I have you in my heart

Just got to love those adorable Magnolia stamps. My fondness for them has grown over the past year and I have bought a few more. What I like is that they are so cute and one image lends itself for multiple occasions.
I have made another Valentine card with Tilda holding a heart.

The image is painted with Cosmic shimmer paint. The branch swirls are a stamp from a collection by Making Memories. The flowers are from Magnolia and sprayed in Cherry blossom pink Glimmer Mist. Little pearl pen dots decorate the image.

The edges of the image are distressed with Antique Linen crackle paint and the corrugated card has the Picket Fence version.

I used October afternoon paper and stamped the ledger paper with  LOVE YOU. This is a gadget stamp from the sweet brand that makes these love sweets. I found the stamp at Waterstones'.
The sentiment stamp is one by Hero Arts and stamped in red Memento Ink.
This card is for the Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love challenge .

You're my sweetie pie

Another Valentine card for today with a very simple design.
I used an Inkadinkado stamp and kept the colours to brown and blue. The blue images are stamped on ledger paper from October Afternoon Let's fly a kite. The brown spotted paper is also from the same pad.
The ribbon is from American Crafts.

The squares are just punched with Woodware punches. The blue star paper is from another paper collection by Jillibean Soup.

I don't make many of these clean & simple cards, because I like to fluff things up. Gives me a break from my daily routine where work keeps me strict and in line. I love to see the work of other card makers who do keep it to simple straight lines, but for me this is quite hard to do.

Get ready for Valentine

Hi,
I am back after a while. Where does the time go? I find it harder to keep up with my posts. Having moved my laptop away from my craft desk, hasn't helped.
I spend less time on the internet, although I still browse but use my I pod. It is a very small screen, so I try to keep my online time to a minimum.
Here is my card for today. With Valentine on the way, it had to be with red and a heart.

 A lovely Magnolia stamp with Tilda holding a heart, colored with Polychromos pencils and Sansodor. The sentiment stamp is from Kaisercraft. Pretty velvet Petaloo flowers with white Prima flowers and Marianne Design leaf. Cute little button brads pop through the holes of this Martha Stewart border.

Gorgeous Websters Pages paper form a 6x6 mixed pack.

The ribbon is from Dille and Kamille, which I bought on our last trip to Belgium in the city of Brugge.

To be loved by you is a blessing

Isn't this the most wonderful saying?
And now with Valentine coming soon, it would be very useful. It is from a set from TPC Studio found in my lovely New Forest craft shop.

Frame cut with the Storybook cartridge, flowers with Accent Essentials. As you can tell, a lot of Glimmer Mist was used. Courtesy of my sweet mother sending me another lovely parcel.
Stamps: Penny Black, TPC Studio and American Crafts border stamp.

DP: Coordinations cardstock black -but I used the blue reverse-, MM Ledger Paper. My stamped image is coloured with pencils.
