I love using the Triangle Card Mat die because it's so easy to make 2 cards at the same time.

Cut it Up Challenge #245 ~ Love / Valentine

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a new challenge for you at Cut it Up Challenges.We're celebrating LOVE (and/or) Valentine's Day.
I used a cut file from our sponsor, The Cutting Cafe, to make this slimline card.

I love the heart cutout cover but thought it would be fun to have the hearts coming out of the clouds, so   I added two cloud die cuts from Jaded Blossom along with the love die cut sentiment.  I used the hearts that were cut out of the cover mat to decorate the inside.  This was such a quick card to make and sometimes those are the best when you want to send handmade cards but have a lot on your crafty desk.
We always appreciate the support Regina and The Cutting Cafe offer to our challenge blog.We hope you'll play along.

Jaded Blossom's February Challenge ~ Use Kraft Card Stock

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for a new challenge at Jaded Blossom.
Along with a Jaded Blossom product, we're asking you to use Kraft paper on your project.I love the look of Kraft and have found that using ink, Prisma pencils, or Copics are all mediums that work well.
For my project I used stenciling with Distress Oxides and coloring with Copics on Neenah Desert Storm card stock.

Here are the Jaded Blossom products I used:

Heart Wreath stamp set (I heat embossed it before coloring)

Fall Hearts Stencil

Fancy Hearts Die

Basic Word Dies

Rectangle Dies

Scallop Rectangle Dies

Please join our challenge.  Just link up for a chance to win a JB stamp set of your choice.

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends ~ STAMPENDOUS Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
Our Facebook Group, Passionate Paper Creations & Friends, is lucky to be sponsored by STAMPENDOUS over the next 4 days.  The company graciously provided team members with 2 cling stamps to create with.
Here are my projects.

This image is called Floral Flutter - isn't it gorgeous!?  I used Copic markers to color the image and mounted it a mat embossed using Altenew's  3D embossing folder, Floating Foliage.  The sentiment was cut using Jaded Blossom Basic Word Dies.

There's just nothing cuter than the House Mouse line of cling stamps.  I colored using Copic markers.  All of the die cuts are from LaLa Land Crafts.  
BtW, I cut both images out using my Scan NCut.  I just used a pencil to draw a continuous line around the images so the Scan NCut would recognize them as whole objects.  I erased the lines before coloring.
Be sure to stop by PPCF on Facebook to take advantage of the sponsorship special STAMPENDOUS is offering to PPCF members.
