Simply Sunday: Just for You

Posted in 2018-19 Annual Catalog, 2019 Occasions Catalog, 2019 Sale-A-Bration, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.  On my last post I promised to share a card that featured the Grapefruit Grove Foil paper that is in the Sale-A-Bration catalog… well, today is the day, and you will not be disappointed. It also features the Meant to Be Bundle and I’m introducing the beautiful Floral Romance Specialty Designer paper.

The beautiful background is the Floral Romance Designer paper … but this pattern is actually “vellum” and oh so pretty! This lacy background works perfectly with our hearts.  Today I’m using the largest of the heart, and like yesterdays die … this one also cuts 2 heart – the plain heart, and the thin outer heart with the scalloped edge.

To get this layering, I actually ran the die through with Whisper White (creating two hearts) and then the Grapefruit Grove Foil sheets.  You can actually create another heart layout with the White lace edge around the graperfruit heart. However … today the white is the center so we could stamp our greeting.  The greeting is stamped in Petal Pink, which coordinates with the Floral Romance paper.

The Grapefruit Grove Foil sheet has an amazing prism of color that runs through it, so it complimented the Petal Pink that I used.  I also used the sweet floral die in the set as an added touch to my card, and I thought it works beautifully with our vellum Floral Romance Designer Specialty paper.

The Grapefruit Grove Ribbon can also be found in our Sale-A-Bration catalog and you can get it, or the foil paper for FREE when you purchase this bundle or any purchase of $50 before shipping & handling.

However you hold that card and the light reflects on the Grapefruit Grove Foil paper … you will fall in love with it, just like I did!!  I guess it was “meant to be”.

Thank you so much for sharing a part of your day with me, it is appreciated.

Have a fabulous day ~

To My Valentine …

Posted in 2018-19 Annual Catalog, 2019 Occasions Catalog, 2019 Sale-A-Bration by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’d like to share a Valentine card that was inspired by a “Heart Box” that we have at the Candy store I work at. It also highlights the fabulous Lovely Lipstick Foil sheets from our Sale-A-Bration catalog … there is also a very spectacular Grapefruit Grove Foil sheets included in the package!!  I will share a card using that tomorrow!

I’m starting with the “MEANT TO BE” bundle from our Occasions Catalog … I have shared several projects using this bundle already. You can create die-cut hearts in all shapes and sizes in record time with Framelits dies and the Big Shot. The dies have stitching and scalloped details… and with the one I’m using today, one cut gets you two hearts!

The embossed heart reminds me of the decorations I was using when setting up the candy store yesterday … I cut the heart our first. It cuts a scalloped heart and then the inner heart so you actually have two.  I used the “Tufted” Embossing folder for the fun texture on this heart.  I used stampin’ dimensionals to keep the two pieces together.

I also cut out the Basic Black heart out with this die but only used the inside heart.  My more “masculine” heart, goes well with my Lovely Lipstick Foil tufted heart ❤  All die cuts and the “Happy Valentine’s Day” which was punched with the Pretty Label Punch, were all popped up with the Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The pretty paper comes from the “All My Love” Designer Series paper, and is the flip side to my “Thinking of You” card I posted earlier this month.

We had a little chuckle at my club this week as I passed around a few cards that I have created … each person opened the card to see what was inside (I laughed and said … don’t look in there!)  So, I’m going to make it a point to stamp on the insides as well …

I actually like the little border of Lovely Lipstick and Basic Black hearts … and it ties in with the front of our card.  All the stamps used on today’s card are from the Meant to Be stamp set that is included in this bundle.

The Meant to Be bundle not only qualifies you for a FREE Sale-A-Bration item but if you purchase from me, you will also receive a Virtual Rewards Point from me (Every $50 qualifies you… and you don’t have to worry – I do all the work, your card gets stamped with your purchase) When you have 10 … I send you a card so you can claim a FREE Stamp Set of Your Choice… YES, Your Choice!!

If you are located in the United States and looking for a creative coach/demonstrator … I’d be happy to help you.

Thank you so much for the visit today, and if you liked my card … please hit click on the LIKE button on the bottom of the page, or leave a comment, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Have a sweet day ~

Sealed with Love

Posted in 2017 Occasions Catalog, HOLIDAYS, Quick -n- Easy, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I want to share with you a card I created using the “Sending Love Suite”. Valentine’s Day is such a sweet holiday … whether is to your soul mate or a grandchild with the bold designs and traditional colors in this product suite it’s easy to send your love.

For today’s card I’m using the “Sealed with Love” bundle which includes the Sealed with Love stamp set, Love Notes Framelits Dies, and the awesome stamp set … Suite Sentiments. You’ve seen this stamp set before on my Friend Card.

000_3943

I began by using the cool edge die that created this beautiful line of hearts.  It’s really easy, just line it up to the edge of the card and run it through the BigShot. I pulled up the inside of the hearts for a dramatic look and added texture.

I chose the designer paper with the pattern I thought looked a bit like stamps because I wanted to use the greeting from the Suite Sentiments stamp set … “Love is in the Air Mail”.  I just thought that was so cute!

The greeting was cut out and matted with the squares from the Stitched Framelit Dies … Good news, they will be available soon … I will keep you posted.

000_3945

If you look closely, you will see the “lips” on the envelope … I didn’t get a shot of the inside but it is stamped with the verse “Sealed with a Kiss” and the lips … too cute! So many great greetings / verses in the Sealed with Love stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed, it was a big hit in my January Stamp Clubs. It was easy to create yet very dramatic.

Thanks for taking time out of your day to visit with me… hope yours is a good one.

Take care ~

Valentine: I have Loved You …

Posted in 2016 Occasions Catalog, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’d like to share a Valentine’s Card with you that I created with the “Bloomin’ Love” stamp set.  I love Early Espresso with our “pinks” so that is where I began planning my card …

I stamped the beautiful heart with Blushing Bride onto Very Vanilla cardstock. The banner comes in the set so I stamped that too … but only after I had stamped the words first. The greeting comes from the “First Sight” stamp set and I omitted all but that part.

000_3103

Actually … the Forever comes from the same stamp set, again I omitted part of the stamp. A great little technique the stretches the use of your stamps.

I used the fun fold on today’s card by simply folding the card front forward … it adds a fun dimension to the card and a step up from the normal card front.

The glimmer paper really enhances the card into a shimmery delight… and the heart completes the card, which comes from the “Itty Bitty Accents” Punch Pack.

000_3108

A simple card … maybe, but very, very elegant for a very special loved one.

Hard to believe only 8 more days till Valentines Day! Hope I inspired you to create a card for your loved ones.

Thanks for checking out my blog post today.  I’ll see you tomorrow for my Simply Sunday series.

Have a wonderful weekend ~

So Happy Together …

Posted in Punch Ideas, Quick -n- Easy, Valentines & Love, Wedding by

Hello my Stampin’ Friends,

It’s finally Friday!!  Wooooooooooo Hooooooooooooo!  I’m not complaining … my work week went very fast, and we closed the candy store on Tuesday because of the bitter cold, so it was a short week too.

Today’s card share will warm your heart.  A sweet and simple card created with heart … and with punches!  You can use it for Valentine’s Day or an Anniversary.

000_0691

I knew I wanted to use our Red Glimmer Paper for the card, in fact, the entire card was designed in my head (now you know it won’t be hard to make – lol)

I simply punched out the red glimmer paper with the “Postage Stamp Punch”.  I then punched 3 hearts out of a strip of Whisper White using the Small Heart Punch.  Then I centered the 1″ Square Punch over the heart and punched out the square.  It is so much easier to center the hearts that way, instead of trying to punch the heart out of the square.

I mounted the white heart squares onto the red glimmer paper using the Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I then mounted each of the completed squares using the Glue Dots onto the Whisper White mat.

The mat is 5″ x 3-3/4″ and is mounted onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Since my “A Dozen Thoughts” stamp set was still on my table from yesterday’s card … I chose the “happy together” for my greeting.

000_0688

Not to waste the hearts … I stamped the greeting onto one of them, and then layered it over the stamped greeting to add a bit of dimension onto the bottom half of the card.  The other two hearts are on the inside of the card.

You will notice that the main part of the stamping in the heart is “to”… for the two of you together!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a “happy” weekend ~
