Heartfelt Love Notes| January 2018 Paper Pumpkin

I absolutely love creating Valentine's Day crafts and this month's Paper Pumpkin kit was perfect! It gives you a nice break from the traditional red and pink with copper, black, Flirty Flamingo, and Rich Razzleberry. The kraft envelopes and copper metallic-edge ribbon add a fun, upscale look and - not gonna lie - I love the way these projects turned out. Great for guys or girls, these classy valentine treat/pockets are perfect for sharing this Valentine's Day.

Pink & Purple Coffee Cafe

Happy Tuesday! I haven't posted quite as often as I usually do, however, it's because I have been crafting up a storm preparing lots of upcoming projects and video tutorials! 

Today's project is a fun combination of the Coffee Cafe Bundle and the pretty Painted With Love Designer Paper! I also added a touch of the new Heart Happiness stamp set to the mix.

Measurements
Card base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"
gold foil layer 3.75" x 5"
powder pink layer 3.5" x 4.75"

Helpful Tips:

• Add some metallic elements, in this case, gold foil sheet + a metallic enamel shaped heart. This helps add some glitz to the design!
• Try adding your ribbon in a different way. I drapped the ribbon in a "z" shape behind the focal image. This created an element of fun and added some texture.
• I used Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper for the foamy bit of cream. I love the sparkle of this paper! Gorgeous!
• NEVER send a naked envelope! Jazz up your envelope with some stamping and designer paper.

Bloomin' Love Valentines
