Valentine Wishes

Here's a card I made for Valentine's Day, which I sent it to my daughter. I love sanding the Core'dinations Cardstock after embossing with the Pretty Print Embossing folder. After punching out the hearts, I ran them through the Big Shot with the Decorative Dots Embossing folder (free during Sale-a-Bration).

Supplies:
Stamp sets - Valentine Defined (retired)
Cardstock - Whisper White, Primrose Petals cardstock and Core'dinations cardstock
Ink - Primrose Petals
Accessories - Pretty Print and Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, Big Shot, Deco Labels Collection Framelits, Large and Small Heart punch, sanding block, 3/8" Whisper White taffeta ribbon

Honeycomb Valentine

Here's a simple and fun Valentine. It's the card I used Friday with my nursing home ladies.  You can place the hearts anywhere, you don't have to center them in the "cells" like I did.  You wouldn't think 80 and 90 year olds would be so creative, but we had some really cute Valentines when they were all finished!! Mary Lou's rocked - wish I'd have made mine like hers!  I'd love to take some pictures of them working and their finished projects, but there are privacy issues involved!

Supplies:
Stamp sets - Valentine Defined (retired)
Cardstock - Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White
Ink - Raspberry Ripple
Accessories - Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Large and small heart punch, Ticket Duo Builder punch, Raspberry Ripple 3/8" stitched satin ribbon

Happy Watercolor

Well, it's another snowy, cold day and it's the perfect time for me to prepare for my Open House on Sat. I hope we don't get snowed out again. There's a chance for snow on Sat.!! The Happy Watercolor stamp set is in the new Occasions catalog and it's very versatile. I stamped it on a tag made from the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. The card I made is a CASE from Diana Gibbs, which I found on Pinterest. I added the butterflies and colored ribbon to mine. The strip of Designer Paper near the bottom is the FREE Sale-a-Bration paper called Sweet Sorbet.

Crisp Cantaloupe and Soft Suede

I made this card using the designer paper from Soho Subway and Venetian Romance. The colors in the paper are Crisp Cantaloupe, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla. I used the new Banner Framelits to make the banner (which works really slick!) and the Chalk Talk Framelits to layer the greeting. Lots of toys and tools to make this one!
