Happy Valentine's Day

Hi everyone,

Hope you are having a great day!
When I was thinking about sending my daughter and fiancé a little something for Valentine's Day I started with creating 2 treat bags using the Lawn Fawn Goodie Bag die. These were the first 2 bags:


I decided to show them to some of my work colleagues and that was the start of something big! I ended up making about 30 bags in total and filling them with Hershey Kisses. Here are some of my creations. I apologize for the not so good photos as I took them in my office but I must say that the setting was less than ideal.
Anyways here they are:

Lawn Fawn Goodie Bag die
Lawn Fawn Heart dies

Hello there,

I'm just sharing a card today that I created for the Online Card Classes - Clean & Simple 4 from a technique that Jocelyn Olson shared in class - Layered Embossing Paste Technique.


Here's my card:



I started with added a mix of watercolours on 2 corners. I then heat set the colours so I could move on to adding the white embossing paste over my stencil. I set that aside to dry thoroughly before adding another stencil of leaves to each corner but this time using translucent embossing paste. When that was dry I realized it didn't show up very well so I added some metallic ink with a sponge dauber. I the n die cut 2 vellum butterflies and then added my sentiment which I die cut twice, once in red and once in white.
Added some twine and some sequins and there you have it!

Thanks for stopping bye,

Judy
