Posted on January 30, 2015 by debbrooner

Thank you, Corel Draw for this purple and green background. I just happened to have the right green and purple card stock to match it. Lots of stamping and lots of cutting files used.

I love all of the fun little die cuts and stamps on these 4 cards. The colors of the marbled paper caused me to use colors I don’t usually go for but I liked the result.

Welcome to part 2 of my Valentine series!

I love the background paper that I purchased at the Paper Source store. The gray, mint green, lime, and turquoise go so well together.

3×3 Valentine Cards 2015

Posted on January 12, 2015 by debbrooner

It’s time for my 2015 3×3 Valentines cards. Somerset Studio had a call for sets of Valentine cards in unusual colors and I was up for the challenge. Once I got started it was hard to stop! I ended up making 12 different sets so hopefully there will be a set that will be published. I’ll post 3 sets for the next month. Enjoy!

Floral Love Panel:Silhouette: 5 Label file (31250); Background stamp: Tim Holtz “Heartfelt”

The background for these cards is a funky green, orange and black marble paper that I had never used. I’m not quite sure why I bought it in the first place but I decided to give it a try for these cards.
