Simply Create Too - Challenge 167 - Use Heart(s)

 

For this month the Simply Create Too Design Team is looking for use of a heart or hearts. I made these super cute Corgi pups. I love these little dogs with their heart shaped bums. I wrote Be Hin' Valentine on the inside of the card, and pun on the Be Mine Valentine theme. The supper cute SVG file is from Okadee SVGs from Etsy or Design Bundle called St. Valentine's Puppies. There are three adorable puppies that can certainly be used for more than just Valentine's Day.

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper February 2021 challenge

 

Hello everyone. For my card for February I picked a fun Valentine's theme. I made up Valentine cards for my grand daughter. I used a SVG file cut from Craft Genesis. It is a very simply design - no gluing required. I used patterns paper for either the backing or top layered butterfly. Both sides have a double slot and you simply insert the lollipop. I added a Happy Valentine's Stamp to the back and will add a tag with each child's name.

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper January 2021 challenge

 

This is a new year, and while our governments are doing their best to get everyone a vaccination for the Covid19 virus we must still be careful. Wear a Mask, Wash your Hands, Social Distance. As a friendly reminder for friends and family, I created two cards. One show a Doctor (from Circuit's, Teddy Bears on Parade) wearing his mask, an the second a Covid19 virus with a mask (A SVG file I purchased on Etsy) The latter image I created two copies: one using an ugly patterned paper from my stash, and one using white cardstock for the card's back. I made stitch marks around the masks using a fine black marker. The best thing about this card is that you can utilize some of that ugly patterned paper you have around! Stay Safe everyone and join our monthly challenge

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 519 - Quick and Easy

 

This week at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 519, we are looking for a quick and easy cards. I used a simple SVG from My Scrap Chick, called Penguin Box. I modified the SVG to simply make a back for the penguin and made it into a folded card vs a box. From start to finish this card took less than 15 minutes. The longest part of the project with the actual cutting. I used scraps of cardstock from my stash. I have had my problems with "white" pens. I have tried them all. They work the day I buy them, and the next time I try...nothing! I purchased some Acrylic Paint Pens by Artistro and I think I may have my new go to white pen (for adding details to eyes, etc.
