Pretty Hearts Card Made Easy …

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Can you believe it’s the last day of January!? Well … Let’s Celebrate that!  And we’ll start by saying “Thank You” to the ladies who participated in my crazy puzzle challenge; Cindy and Pam … You Did Good and I hope you had fun. Watch your mail boxes (wink, wink) because I have a cute card and a little gift coming your way.

Speaking of cards, yesterday I shared the exciting news about the Coordination Product release so today I’d like to share one of the products that will be released in just a few days …

Let me introduce you to the “Pleased As Punch” Designer Series paper that coordinates with 4 products in the Mini Catalog. I choose the hearts in honor of the upcoming Valentine Day holiday.  I picked the hearts with the flower pattern on them and you can see that I decked them out with the “Share What You Love” pearls. And just so you know, the pretty gingham back ground paper … is the flip side to the hearts!

I used the scallop punch to add a black mat behind my “pink” heart creating the focal point. I grabbed my January 2020 Paper Pumpkin and used the “coordinating” stamp to add my greeting directly onto my heart punched from the “Pleased As Punch” Designer Series paper.  The cute little flower sequins are also from the paper pumpkin … it added the perfect touch to complete my card.

Do you notice a “theme” going on here … your right, the magic word is coordination.  The new designer paper coordinates with the Heart Punch pack and the Jan. Paper Pumpkin kit.  I love that this just really stretches out your dollars spent on crafting.

Thanks so much for stopping in on your Friday to visit with me. Hope you enjoyed the “sneak peek” into the “Pleased As Punch” Designer Series paper.  Click on the links below for more information on those products.

Have a wonderful weekend ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Did you know that today is National Puzzle day? So … I thought we would have some fun today along with the cute card I have to share with you!

Let’s see how many of you can discover the hidden words in my puzzle.  I have chosen a specific number of “terms of stamping endearment”.  Can you guess what that number is?  Here’s a hint … it is the number of years that I have been a demonstrator.

So … join in on the fun see if you can solve the puzzle, or just write down as many as you can find.  Win a special little gift from me along with a beautiful “hand stamped” card.   Words are horizontal, vertical, diagonal and could be spelled backwards.  Let’s Play …

While we are celebrating National Puzzle Day … here is a cute puzzle card that we made last year at my Spring Stamping Retreat….

We stamped the greeting from the Love you to pieces stamp set and cut it with the amazing Puzzle Pieces dies.  This not only cut out the heart, but cuts it into puzzle pieces.  It was truly one of my favorite stamp sets last year (and why I featured it at retreat).  Click on the images below to enlarge the view and get more information about the product.

You will find the “wood” look paper in our Pressed Petals Specialty Designer paper … very pretty! The cute little hearts behind our greeting comes from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. Yes, I just featured those the other day CLICK HERE to view!

Thank you for stopping by today, good luck with the puzzle!

Have a FUN Day!!
