Shabby Chic Valentine

Ive been getting my Valentine Groove On this past week making these shabby chic Valentine's Day cards. I'm loving the look; hope you do too. I found the most luscious deep pink glitter at Michael's and it shows up on almost each card. I'm loving sewing on cards too; it adds such great dimension without competing with colors or embellishments. For sale at $8 each plus shipping. Contact artfulhands@gmail.com

Before and After

Before: A cardkeeper box from Hallmark


After: A treasured gift for a dear friend

This was a birthday gift for my childhood BFF Sherri. She loved it. I loved making it. The red perfectly matches her home office wall color. The "S" is a grungboard piece that was covered with paper and inked. The rest of the pretties are flowers, bling and some scrapbook embellishments. The handle at the top is a wooden knob and the "feet" are beads I had in my collection of stuff for ages. It is proof that I CANNOT throw anything craft related away because I MIGHT need it someday. And I did and love the way they look.

Teacup Tag

Yes, why it is another tag card. This one is teetering with teacups. Crackle glazed and aged tea cups. I love the little things on this tag like the white swirl as the steam; just a bit of unused rub-ons. The scalloped edge and pearls, so delicate. The shimmering purple ribbon; love that it goes beyond the edge of the tag. I really like expanding the space by going "outside the box". The saying is embossed on purple vellum so it is sheer enough that the base paper comes thru too.

Sometimes it is a collection of little things that come together to make a great tag card.
