My sweet friend Maria gave me Poppystamps Seed Snowflake Joy a long time ago and I love how versatile it is. The J and the Y can be used with the snowflake or separately. I die cut the angel from CN9 pink glitter I've hoarded for years. It's gorgeous when the light hits it! You can get an idea from my IG video. I brushed the white letters with Memento Angel Pink and stacked them 2 high. I glued the angel to a vellum oval and then attached everything to a panel embossed with SSS Holiday Greenery folder. The thin mat was inked to match. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
Years ago another sweet friend, Cat, gave me a wonderful American Crafts Valentine pad. I love the papers and have used some, but I struggle using printed papers. A video by Juliana Michaels for the current Craft Your Stash event gave me just the inspiration I needed.
I pulled out 2 papers I liked together and cut them like she did. The seam was covered with white and pink thin grosgrain ribbon--also in my stash for years. Love SSS Simple Valentine's Day die and knew it would work for this design. Tried a few options and decided on a shimmer vellum shadow with light pink letters stacked 2 high. Then I pulled out various flower dies and thought the smaller one from SSS Dreamy Daisy Layers worked best. The solid layers were inked light pink and the detail layers were die cut from the same shimmer vellum. I attached the layers purposely not lined up and added the white centers brushed with a shimmer pen. Really love how this one turned out! I'm going to use some of the other papers while I remember what to do with them. 😊 I'm entering SSS Monday and Word Art Wednesday.
Two different holidays, two fabulous makes! I love your pretty pink angel!
