal the sentiment open up to reveal your message. The dies for the shutter mechanism are from Anna Griffin.   I hope you enjoy this card, it was so fun to make!  

                                                   


That's all for this post.  I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's Day! ~ Dawna

Jane Austin Mini Album


Happy New Year Friends! Today I'm sharing this double gatefold mini album I created using Blue Fern Studio's Jane Austin collection.  I made this for my partner, Laura, in this years Secret Santa Swap at sb.com. I kept the pages very simple with just embossed kraft die cuts for photo mats.  Laura loved it and assured me she had some lovely photos of women in her life that have been positive role models for her, Let's have a closer look:
