it's that most wonderful time of the year again...
oops...sorry, wrong holiday...
but Valentines Day is a fun fun holiday full of a few of my favorite things like chocolate and flowers and cards and...did I mention chocolate?
Today the Heidi Swapp Media team is celebrating a little early and hoping to share some inspiration with you. We want you to make something. Anything. A card. A tag. Some cookies. You get the idea. And share your appreciation with someone you might not normally give to.
I went with a classic standby...a card Valentine. Can't help myself with the new Color Magic Card sets? Are you kidding me? They are so much fun to play with and dress up and are a unique take on the traditional card.
I kept mine very simple and soft. Using the Color Magic File Set, I took to coloring all the elements the same color using Blush and White Color Shine. More on that in a minute.
After everything was colored and let to dry, I took silver twine and layed it lazily on the card and held it in place with one of the hearts from the Color Magic Chipboard Stickers. I added a few more of the hearts as well. Some splatters of the Blush Color Shine and a few dots of Zazz Glitter Glue in Parfait and it was complete.
For the color of my card, I wanted really really soft, so here is what I did:
1. Used these items.
2. Sprayed Blush and White Color Shine on my craft mat, but I went a little heavier with the white.
3. Then the Color Shine was dabbed on the using a cosmetic sponge. And you can see how extra soft it is now on the Color Magic Element.
O.K. now...I have someone special in mind to share this Valentine with...it might sound corny...but it goes to the lady who does my hair. Cause she is practically a miracle worker. And I want her to know how much I appreciate her.
How about you? Who will you share a Valentine with? Send some love to someone and you could win some goodies from HeidiSwapp.com. Create something. And then show us on instagram who you shared it with. Be sure to use the hashtag #heidiswappsayiloveyou so we can follow along. More details on HeidiSwapp.com if you have not visited there yet.
Now...let's head on over and see how Jennifer Evans is sharing her love.
And then be sure to check out the rest of the team and what they are up to today.

kiss me collection~paper cones
2.06.2012
Using the Stampin Up petal cone die cut, I have been putting together paper cones using the Kiss Me Collection by RhonnaDESIGNS.
I am officially in love with these papers.
I am officially in love with the vintage feel and nature of this kit.
I will officially be sad next week when the making and creating of all things Valentiney will be over.
1. print banner piece on cardstock.
2. fancy cut the banner.
3. ink edges.
4. cut out the heart templates.
5. punch hearts out of pattern paper and adhere to banner.
6. attach banner to petal cone.
7. adhere string of pearls on top
Not everyone has this die cut, I know. The only reason I have it is because my dear friend Bonnie let me borrow hers...after she inspired me with a cone she made for me. (an amazing talent she is).
So, if you too don't have the die, make a paper cone, follow this template, and you can have the same results.
Use tissue and fringe scissors to make an easy and quick filling. But certainly, don't forget to fill the cones with something sweet for your sweetheart.
The chevron cone was embellished with things simply found in my studio.
book paper.
netting.
burlap.
ribbon.
pearls.
use what you have.
I made a book ruffle and attached to the cone.
A string of pearls layers on top of the ruffle.
Then a little junque bow was added to the corner.
The canvas quatrefoil cone...my fave!
to embellish:
1. make lolly from vintage book paper.
2. layer sheer ribbon and coffee dyed seam binding on top.
3. starburst punch label from collage plain paper pattern. attach to the top of the ribbons.
4. snuggle the 'kiss me' flag from the kiss me printables flags n tags under the label.
5. use paper shreds (love me the kraft color) as filler to the wonderful gift you will be sharing with your valentine.
kiss me collection~junque containers
1.30.2012
first of all, i hope you have been following rhonna's fabulous and amazing 14 valentine ideas.
i truly have to say, she is ahead of her art. her creativity is spinning daily.
and the fact that she shares a wealth of her style with us these past few weeks has been such an inspirational boost to me. we are blessed that she gives so much to her community.
with the help of her kiss me collection, i have had quite the creative time decorating and gifting for valentines day...well...actually any day. i have been gifting weekly, as part of my one little word this year. and any chance to use rhonna's designs is excuse enough for me.
the printables and valentines kit were used to help junque up these containers for gifts.
it was as simple as printing the flags and valentine journal printable.
trimming them.
blinging them.
adding them to the flowers and doilies.
add to that paper flowers. sparkly tulle. corsage pins...
it has just been so easy to spark valentines this year.

kiss me collection~shadow box
1.24.2012
so when i saw the kiss me collection, i knew right away, i was going to transform this shadow box i had up with our christmas photo, and alter it for valentines.
the collage paper from the background papers is my fav pattern.
it made for a perfect mat to house the goodies i wanted to add to this frame.
once the background paper was in place, i basically treated the rest of the project like a traditional scrapbook page. added photo on a bull clip, attached the bull clip to the background.
i cut out the 'be mine' heart from one of the valentines. the edges were distressed and inked up a bit. some bling emphasized the sentiment. then it was popped up with dimensional tape.
one of my fav. fav. parts of this kit is the printables and most specifically the flags n tags page. i play with those pieces all the time. the 'yours truly' sentiment was trimmed and added to a vintage pearl topped pin. i make my own flags all the time with pearl tops. you can find fun corsage pins in the wedding floral department at your craft store. so fun.
and book paper...do you know i have a current affair with book paper...book paper rolled roses with tiny pearls in the center. just an excuse to get in touch with my feminine side.
junque bows. thank you so much, sweet margie, for encouraging my love for junque. &bows. i use them every.where. grabbed a bit of masking paper, tim holtz tissue, tulle, pearls on string, and seam binding...add any thing you want...always a perfect little touch.
rhonna has been an amazing valentines day inspiration this past week with her 14 valentine ideas...hope you have been able to catch her posts with all things for valentines decor and gifts. amazing creativity she is sharing. amazing!
also, new digital art kits are on their way this week....
