Cloud9 January Blog Hop

 
 
 
Today's project was created for this month's Cloud9 Blog Hop!
We get to showcase our Wplus9 stamps and products using a beautiful inspiration photo.
I made a little Valentine gift ensemble for my sweet husband.  I'm sure I'll pick hi up an iTunes card or a little something to tuck into this pillow box.
 
 
I love the sparkle on these dimensional stars.  I thought they would be a pain to glitter, but they were so easy to do with some liquid glue and a small paintbrush!


 
I also used this simple sketch when designing my card.
 
 
Thanks for coming by today!!




Cardstock: Kraft, Cream
Stamps: WP9 Heartfelt Mix, WP9 Pocketful
Ink: Smokey Shadow
Dies: LL Ovals, Banner Die
Other: MS Glitter, WP9 Kraft Pillow Box, Fiskars Star Punch
