Oodles of Love at FM196

Good morning its Friday, Friday, Friday!  Don't you just love saying that word?!  Any who, today I'm over at The Friday Mashup and Holly has come up with a lovely color palette of red, pink and white or to mash it up, add a theme of Love.  I hope you will get inspired and come join us!

 

 

So for my card, I decided to keep it nice and simple.  I started with a base of very vanilla and a single layer of the same.  I look a piece of vanilla cardstock and water colored it with sahara sand using my aqua painter.  I then stamped the hardwood stamp in sahara sand as well.  I tore the edged and sponged in blushing bride.  I added two stamped hearts from the Snuggles and Smooches stamp set on blushing bride and rose red cardstock.  I even added a snipped and folded piece of chevron ribbon tucked under the one heart.  I finished it off with a stamped "oodles of love" sentiment a couple candy dots.

Stamp Set Focus with SSINK

 

Today is stamp set focus over at SSINK and the designers are putting their focus on Snuggles and Smooches stamp set.  This is such a fun a cute stamp set and holds a big pack of punch for creating a simple card to an all out decked out card.

 

I did some heat embossing with my project card.  I first stamped with versa mark the smaller circle design and covered it in white powder and heated it up.  I did this three times.  I then took my ink pads in wisteria wonder, sahara sand and crisp cantaloupe with my aqua painters and did some fun water coloring.  The "love" is just stamped in crisp cantaloupe on a white banner layer. 

 

Now its hard to see in the photo and I'm sorry, that I inked up my zig zag embossing folder with some vera mark ink and did some heat embossing again in just a small area for a subtle background.

Waste Not Want Not with SSINK

 

Good morning!  Today over at SSINKspiration our designers were put to the test to use things laying around our desk and create something with.  Well, I defiantly have things laying around I've been meaning to use I swear!  My dad always taught me to not waste things.  Rather it be paper or the food on my plate.  So this challenge for us came at the perfect time.

 

Here is my work space showing my scraps laying around, just waiting to be used.  YES even I have little piles laying around on my desk...a neat pile but a pile in the least LOL!!

 

 

And here is what I created out of my pile....

 

 So I was able to create a treat bag as well as a card.  WOW, didn't realize I had that much in the pile!  I was playing around with embossing velum the other day for the treat bag and changed my mind but thru it in the "for later pile".  I also had this heart embossed card layer in calypso coral in that same pile.  The scrap strips with the stacked with love DSP was perfect to pull it all together. 

 

I had a circle shape in the black with dots and cut the heart out for my card then used the left over piece to create a heart shaped shaker to attach to my treat bag below.  I had a short length of black bakers twine that worked perfectly for my hanging heart.

 

 

I had this tied up black chevron ribbon actually sitting on my desk for months and couldn't find anything that I wanted to use it for, but wouldn't dare throw it away( Big NO NO!!)  Glad I didn't cause I added a couple glue dots and added it to the front of treat bag.
