Love You Forever - Tina McDonald Guest Designer

Hello!! I'm Tina McDonald and I'm So thrilled to be here as a guest designer for Quietfire Design!! Today I have 3 cards to share with you using the Calligraphic Love Bits, Item #5699. My plan was to create "a" card... but when I got going, I just couldn't stop at one!! I'm STILL coming up with ideas and creating more cards with this set, so feel free to stop by my blog once in a while to see the other creations I'll be sharing throughout the month. And with Valentines Day just around the corner, my projects will have a LOVE theme to them!!

So, let's begin!!

LOVE YOU FOREVER

For my first creation, i went with clean and simple. I ADORE how elegant these stamps are,  I didn't want my design to take away from that. So I kept it simple.

How to create this:
1. Trim and score black card stock to create card base. Trim white card stock slightly smaller. Adhere. Stamp sentiment using Black ink onto bottom right corner.
2. Trim silver embossed paper and adhere to top 2/3 of the card front. Trim thin strip of black card stock and adhere along bottom of silver paper.
3. Add red mirrored heart stickers.

For my second design, I went a bit more layered and colourful!! A bit more trendy in style.
