Valentine Treat

Here is another Valentine creation I made using the Petite Pocket Bix XL.  The stamp set is from the new Ciao, Baby! from the Spring Catalog.  The printed tag wrapped around the Petite Pocket is from the Holiday Catalog from the Snow Festival Designer Printed Tags.  I inserted a Blow Pop in the pocket for a Valentine treat.

Be My Valentine

I didn't post at all in January.  My husband was in the hospital and no time to stamp, but I did make a couple cards before he got sick.  This is one I made for a swap I was in.  It is made with the new Hearts a Flutter stamp set and Hearts a Flutter Framelit Dies.  The "Be my Valentine" is from Delightful Dozen and the "Just for You" is from Tea Shoppe.  The little hearts are from the Owl Builder Punch and attached with Glue Dots.  The colors I used are Very Vanilla and the 2012-2014 Primrose Petals In-Color.  The background is made with the Fancy Fan Folder.  I used the new Borders Scoring Plate for the bottom of my card.

Valentine Holder - P.S. I Love You

It's been a while since I've posted or stamped for that matter.  My husband had surgery last month and I've been taking care of him and putting my stamping on hold for awhile.  However, I do have some things I stamped in February that I will post.  This is another Valentine holder that I made using the Scallop Envelope Die.  I cut out two of them using the Blushing Bride cardstock and trimmed off an inch on the bottom of one and used Snail adhesive to put the holder together.  I also used the 1/2" Stitched-Poly Blushing Bride Ribbon, the Modern Label and Full Heart Punch.   I used Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit Die using Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  The embossed hearts are from using the new hearts  Embossing Folder Adorning Accents.

Sprinkled Expressions

Sprinkled Expressions

This is one of the cards that I made with the Sprinkled Expressions Sale-a-bration set.

The colors I used are Rose Red, Regal Rose and Whisper White.  The accessories I used are the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch.  I also used the new Textured Accents Embossing Folder with hearts.



Take It to Heart - Love Story

Love Story

This is a card we did at a workshop yesterday. The original idea was from another demo, Kay Kalthoff, but I I added the Adorning Accents Heart Embossing Folder in the middle of the Very Vanilla card stock.  The stamp set is Take It to Heart from the Occasions mini catalog.  The base of the card is Basic Black and I attached the Basic Black 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon down the center.  The new Heart Framelits from the Occasions are very easy to use in the Big Shot on Tab 2 of the Mulitpurpose Platform between two cutting pads. The red heart is made using Cherry Cobbler card stock and the silhouette stamp is made with Very Vanilla.   The verse on the banner  is from the Simple Said stamp set and trimmed with the Cherry Cobbler marker and cut out with the Paper Snips and attached to the front of the card with Dimensionals.  I also added Pearls to the Cherry Cobbler heart.

Doily Heart

The colors in this card are Soft Suede, Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler.  With Valentine's just around the corner, I seem to be using a lot of Cherry Cobbler card stock and ink.  It is one of my favorite colors so I used it for the base of my card.  The Soft Suede card stock was used in the Textured Impressing Embossing Folder Elegant Lines.  I used the new Framelit Die Hearts Collection and the Large Sizzlit Die Paper Doily which are both in the Occasions Mini.  I used two different stamp sets, one is new from the Occasions Mini and it is called Take It to Heart using the small heart in the center.  The other set is called With All My Heart using the stamp "with all my heart."  I used my Movers & Shapers magnetic Modern Label and coordinated punch.  The ribbon is 1/2" Scallop Dots and of course, it is Cherry Cobbler.

Sending a Kiss

This is a little 3" x 3" card I made using the S.W.A.K. A la Carte stamp and also the Petite Pairs stamp set using "sending a KISS" stamp.  The colors I used were Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.

P.S. I Love You - Cupid

A stamping friend of mine was over today and loved this card so I thought I would post it to my blog.  It is a Valentine card that I made using the new stamp set P.S. I Love You from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  The card stock I chose for the base of the card was Cherry Cobbler.  Then I added a layer of  Blushing Bride, and then Very Vanilla.  The ribbon is the unique 1/2" Blushing Bride Stitched-Poly Ribbon with stitched edges.  The hearts were stamped with Blushing Bride and the cupids were stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink.  I used the 1 3/8" Circle Punch and the 1" Circle Punch and used Dimensionals to attach to the front of the card.

Valentine Crush

I love Stampin' Up!'s cardstock colors Concord Crush and Wisteria Wonder together.  I combined several stamp sets with this card.  First I stamped Delicate Doilies stamp set onto the Wisteria Wonder cardstock using Concord Crush ink.  Then, I used Hello Doily stamp on Whisper White.  I cut it out with my Paper Snips but also trimmed the edges of the doily so that it would fit onto the Wisteria Wonder and attached to a folded  Concord Crush card.  I stamped "Love You" on Wisteria Wonder cardstock and used the Framelit Hearts Collection to cut out the heart.  I cut out another heart but this time using Concord Crush cardstock.  I layered the two hearts together and attached to the center of my card with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I'm having fun making lots of valentines with my new Stampin' Up! stamps and accessories.

P.S. I Love You Holder

This is a cute little holder I made using Stampin' Up!'s Bigz Die Scallop Envelope #113462 and the new set P.S. I Love You in the Occasions Mini 2012.  It's made with Elegant Eggplant cardstock and Whisper White. The Designer Series Paper is the Elegant Eggplant from Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack #117154.  The holder is large enough to hold a Slim Pack of Gum, or 3" x 3" gift cards, or even a Ghirardelli Chocolate Square.  Your sweetheart will love this treat holder!

Cherry Cobbler Valentine

This is my first card made using the new stamp set Take It to Heart from the Occasions Mini Catalog. The cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, one of very favorite colors and Whisper White. I also used Cherry Cobbler ink. I used the new Large Sizzlet Die called Paper Doily and one of the new Adorning Accents Embossing Folders
