love knots stamp for a Valentine's layout in July!

Since I don't scrapbook in chronological order, it's not unusual for me that I'm doing a V day layout. For some of you, I may seem crazy. This is the card that my boyfriend sent with my flowers from Valentine's day this year.

I wanted to use the Love Knots stamp with this layout. I stamped with tin can silver ink from Prima chalk ink onto black cardstock. Isn't it pretty?

King's Island 1995. [Gelatins Stamps + Xyron]

Hello everyone! We've teamed up with Xyron this month & I've been so excited about the products they sent me. I hadn't used any Xyron products before but I'd had my eye on the Create-a-Sticker machine. 

On my layout today, I used the Xyron Create-a-Sticker. Have you seen the Press A Penny machines? 

I have a pressed quarter from our King's Island trip (back in 1995!) that I wanted to include on this page. So the Create-a-Sticker machine was perfect for adhering this!

I also attempted to run the wood veneer arrow through the machine but it was too thick.

I used the Happiness stamp set from Gelatins Stamps today. It's the dot border from the set, which I stamped multiple times & made a patterned paper. The ink is Prima chalk ink in English Ivy.

 

Have you tried the Xyron Creat-a-Sticker machine? What kind of items have you used in it?

'love knots' stamp on a 12x12 page.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I finished a 12x12 layout with my love knots stamp that I wanted to share. I love this stamp! It measures about 4x5 inches x 5.5 inches.

I used three inks in sort of an ombre efffect - red, pink, orange,yellow. Here is a close up so you can see the detail better.

It actually turned out much better than I expected! Always a happy surprise! :) For more details about my page, please visit my blog Markland & Main. Thanks for stopping by today!
