Valentine Baker

If you are a long time follower of my blog you may recognize this little baker from last year. I love stamps that I can pull out year after year. This is from In Style Stamps called Patty Love. I guess this stamp could be for a birthday or Valentine's Day. I am using it for a Valentine's Day card. I colored her with copics and then added a bit of sparkle to her cupcake. I embossed the pink layer with a Sizzix Valentine #4 folder. The patterned paper is more of the WRMK Love Struck pad. I finished it off with some baker's twine and a big, pink button.

My First Valentine

Not only is this my first Valentine's Day card for 2012, it is also my first entry into the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  If you'll remember one of my goals this year is to try more challenges. No better time to start than now.
I stamped the image from In Style Stamps called Patty Love. I colored her with copies (using my favorite color combo, pink and brown) and then added a little sparkle to her chain of hearts. I layered the image on to a Nestabilities heart circle. The two hearts in the corner are actually from the die. I added a pop of green to go with the Fancy Pants Hearts and Dots Bracket paper--left from last year. I used my new Sizzix embossing folder on the green card stock--got a feeling you will be seeing a lot of that embossing! I finished the whole thing off with some wonky zig zag stitches, I love how it ties it all together.

Cupcakes anyone?

This cupcake cutie is from In Style Stamps. I stamped her and then colored her with copics. The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Life of the Party (that's a mouthful, huh?) I added some baker's twine and a button topped flower.

For the inside of the card I stamped the image again and added the Happy Birthday sentiment.
This is actually my first project as the June hostess for the Paper Craft Planet Color Challenge Group. You can find all the details here.
