Happy Valentine’s Day

While at Leadership, my friends and I pass our swaps to each other. When this one was passed to me, I burst out laughing and had to take a picture! For such a simple card, it took these three stamp sets to make it:

120861 S.W.A.K. individual stamp

120308 Word Play stamp set

115060 Short & Sweet stamp set

I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die

Sue — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:27:33 +0000

I love hearts! Probably because Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday of the year. So it isn't any surprise that the 125596 Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die in the Occasion Mini Catalog is one of my favorite new products. I just love how you get five different size hearts with five different textures. No one will be bored with that Embosslits Die!

Also used for this card is the 113462 Scallop Envelope Bigz Die, the119883 Full Heart Punch and the 124005 Silver Glimmer Paper.

Children’s Valentine Idea

Sue — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:00:08 +0000

Have you been sucked into Pinterest yet? It is an electronic bulletin board, where you "pin" ideas. I said I wasn't going to join, but I was weak and broke down one night. If you do decide to join, I'm warning you that you'll need to set a timer, as it can be addictive.

I found this idea on Pinterest. The example they showed was using two different colors of paint on a child's hand. No way, did I want that mess. So I inked up my 102283 VersaMark Pad. Then I grabbed my 109129 Gold and 109131 Silver Embossing Powders and my 100005 Heat Tool. I tried to get Ashley, the two year old grandgirl, to do this project. There was NO way she was coming near me. So Amber, the four year old, was my "go to" girl. Inking up a child's hand with VersaMark is so slick. It is invisible and easy to wash off with soap and warm water. I inked up her first hand and poured the Silver Embossing Powder and heated it until it was set. Then I inked up her other hand and poured the Gold Embossing Powder and heated it.

After it cooled, I had Amber write her name. I copied some of the wording from the example on Pinterest. In hindsight, I would have written down whatever Amber told me and not copied the wording. I'm not sure how well you can read this, but here's what it says: Miss Amber loves Mom and Dad with all her heart. (I copied that). "You are the best Mom and Dad ever." "I really love you so much."

Wish me luck because tomorrow is my last chance to make this project with little Miss Two year old!

Take It to Heart

Sue — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:00:40 +0000

Here are two samples from Leadership using the 125520 Take It to Heart stamp set. This stamp set is in the Occasions Mini Catalog. It coordinates with the 125599 Hearts Collection Framelits Dies, which cut the heart shapes using the 113439 Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.

This card also features the 125596 Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die and the 125595 Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies.

P.S. I Love You

Sue — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:53:13 +0000

This card is made with the 125460 P.S. I Love You stamp set and the 125601 Adorning Accents Embossing Folder. They are both found in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I love black, white and another color, so this is a favorite card of mine!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Sue — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 10:00:55 +0000

Today is my favorite day of the year! I love, love, love Valentine's Day! And I love hearts too! I'm giddy and full of smiles this time of the year. And having warmer weather is a bonus.

I have a few samples to show you today. The first one is from my friend, Ni. She surprised me with a Valentine's card!

Black, white and red are a favorite color combination of mine. The stamp set is 118517 Artistic Etchings. And the 115964 Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder looks great with this stamp set. Thanks Ni!

On Sunday, we had our annual Valentine's party with our two oldest grandgirls. Hopefully, next year, we can have all three grandgirls. I had to make special Valentine's cards for them. The 119998 Greeting Card Kids stamp set was perfect to use, along with the 121790 Red Glimmer Paper and the 121780 Love Impressions Specialty Designer Series Paper.

This was for Brianna, who is 7. I love that she can read her cards now.

This was for Amber, who is 3 1/2. She's the pink lover, so she was thrilled.

And this was for Ashley, who is 13 months.

I hope you enjoy your Valentine's Day!

Be My Valentine

On the last page of the Occasions Mini Catalog, you'll see the 122045 Be My Valentine stamp set. My eyes were drawn to this stamp set the first time I saw it. I love black, white and another color.

Valentine Defined

Sue — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 10:00:55 +0000

I love hearts! The 121941 Valentine Defined stamp set is one that I bought right away. It has hearts on 7 of the 8 images! Can't have too many hearts in my world! This card is from a recent Shoebox Swap.

I love the attention to detail that the designer of this card used. The 113463 Sizzix Top Note die cut was made out of the 121780 Love Impressions Specialty Designer Series Paper. Over the Top Note die cut is the 119262 Whisper White 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon. She added a heart-shaped button from the 118761 Bitty Buttons on the word "love". Then she used the 119882 Scallop Edge Border Punch on the layer under the tree. And the tree! Bling-Bling! She carefully put 101055 Crystal Effects on some of the hearts on the tree. Then she sprinkled 102023 Dazzling Diamonds Glitter over the Crystal Effects.
