The sweet day has come and gone and I hope your Feb. 14th was wonderful! I'm playing catch up on many things...laundry, housecleaning, blogging, assignments, orders, errands, etc. and it's such a great feeling. Today I'll catch you up on a few belated Valentine projects...it's never too late for love, kisses, and buttons is it? This first card is a little something that I love and had so much fun with. It was created for Emma's Paperie color challenge.
I mentioned a few posts back about my fetish with Glubers and this project uses one to help hold all of the special goodies together in order to make a dimensional heart collage. The Gluber works great as the base adhesive and holds so strongly. Once I had my base layer of buttons firmly in place, I layered on the toppings and continued to form the shape of my heart by using liquid adhesive, buttons, brads, pom poms, a wooden spool, and gems. A complete supply list for this card can be found HERE at Emma's Paperie.
This card was also created for Emma's Paperie and was created with oodles of American Crafts products.
A complete supply list for this card can be found HERE at Emma's Paperie.
Next up are a couple of Valentine treat pails. This first pail uses Basic Grey's Kissing Booth collection and some sweet-as-can-be floral trim by American Crafts...I think it's going to be my next favorite thing!
On this second pail I used Crate Paper's Paper Heart collection. I don't want to put it away and am so glad I got to enjoy it a bit before Valentine's Day passed on by.
Thanks for visiting!
X's and O's,
Melis
So pretty! I love Valentines.
