Love Words 2 cards same stamp

Hello!

I'd like to share a couple cards with you today.

I used

"Love Words" (#15717) from QKR Stampede

and heat embossed this lovely image onto white card stock.

With both cards I used Distress Ink

(Worn Lipstick above, Tattered Rose and Antique Linen below)

over the entire piece of card stock.

The embossed area resists the ink. 

Above I simply added a bit of ribbon for embellishment.

On this card I used some craft tape from

Recollections at the top

and a button from my stash at the bottom to finish off my card.

This is the first bit of craft tape I've used and I'm really loving that stuff!

You'll be seeing more of it on my cards in the future.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have gotten some inspiration from my cards. 

Leave a comment if you will and let me know which card you like better.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

QKR Stampede January Blog Hop

Welcome to the January Blog Hop for QKR Stampede!

This is the first hop with our new design team.

If you have hopped in from
Jessica's blog
you are on the right track. 
If you have just happened upon the hop, you may want to go to the beginning at the QKR Stampede Blog

where you will find a list of all the participants.  If you get 'lost' along the way or one of the links isn't working you can hop back there to get on track.

For my card I used "Love Words" (#15717) from QKR Stampede.

I stamped the image onto white card stock with red Distress Ink, and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. You can see the shine that the embossing gives the image.

I layered the image onto red card stock and wrapped some "baker's twine" that I made, around it.  Then adhered it all to a white card base.

I decided to make this a vertical card that opens at the top with a flap that holds the card closed.  The flap was punched with an EK Success border punch and holds the card closed by tucking behind the front panel.

The white layer inside was punched with a Fiskars border punch.

Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment if you wish.

Then hop on to 

Molly's blog

and see what she has to inspire you.

Be sure to pop into the QKR Stampede shop and see all the fabulous image they have for you to create with.  Valentines Day is coming soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Eureka! Stamps Blog Hop

 Hello and welcome to the January Blog Hop for Eureka! Stamps.

This is the first blog hop with the new design team and although some of us are old friends, there are some new people who will, I'm sure, give us all some great inspiration.

If you have just stumbled into my post, please start at the beginning at the Eureka! Stamps blog page.  You won't want to miss any of the wonderful projects our team has to show you.  If you get lost along the way, just hop back to the beginning where you will find links to all the blogs.

If you have come from Roxie's Blog you are on the right track.

This month our theme is Valentines/love. If you haven't started making your Valentine cards, you will want to get started when you see all the great ideas and the wonderful stamps from Eureka! Stamps.

For my card I have used a variety of images.

I stamped Heart Background (#57901) and Cascading Hearts (#14707) onto white card stock and layered them onto red card stock.  These were adhered to a white card base, the Cascading Hearts was adhered with foam tape to give a bit of dimension that really doesn't show in the picture. Sorry!

The "I Love You" is a portion of "Love Words" (#15717) from sister company QKR Stampede.

I masked off the areas of the stamp that I didn't need with post it notes, inked up the section I wanted and used my Stampamajig to get the proper placement of the sentiment.

I hope you will hop on into the Eureka! Stamps store and see what images you want to use for your cards and project. 

Now hop on over to

Ceal's Blog
