Valentines

Here are two cards I made for Valentines Day. The first one I made for my husband, based on this awesome tutorial by Beates. I basically copied her whole design, just used different papers. Thank you Beates! It was really fun to make. The hardest part was keeping the panels square! The second card I made for my daughter. I hand cut the hearts, used a hearts stamp with white ink on the transparency for the window. I used Spellbinder fleur de lis frame. Turned out really pretty. Hope you have a great day!

Apple Tree

This is a birthday card for my sister in NC. Her kitchen is decorated in Apples, thus the card theme. I used a cuttlebug folder for the clouds

, made the tree trunk and hill free hand. Papers are by Paper Studio. I added stickles here and there. The rosette was a fun element to make. I used Tim Holtz distressed inks to shadow around the tree and hill and then a Copic's marker to outline the cloud. The third picture shows some little earring holders I made for apple earrings I'll be giving to my son's teachers. Thanks for stopping by!
