LOVE.......

is in the air!

Yep, today is Janaury 16 and, before you know it, Valentine's Day will be here.

Today I finally got some time to play a bit with the new Valentine's stuff that I ordered. I've been waiting to try out the new glimmer paper and the Filled With Love stamp set.

Here's what I came up with:



Cute, huh???

It was really very simple to do.
I started by running my Whisper White cardstock through the Big Shot using the new Framed Tulips embossing folder. (I can already tell this one will be getting a LOT of use!)

I then used the Stampamajig to position my central image, the word LOVE stamped in 3 different shades of color: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, and Real Red. I think it's the subtle change in shading that really makes this card POP! I finished it off by punching a small heart from the red glimmer paper and placing it in the center of the O.

I LOVE this card and it was really simple!

By the way, I have to give you my personal review of this glimmer paper. I have to start by saying that I was REALLY sceptical. I have tried glitter paper before and I ended up with more glitter in the package and on me than there was on the paper. This paper is NOT like that! The glitter is nice and large and is really stuck to the paper! My own kids could tell the difference. My son, who tells it like it is, said that this paper was much better than the other glitter paper I have tried before. If you are one of those people who likes bling and glitter, you should definitely give this stuff a try!
