My Valentine (well one of them)

This is one of my adorable nieces holding up the Valentine goodies we made for her teachers. We had a lot of fun making them together. She has always loved spending time in my craft room, which she often reminds me "is for girls only" LOL. I look forward to the day when her baby sista (as she calls her) Emma can join in on the fun. I will share some of Jamie's worldly wisdom with you: After she had stamped two of her cards with her right hand, she starts to stamp the last one with her left hand. I told her to stop and put the stamp in her right hand because she is right handed. She told me "no I am not, I am both handed" then she looks at me and asks if I know what that means. She said "that means I can do it with both hands". Soooo, both handed it is!! I hope you have a great Valentine's Day with family, friends, or your LOVE.

Will You Be My Valentine?

If my memory serves me correctly, at our last Downline Gathering, my Upline gave us a challenge of making a card with Hearts. This was my creation. I wanted something simple but with a little bit of Pizzazz. I used the Sweetheart Punch to punch out some hearts and the best background stamp set ever - Gorgeous Grunge. I was so happy they did not retire the Happy Heart embossing folder after it was featured in last years Occasions Catalog. Stop back to see some more Valentine creations this week.

Card Organizer

This was the first class I held in 2016, a card organizer. I am going to use mine to organize birthday cards. I have a few dates filled in already, and lots more to do. I made this card with all Stampin' Up! products except for the binding system and binding comb. We used 6 pieces of It's My Party DSP to make the pages/pockets. We also used a partial piece for the front of the organizer as well. The front cover was decorated with the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set and coordinating punch. I hope you like the organizer, they are simple easy to make and would make a wonderful gift.

Love is in the Air

Our Stamp Club met last week and we made this awesome card that I CASED off of someone on Pinterest. We used the Shimmery White Cardstock, which I bought some time ago but had not even used yet. We stamped the heart image from the Bloomin' Love stamp set with Versa Mark and then we used clear embossing powder and the heat tool to create a "clear" image. We then used our aqua painters to "paint" across the heart image. To finish off the image we used the Wink of Stella in clear, I love this product. If you haven't tried it yet, you don't know what you are missing! If you need any more details or help making this card, feel free to drop me a line. If I find the original card on Pinterest, I will be sure to give the artist credit.
