Sue Wilson Embossed Love card for Dies R Us

Hello, I have Valentine's/Love card today.  I had some great nesting square dies in from my Dies R Us stash and I thought I would mix and match for interesting layering.  I used velvet, metallic and textured card stocks for more interest.

I was really impressed with the beauty of the metallic paper embossed by the Sue Wilson die.  I took the small squares and placed them over the center rose in the heart die.  I taped them down for accuracy and embossed them in my Sizzix Big Shot.

I purposely turned them in various directions on the card.  I also cut the sentiment in the metallic.

Cricut Love with Bitten by the Bug 2

 Hey there bloggy friends.  It's time for another Bitten by the Bug 2 challenge.  This time our theme is Valentine's or Hearts.  I created a couple of simple cut cards.  

My first card really pops because of the intricate cut layered on top of a super pretty glitter paper.

I added a bit of black ink to distress the edges.

And my experimental card...It looked a little plain so I added liquid pearl accents.  My husband really liked it. I wish the pearl lines was smoother.  They did add and elegance and detail that was not previously there.

Ingredients:

Cricut Simple Holiday cards

various card stock
