A java valentine!

Hello everyone! Today I'm posting a valentine card I made and sent to my folks in TX and adding to some challenges (it's been a hot minute since I've played along). I'm hoping its the start of more now that I'm settling into a new job. (Fingers crossed I stay active with creating and sharing!) Anywho... my folks and I are some coffee drinkers, so thought this would be a cute one for them! Also this the first card I've shared that isn't for a design team in a long time.

I used distress oxide inks to create the blended background. The coffee cups colored to coordinate are from Lawn Fawn (Love You A Latte Stamps & Dies). I used the chunky heart panel die from Simon Says stamp for the white layer and an older Hero Arts Die set for the sentiment and little black hearts. Covered the black hearts with glossy accents and added some sequins and gems to finish the card with a little a bling! I loved how it turned out!

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Here is a one layer thank you card I made, actually I made two for some Avon customers. They were done really quick making them great CAS cards. I will link this to A Blog Named Hero challenge.

I stamped the sentiment twice, once on the base and once on a scrap paper to mask the banner while I stamped the leaves and flowers. I added a little sparkle (which I couldn't get a good pic of) to the centers of the flowers. I also stamped some inside to carry the design.

Here's a look at the inside...
