Hearts a Flutter

Good morning!

Here I am with another Valentine card! This card uses the Stamp set Hearts a Flutter, which co-ordinates with the Hearts a Flutter dies.  The Sentiment is from a Retired stamp set...however you can use whatever sentiment you would like. I love layers, and this card features layers! If you look closely you can see Stampin' Up's finishing touches Edgelit.

If you are from Canada, and need any supplies, please contact me and we can get you set up to make the card!

Have a great day!

Barb

Love x 3

Hey Stampers

I am probably one of the biggest followers on Pinterest. On one of my many  searches, I ran across this card and fell in love with it. The card uses Stampin' Up's Expression Thinlets. As you can see I cut it 3 times, using different shades of pink. The "U" is from an old set of Lollipop Uppercase Dies from Sizzix, using the Silver Glimmer paper. The heart shape is cut from a retired Stampin' up punch.
I also used a Rhinestone to add some interest to the heart. The Whisper White is embossed with an Embossing Folder from Cuttlebug, which is layered on Real Red Cardstock.

This would be a great card for Valentines Day...or anyday, just to tell someone you love them!

Till next time

Oh Hello!

Hi Friends
I am back with another card I saw on Pinterest. You can view  the gals blog  here  I am doing a Stamp a Stack class and I need cards that are made quickly and I think this fits the bill.

I used Daffodil Delight as the card base. So Saffron is the next layer, embossed with the Modern Mosaic Embossing folder. I cut a banner from Polka Dot Parade DSP. Next up is label from Labels Collections cut from Daffodil Delight CS. I then inked up Oh, Hello with  Basic Gray Ink, and cut it out with my oval punch.  Using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch, I cut a small shape and placed a Rhinestone in the center. Voila! As always, the sentiment can be changed to suit the occasion.

Festive Flurry Colour Combo

Hello All!

I found this lovely card on Pinterest and just had to make it.  The card I CASE'd is the "Crisp Cantaloupe" coloured one. I absolutely love the colour combinations for the Christmas season. Its so un-traditional. However, I have had not so favourable comments about the colours so I decided to make a traditonal red and green card, same layout. Which do you prefer?
I like both, but the Crisp Cantaloupe wins for me! Its going to be my Christmas card this year for family and friends!

Keep on inking!
