A Delightful Heart Day Card with Samantha!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Hey everyone, Samantha here wishing you a very happy Valentine’s Day! I have created a sweet little Valentine’s scene inspired by the current Lots of Love challenge! I love the washy rainbow color palette and the casual hearts on the inspiration board. Rainbow colors are always fun to work with and they bring such a fresh look to your project.

The sweet little ducks from the Rub-A-Dub-Dub stamp set are so expressive and adorable. The ducks are having fun dancing under the raining hearts. The tiny umbrella from the Elphie Selfie stamp set is scaled perfectly for the ducks. I stamped the pond from the Dad + Me stamp set in the Fresh Lavender ink. I colored shadows on top of the ink with my Copic makers. I love to color on top of colored ink, because it is a quick and easy way to add depth to a flatter stamped image. I added rainbow color in the umbrellas and the Rain or Shine Before ‘n Afters rainbow!

The Just Stitching Hearts die cuts are so amazing for backgrounds. You can layer the different hearts together for an interesting look. They add a fun tonal element behind your scene.

You still have time to enter the Lots of Love challenge! The challenge is open until Sunday, February 16th 11:59 Eastern Time. Please check out the challenge for tons of inspiration.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have the a wonderful day!

Franci’s Love Themed Mini Notebooks!

Franci used our Perfectly Pink Mini Notebooks to make sweet Valentine gifts for our Lots of Love challenge!

Franci used Love You Tons and Wheelie Like You, two love-themed mini sets to decorate a panel to add to each of the mini notebooks in the pack. This is such a clever idea for a Valentine card and gift in one!

Thank you so much for sharing this clever idea with us today, Franci!

Our Lots of Love challenge continues through this Sunday, February 16th at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait you see your creative take on the inspiration image and theme!

Lots of Love Inspiration with our Guest Designer Janneke!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Janneke has a pair of charming interactive pull tab cards to inspire your Lots of Love challenge crafting!

For the first card, Janneke created a happy scene using the Bugs and Kisses set! She used Let’s Toast Pull Tab Add-On to make the interactive mechanism! She filled out the scene with grassy hills from the Mushroom Border die set, then added the sentiment from Wavy Sayings on a Fancy Wavy Banner! Such a fun card!

Janneke describes how she made it look like the little bug was inside the jar. “I have stamped the jar and cut out the inside. Then I die cut the jar out from an acetate sheet and glued the jar stamp on it. With the pull tab, the bug escapes from the jar and goes to the other bug.” Such a clever idea!

For her second card, Janneke combined Bicycle Built for You with Screen Time to make the cute couple. The box is from Holiday Helpers and the heart “balloons” are from Bugs and Kisses! The sentiment is stamped on a banner from Bannertastic!

I love this sweet interactive card and how Janneke made it look like the heart balloons are flying out the box! She used the video game wires from Screen Time as the balloon tails! That is such a clever idea!

Thank you so much, Janneke! We have loved sharing your amazing creativity!

You have another week to join our Lots of Love challenge. It will be open until Sunday, February 16th.
