MIM: glitter trim #2

A lunch box note -

Supplies; Stamps - BB: hearts, Little bitty bird (sentiment), Paper - SU PP and ?coral, Other - Heart border die, glitter.

Scalloped mat (and more purple)

I saw someone use the Mat stack die to echo one of the large scallops, so wanted to try it. 

I was also trying to find images that fit onto Mat stack 2 die as I don't have the stamp set (yet).  The little 'x' from BB: Retro did the trick.  The inside was dotted with a white gel pen.  I coloured in the hearts with a violet copic.  V01 maybe?

Supplies; Stamps - BB: Retro, BB: Hearts, Fillable frames #1 (sentiment), Paper - Plum pudding, Lavender moon, cream, Other - Large scallop die, Mat stack 2 die, Milled lavender distress ink, versamark pad, white gel pen, copics, brown satin ribbon.

PTI blog hop - embroidery floss

Papertrey Ink's blog hop theme this month is to use embroidery floss.  I haven't tried this before, so I looked forward to the challenge! 

The floss was weaved (just by hand) through the holes of the die, then tied. I looped it around and then used a smidgen of hot glue to fix it into place. I was hoping to have the new Tiny tags dies/stamps by now, so just image a little tag dangling from the floss.

The card evolved over awhile actually - I had gotten the heart and musicsheet background stamps a few months ago, and had stamped a bunch of paper with them in anticipation of using later.  Then I got the Parisian lace doily die with the February release, and decided I wanted to see it in hot pink, and so the rest of the card all sort of fell together from there.

The leaves were stamped with grey, the flower punched out of patterned paper, and the circle mat is also stamped with a delicate background stamp (envelope pattern).

Enjoy the rest of the hop - I know I will!

Supplies; Stamps - BB: Music Sheet, BB: Hearts, Envelope Pattern, Turning a New Leaf, Delightful dahlia (sentiment), Paper - Lemon tart, Raspberry fizz, cream, Bittersweet PP (Basic grey), Other - Parisian lace doily die, Limitless labels 1 3/4'' circle dies, Boho blooms flower punch (SU), cream embroidery floss.

Kiddie Valentines

For my daughter's friends;

I had some mini pink envelopes (2.5'' square) from Michael's, so I decided to make Valentines that fit inside.  Nothing too time consuming, as they might not make it home.  :)

The heart image was my favourite from the 2010 Love Tags collection, and someone on the forum wanted to sell it, so lucky for me!  I stamped it in red on white cardstock and snipped out quickly.  The frame is a part of Fillable frame 6.  A little sparkle over the top of the 'i' in mine.

Supplies;  Stamps - BB: hearts, Valentines tags, Paper - Raspberry fizz, Hibiscus burst, white, Ink - Real red, black, Other - fillable frame #6 die, silver glitter glue.
