Wild about you!

>> Monday, February 1, 2021

Happy Monday Everyone. Well we didn't get the promised snow last Monday, but we did get some yesterday and today. It is so pretty. This is the first time hubby has had to use the snow blower this season. So glad it started right up for him!


I have a Valentine card to share with you today that uses the new Wild About You greeting. I have enjoyed looking for different images to pair it with and looking at everyone else's cards and seeing more ideas. Today I've paired it with The Western Dancing Couple. They look like they're pretty wild about each other, don't you think?!




First I stamped the dancing couple onto white CS with Memento black ink, colored them with some Copics and die cut them. The new greeting was stamped with Versafine Black ink and die cut with a banner die. The gray panel was embossed with a Sizzix EF. After gluing the gray panel to the card base the other two pieces were added. The sentiment is popped up with some foam adhesive. 


I recently saw a new technique by Jennifer McGuire and decided to give it a try. Since I needed a thank you card...




Several different thank you images were stamped onto the blue card base with HA white ink. Once the ink dried a circle was die cut out of the front of the card and a smaller yellow circle was die cut as well as the orange thanks. The yellow circle was centered in the opening and the word thanks was glued onto the circle and onto the edged of the card base where they overlap. There are 3 layers for the word thanks so it's a little more sturdy than if it was only one layer. If I make this type of card again I'll make the opening a little smaller or use a longer die cat word. :-)

Here's a look at the inside.



The light blue circle shows through when the card is closed. The others are hidden.. These are the thank you images I used. Some of them were only partially used.

Give thanks

Deco thank you

Sincerely sympathy thank you

Brush thank you


I also used some small hearts to fill in the gaps. They came from the following images:

Love bug

Small Silhouette Heart

Hearts and scrolls


Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to check out all the new images here.


blessings,

Sheila I love the Wild About You card. That is a great image to use with the sentiment and the colors are fantastic. This would make a great valentine card for my DH. I might need to case your card. The thank you card has some wonderful colors on it and I love how you decorated the inside.
