I love you!

Love is in the air and this season is to express our love. My project today  is a Love Card that I made using only one piece of the Love Set, that I called "My love in a bubble"


To make this card I only used acrylic paint and classic ink to decorate the chipboard piece.


Let me show you how I made each part:

Fist I painted the chipboard bubble with white acrylic paint, the letters with black acrylic paint and the heart with Classic Poppy Parade Ink.




When the ink was dry, I covered the heart with a thin layer of glue, using a double glue pen, to sprinkle it with Dazzling Diamonds. Then I assembled all the parts.


Now that my main part was created, the next steps were very quick. I cut the different layers of my card and I aligned them easily with the Get-It-Straight Laser Square.


I used three different layers of papers for the base and one for the top.


To compliment the decoration of my card, I cut five word bubbles from a die cut framelits that are a little smaller than my decorated piece and I aligned all the pieces in two rows,  and pasted all the pieces with dimensionals.


Finally I tied a bow of red and white bakers twine on top of my card.


Other cuts that you can find in the Love Set are these cute cupids and these sensual lips, that you will see in another project that I will create just for you!

Love is Sweet


                                                                  All love is sweet,
                                               given or returned
                                                                  Percy Bysshe Shelley, English Poet

The season of love has arrived, filled with hope and promise. What could be sweeter than joyful sparkly birds and cherries on the vine? I started this project by using these gorgeous lovebirds.
The birds were painted with a bright white acrylic, and the tiny LOVE letters were painted in vivid red.
The tiny wood hearts, available from Unique Laser Designs,  were painted in a pretty pink.
Once the paint was dry, I used sparkling iridescent glitter and covered the birds in white, and the tiny hearts in pink, then set aside to let them dry for a while.
The card base was the easy part! I chose a piece of pretty sold blue card stock, and cut a large rectangle 6.5 inches wide by 9 inches tall. I cut a slightly smaller piece of my favorite romantic patterned paper, and glued the pattern sheet onto the solid card stock.
Once the chipboard lovebirds were dry, I added a few round pop dots on to the back, and adhered them up into the cherry branches. If you take a look in the upper left hand corner, you'll see my kitty Max gave me a hand with the pop dot process.
Once the birds were in place, I then adhered the tiny pink glitter hearts. I added a few curled ribbons in red and white glitter paper, two cherry blossoms in glitter paper, and the bright pink cherries and stem, all in glitter paper.

Then you have love! In a joyful burst of sparkle and glitter, you have love in a card.

Live your life in color!
