Valentines series project #3

Hi all!! I'm just in project mode the last 2 weeks and it's great!  I got my paper trey ink dies in and couldn't wait to use them! Today I used their coffee cozy die.  I wish I knew about these little dies before Xmas.  It's ok I'll make them for later this year then!  Coffee cozies for everyone!   Hehe.  I made these out of felt and sewed them together.  It was quick and easy.  I wanted to go valentines theme since the holiday is around the corner.  I thought the mustache die from time holtz would be good for a slight twist on valentines too.  

Valentines series project #2

I'm so excited to get my paper trey ink dies in!  I don't have a daughter but I have many friends and family that does!  It was a no brainer that I get the boutique accessories dies.  I think they are the cutest thing in the world and I can't wait to make them for every season and every holiday.  Perfect for gift giving!  Felt is so much fun to use and cheap to buy.  

I made these for my nieces.  It's perfect for valentines and spring time.  

 

Valentines series project #1

I found these 1 dollar metal mailboxes at target so I thought it would be fun to alter.  I went shabby chic on it and I love it!  I painted the mailbox with gesso, then dried it.  Second coat was a tan acrylic paint and third coat was an off white acrylic paint color.  After it was dry I rubbed some vintage photo distress ink on it.  Then I used modeling paste to give it some texture.  I dried it with my heating tool then used distress stain on it to give it more rustic color.  I sprayed some lindys stamp gang sprays on it and let the colors run and melt down the box.  

Valentines card #3

This card was short and sweet to make.  I used inkadinkado valentines stamp for the birds and the alley way stamp for the woodgrain background.  I just adore the hearts in the wood grain!  Most other wood grain stamps are so boring, this one has love written all over it! : ) 

Valentines card #2

I thought this greeting farm stamp would be perfect for a Valentines card. Lol 

Felt flowers

Why are these so much fun to make???  I'm on a felt flower making trip!  I pulled out my Sizzix 3-d flower die.  I ordered some paper trey ink dies but they aren't here yet so I decided to use my sizzix die.  I can't believe I didn't make these sooner.  They're adorable!!  So easy and cute.  I used my tweezers to roll the felt and hot glue gun to glue it all together.  I can't wait to make some more when I get my pti dies in!! 

Valentines day cards series

I'll be making valentines cards this year.  I never make valentines cards but for some reason I got in the spirit for this new 2014!  I hope you enjoy the series.  I'm trying to use the same stamps as much as I can this year and my dies as much as possible to get some good use out of them. 

My first card is this sweet tiddly inks stamp.  I saw Kristina Werner watercolor it and I thought it was so sweet!  I used my distress markers on them instead of the inktense pencils like her.  I also incorporated the new heart balloons in on this.  They are from the simon says stamp valentines stamp set for this year.  The faux water colored paper I used in the background fit perfect for this card.
