Tuesday with Tara {take 429} Many Hearts

Happy Tuesday friends!

Today I’ve got a sweet & simple Valentine to share- once again I’m featuring die cut hearts in a variety of colors & sizes.  I had fun arranging the glitter & foil hearts in a “random” pattern I liked for this card, but it needed a little something more.

A textured white background, created using the layered dots dies from Tim Holtz was a fun addition.  It’s a set of 3 dies, but I’ve only used the top two layers for this card (the bottom one is solid).  I finished things off with a sentiment (also Tim Holtz) stamped in purple and assorted sizes of red & purple bling scattered across the card.

I find when you are working on white, it’s nice to add some texture and I think this worked out pretty well!  You would never know the background was part of a Halloween release… I hope it inspires you to pull out some of your supplies and maybe use them for a Valentine this year!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara (take 428) Sending You Love

Happy Tuesday, friends!  This card was inspired by all the pretty new Prism Studio papers- there’s a gorgeous range of Whole Spectrum Foil Cardstock  and Whole Spectrum Glitter Cardstock.
Today I chose to showcase a trio of hearts in RUBY.  Isn’t it pretty!?  I’ve also used the Brushed Gold Foil for the die cut “love” sentiment.  I kept this card really simple, cutting 3 hearts the same size from one of the Prism Nesting Hearts dies.  I chose to let the glittery heart be the central one, though it could have gone either way!  I had a 2″ strip of Patterned Paper (from the vintage letters 6×6 pad by IO) and mounted it to the lower portion of an A2 Kraft Card.  I mounted my trio of hearts from the outside in, giving the glittery heart a 3D boost with some foam squares.
The sentiment features stamps & dies from Honey Bee’s ‘Bitty Buzzwords’ set.  I added some foam squares to the edges of the sentiment strip as well so it was level over the central glitter heart.

And here’s another photo so you can get a better look at all that shine!   I know it’s simple, but isn’t it pretty, too!?  It feels like a very classic Valentine to me!  I hope you like it too.

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 387} You’ve Bean on My Mind

My Apologies… I started typing this post for Valentine’s Day and must have been interrupted, because nearly a week later it was never published!

I’ve used some Tim Holtz dies- Cafe Colorize & Falling Hearts along with a whole lot of papers from my scrap bin in shades of red & pink.  Many of them had a bit of extra Distress Sprays & Distress Oxide Sprays added to give some fun texture!

After assembling the to-go cup, I layered it onto a tag which I inked up with Distress Ink- shades of Saltwater Taffy & Kitsch Flamingo are perfect for a muted blend, with a touch of inky splatter over it to finish things off!

In all it’s inkiness, I actually kept this card pretty much CAS, though it has a bit of grunge to it 🙂 I stamped a simple heart background (similar to this one) on the Kraft base and added a sweet sentiment (this is an older one from MFT) on the tag.

On a personal note- I’ll be taking a bit of a break from my Tuesday with Tara posts here on SNS, life is looking a bit crazy for the next while!  I’m hoping I’ll find some time to make creative things still, so watch for any tid-bits I may share on my Instagram page!   You may still see some fun throwback posts here for the next bit (I always enjoy seeing which cards Raya selects to share!) so perhaps you won’t even notice I’m away 😉

Inky hugs,

Tara
