Victorian Inspired Vintage Chic Romantic Amour Valentine's day Banner & Challenge at Creative Cuts

Hello Friends!!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

Today's post is all about AMOUR...or Love...but Amour sounds more lovely..lol.

Today I would like to share with you a Victorian Inspired Romantic Valentine's Day Banner that I created for our 

Valentine's Day Challenge

 at 

Creative Cutting Challenge!!

All you need to do is create a Valentine's Day themed project using an SVG file.  Then get some photos and link up!!

I can't wait to see what you create!!

On to the Banner

It is sooo hard to get a great photo of a banner in Michigan this time of year!  Actually any time of year...LOL.

I used Cindy's Heart, Cupid, and Love Svg which you can purchase for $1.00 just follow this link.  You can't pass that up!

Here are some close ups of my banner and specifically Cindy's SVG file pieces.

Yummy Delish!!  It alone would be a splendid Valentine gift.  I just love LOVE these colors.  Let me tell you how I went about creating this.  I used my Primitive Heart Pocket, for the base of my center piece, I layered in a cream scallop circle, then I added the cupid tags for my focal, and used my perfect layer's ruler to create an 1/8 inch mat around it from one of my Shabby Blue Sparrow Tail banner pieces. I  Then layered on one of my Banners, using pop dots, so the tag will slide in and out okay.  Added the letters for "Peter" from  my, 

I used Cindy's svg file and cut out the LOVE, hearts and cupid from the larger size banner pieces.  That way everything would match nicely.

See how my sweet little tag comes out.

BTW...Peter is my Sweetheart :0)

I used lots of goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon!!  Natural crochet lace, Juliet Lace, Peppermint Baker's Twine, salmon, havana brown, cream and bay leaf green seam bindings.  Buttons , and mulberry roses too!!

Banner Pieces Left to Right

Honestly each one would look great alone as a tag.

Or...just use all the same shapes and create a same shaped banner.

Chocolate Scallop Base, ivory scallop, topped with a Banners, then the cupid tags (again matted with the shabby blue like above).  Hearts cut from the Pink and Chocolate Sparrow Banner sheets.  Ivory Alphabet boxes were used to spell out "Kiss"

I used the same Art Glitters through out my project.  #261 Storm

 #208 Fauna, #349 Garnet, #162 Just Peachy, #267 Cheeky Pink and #287 Arbor as well as my Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue & Ultra fine Metal Tip.  

Pink Heart Base, Banners, Valentine Scallop Focals, and  Conversation Hearts sheets were used on this banner piece as well as the one below. I have more mulberry roses, peppermint baker's twine, and button from RRR.

I used my Bow-It-All tool to tie my bows!  

Awww...too cute!!  LOL...

Here is the last banner piece

Chocolate Scallop Base, ivory scallop, topped with a Banners, then the cupid tags (again matted with the shabby blue like above).  Hearts cut from the Pink and Chocolate Sparrow Banner sheets.  Ivory Alphabet boxes were used to spell out "XOXO"

I cut the Juliet lace, each scallop, then cut them at an angle, so they look like a little bow under my button at the top.

Vintage Bingo Bag Holder and Card, New Collage sheets.

Hello Friends!!  I hope you are having a fabulous day! Today I would like to share with you a Valentine Tag Holder that I designed using some lovely ribbons, trims and goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon!!

If you watched my video from the January Blog hop, then you would of expected this coming...LOL. I used a Big Bitty Bag Pink with Polkadots. I also used some of the lovely ribbons from this month's Sweetheart Assortment.

Above you will see the Shocking Pink Checkered Ribbon bow that I made using my Bow it all tool all tied together with some Peppermint Baker's Twine.  Below you will see my layers of ribbon, starting with the Satin Swiss Dots ribbon, topped with the  Mixed pink hearts, then a tiny bow made with Diamond Satin Hot Pink ribbon.  Tied a sweet little bow out of Peppermint Baker's Twine and glued down my Baby Pink Mulberry rose  and berrylicious button. I also used my Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue & Ultra fine Metal Tip to apply glue to my card.  I used  #208 Fauna,  #267 Cheeky Pink and #349 Garnet glitters to give it some sparkle!!

The Sally white crochet lace peeks out the one side of my little album, and I created a tie closure with the Diamond Satin Hot Pink ribbon.

One last look at the front.

This little tag holder book can hold up to 6 tags, that will peek out the top. So...I guess you can maybe guess what you will see on my next post  at Really Reasonable Ribbon....:0)  LOL Hopefully my video will upload soon and you can watch it on my youtube below.

Now for my "Sweet" card. Pink banner, Blue Banner, Chocolate Banner bases, Text Banners, Text Boxes, and Valentine Scallop Focals.

I used some more fabby ribbons and trims...from RRR! I used my Bow it all to create all three bows! I used the Dots light Pink organza and  salmon seam binding for the bow at the top.  As well as a mulberry rose in deep ivory. I also used my Art Glitter glue and applied #162 Just Peachy glitter to the pink areas of my card, #208 Fauna glitter was added to the cream areas, #261 Storm glitter was added to the chocolate area, and #287 Arbor was added to the shabby blue areas.

I also used  some more of the  salmon seam binding and some cream seam binding to create the double bow at the bottom. Another Mulberry Rose and Latte Button tied with Peppermint baker's twine.

Then I used a new fav of mine the chocolate brown seam binding for my tiny bow.  Another Latte button and peppermint baker's twine. The adorable Cupid with bow die cut you can find in  Cindy's Store: Creative point it comes with the "Love" die cut you see above as well as a heart for only $1.00.

Here are a couple close ups of her SVG file (sorry didn't use the heart yet...but all three for $1.00...great buy!!).

 Cupid with his Bow and Arrow

I used the smaller size focal...that was an accident...lol..meant to use the larger size from the set...but I had already cut it out...so I made it work :0)

Here is a look at my hidden tags :0)

I used my hearts & Cupidand valentine tags sheets below.

Here are the tags all by their pretty little selves :0)

My Artistic Adventures Challenge #2 "The First Day of Christmas"

Hello Friends!!

Welcome to the 2nd
"My Artistic Adventures Challenge"
Our 2nd Challenge Theme is
"The First Day of Christmas"
and of course you need to use elements from one of my
 Digital Collage Sheets.
Create any tangible item, Card, tag, ATC, Layout, altered art piece, Banner, pretty much anything you can come up with that is tangible.
(Sorry no digital entrees) 
and make sure you follow the theme .
So you can make a Christmas item, or something that inspires you when you hear "The first day of Christmas."
