Valentine Card and Roses

Another Valentine Birthday Card made using the Heart Pivot Die by Karen Burniston. This card made for a friend who's Birthday is on Valentine Day. The card is made using red cardstock and pattern paper the decorations. The greeting and birthday cake are stamps used by Stephaine Barnard (The Stamps of Life).

When it comes to Valentine Day, how can you not have roses. I made some roses with coffee filter and dye them with orange/red acrylic paint. Love how the colour turned out.

Birthday Heart Card

After watching these Youtube videos of Karen Burniston introducing her new line of pop-it-up. I couldn't wait to get my hands on those dies. I ordered a few from Elizabeth Craft Designs, gosh does E.C.D have a lot to offer from that website. Don't you just wish you got all the money to order everything you want.

Anyhow, once I got them in the mail I couldn't wait to start...but just didn't know where to start. My creativity for card making isn't all that good, but I would love to try. Especially from watching all of Karen Burniston's video, she made it so easy, and everything she picks seems to match/coordinates perfectly. Well, I thought I'll do birthday cards since I have a some friend's birthday coming up.

I used the Heart Pivot Card die to make the birthday cards since the month of February is also Valentine's Month. So it's a good idea to combine the both.

I first tried using plain cardstock, but it didn't turn out as nice as I would want them, even with the touch of pattern paper here and there. So I discard that idea.

Then I tried using pattern paper cardstock, and it turned out to be ok. I glittered a few hearts with red and gold sparkles to add as deco to the card just to give it some more colour. As for the stamps, they are from Stephanie Barnards's Stamp of Life Collection.

Here are both of the cards.
