Valentine's with Hearts and Bunnies


Tips and Tricks Tuesday
Oh, what to do with those large images that almost take up the whole card?  I love to use corner punches on them, it makes all the difference and there are so many to choose from.  Here I used a punch to just snip off a piece of the corner and really you could just cut it if you don't have it.  Then I added red Dot Sparklers from Stampendous to the layered corners, which I use on so many of my cards.  This is then layered on a heart shaped doily and glued onto a red card that has been tied with pink ribbon.  This Bon Bon Bunny from Stampendous, colored with Prisma pencils doesn't need anything else!

Beautiful Blue Birthday Wishes


Welcome to the birth of a new year...2015 to be precise! In honor of that, we've decided that the Dreamweaver Stencils monthly challenge for January will be Birthday Wishes. We'd love for you to play along with us, and link your creations to the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of this post, or on the Dream It Up! blog, for a chance to win the stencil of your choice...and remember, using Dreamweaver products gets you bonus points towards an extra stencil!

Here is how I made my card;
1.  Lay LX7001 Damask on white cardstock and spray with WheatGrass and Blueberry Shake Memories Mists.  Lay another piece of white cardstock on top of this and lightly rub to absorb the spray on the stencil, this is the piece used for the background. 
2. Place LG698 Corner Flourishes in upper left corner and paste emboss with Dreamweaver Stencils Embossing Paste and let dry. 
3. Place stencil over the dried embossing paste and sponge with green inks. Remove stencil and spray with silver spray.
4.  Paste emboss sentiment from LG704 Birthday Words with Dreamweaver Stencils Metallic Silver Embossing Paste.  When dry cut out using Nesting Ovals Die DD004.
5.  Mount pieces to card as shown.
Of course, more birthday inspirations coming your way from our "A" team:
