Slimline Valentine in Lumberjack Colors!

TGIF friends! Just finished my card for Craft Roulette #251 just after the show ended tonight so thought I'd share it quickly.

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;

Hero Arts black glitter; Paper Studio Holiday

Stamps w/dies - Taylored Expressions Filled with Love

& Like Gnome Other (both retired)

Dies - AJVD Slimline Heart Window Word Cover Plate Set

Other - Recollection doilies and enamel hearts;

Copic Markers

Host Mary Gunn FUNN had Lori Craig (Make a Difference) as her guest. Lori works for OLO Markers and is on the design team at Taylored Expressions. Funny - I didn't know this about her and she mentioned it after I'd already pulled out my TE gnomes to play with. It's another case of a stamp set being retired already but I'm using it for the first time!! 

Here's what the wheel spun for us:

• Project - Slimline Card: I formed a tall slimline from cardstock.
• Colors - Lumberjack: I went with red/black like a typical lumberjack shirt.
• Element - Hat(s) or Cap(s): My gnomes have pointed hats.
• Random - Lace or Doily: I used premade doilies from Michaels (their Valentine stuff is on sale this week).

I had pulled out the slimline die set this week, planning to make another Valentine. So that worked perfectly for the CR project! Die cut it from a dark red & adhered to the card, then die cut doilies for two of the heart opening. I saved the three hearts that cut with the frame for a future card. The third doily I just left as it came out of the package, overlapping the card. It'll fit into an A9 envelope. 

Next I die cut one of the word dies in the set from black glitter paper. Stamped and die cut the gnomes, then colored with Copics. Stamped and fussy cut the sentiment (the dies with that stamp set cut conversation hearts). Added the gnomes and sentiment to the card with foam tape. Three enamel hearts finished the card.

I'll share my card at Darnell's January NBUS Challenge 70 since my gnomes are getting first play here.

Thanks for stopping and have a crafty weekend!!
