Be My Valentine

This is Elisabeth Bell's Be My Valentine, which is currently on sale! Isn't he the sweetest little boy? He was colored with copics - I added the little sentiment in the heart and the papers are Martha Stewart.

Have you checked out the Valentine sale? If not hurry on over to the Sweet Pea Store!

This has GOT to be one of my favorite images

by my favorite Sweet Pea artist
ching-chou kuik "Inner Tender" plate #42!!

Today I want to show you how to make a custom

die cut that allows you to have an image extend

beyond the edge without getting cut off when

it goes thru the die cutter.

First stamp image, then position paper with image on die

for perfect positioning and tape with low-tack tape so it doesn't move around.

Then make a light pencil mark where image goes past edges and cut that part

out, going 1/8" beyond for ease of positioning die later on.

Now put image back into die and tape down, bring cut-out parts up and lay them on back-side of die

before putting it thru machine.

For this card I used a die by Memory Box called

"elegant scrollwork"

SpellBinders die "Labels 9"

I glued a tiny jewel in the middle of her forehead.

Introducing Bella

Look this cute little bear holding a heart shaped balloon in his hands... isn't this the perfect Valentines image? Not only, it is very useful for other occasions as well like birthdays, weddings and more.

I coloured Bella with Copics. The background papers are from Authentique. The heart border die is from Magnolia and for the corners I used a die from Sizzix.

This sweetie is called Bella and is from the fabulous artist Conie Fong, available on plate # 198 together with three other cute images. But you can have Bella as single stamp as well. Conie Fong's new sheet is on pre-order now to a nice price!


Have a wonderful rest of the week!
Hugs, Karina
