VALENTINES HOP 14TH JAN '12

Good morning Everyone.

Today i am taking part in a Valentines Hop hosted by Nicolette.

If you have arrived here from bloggerland and would like to hop along with us then please click back at the hostess's blog HERE or if you have arrived from Kari's blog then you are on the right track to continue.

This is a 2 day hop so here are my projects for day one 

This is a little cat stamp with balloons from the Little Claire range. I have coloured in spectrum noir pens and used glossy accents to cover the cat. I then punches out 2 sizes of hearts and matted and layered them together and added them on top of the stamped balloons to change them from round balloons to hearts.

The first layer of red card has been embossed using a hearts embossing folder through my big shot. I have added different layers of card stock, edged in pinflair flexi bend peel offs, card candy, ribbon strips, bow, metal heart embellishments and glitter.

This next one is from a Hunkydory kit called Meow. I have used one of the cat cards as a template to cut out a cat shape on a larger piece of card but using the cat as a front to the card. Added bling and a bow for a collar. Added other toppers from the kit, edged it all in pinflair flexi bend peel offs and bling and bows.

This is another one from the Meow kit. Its a paw print easel card where i have added all the toppers to the paw and paw pads. More bling, bows and peel offs to set it off.

Thank you for hopping by today and i hope you enjoyed looking at my projects. Please now hop on over to  Leslie-Rahye to see what she has to show us.


I look forward to reading your comments and hope to see you again tomorrow for my day two projects.
