Valentine Cards

Hello,

I have been busy creating Valentine cards with the left over pieces from making my banners. I used Nestabilities and Shapeabilities from Spellbinders for some of the layers on the cards. Spellbinders has so many awesome shapes to choose form.  Some of the paper I used is from Pinecone Press. I donate the cards to my church and sell them.  The money goes towards the women's ministry for whatever is needed.
Enjoy,
Blessings, Diane

Valentine Banner

Hello,

It is a new year.  I am looking forward to some changes in my life this year.  I have already signed up to take a Adobe InDesign and a Adobe Illustrator CS5 class.  Work, school, family and crafting.  I believe I will be very busy.  I am looking forward to the classes I will be taking, as I want to be able to design more of my own paper and elements for paper crafting.  My job is hoping to utilize me more at work also to help create paper designs, project headers and more. I took some elements I found and created some of my own elements and mixed a bit of both together to create my own paper for a Valentine Banner I made.  There are so many elements to decorate your banner you can really personalize it.

One sheet of four I created.  There are two different color palettes. 

I will be teaching a class for this banner. Click this link or the calendar on the upper left for information.

Here is the beautiful banner I made.  It can be made to hang vertical or horizontal. You can also make it to sit on a table top.   Please let me know what you think.

Blessings, Diane

Valentine Card to share

Hello,
It is a wonderful Saturday here.  Super nice weather. Just warm enough to be comfortable without a sweater and no winds.  Hubby and I have spent the morning put away more Christmas decorations and CLEANING out the garage. Since I have classes in the garage I need to keep it neat and clean for all my wonderful ladies.  The past month the garage has turned into a dumping place for everything.  With everything that wasn't supposed to be in the garage now put away, the floor all washed cleaned and tables scrubbed I can have classes again.
I already feel Valentines Day coming very soon.  I am starting to make some quick cards that I can take to church and add to the cards I have up for sale.  The card sales goes towards the women's fund to help offset costs for events and retreats.  I will be posting more Valentines cards during the next few weeks.
Here is a card to share.  The papers used are from Pinecone Press.  Enjoy!

Blessings, Diane

Valentine Explosion Box

Hello,

I spent my weekend making this wonderful Explosion Box. I do still need to add photos but was too excited I finished my project I wanted to take photos to share. I used the My Digital Studio software from Stampin' Up! to create the images I added to the project. The paper is retired paper from Stampin' Up!. The explosion box was created using a blank from Pinecone Press. I love this blank because it saves me time. I don't have to make my box first to decorate. I just get to the fun of creating. I also love that is blank has pockets so you can add tags. I use the tags for journaling or adding more photos. You can purchase your own blank here.

This is the box with the lid on top. Side view of box.

Valentine "LOVE" banner

Hello,

I created this LOVE banner using the new valentine paper from Pinecone Press. I really like the soft muted colors. I did use chipboard as the base to give strength to the banner so I can use it again year after year. The papers have patterns on both sides. You can choose to use the other side pattern to give your banner a different look. I really like the Valentine Love banner.

I will be hosting a class for this project on Wednesday, February 2nd. See calendar for more details.

If your not able to attend the class I will have kits available for purchase.

Kits will cost $15.00 plus shipping.

I will get a PayPal button up in a couple of days so you can place an on-line order.

Enjoy!

Blessings, Diane
