Hi, welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Deco Divas - Love is in the Air Blog Hop! I f you hopped here by way of Dawn's wonderful blog, then you are in the right place! Otherwise, you might want to start from the beginning at the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog, to become eligible for the four great prizes.
Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I chose stamps from the Heart's & Flowers set 306 and made two Valentines. On my first card I used the Crossed Hearts stamp to make a vintage Valentine card. Over this stamp I used dimensional glue and sprinkled Starfire glitter in it to add shimmer and shine.
On my second card I used the same stamp along with the vases in the set and made a more traditional Valentine card. I made a lacy layer by using a border punch.

Thanks for your kind comment, Donna! I make my bows by folding the ribbon back and forth a few times and then tying the folds tightly together with a smaller piece of the ribbon.

Both of your cards are lovely. The lacy look to the second is wonderful. I particularly like the rose background on the first.
ReplyDeleteI like your background hearts & the stamps inside
ReplyDeleteMy favorite element is the border punch that you used on the second card which really st off the center stamping. Very distinctive and pretty.
