It’s a new month, plus it’s February, so I had fun making a Cupid-themed DT card for the challenge at QKR Stampede. Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself?

This easel card front is made with an upcycled wedding card (I love the almost invisible LOVE sentiments). Sparkly stickers add bling, and the adorable Cupid at center stage will surely brighten someone's day.

Supplies: 

·   Easel Card- Instructions found HERE  (But I started with a vertical card base to add height so the balloon could hover in the air!)

·   Digi- Eureka Digital Stamp (Cupid Balloon Holder) Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiment- Eureka DS (Happy Valentines Day) Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted

·   Upcycled card front, heart stickers, and other items from my stash

The current challenge at Scribbles Designs has a penguin theme so I just had to make another card using my favorite Scribbles Designs penguin, named “Brrr”! In this digi Brrr holds a clock. And since both a front and rear view of Brrr are available, I just had to make a card with an open frame front! It was a bit tedious, but I created the countdown on my computer, cut the numbers out, adhered them to gold circles (made with a punch), and positioned them on the card. A smattering of sparkly stars extends the celebration to the inside of the card. 4-3-2-1 Happy New Year!!

Supplies: 

·   Front Digi- Scribbles Designs (Brrr Clock- Front)

·   Inside Digi- Scribbles Designs (Brrr Clock- Back)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens

·   Gold Dot Background-upcycled from an old card

·   Sentiment/background paper- “Happy New Year” eyeletoutlet.blogspot.com from the Freebies Section HERE

·  Inside Sentiment- "10-9-8… Happy New Year! - Computer Generated

·   All other items from my stash.

My final card features another sweet digi from Scribbles, a free reindeer named Rudy! Poised atop the Reindeer Names Subway Art, a layer of bright red glitter adds some bling to Rudy’s  nose (and the “o” in the name Rudolph). And googly eyes add a little bit of fun!
