Happy Valentine's Day!


I'm ready for Valentine's Day, how about you?
This was another card we used for my Friday night workshop.  It uses the new Hearts a Flutter stamp set and Framelet set.  You can get both in a bundle and save 15%!  The heart and label are propped up on dimensionals. The scallops were tricky to line up - it involved first punching the red paper, then lining it up with the pink in the punch at the same time, but not punching more into the red, but just on top of.  I know, it sounds a lot more confusing than it really is.  If you really want to know how, leave a comment and I will explain better or maybe just edit this post with additional pictures to explain.  At first I thought it was too simple, but I think the saying "less is more" works for this card.  Hope you have a great Valentine's Day!

Stamp Sets: Hearts A Flutter, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Regal Rose, (pink sparkle paper was scrapbook paper I already had)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Accessories: Hearts A Flutter Framelets, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, (little clothespin was from last year's catalog, but you can get them at any craft store)

Only One You


Welcome to the first card of my own design!  It's fairly simple, and we used it at my workshop Friday night and everyone loved it and the different varieties you could create.  We interchanged the stamps from the Feeling Sentimental Sale-A-Bration stamp set - you can use a ferris wheel, phone booth (people who like Dr. Who loved the phone booth!), or a bike.  And the saying was from the Vintage Verses Sale-A-Bration stamp set.  There was also a beautiful Thank You that everyone was using.  Each set is free with a $50 purchase!  The ferris wheel and sentiment are propped up on dimensionals, but that's about it!

Stamp Sets: Feeling Sentimental, Vintage Verses
Ink: Early Expresso
Paper: Very Vanilla, Early Expresso, Old Olive DSP
Accessories: Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Big Shot, dimensionals

A side note - If you host a $150 party during Sale-A-Bration, (January 22-March 22), in addition to the normal benefits, you'll also receive a package of Silver Glimmer Paper for free!  If you host a $400 party, you get the Silver Glimmer Paper PLUS a product bundle!  If you decide to join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator, you get 25% more product for free in your Starter Kit! (I joined originally just for the discount, but found some friends who were interested in using me as their demonstrator, so here I go!)
Feel free to ask any questions you may have!

Welcome!

I am new to the blog world - and hoping to expand my Stampin' Up! business.  I just signed on as a demonstrator, which I am very excited about.  I plan to post pictures of the things I make in hopes to encourage some of you to have a card making/scrapbook page making party - whether it be online or in home.  Just send me a comment if you're interested!
