Roses are Red

Happy Monday!  Hope you all had a LOVELY weekend!  I had so much fun with my little Bean.  He is such a loving, kind hearted, and giving little boy.  I am so proud he is the way he is!  He surprised me with roses and candy. 

This card reminds me of him.  I made it using the newest Bebunni release Bebunni Floral.  This particular stamp is called:Sweet Friend.  I used the Clouds 6x6 Embosslicious folder from Crafter's Companion.  Deloris (my Silhouette) cute out the word LOVE and I made "thick" by gluing together many layers of the same word.  Glossed it up with Glossy Accents.  The entire card has several areas of Silver embossing powder added and melted.  It is super shiny in person.

To "tie" it all together I have added a bow with a couple of layers using Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used the Sheer Organza with Satin center in RED.  I layered it on top of Metallic String in Silver.  I tied this fun bow using the Bow It All.

Here is a list of Colors I used to color this card:
Spectrum Noir Markers:
Ig1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG5, PP2, DR3, JG1
Spectrum Noir Pencils:
114, 116, 29, 34, 96, 32, 54

Vintage Love

Hello to all my friends and followers.  Today I have another Valentine featuring a pretty stamp from Crafter's Companion and ribbon and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I tied it all together by airbrushing to create a vintage look.  Speaking of Vintage, Crafter's Companion is have a Vintage Themed Challenge this month.  You can enter over on their FB page.

My stamp is from the Sentimentals Imagine Set.  It comes with 18 other sentiments on the set.  Now that is my kind of sentiment set!

I tied a bow using Ivory Faux Canvas Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It is an amazing ribbon that holds it's shape really well.  The flowers are also from Really Reasonable Ribbon and are Wild Orchid. I used Trellis Roses, Open Roses and Bead Berry Sprays. 

I used my eBrush and sprayed each flowers and spray with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers in EB8, BG3, PP2.

The splatter is Spectrum Noir EB8.

Thank you so much for stopping in today!  

Words Cannot Describe...

Today's Valentine is from Crafter's Companion.  I used the Sentimentals Set- Friends and Family.  The hearts are cut out using my Silhouette, Deloris.  I attached them to twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  

Have a great day!

Music For Your Heart

What a great 3 day weekend it has been!  Hi everyone so glad to have you this Sunday.  I have a really fun Valentines Day card.  It features products from Crafter's Companion and some fun ribbon and twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I made my card by embossing "Laughter is the music for your heart to dance to..."with silver embossing powder.    I popped up the heart with 3M foam mounting tape.  I tied RRR Black Licorice Bakers Twine in 5 rows and tied it off with Really Reasonable Ribbon's Lipstick Red Seam Binding.

Here is a close up of the seam binding.  It is super easy to tie and I just LOVE the way bows turn out when I use this ribbon.

I used super fine silver metallic embossing powder to achieve the shiny look of the sentiment on the front of my card.  I love all the Sentimental Sets at Crafter's Companion. This one is from the Imagine EzMount Stamp Set. They have tons of sentiments in one set, so they are so worth buying.  You can see all of them here at the Crafter's Companion USA site.

Please join in on the Really Reasonable Challenge going on now at the RRR blog!  It is to use Hearts and Ribbon.  Hope to see you there!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

My Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!  Hope everyone has a SWEET day!  My little lovie gave me beautiful roses today.  He was so excited to give them to me even though he is so sick.  I got the OK from the DR to take him to his Valentine Party.  So hopefully it will pick up his spirits.

Today I have a quick Valentine I created using tools from Perfect Paper Crafting.

I used the 1/8 on the Perfect Layer tool to create my double mat.

Thanks so much for visiting!  Hope you have a wonderful day.  If you want to see some fun ideas that are out there on the web, follow me on PINTEREST!  I LOVE pinning!

Happy Tuesday!  Hope everyone is having a LOVELY week so far.  We are here at the Cochran house.  My little Bean and I are having fun getting his Valentines ready for Friday.  So exciting that the school is actually having the kids party on the day of the holiday.  Most of the time they do the weirdest thing...they have the party on a different day.  Really? I have to ask...WHY???

I know this holiday was blown out of proportion to sell cards.  But I cannot help but make it special for my little Bean.  He gets so excited.  I am going to take lunch and eat with him on Friday and also surprise him with a balloon bouquet.  Then off the the movies after school.  How do all of you celebrate Valentine's Day?  Are you like me and do it for the kiddos or do you get a sitter and spend it with someone special?  Let me know in a comment below?

Some Odd Girl is releasing this SWEET digi today.  It is called Holding Hands Kody and Mae.  It is just adorbs!  Don't you think?  I also used the clear sentiment set from Some Odd Girl called Make A Statement.

Another exciting bit of info from Some Odd Girl:  They are having their DT Call.  I can contest that this team is a blast to be a part of.  I am sure that whomever makes the cut will be thrilled!  So, go for it...make a project featuring a SOG image and throw your hat in the race!

OMG

Big Eyed Girl

Have ya'all been to Color Me Creative?  It is a ning group that offers challenges, groups and classes.  It is a very large community of crafters with amazing talent.  This community was founded and is totally ran by Suzanne Dean.  I have been on the DT for CMC for 3 years in June.  I love it!  I have learned everything there is to learn about coloring with alcohol markers.

Hope you will join in our current challenge "Girly".  I have used this fun big eyed girl from Dilly Beans.  They are our current sponsor at CMC!  Scroll down to see a peek at how I put together my card using Perfect Paper Crafting tools! #perfectpapercrafting #colormecreative #jaxbeanstalks

I colored up my image and glued it down on a piece of red cardstock.  I then took my perfect layers tool from Perfect Paper Crafting and lined it up with my image.

Then taking my Xacto knife I just cut using the Perfect Layers tool as my guide!

Thanks so much for visiting!
