To Love and Be Loved and Purge Hop Winner's Day!

I have  a quick sort of shabby chic card to share today. I am using Verve's Feel the Sun, Tag Time, Text Object, and the newly released Wings of Love sets.  I also used Wavy Hearts and Rectangle Tag dies.  I combined the images with some Authentique Uncommon designer papers.  I outlined the wings with a Sakura gel pen for some added sparkle.  I added a fun postage stamp edge using Spellbinder's Book Pages 2.  I finished with a few tiny silver pearls and a soft gray seam binding bow ties around my double layered rectangle tags.

LOVE, Shining the Light and MORE!

Happy Sunday!  I have a card to share today using one of ODBD January release sets called God's Love.  I am playing along with ODBD Shining the Light Love Recipe Challenge. to make a card using the word LOVE, a heart or both along iwth the colors red and white, pink and white, or red, white, and pink.  I think I accomplished them all.  I combined the scripture with the ornate LOVE with some Echo Parks Truly Yours designer papers.   I slightly inked distressed the edges.  I used the stamp a ma jig to perfectly place the scripture on the top portion of the circle die.  I layered my scripture with the Spellbinder's Heart Circles die.   I finished with a seam binding bow and a little circle tag with a cut out heart.  

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Viva La Verve CAS I LOVE YOU!

WooHoo!  It is the weekend and I have a card to share!  For years Verve has been bringing you Viva La Verve sketch challenges every Friday. However, this year the last Friday of the month comes with a Viva La Verve Twist.  We are rockin' a CAS sketch!  Shannan is the host this week for VLV For a girl who LOVES to layering on, this one definitely brings on the challenge for me.   Who does not love a little challenge and a toss out of their comfort zone from time to time, though.  

For my card I actually used a piece of white card stock and did not distress or ink a think.  That's right.  NO stamps on this baby.  I used Verve Cut Above Dies and my handy Scor- Pal.   

I am using Verve's Cut Above Wavy Hearts Die set and I Heart U die set. I layered the I and the U with some Echo Park designer paper and a shadow of the same letters in black slightly showing from underneath. I die cut the larger of the Wavy Hearts die out with some red glitter cardstock. I scored my horizontal A2 fold and scored the horizontal border in keeping with the sketch with the score-pal.   I really wanted to add more, but did not. That was the hard part!

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

 For my card I am using ODBD Kind Hearts single sentiment image.  I am using the border image from Porch and the Vintage Border die.   I stamped the Butterfly Single and die cut it out with the Butterfly die.  I lightly colored it with copics and added some Sakura gel pen for a touch of sparkle.  I layered the sentiment with the Spellbinder's Lattice Rectangle die  to show how beautifully custom dies work with Spellbinders.  I also used ODBD Vintage Border Embossing Plate for some added texture.  I finished with some pearls and seam binding bow.
