Valentine Blog Tour

A few of us "angels" from Paper Wings (an online community of TAC™ independent demonstrators) are having a blog tour to feature Valentine's Day! Won't you join us? There are some very talented angels involved! I created a couple easel cards that I will be giving out this year. I have been enjoyed making these, they are easy. I just hope the recipients know how to stand them up but I may have to send small pictures with them! Both cards will fit a standard Invitation (A2) envelope. Anyway, on with the projects!


This card uses Cha Cha SWIC, coordinating cardstock, white cardstock, and I Heart You stamp set. I also used the Scor-Pal and Scor-Bug. Images are stamped in L'Amore PH ink. How do you like that heart?


Here's a close-up of the heart. Our local scrapbooking store carries these springs and they are called "Piggy Tales". There are 6 small and 4 large and they have adhesive on them. Just remove the slick backing and stick! How cool!


Here's another view of the heart. I used my Stardust Clear Gel pen on the dots and swirls but it's very difficult to see here. The pen added some great bling!


I made this easel card horizontal. The chipboard letters are inked with Brilliance Moonlight White ink then, when dry, I covered with the Stardust Clear Gel pen. The swirl stamp, from Fancy Curls, is also stamped with the white ink. I again used the Cha Cha coordinating cardstock, L'Amore PH ink, and the I Heart You set for the text.


Can you see the shimmer from the Gel pen?

Anyway, please stop by these talented angels and see their projects! (Just click on their names to go to their blogs.)
