I LOVE Red & Black!

I recently participated in a swap with some very talented Splitcoast Stampers  making cards from the Occasions Mini Catalog. (You already saw my "Easter Blossoms" design below). These two cards used a stunning color combo I just can't resist! The one on the left (made by ttaves) used the "Valentine Defined" stamp set, with Real Red, Basic Black and Whisper White paper, and embellished with red Glimmer paper and the Framed Tulip embossing folder. The card on the right (made by Britbook70) used "Take a Spin" and "A Word for You" stamps, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla and Love Letter (Designer Paper). She embossed the DP with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and added the Game Spinner hands and Basic Blac Taffeta Ribbon as accents! Fabulous job Ladies!!!



Valentine Card

We made this card at my most recent class! I LOVE the Love Impressions designer paper! (The sheet we used has no embossing on it but the other patterns in the collection did, and they are fabulous! I'll be using them for scrap book pages in the future, no doubt.)
Card stock used is Pink Pirouette (for the base), 5 1/4" x 4" Basic Grey, 5" x 3 3/4" Love Impressions designer paper, 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" Pink Pirouette,and lastly, 2" x 3 " Whisper White. I faked the big bow by just puttin down one strip and tying a not out of a seperate piece of 1" wide Pink Pirouette grosgrain- I attached it with a glue dot. The image is stamped in Basic Black using the Love You Much set then colored with markers. The V then got a dose of red glitter. Finish off with a red brad as the center of a filigree brad and Voila!
