Handmade With Love by Leica

Hello, crafty friends!  I have a mini slimline Valentine's card to share with you all today, using Pretty Pink Posh stamps and dies. I see a lot of us are trying the new mini slimline size cards... and so far, I am loving this smaller version of the slimline card. The size of my card is 3.25" x 6.25". To make the card, I've cut a 110lb Neenah cardstock in white to 6.25" x 6.5" scored at the 3.25" mark. Ok, let's begin! I first made a panel, slightly smaller than my card, using the scallop border from Stitched Borders 1 Die and the straight border from Stitched Borders 2 . I then added color to the background using Distress Oxide inks in Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, and Antique Linen splattered with black and rose gold acrylic paints. Next, I stamped the LOVE from the Love Stamp Set  and the adorable hedgehogs from the Hedgehog Friends . I colored the images with Copic Markers in R32/30/24/22/20, BG10, E77/74/71/70/11/00/000, YG23/21. This card size i...

I turned them into heart balloons by adding strings. Next, I adhered them to the acetate using foam tape. To make a well for the shaker card, I lined the frame with foam tape and also added foam tape behind the heart balloons so that some of the gems would stay in the top part of the card. The gems I used is Sweetheart Rhinestones . I then stamped the word “Lo...

  Hello friends!   Today, I am sharing a birthday slimline card using new items from Pretty Pink Posh .  First, I cut a 3.5” x 8.5” panel in white cardstock and used the Wide Stripes Stencil   and brushed with distress oxides in Picked Raspberry, Antique Linen, and Spiced Marmalade. I then cut a slightly smaller panel and used the Layered Confetti Stencils using the same inks above. Next, I die cut a pink cardstock using the larger die from the Slimline: Scallop Frames Die Set and glued on the panel with the Confetti print.  Next, I stamped images from the Party Days stamp set , colored with Copic markers, and cut with the coordinating dies . I backed them with yellow cardstock cut using the scallop square from the same die set.  I then heat embossed the sentiments from the Let's Party stamp set in white onto black cardstock that I cut using the Simple Strips die . Lastly, I adhered the panels onto my slimline card and foam mounted the images for added ...
