How To Make Masculine Valentine's Card Polkadoodles DT #polkadoodles

Happy Saturday!
Hi all crafters. 

It's Monika here with a super cute Valentine's card.
Not every Valentine's card has to be pink and red, right? That's why I decided to experiment with colours and I made my Valentine's card blue, I simply could not resist. That super adorable bunny from 'Love You This Much' is just perfect for quick and unique Valentine's projects. For the background, I used a cutting die from my stash and the design paper from 'Just lovely - Honeypie ...'collection. If you are looking for amazing sentiments, check 'Just lovely - 31 greetings' bundle, it is a fabulous collection perfect for a variety of projects.

Have you started your Valentine's cards this year?

Happy crafting!

Art Deco Cascading Card The Great Gatsby collection #relativelythoughtful

Happy Thursday!

Hi all crafters! 

It's Monika with another shaped card. I decided to use The Great Gatsby collection to create a cascading card this time. 
It is a fun fold-shaped card, and as it has some shapes and diagonal lines already in style, I decided to play with the design paper in the Art Deco style. As you know, Art Deco is all about shapes and geometry, and symmetry is a key feature as well; therefore cascading card is just a perfect choice. As you probably know, shapes and shaped cards are my favourite elements in cardmaking and "The Great Gatsby" collection is perfect for having fun with symmetry and geometric patterns.
What's your favourite art style?".

Thanks for fluttering by!

Happy crafting!

How to make a Special Valentine's Card Polkadoodles DT

Happy Thursday!

Hi all crafters. Here is Monika and I want to share with you my first Valentines project this year with you. 

I used my favourite collection called Barista Coffee/Cake and I coloured in the girl using alcohol markers. Just for that extra embellishment, I used a cotton ribbon and attached it under the die cut heart. The flowers come from the Barista collection and the design papers from Winnie Wonderland Paper Heaven 5. I think the design on the paper adds beautiful elegance and makes the project more special.
Have you started your Valentines cards this year?
