Quick valentine cards using Craftangles elements pack.

Hello!

I am having so much fun playing with the newly released Craftangles Valentine printed element packs! I could easily combine a couple of packs along with  Craftangles patterned paper to make some gorgeous cards! 

For the first card, I cut out a panel from the Craftangles Watercolour florals 2 Elements pack and added the sentiment heart  from Craftangles 'All for love 2' elements pack with double sided foam tape to the centre. I inked the edges of a precut cardstock panel with Tim Holtz 'Worn Lipstick' distress ink and matted the floral panel before adhering it to the card base. I finished the card with some Craftangles pink sequins.

For the second card, I used another panel, with the cutest birds, from the Craftangles 'Watercolour Florals 2' Elements pack and added another heart sentiment from the Craftangles 'All for Love 2'     elements pack with 3D foam tape. I inked another cardstock panel, just like above and matted the printed panel. 

I finished the card with pink sequins from Craftangles

For the third card, I inked the card base directly with Tim Holtz 'Carved Pumpkin' distress ink. I then adhered the printed card panel and adhered the sentiment with 3D foam tape. I added some Craftangles clear sequins to finish the card.

For the next three cards, I used patterned papers from the new Craftangles 'Sweet Love' 6"x6" paper pack to act as a base for the super cute elements from the 

Craftangles Watercolour love 1 elements pack. 

I left the cards super simple so that I could add sentiments in the future or use them as they are.

I hope you will be inspired to make some of your own valentine cards and will give these beautiful patterned papers and printed element packs a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

Quick love cards using patterned papers

Hello!

Today I have some quick and easy love cards  which I made using 

the Craftangles 'Be My Valentine and 'All For Love Vol 2' patterned paper packs.

For the first card, I die cut a sheet of black and white patterned paper  using Simon Says Stamp square stitched dies and adhered it to a white card stock panel. I then die cut a heart using a sheet of red patterned paper and adhered this to the panel using 3D foam tape. I added a mini wooden clip and some resin dots for interest. 

The sentiment is from the Craftangles 'Will You Be Mine' stamp set. I cut apart the words of the stamp in order to make them fit in the space that I wanted to stamp them in.

For the second card, I started by adhering a patterned paper panel to the 6"x4" card base.

I then cut out two elements from the Craftangles 'Be my Valentine' elements pack and adhered them to the card. I added some Craftangles 'clear shimmer' sequins to add some interest.

For the third card, I used patterned paper to adhered to the card base. I then die cut the dancers using the red patterned paper from the paper pack. I then adhered a printed element from 

the Craftangles 'Be My Valentine' elements pack as well as some Craftangles 'ruby' sequins  to finish the card.

For the final card, I started by adhering the die cut patterned paper panel to the card base. I then stamped and fussy cut the cute image from the Craftangles 'You and Me' stamp set. I watercoloured just the hearts so as to make the image pop.

I used 3D foam tape to adhere the image to the card.

I stamped the sentiment (Paper Smooches) onto the patterned paper and added some 

Craftangles 'Clear shimmer' sequins to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed these cards and will give them a try.

Here is my inspiration for this brand new challenge.

I have played with the newly released Craftangles 'All year round- Calender stamp'.

Oh its  so much fun and has so many possiblities...I will share more in the days to come on social media so do keep a look out!

I will also share a tutorial soon.

To create this card, I checked the dates for the month of January on a calender and masked off the rest of the stamp, before applying ink to it.

I then removed the masks and stamped the dates. 

I then added the days of the week and the month. 

I wanted to highlight the 5th of the month so I stamped it on another piece of card stock with red ink and punched it out with a circle punch.

I then distressed the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink and adhered it the the calender using #D foam tape, in order to make it stand out.

I then stamped, coloured and added the aquarius image from Mama Elephant.

I layered the calender with red cardstock and and then adhered it to a beige card base.

I stamped a birthday sentiment and a die cut from Craftangles to finish the card

I also added some paint splatters to create some interest.

I hope this card has inspired you to play with this stamp and play along in our challenge.

Do read the rules carefully as given above.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!
