One Crazy Stamper February Challenge

We're starting another month off with a brand new challenge on the One Crazy Stamper blog!  February's challenge is "Red, White & a Die Cut".  Well, there are a lot of Valentine possibilities with this one, but I wanted to show off the brand new release from Art Impressions.  This gal is one of the "Vintage Vixens", which are all retro images with fun sayings.  Here is The Queen Set (Sku #4591):

 I layered two Spellbinder's dies to create the black frame, and then I fussy cut around my Vixen and popped her up on pop dots.  I die cut the sentiment and popped it up as well.  Here's a close up:

Found in the One Crazy Stamper store:

Funky Valentine

Yes, this is my version of a funky valentine.  I've been quiet on my blog - I've been busy trying to work ahead on my commitments, so I took time out tonight to start making valentines for my family.  I loved the inspiration photo at the Fusion Challenge, so I used both it and their sketch to come up with a valentine for my son.  This was fairly quickly coloured - so excuse the less than stellar colouring job, but my 19yr old son is not going to notice how well blended my shades of red are (smile).  I love how this turned out - especially the non typical valentine colour combo:

Patterned papers are Head Over Heels collection, Bo Bunny; Stamp set is Wings of Love, Verve; Pennant banner die, Verve; Copic Markers; Cardstock is Ruby, White Daisy, Pear & Black, CTMH.

Have a Heart Challenge

We have a brand new challenge for you on the Art Impressions blog today - "Have a Heart"!  We want to see a heart on your project.  I am using the sweet Tina Set (Sku#4215) on the outside, along with a bunch of hearts that I cut out with my Cricut, and a smattering of pastel coloured sequins:

 And on the inside I stamped Valentines (Sku#4366) with a little die cut heart:

Let me take a selfie!

 It's my day to post on the Art Impressions blog!  I am using one of the Ai Girlfriends sets today: Picture Perfect Set (Sku #4130).  I did a little paper piecing, and made a die cut frame for one of the three sentiments that comes with the set:
