Those are Papertrey candles and sentiments. And the banner is from my new Tilted Banner set from Simon Says. So happy to finally have a set of dimensional banners…I really like em! I'm linking this up to their Wednesday challenge…"All Things Bright and Beautiful" (Sweet name for a challenge!) and the Monday challenge, "H is for…" the HEAT from those candles!;)
I'll be shipping off 3 Valentines with that birthday card…the first will be for the youngest granddaughter…
I really like the way this turned out using Papertrey florals and my new 'Sending' die from Simon Says. Oh, I love that one…I know I'll be using it again and again! This card follows a sketch and color recipe challenge from Papertrey's birthday celebration…
Here's the inside…
The next Valentine is for the bubbly and adorable teenage granddaughter…
The arrow is from a die set from Hobby Lobby (5 cute little arrows for only about 6 bucks after using my 40% coupon!!!) That 'hello'???…another Christmas gift to myself from Wplus9. And the tiny doily…I talked about how much I love those sweet things from MFT in my last post!
OK…almost done…the last card is for Mom and Dad…our son and his wife (the birthday girl)…they've only been married a couple years...
I was really pleased with how this one turned out, too. I've always loved that little Love Bird set from Papertrey and was hoping the wood birds would work. (I think they did!) And...I know…the DOILIES...AGAIN!?! But don't they look cute behind the cage??? I've used a few Tiny Hearts from Simon Says here and on the one above…I've been reaching for those again and again lately!
Whew!!! We made it!!! Hope I didn't keep you too long…I've just had such a good time crafting this week!!! So thanks for stopping in…hope you're having a ~happy Friday~!!!
Yay for four cards, all so fun! I love the cluster of colorful candles on the first and, and loving all the die cutting you did on these. Wonderful focal points and clusters and loving all the doilies!

ReplyDeleteWow! What a gorgeous collection of cards! It was a treat to be able to see so many different cards! Each was unique, yet each one showed your great artistic eye. I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite, but I really love how you used such great pops of color in each one. You're very skilled at combining energetic elements with beautiful crisp clean white!

ReplyDeleteOh Geri these are all so amazing and beautiful! I am adding everyone to my CASE file! I am so glad I visited your blog! I've missed your lovely work!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm wondering what kind of cool light gray PP you used - especially those polka dots! Scrumptious cards. Bet the girls get all excited wondering what their card will look like every year! I love the Sending card. It is complete and total perfection.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGeri - how wonderful to see this stunning gallery of cards, each one breath-takingly gorgeous! Happy to see you back crafting and blogging; I've missed you! My world went rather topsy-turvey over the Christmas break, with the end result being my dad passing away, so seeing your cards has lifted my spirits immensely! Loveliness to the max!
