Heart2Heart Challenges - Shades of Red

This is my Design Team project for Heart2Heart Challenge's "Shades of Red, Black and White" challenge this week.  I had one last Valentine to make today - one for my 14 year old son.  His primary interest is video games so I altered a meme from the Skyrim franchise.  I thought I'd explain it because if you don't have a gamer in the house the sentiment on this card probably seems really, really weird!

I used our La Vie En Rose paper pack for all the lovely black and white papers on this card and mixed it with Ruby cardstock.  The arrow card base is from our Artfully Sent cartridge and I had my Explore write the font from the Artiste cartridge so I could fill in with Shinhan Touch Twin markers and empahsize certain words. I outlined the arrows with our Journaling Pen and added some fun Silver Foil Tape to pop things up a bit.

The inside of the card has a fun heart border from Artistry layered with black underneath the stripes to give it a fun 3-D effect.

Hopefully my kiddo will like this one (I know he'll like the chocolate I bought him)! Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll hop on over to the Heart2Heart Challenges blog and join the fun in our "Shades of Red, Black and White" challenge!

Stay crafty my friends!

Happy Valentine's Day! Mad Scientist Love Potion Z Fold Card

Happy Valentine's Day to all you crafty people out there!  Here is the card I made for my teen science guy this year using our Positive Chemistry stamp set along with the mad scientist from "A Frightful Affair" cricut cartridge. The font is from our Artistry cart.

This one is a Z fold card - basically you take a regular card and fold the front back on itself to create a Z shape. 

I used second generation Whisper ink to stamp the background of the paper with the ion stamp.

This shot shows the shine from the Liquid Glass I applied over the Shinhan Touch Twin Marker colored beakers.

I hope you all have a wonderful day full of love and laughter!  Enjoy your Valentine's Day!

Hugs,

Paige

Heart2Heart Challenges - Two/Second Challenge

This card was created for the Heart2Heart Challenges "Two" Challenge this week.  My interpretation of this challenge is two objects, in this case two foxes plus two initials.  This one is my first Valentine for this year and obviously created for my husband Mark!

This kind of scene card where you take pieces from several patterned papers and bring them all together is one of my very favorite kinds of cards to create.  The orange fur comes from our Sangria collection, the tree bark overlay is from Urban, the blue herringbone sky is from Zoe and the leaves on the tree come from Kaleidoscope!  Plus I used Topiary, Kraft, White and Creme Brulee (retired) cardstock!  I always feel like I'm painting with the different colors and patterns of papers when I create on like this.

I hope you'll join us at Heart2Heart Challenges this week with your own interpretation of our "Two" challenge!
