BLOG HOP
This gorgeous "WOW" card is my "All You Need is Love" Blog hop project for the Mediterranean Cruise Achievers hop. This spring, I'll be cruising Italy, France and spending a week in Ireland thanks to this awesome company!! I <3 you Stampin' Up!!! This is a great "all occasion" card design. Perfect for Valentine's Day, or birthdays (as this version was stamped Happy Birthday lol). But would also make a great wedding/anniversary, thank you, or sympathy card. The greatest part is that Rose Wonder stamp set includes words for these occasions and more. It would also make a great Mother's day card. The gold foil Rose Garden thinlit is elegant and classy, the greeting label is also cut from the same die set. The beautiful background paper is from the Sale-a-Bration Perfectly Artistic designer paper (only available until Feb. 15).

BLOG HOP & VIDEO: Watercolor Wash Sunburst Wow
January 23, 2016 by
PROJECT
I wanted to go "outside the traditional box" for my Valentine's Day blog hop project. This awesome Sunburst card is a real "Wow", I have a video below to show you how to make it. The Stampin Up Going Global stamp set is a perfect fit, and it makes a cool masculine card. I have teenage boys, so I like designing cards the are suitable for the "guys". The card design was inspired by Heidi Baks. Her design used the epoxy accent stick ons for the heart. I didn't have these, so I'm going to show you how to make this using Crystal Effects. Part I: My blog hop card is part 1 in a 2 part video series featuring the Watercolor Wash technique. I'll be sharing part 2, another cool Watercolor Wash idea on Wednesday's video.CARD: Much Appreciated – Helping Me Grow Card

Cute Conversations is the name of the January 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin Up. The stamp set that came in the kit reminded me of the candy "conversation" hearts, and that's what I used for inspiration for these alternate card ideas. They are kind of like big giant candy heart cards. There's a little something for everyone in this kit. So you can spread the love, whether you have a Valentine, or not. Some of the techniques I'm going to share in today's video are how to make this cool gold splatter effect, heat embossing, background texture and sponging.CARD: You’re Amazing from December Paper Pumpkin kit
