Create a Valentine They Will L♥ve to Display Year Round!

Hi everyone!

True :D here today to share another simple but elegant project with you.

How many times have you poured your heart into a Valentine, only to see it put away in a drawer or *gasp* thrown in the garbage? Why not make them something this year that they will love to display? This sweet little heart can be hung on a wall, doorknob, or even on a rear view mirror in a car. :)

(Click on photos for a closer peek)

It was quick and easy to make using Spellbinder dies and Want2Scrap bling.

The designer cardstocks are some that I illustrated for Inky Antics. I have to say that it is super fun working with your own creations! :)

I stamped a sentiment on the back from my Inky Antic's #1115MC "Swirly Bird" clear stamp set. There is still plenty of room for a hand-written message as well.

A Blinged Out Mother's Day Card For My Daughter-in-law.

Hello everyone!
True here, and today I am sharing a triple duty card with you.

Karen gave me the OK to create a card for my post here and for a blog hop that is gong on over at my blog.
I wanted to share some pretty bling with my hoppers too!

I also needed to create a Mother's Day card for a very special lady in my life. My daughter-in-law Kristin. She is expecting our very first grandchild in October!

I am a firm believer that from the very second of conception, a baby is a baby, so that makes Kristin a mom even though the little one is still in her tummy. :)

Kristin, like her mother-in-law, LOVES BLING so I really did it up on this one!
The pretty vertical piece to the left of the image is Beautiful Bling-Black Wave Rhinestone/Silver.
I also used some Hot Pink Pearls and a super brilliant Heart Ribbon Slide.

I broke out with my Copic markers for a change on this one. :)

Preferred Partner Products Used:
Beacon - Fabri-tac

Other Products Used:
Digital stamp by Mo Manning
Ribbon Club assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon
Bazzill Pepper Dotted Swiss from Discount Card Stock.

Fancy Pants designer paper from StopAndScrap.

If you would like to see the inside of the card or get more info on other products used, please visit my blog...after you leave me some ♥LOVE♥ here of course! :)

Everyone here at Want2Scrap would like to wish all of the mothers out there a VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! :)

Thanks for dropping by!

Seaside Friends by Joe Morgan

For my artist trading card, I wanted to create this under sea scene after getting some inspiration from a piece of Robin’s Nest paper that reminded me of ocean waves.

I started off with one of Want2Scrap’s Chipboard ATC’s. I love the weight of these and they are nice and thick so they don’t bend when you put glue or paint on them. I covered the ATC with Zip Dry adhesive to adhere my piece of Robin’s Nest paper. I wanted my background to be glossy, but not as glossy as the mermaid, so I covered the Robin’s Nest paper with PPA Gloss which gives a nice glossy, but satin like finish depending on how you apply it. After that, I inked the edges with a Charcoal Cat’s Eye ink pad from Clearsnap.

For the mermaid, I used a Stampendous cling stamp, and colored with Copic markers. Then I cut out the mermaid and covered her with Sakura Crystal Lacquerand set aside to dry. If you’re wondering, the seahorse is part of the mermaid stamp.

For the word Friends, I used Want2Scrap’s Chipboard Sentiments – Words of Love. First, I covered the word with pearl colored acrylic paint, and then used alcohol inks to add color, and then a light coat of clear crackle paint to finish it off. I also used the same colors of alcohol ink to dab a little matching color on the bottom part of my ATC to make my ocean floor.

After all of my pieces were ready, I used some more Crystal Lacquer to adhere the mermaid the the ATC, and then the word friends on top of the mermaid.

To finish my ATC, I used bling from two different packs of Want2Scrap bling. I used Maxxi Girl Swirls in Brown and the Finesse Swirls in the new LeCreme Pearls color. The mermaid stamp showed her with a braid or string tied around her hair with seashells on it. I covered that with the brown rhinestones and some of the LeCreme Pearls. I just cut off what I needed and placed them one at a time. I also put some down in the sand as well as a couple of large swirls to show the movement of the water. I just happen to love mermaids and seahorses, so I had a great time making this.

LOVE Hot Pink And Black Bling!

Hi Everyone! True :D here.

I just LOVE that there are so many colors of bling to choose from @ Want2Scrap!

For my card today, I combined the pretty Hot Pink and Black 72ct. Rhinestones. Those colors always go so well together.

I colored the fun Inky Antics images in with some Designer Dries Clear glue and Ultra Fine Transparent Glitters from Art Glitter.

I used adhesives from both Beacon and GlueArts.

The cardstocks are all from Discount Card Stock.

The ribbon is China Doll Hand-dyed Silk from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This was a double duty card. I also created it for today's CardMaker Magazine "Rock Star" blog hop where we were to use a song, artist, or lyrics as our inspiration. I used both part of the lyrics and the band's name as inspiration. Leave me a comment below if you figured it out. (Don't give the answer though so others can play along). :)

You can VISIT MY BLOG for the answer if you are stumped. :)

Thanks for popping by today! :)

Hugs,

Want2Scrap: How to make a Snow Flake

I love adding a touch of "homemade" to a store bought gift! A fun altered box for a gift card or a great holiday tag on a bottle of wine...it is always nice to let the recipient know you put a little time into their gift. I made a few fun snowflakes for this holiday tag and wanted to share with you how I did them.

First gather your supplies:
