I scored! Yup! Can you see the vertical scoring lines on the background? I did it! LOL I used an empty ball pen.

I have used the styrofoam balls as flower centers this time. I like the effect. The flowers and swirls are hand drawn. The sentiment is hand written. I forgot to add a cute little butterfly which I made. It was supposed to be placed on the top left side. Anyway, I love this card! It came out beautifully. Looks better in real life.

Gold Valentine

Another Valentine card. This one is for my friend Sofia's sister-in-law. I chose a completely different color and went with off-white and gold. I took my inspiration from Laura’s sketch at 2SfY. I Tried to do something different this time. Instead of an envelope I decided I should make a box without a lid. There is no lid but I have used gold net to cover the top.

I stitched the box together with double gold thread.

For decoration I cut strips of same chart paper and wrapped gold thread all around it and glued some sequins. All four sides have this look. The box is 4.5x4.5

Now for the inside; the card is 4x4 and has a belly band. It is a tri-fold card. I decorated the inside to the minimum; Hence, no photos of the inside.

For today's card I used a mauve and white printer paper. I have used white cardstock as the card's base, but my white card stock it not as white as WHITE is. So I used a printer paper instead. I have not got my cuttlebug embossing folders yet, I thought I would make my own glittery Swiss dots!

I know, I know...I used a BIG FAT ribbon... but I wanted to! Really! I wanted to make a silver ribbon rose and place it in between the bow knot. For doing so I needed a fat ribbon. That's my excuse: P
LOL

The flowers are hand drawn and so is the swirl. I added little bit of sequins to the ribbon just for that extra oomph! I didn’t plan on cutting the circle SO big, but in the myriad events something went wrong!

Anyhoo, better luck next time! :o)

Moldy Love!

Another love card...
I thought I should do something other than red. So here is my non-red card! :o)

The challenge at Charisma Cards is "love". My card fits the theme.

Here are my two glittery pink and sequined green heart! I think the sequin green heart belongs to Mel. LOL.

After all she has a moldy heart nowadays (she cracks me up, silly girl!). I hope she gets well real soon, we all have missed her work!

I have planned on making lots of Valentine cards. Well, that is what I have planned. Now I have no clue when I am going to go about executing the plan!

The hearts are hand drawn and obviously as you can all see the sentiment is hand written.

Love Love!

Today’s card is all about looove! LOL Using Laura’s sketch from 2 sketches 4 u, I decided it’s time for some love cards. Yeah, and I reaaaaaaally went ahead with the love theme! LOL - over the top? I think YES.

But someone would love this card, I know that someone, she will be oohing and aahing over this card I am sure about it!

Today nothing was going right for me, in terms of taking picture. I just didn't seem to get the right background for this picture... First, I took the pics using white background but the card looked so washed out, as if part of the background!

Then I used my sweater! LOL That didn't work either. I gave up.

Any way, on to the card details. Everything is hand drawn, from the hearts to the swirly stems and the BIG heart (no template used). The heart can actually be lifted and there is a msg inside that says “You are in my heart”. I really wanted to decorate the inside but the heart was too over powering, I thought that maybe if I do something here as well, the card would certainly qualify for the “over the top design of the month”! lol :o)
