Textured Blossoms Valentine by Judy Jackson

Howdy fellow stampers from Judy Jackson.

This lovely Valentine uses the Textured Blossom technique from the SU Companion CD.

It was fun to create a Valentine with this blossom! I used a small enbossing folder for the dark pink hearts near the top of the card, and a different embossing folder for the other layer. a heart button adds to the Valentine feel to this card. The Be My Valentine stamp is from Stampin' Up!

I hope you have created your Valentines and if not perhaps this card will inspire to make some!

Enjoy your day!

ZEN HEARTS

Hello Everyone! This is Chrissy D here! Todays card is showcasing one of my FAVORITE techniques from the latest newsletter, the ZEN STAMPING Tutorial. Not only is there a great tutorial on this, but Pat offers several samples of "Zen" to play with!!!


The stamps are called One Line Valentine and Scattered Hearts from DRS Designs. These are perfect for doing the Zen Stamping Technique! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look! Have a great day!

Cuttlebug Smoosh and Crepe Paper Flowers

Hello Technique Friends!! Kathie McGuire here to share a card I made using the Cuttlebug Smoosh technique from 10/07. My apologies in advance not getting a better picture showing more of the technique (card has already been sent or I would re-take). I covered a lot of it up with the second layer. I thought perhaps the rest of the card may inspire you to go try the technique anyway! Hope so!

The Cuttlebug Smoosh layer started this whole project, so after I had that completed I decided to delve into trying to make a little flower from crepe paper. It's delicate, but ends up being a bit more sturdy than I originally expected. I squished this flower (unintentionally) several times before it actually was given away. Each time, I was able to straighten out the petals and restore its original shape.

I hope you've enjoyed today's card; make it a creative weekend! Thanks for stopping by.

A Kraft Resist Valentine by Judy Jackson

Happy Day to you from Judy Jackson.

I love Valentines and the celebration of love! I also enjoy using and creating different ways to create Valentines for me to send to folks.

This is such a cute stamp from Rogue Redhead to use on a Valentine for a special someone! I used my Copic markers to color the focal image. Other stamp credits include Sweet and Sassy Stamps, Close to My Heart, and Stampin' Up!

The technique is the Kraft Resist technique from the February Technique Junkie newsletter. It is really a great technique and adaptable for lots of focal images!

Have a great day and I hope you are able to have some creative time for yourself!

Burnished Embossing and Butterflies by Judy Jackson

Hello to all of you on this day - from Judy Jackson. I hope it is a sunny day wherever you live! I wanted to create a little "sunshine" for myself with this card. I embossed the fancy swirl (Stampin' UP!) with silver Pearl embossing powder. Then I used the Burnished Embossing technique found on the SU Companion CD.

I stamped and embossed these lovely butterflies and the verse (all from Sweet and Sassy Stamps). I used markers to add color to the butterflies. Then I popped them up with pop dots.

I can hardly wait for long sunny summer days and butterflies in my garden!

Have a great day!

Burnished Love

Hey, Junkies!  Ann Clack here!  Here is a Burnished Embossing (from the new Stampin' Companion CD) Valentine.  I recently something on one of the blogs I follow about a fold over flap card that was cut with their Silhouette.  I really wanted that cut file but alas, only in Silhouette form.  So......I thought I'd make my own.  Here is the result.  Enjoy!  Now.......go get the new CD!
