Valentine's Greeting Card

Happy Valentine's from Practical Scrappers. Today we're sharing the love with a lovely bunch of Valentine's Day inspired projects. Are you feeling the love yet?! I crack myself up sometimes. 

I doubled up and also created this card for a make and take at my LSS, Soul Sentiments. As a family we don't do much for the "Hallmark" holidays so it was really a struggle for me to embrace the pinks and reds but I'm really happy with how cute it turned out in the end. 

This card will be a featured Make and Take on Feb. 1. Contact the store for questions.

Valentine's Swing Card - PGCB Love Your Love

For the Paper Girls Challenge Blog's newest challenge, Becci is asking us to "Love Your Love" and create something love themed. I made this little swing card for my valentine. 

It is also the third installment of the Card Club at Soul Sentiments. Uh, sooooo cute and easy! I can't wait to play around with the technique now and do some shaped swings. 

We chose some Bella! Christmas papers (the whole pack was just red and white) and then set to work. The kraft paper is from MME Kraft Funday and was glued to both sides of the swing. I made a custom sentiment on the Cameo for all students, and then pasted it down with Glossy Accents because it was so fragile I was worried about it falling off!

Everything is inked with Stazon Black and I did some simple embellishing with my iRock.

This class will be on February 9 at 1:30 pm., call the store with questions or to sign up.

More exciting fun in my life - I'm a Paper Girl!

I'm pleased to announce that I'm now a part of the Paper Girls Challenge Blog. I've had so much fun in the year plus that they've been running their challenges that when I got asked to be part of the team I hardly hesitated.

For my first challenge with blog we're asking you to make your own stamp and link it back up on the blog.

I made a couple of cards using the bottom of an Elmer's Glue bottle as a stamp. After the first impression I realized that the shape resembled an eye and when the sentiment exactly fit in the space I knew it was meant to be!

Here's the other one, I like that the bottle made a really cool background stamp but also works as a frame all on it's own.
