Lips Lips Lips


Hi everyone! How are you all today?!

Just a quick reminder before today's post that the beyond-awesome Made With Love Blog Hop is still going on for a full week! Scroll down or click here to start with all the fun, hop around and a chance to win some *incredible* prizes!!



I'm sad to see the end of my 14 Days of Valentine's Cards series, but at least that means I can share a whole bunch of other projects that couldn't get posted in that time! Today I'm sharing a sweet gift card holder I made using the Gel-à-Tins SWAK (Sealed With A Kiss) set.

In my head I envisaged a cute card that could be given to a girlfriend, maybe with a spa or beauty voucher/gift card tucked inside:



Pretty huh? And so easy to do!



I started by stamping one of the lip images onto my Stamper's Select White card base using A:Muse inks in Grapefruit, Cherry, Heather, Grape and Watermelon.



I then added some Glossy Accents to one of the lips and sprinkled with Martha Stewart Crystal Fine glitter for a pouty lip gloss look! If you're wondering how I got such accurate coverage, it's because I used a pin to 'pull up'/shape the Glossy Accents before it dried!



All that was left was to add a suitable sentiment from Flipping Out using Versafne Onyx Black ink. I chose to add this on a strip of cardstock with scored edges to add a fun accent.

I'd love to know what you think of this cute little card! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

I laughed out loud literally when I saw your card. I published a lips card today too. I love the gradients on the crisp white.

Hee hee! Before I read the post, I wasn't sure if you had stamped the lips or if you had stamped it in lipstick (that would be cool, too). Your card turned out so fab, Taheerah!

I thought it was lipstick too! How cool!

LOVE that you were able to find so many "shades of lipstick!" Fantastically graphic, this is : ) I looked at the lines in the lips to see if they were all the same or not ... yep, it's a stamp!
