Hello, hello! So happy to have you here! If you’re looking for the ECHO PARK PAPER BLOG HOP.. CLICK HERE!
I have two simple cards to share today using the Carta Bella DEVOTED collection! I think this collection is one of the TOP Valentine collections out there right now! Don’t you agree? Nod your head.. go on… *wink*
Give it a thumbs up, too…
*thumbs up*
YEAH!
First up is a cute heart window card. I did some layering with collection stickers to make it even better! The cute scalloped window was made by creating a 5×7 card base and cutting a scalloped heart frame from SVG Cuts Scalloped Shapes SVG Collection! This is one of my favorite ‘basic’ collections! I love shapes.. and I love scallops.. I love cookies..
Not sure where the cookies fit in there.. but still. I do love cookies!
So.. anyhow.. here’s a card!
This collection is so, so very easy to work with! And if you’re a die cutter.. it’s just AWESOME for cutting! The Carta Bella cardstock is thick and textured.. Like that soup recipe I messed up the other day.. too thick.. texture was all wrong.
But this paper.. the thick textured paper is ALL RIGHT! I just love it. Like I love those cookies I was talkin’ about earlier. Maybe a little bit more. Seems how cookies make my butt grow.. and paper doesn’t.
Next up is a simple bike card. This can be easily made with SVG Cuts’ ‘Peony Cottage’ kit! No sentiment or anything.. just think it’s really cute how it is!
Wanna know two secrets?.. You’ll never guess.
Really.
1). I love the ‘love’ print paper.
2). I also love the light blue polka dot paper.
Just in case you didn’t notice.
That’s it from me! I am the last stop on the hop so hopefully you’ve gotten loads of inspiration from the Carta Bella DT! And just in case you randomly came to my blog, here’s the hop list:

Such cute cards! I am totally smitten with the bicycle card!
Love your projects; and especially love your ‘conversation.’ Again, you have totally (as in two-thumbs up, happy-dancing, squealing – in a good way, not high-pitched) brighened my day! I’ve asked this before, but I’ll ask again: if you find yourself with ‘spare’ creativity, please send it my way. I’ll give it a good home and prpoer ‘freedom of expression.” And if creativity is not available, I’ll settle for cookies. Or, even your favourite cookie recipe. You’re awesome! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!!
