Valentine for my husband

This Anna Griffin card was my inspiration.  As you can see, I copied it almost completely.


Card base - Anna Griffin Garden Window kit
White glimmer paper layer - Anna Griffin Soft Hues collection embossed with Embroidered Hearts folder (by Anna Griffin).  Die cut with XO die from her Lovely Impressions collection.  Pink layer cut and debossed (oops, I put the paper in upside down) with Embroidered Hearts border folder and cut with matching die.  Gold layer comes from her Metallic Card Layers collection and is embossed with Scripted Love border folder.  Ribbon is Offray Lady Chiffon Powder Pink.  The sentiment is embossed using Anna Griffon Mix and Match collection.  Instead of cutting it with the included clover die, I used Classic Circles Large and Small by Spellbinders to get my 1/8 inch steps to the pearl white sentiment layer (paper by Wausau), DCWV Glitzy gold layer and Anna Griffin Soft Hues layer in pink.
A better view of the sentiment.
Tilted to show the sparkle from the gold paper.  The card is really lovely in person.  I'm not sure the pictures convey how beautiful and decadent it is.

Good Times

I'm preparing to go away for a Girl's Crafting Weekend with some of my pals.  I've made a card to thank my girlfriend who has put all the work into coordinating our trip.
Card base and first layer are from Anna Griffin Perfect Palette.  Purple layer is embossed with Anna Griffin Woven Diamonds folder.  Lacey white layers are cut using Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight.  Glittered layer is from DCWV Glitzy stack and is cut using Spellbinders Labels Eight.  Bow is from Anna Griffin 2013 Christmas Card kit (Holiday Trimmings).  Flower is from Anna Griffin Garden Windows kit.  Sentiment is from CTMH You Are My Happy set and is stamped in Stampin' Up Smoky Slate.  Final touch was frosted glass half beads by Recollections.
