Double D Challenge - Anything with a Heart

Darlene is the host for this Challenge and the inspiration board says it all. 

Anything with a Heart  

This is the prize

This is my card. 

I seem to be on a Clean and Simple streak!  New slimline card, but I make mine a bit smaller. I like it that way. This one is 61/2 X 3.  Just right for a few $$$$.  Lol

The inside is sparkly too.

Seize the Birthday - Hearts #207

Here we are in February and this is the first of our challenges for this month at Seize the Birthday. I had a lot of birthdays in January, but not so many in February.  These cards will just replenish my stash of cards for future birthday occasions. Nancy is our host for this challenge and she has appropriately chosen the topping of Hearts. 

Come on and join us for this challenge.  All you crafty people out there, young and old, you can do it.  I think in these times, people really appreciate a card in the mail to perk up their day. 

If you would rather not follow our topping of Hearts, just remember to make it a birthday card

We see cardinals every day on our bird feeder.  They are so pretty and that is why I got this cute Sizzix die as a freebie from Simon Says Stamp with purchase. I have stamps, but this is my first die. I just used distressed inks on watercolor paper and then die cut it out. Added some hearts from the same watercolor paper and one in red foil. After all the topping is Hearts. The green boughs are from The Greetery, Botanical Pine Boughs. Added my Sentiment and that is all. 

                   Our Surprise Party Guest for February and March is Carol Mayne.  

                                                          You will find her blog HERE

You really need to take a look at the Seize the Birthday blog to see what the other team members had done to inspire you. I hope to see you there.

Double D - HEARTS

It's February, and you will not be surprised that our theme is HEARTS

Here is the inspiration board for you. Team Diane is up this time. 

Take a look at the bottom left section, as that is where I went for my inspiration. 

Without further ado here it is. 

I was drawn to the patterns on the puffy hearts and thought I would start there. I stamped the Leaves and Berries background stamp from Simon Says on white paper with Distress ink in Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac.  Then die cut the hearts in different sized from Die-Namics Stitched Hearts. The panel on the front is dry embossed with a folder from Darci called Wire Fence.  I added a banner that I colored with the Shaded Lilac ink. My white string was also colored with the same ink. This could be a Valentine's card or not. 

Of course, there is a prize for a random winner. 

Remember you all have a chance at the random pick! It's all fun.  Be sure to check out the blog to see more inspiration.  It is all so original 

Thanks for stopping in, Love your comments. 

Double D - Hearts

Where did January go??? I know that it was here as we did two challenges, but here is it February and it is time for another fun challenge at Double D.  This is so appropriate for February as our theme is Hearts.  Check out the mood board.

Lots of hearts to be inspired by and you can also use your own inspiration like I did.  I love red hearts and that's what I went with. Here is my card and matching envelope for you.

This one went together pretty fast as I had an idea in my head and that is half the process. I did the snowflake stencil with white paste on white cardstock. Then cut the Hearts Parade from Simon Says out of red foil paper. That was adhered to the white panel with some foam to raise it up and give more texture.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday Bleeding Hearts stamp and framed with the red foil as well.  On my envelope, I die cut the Memory Box Heart rays die and put some white paper under it.  Here is a better look at that.

This card will be sent to a special guy in my life, my grandson Jack who says that he is not too old to get one from Grandma.
Here is the prize that you could get for winning this challenge.

 

I hope to see you there! Remember to see what team Diane has done for your inspiration.  You can find them here at Double D Challenge.
