Spellbinders Club Kits Blog Hop

 Hello, welcome at the SPELLBINDERS CLUBS January Blog Hop 

The Spellbinders design team have created gorgeous projects with the January kits to share with you. Please check each blog on the hop for inspiration.

Hopefully you have found your way to me after checking out Jean Manis blog.

For my card I was inspired by the cute sweethearts candy.

These iconic heart shaped candies are perfect to celebrate Valentine and to use in

combination with the January large die set 

I used this color palette to make my own colored cardstock and cut out all the elements.

I used a slightly darker colored cardstock to offset the die cuts.

On the three larger hearts I printed Valentine sayings.

Finally I've added a bundle of flowers and sprigs beneath the yellow heart.

The gorgeous paper on this card is from lemon craft shop and it's called "beautiful day".
The cute little flowers are also from the lemon craft shop.

The heart is from filigranki. I love this heart. To give it a bit of shine I put rose gold foiling on it.

The love die is from inspired by stamping.

The styrofoam balls are from 14 craft bar, the pink and copper mix.

So Suzy Stamps Swirly hearts

A few DT members of the So Suzy Stamps design team is featuring the same stamp today on their blogs.

The stamp that is featured today is this stunning Swirly hearts stamp.

A great stamp for Valentine's day cards or wedding/anniversary cards.

Here is my creation, I used the distress ink resist technique and another So Suzy stamp: kisses.

It looks like I've used white embossing powder but actually it's clear embossing powder. The white of the paper is shining through.

After I heat set the powder I used several colors of pink/red ink and blended them with a round blending tool.

I've also added some waterdrops and ranger white linen ink spray.

After I die cut the panel I glued it on a dark grey top fold card.

For more examples on how to use this great stamp please visit the following blogs.

Guest DT Card for create a smile

I have the pleasure to be this month guest designer at Create a smile challenge.
The challenge theme for the month of February is "Lovely". Just the perfect theme for the upcoming Valentines day.
For this occasion I've made my first clear shaker card.
I've recently purchased a fuse tool and this was my first project.

The cute piggy and sentiment are from a Create a smile stampset called lovely critters.
I did the coloring with spectrum noir markers.
Inside the shaker I placed a piece of patterned paper and heart shaped sequins.

All the info for the challenge is on the Create a smile blog.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate all your comments very much.

Hugs, Henriette.

Heart shaped nesting dies
