I’ve been busy in the craft room. So far I’ve kept my intention to made a card every day in February. Over the next few days, I’ll be posting regularly to enter some of the cards in the current love-themed challenges.
The first for today is a card for the “Be Mine, Valentine” challenge at The Card Concept.
One of my favorite color combinations is red, white, and black so this was a good fit. (I’ll be back soon with another entry for this challenge.) You can see a hint of the inside of the card which was layered with some black and white striped paper. The sentiment was stamped on three of the white stripes. (Forgot to take a photograph of that!) This fits the Layered CAS style for that challenge.
Card Supplies:
Card stock: Neenah, True Black
Patterned Paper: Bitty Big Pure Poppy (PTI)
Stamp: Infinity Frames (PTI)
Dies: Block Numbers (PTI), Heart (Spellbinders), Stripes Impression Plate (PTI)
Next up is a card for two challenges. This is my second entry to the Addicted to CAS challenge: Ombre.
I’m also entering it in the CAS on Friday challenge: Hearts.
I fell in love with this die when I was at Impress Stamps in Seattle. This is a close replica of the card they had displayed on one of their shelves. I ink-blended a variety of colors from light pink to red and die cut the hearts from it. After die cutting the hearts again in the white card, I inlaid all the hearts in an ombre pattern.
Card Supplies:
Card stock: Neenah
Stamp: Everyday Sentiments (Sugar Pea)
I’m also entering the first card in the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: With Love.
Both are stunning cards. Clean crisp lines in both & great colour combinations.
The first card feels very nautical to me! Love the second one – are all those tiny inlaid hearts as much work as I think they would be???
Oh my! I LOVE BOTH of your cards! You’ve done a wonderful job & what a challenge for yourself! I know what it’s like, as I have been working away here on Valentines for days now! LOL HAVE FUN!!!! ;)<3
The stripes make me think of a French t shirt I have. That’s a great way to emphasize who’s #1! I bought a few heart items at Impress a week or so ago. What a variety of ideas and cards to get your inspiration going, right?
I love the CAS look to your card. Remind me of a Ralph Lauren design! Just beautiful! Thanks for joining us at The Card Concept.
These are both just stunning! Love all the hearts! Thanks for playing along at CAS on Friday Challenges! Crafty hugs Linda
Thanks for joining us at CAS on Friday! Your card is so lovely, the die is really great… love it 🙂
Super fun inlaid dies on your ombre card – Thanks for joining in at ATCAS I was completely drawn to the first card with those awesome stripes going on! Great masculine card.
Oh, I love the white to dark pink. Fabulous CAS card. So glad you joined us at ATCAS this week

I love both of these cards too! The heart one is a fantastic graphic design, and those ombre hearts are beautifully executed! Thanks for sharing this with us at The Card Concept this week!
Wonderful cards! Hope the card-a-day is still going strong. I’m thinking of trying for a scrapbook layout a day in March.
Stunning … I have no idea how you managed to do all those little hearts. So pretty and stylish.
