Sweet Thing! and Followed My Heart!

I am a new member of the Creative Charms Design Team and am so excited to be designing for them.  This is such an awesome company and you can now find all of their embellishments on Addicted to Scrapbooking.com  You will absolutely love all they have to offer.  My first contribution is a Valentine's card (never to early to start getting ready for the day of Love!) and features embellishments from the Sweet Tooth collection.  You can never go wrong with chocolates!  Inside is the sentiment "sweet thing" is accented with epoxy candy stickers.

On  this second valentine card we used Gradient Jewels to accent above the "lace" in the red and white and the adorable Sparkly Butterfly Gems from the Gem Garden collection.   The flower bouquet was created by stamping a stem and adding the puffy hearts for the flowers and the inside again finished with the sentiment " i love you" and accented with pink heart brads.

Valentine Layouts

I created these Valentine's layouts using two different Creative Charms Kits.

The first layout features a kit that contains: 2 Vintage Velvet Poppies, Velvet Ribbon, Pure Blossoms, Gradient Pearl Stickers and 3 Heart Brads.

I used Core'dinations Whitewash, Stemma Something Sweet and Red Cardstock for this layout. I added the Pearl Stickers to the Pure Blossoms and sanded the Core'dinations paper. I loved the Pearl Stickers on this layout - I used them throughout and they really added a special touch to the layout.
This second layout is more fun and whimsical. The kit contains: Ribbon, 5 Fabric Hearts, Large Circle Brad, Lips & Hearts Brads and Gradient Gem Stickers.

I used Bo Bunny Dots with Red and White Card Stock for the titles. I added some stitching and inking. The brads on this layout were great.


These kits were so fun, thanks for taking a look!

You Light Up My Life..

Valentines day is only a few short weeks away.  Here is a card using the Red Poppies from the Vintage Poppies Collection and Sparkled Butterflies from the Dream Garden Collection.  The border is accented with the Pink Gradient Gems.  The sentiment is stamped on CS  and accented with Stickles to give it some bling.  The background CS is embossed at the bottom and then sanded using Core'dinations cardstock.  Another version uses the larger Red Poppy and Red Gradiant Gems.  In the center of this poppy I used one of the White Vintage Brads and colored it red with alcohol ink.  The card is finished with white ribbon.  Visit the Creative Charms website to order these beautiful embellishments for your Valentine creations.
