Hi all! Kristina here! The holiday season has passed and were heading right into Valentine’s Day and love cards! For my first card of the year, I created a clean and simple design using the new Faux Mini Envelope die. This little die really packs a punch when you create multiple envelopes!

I cut six envelopes out using the Faux Mini Envelope die, each in a different color of cardstock: Lipstick Red, Doll Pink, Cotton Candy, Lemon Chiffon, Surf Blue, and Lavender. Then I used the Slimline Patterns stencil set from CZ Design to add some patterns onto three of the envelopes. The others I kept plain.

For all of the ink blending, I used a slightly dark ink than the cardstock color. In the same relative order, I used Sangria, Taffy, Peony, Sunbeam, Surf, and Iris.

The card was finished off with a greeting from the My Love Greetings stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there! I hope everyone had wonderful holidays!  It’s a new year and I’m thrilled to be sharing more spring cards.  Today’s card uses the Mom’s Spring Flowers set.  It’s an older set, but she’s a beauty!

I stamped my image in black and colored with Copic markers.

• Flowers:  R81, R83, R85, R56
• Flower Centers:  Y11, Y15, YR24
• Foliage:  G40, YG06, YG09, G17

WATCH THE VIDEO:

Coloring can take your time, but if you’re patient, it will be worth it!  After coloring, I die-cut it and splattered it with white paint.

For the background, I ink-blended with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink.  Next, I adhered the image with 3D Foam Squares and matted the panel over Fog cardstock.

To finish my card, I added a sentiment from the Thinking of You Sentiment Strips and added some glitter using Nuvo Glitter Drops in Gold Coast.  I hope you like it!! Thanks so much for joining me today!  ~Caly
