Stealing Hearts Card With Angels Hearts and Memories

Are you ready for Valentine's Day?! No? Don't worry...You still have a few more days to find the perfect gift. Like a handmade card. Nothing says love like a homemade gift.

I've been getting a little help in preparing from Angels Hearts and Memories Etsy Shop. Angela released the cutest images for Valentine's Day. 

This one is a Heart Burglar. She is cute enough to steal anyone's heart! 

Little Miss Heart Burglar is colored with Copic markers and has high lights that were added with a white gel pen. I decided to go with non traditional burglar colors (black) and do something fun. Purple is fun, right? V09, V06, V04, and V1 is my favorite Copic combonation. Which is what I used on Little Miss Heart Burglar. 

I used E04, E11, E00, E000, E0000 and R20 for her skin. This is my go to skin combo. I start with E11 and color just where I want my dark shadows. Then I take E04 and go over the E11. Not extending passed the E11 lines. After that I use E11 once more, go over E04 and extend the shadow out just a bit. From there I extend the shadow out further with E00. Followed by E000 and then E0000. R20 is used for the blush. Once I am finished coloring the skin, I go back with E11 and E00 and put another layer down. This adds more depth to the image. 

The hearts and the Heart Burglar's lips are colored with R83 and RV00.

Her hair combo is E49, E29, YR24.

Smooch Word Shaped Card with The Cutting Cafe

Hi everyone! There's only a week left to get your Valentine's projects/shopping done.
The Cutting Cafe can help you with making that special card.

Regina, the owner has LOTS of Valentine card files.

Here's one I made for inspiration.

I used the Smooch Word Shaped Card. The Smooch Word Shaped Card comes with the lips and also comes with sentiments. 

I cut the word and layers out with my Cricut Maker. You don't have to have a fancy cutting machine though. The Cutting Cafe also has the files in PDF form. 

I cut the lips out and embossed them with a sticky embossing powder. After embossing, I added red glitter to the lips. 

The heart was a Cricut file. 

I had the card finished in about 20 minutes. You can't be that! 

I am going to run for now. Be sure to check out The Cutting Cafe Blog on the 7th. You are sure to be inspired by what the rest of the Design Team makes. If you leave a comment on the 7th blog post, you will be entered in a chance to win 3 free files from The Cutting Cafe. 

Thank you for popping in for a visit! Have a craftastic day!

Steampunk Valentines Card With Angels Hearts and Memories

Hi there! So excited to share some more Valentine inspiration with you. 

This Steampunk Beauty is from Angels Hearts and Memories Etsy Shop. 

Steampunk is one of my favorite styles. I love the metal, gears and rough rust. Strolling through steampunk boards on Pinterest is so inspiring! 

When I saw this Steampunk image I just had to color her. She is colored with Copic markers. 

Copics used...

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000

Hair: E49, E29, E25

Pants: E35, E33, E31

Boots: E49, E29, E25, E33, E31, E51

Top: R89, R59, R29

Goggles and Bustle: E53, E51, E50

I love the Steampunk Clothing style too. It's not something I'd wear everyday, but it sure would be fun to dress like this for a party. 

We saw some people dressed in Steampunk style at one of the craft bazaars we did this winter. I thought it was so cool! It was the first time my Mom had ever seen or heard of Steampunk. 

I made the belt with a piece of thin red cardstock, a Tim Hotlz belt buckle and brad.

I Heart You From The Cutting Cafe

Good morning! I've got some Valentine's Day inspiration for you today. The great thing about today's inspiration...it's from The Cutting Cafe. That means that not only is the card going to be super cute, it is going to be quick and easy to put together. 

Regina, the owner of The Cutting Cafe, has tons of Word Shaped Cards. I used the I Heart You file to make my card. 

I turned on my Cricut Maker, cut out the I Heart You outline and singles, put some pretty ribbon on the heart, put them on the card and was ready to go in 25 minutes. 25 MINUTES! 

In 25 minutes I had this adorable card ready to go. That is less time (and money) than I would have spent if I would have drove into town to pick out a Valentine's Card. Plus, it's always better if you make it yourself =) 

These Word Shaped Cards are perfect for those last minute "Mom, I need a birthday card for so and so tonight." All of us Moms out there know this happens...FAR TO MUCH in my house. I ended up making a bunch to have on hand for this reason. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Enjoy your Sunday and don't forget to stop by The Cutting Cafe Blog to see today's  Word Shaped Cards inspiration from the rest of the team.
