FINDING LOVE IS A GREAT THING

Good morning stampers! Ugggghhh.....it's raining again so my poor sinuses are hurting and I look like a raccoon lol. Good day to stay in and stamp though which is exactly what I am going to do. I suppose I should clean the house too.......nah.....lol.......stamping is much more fun LOL!  So, I am sharing another Valentine or anniversary type card or just an "I love you" card, which is what I am using it for :-) I chose black and pink as my main colors, I just love how they go together. It is a square card again (I have to make my envies but then they match lol) with a black card stock base that is topped with Melon Mambo card stock.  Then I used Modern Medley Designer series paper and embossed it with the argyle embossing folder.

Here is a close-up so you can see how great it looks when you do this on your designer paper. I love this look and I use it a lot to add texture to my cards and my layouts. I then used two thinlets from the labels collection and cut one from black card stock and the other from Very Vanilla cardstock, which is where I stamped my sentiment from the Follow My Heart stamp set.....loooovvvvveeee it!!! What I love about the thinlets is there are so many sizes to choose from that there there are endless possibilities that you can do with them. I use them almost every time I make something, especially when I am scrapbooking. The sentiment is really sweet, I like it a lot - and it is stamped using Melon Mambo ink. I also inked the edges of the card stock to make it stand out. I added some bling in the form of basic jewels because let's face it, a girl's gotta have bling lol. I made the tag using our new really cool punch called the Scalloped Tag Topper, which is available in the Occasions Mini. It's two inches wide, but I have been playing with it and found you can make them even smaller if you want to, which I find is really fun to layer them. This one I made using Pink Pirouette card stock then stamped the Eiffel tower from the Follow My Heart Stamp Set  in black ink. And, I added a little more bling :-)  I stamped the  natural trim ribbon using one of the images from the same stamp set in Melon Mambo ink. I also sponged the edges of the tag with the same color ink. Lastly, I added some beautiful Victorian Lace ribbon, which in my opinion makes the card. I just love this ribbon, they better not ever take it away from me lol. So, that's it, another card for the love of my life! I had fun with this and plan on making some more with this stamp set today because it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. If you like any of the products shown here, you can order them in my online store or contact me, I would be happy to help you place an order or answer any questions you may have. I hope you all have a wonderful day, I plan on staying dry in my stamp room! XOXOXOXO
