Cards made with Love with Laurie Schmidlin

A great big happy Monday to you!  Valentine's Day is just one short week away and that has gotten me thinking about those in my life that I love.  :-)   I adore making cards...and especially for those that are special to me!  Nothing says I Love You quite like a made-with-heart card!

I chose some of the softer patterns from the Love Nest collection for my first card  So that it would stand out a bit from the background, I arched the vellum layer (with the Love is rub on already applied) a bit and secured it with some brads on the sides.

For my next card, I again chose some patterned paper from the Love Nest collection!  After adhering the bottom two layers together, I stamped one of the large rectangle frames (from the Fancy Frames set) using some brown pigment ink so that it covered a bit of both layers.  To create the focal point, I stamped a lovey-dovey sentiment and then added some Love Nest Glitzers to a round Love Nest cardstock journaling sticker (which I had already added some messy stitching to).
Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope your day is one that is filled with those that you love!  ~Laurie
