My most favourite die set

Hey Stampers
I have been gone for a long time! Trying to get going on this venture of Stampin' Up and not having much luck. Recently I have been following a gal, that post's CASE cards...and since I am the same as her...I thought I might give it a try!
This die set, is by far, my most favourite EVER!! I love it. Botanical Builder Framelits. I tried the Collar Card Technique or Peekaboo card, as I call it, to showcase one of my cards.
Thanks for looking!

Happy Watercolour

I love this stamp set "Happy Watercolour" from Stampin' Up! I saw a couple of cards on Pinterest so I incorporated them into this one.

Some sequins were added for interest too.  If you would like to order these items, please click onto my Shop now button.

Happy Valentine's Day Weston and Carey!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Aren't these cards adorable? I made these for my two grandsons, Weston and Carey. The stamps are from the retired SU set " I dig you". Being boys, they love their trucks, so I figured these would be appropriate, filled with lots of hearts! Lots of love for those boys!  This set can be used for birthdays, filling the truck and loader with presents!

Wherever you are, I hope you have a happy Valentine's Day!

For Meg

A friend of mine had a stamp set that she hadn't used yet. I asked her to give it to me, so I could give her some ideas. Here is one I came up with using the side-step card. Enjoy!

Inky Hugs!

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!

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
