Simple Valentine's Day Card

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day! Mine was great! Can't remember when was the last time we celebrated but yesterday was fun. Valentine's doesn't have to be elaborate, and so the card I made is as simple as it gets too. I do love how it turned out though. I've been doing lots of coloring on my cards lately, images, that it's a welcome change to do a clean and simple card.

I used Taylored Expression's Wreath of Love, colored it with Red and Green Copics and added some Nuvo Crystals to make the dots. I did a little brush of clear glitter on the hearts too. I lettered the sentiment myself and kept it as simple as possible.

Hope you all had fun yesterday!

Dollie with Cupcake Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! I'm so happy to be able to share a new card with you today! I already gave this card to my daughter's school admin staff so I'm able to post and share now. This is a happy birthday card with the sentiment lettered by me, and stamp using The Greeting Farm's Dollie with Cupcake.


I used pink background Pixie cardstock from Close to My Heart, and pattered papers are from Echo Park - Birthday Wishes paper pack. I colored her up using Copics and used Nuvo glitter glue for the heart pin and cupcake topper. For the cupcake frosting I also used Nuvo, the non-glitter version because I wanted to create a real whipped cream sort of look.

The flower blossoms are a mix from Wild Orchids Crafts and Prima Marketing flowers. Don't you just love how the colors came together? I love it!

So here are my Copics used:
Hair - E53, E55, E57
Skin - E000, E00, E01, E11, E21
Blush - R20
Lips - R27
Dress - RV14, RV13, RV11
Apron and Socks - W0, W1, W3
Cupcake Sleeve - Y17, Y15

Hope you guys enjoy this!
