Hinged Die Cut Love Card

Happy Sunday Y'all!

I spent my morning with my coffee, Jennifer McGuire and Kat Scrappiness.

What a nice morning!

Whenever I watch a Jennifer McGuire video with a technique I love

I can't stop thinking about it until I try it out.

This morning was the perfect time so I poured my java, turned on YouTube

and broke out my Kat Scrappiness stamps and dies.

Kat's new release was the perfect recipe for this hinged die cut card!

The heart panel on the front is on hinges and it opens up to reveal a secret message.

The hinges are made from 2 thin strips of acetate and they are sandwiched

in between the 2 hearts. Such a cool technique!

How stinkin' cute is that? I just love having that extra surprise on the front of the card.

The card opens up as usual so you can put a handwritten message on the inside

as well and decorate even more.

If you're interested in how to re-create a card like this you'll want to 

head over to You-Tube and watch Jennifer's video.

Hinged Die Cut Greeting

The gorgeous heart on the front of the card was made from one of the

new releases over at Kat Scrappiness.

It's called Lacy Layered Heart and before I die cut it out

I blended 3 different colors of distress ink on some Bristol smooth cardstock.

Broken China

Picked Raspberry

and

Twisted Citron

I wanted a shiny sentiment on the heart to really make the rainbow 

stand out so I cut out the word Love from silver foil card stock.

That die is from the 

I Love You Shadow Dies which was also just released 

at Kat Scrappiness this month.

The sentiment inside the heart panel is from the stamp set

Say It With Hearts and it is also available now.

That stamp set is so cute and you can re-create the cute

conversation hearts on your cards for Valentine's Day!

The cute little stamped hearts on the front of the card panel is from a 

Paper Sweeties stamp set called Sent From My Heart.

I just love how this card came out and I enjoyed making it!

Thanks Jennifer for all the inspiration throughout the year!

I am also entering this card into the Monday and Wednesday 

Simon Says Stamp challenges.

The Monday challenge is to use something new.

All of the products used on this card are from the new release

and the technique I used is from a recent video I just learned.

The Wednesday challenge is to make a matching envelope 

and I copied the heart and sentiment on my matching envelope here.

Winnie and Walter January color combo challenge

Today I am playing along with Winnie and Walter's January color combo challenge. 

My card is different shades of pink with a pop of gold in the cat's collar.

I made another card using the inside out technique that Jennifer McGuire showcased recently.  I am seriously in love with this style and I thought I'd make a Valentine's Day card with a cute Jane's Doodles stamp set I just got called "Cats".  I had tons of fun copic coloring those precious kitties!  The sentiment on the front of the card is from Winnie and Walter's "The Big, the Bold, and the Happy" set.  I pieced two stamps together to get the word "hey".  I am in love with the font from that set!  I also added a few delicate sequins from Kat Scrappiness for some bling.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday, I definitely am!

CAS(E) this sketch challenge #254

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today I am playing along with the CAS(E) this sketch challenge #254. 

Here is the sketch for this week.

I needed a focal point for my card and that's where Jennifer comes in.  When I can't sleep at night (which is every night) I sit up in bed watching YouTube videos on card making... isn't that what we all do?  Anyway, one of my favorite card makers is Jennifer McGuire and one of the things that I love about her videos is that they are easy to follow.  She makes you feel like you can do any technique she does.  Sometimes it actually works out, like today for example.  I fell in love with her inside out cards and I had to give it a try this morning.  I am absolutely in love with this card and I can't wait to make some more!  I pulled out an old loved stamp set from Avery Elle called "Furry Friends" and I chose the cute dog that looks like my dog Sophie and did some basic copic coloring.  The cute little dog is on the second layer of the card but he peeks through the front of the card, SO CLEVER!  This was such a fun card to make, not too difficult but with stunning results!  The two pictures show the front and inside of the card.  The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from an older Reverse Confetti stamp set called "Lots To Say".  Here is my card for the challenge, enjoy your weekend and get some crafting time in!

Have a great day!

I already am!
