Hearts A Flutter

Hearts a Flutter

Here is a sweet and simple valentine, created using the Hearts a Flutter set from the Spring Mini. Love that lacy heart stamp. I used a small strip of my Sweet Shop DSP (that is still on sale in the Clearance rack for $2.59. How FAB is that!?) The ribbon is from the Sale-a-bration Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack. It is so nice to work with. I am hoarding this stuff.

Thanks for looking!

Feeling Sentimental Sale-a-bration

Feeling Sentimental

This is one of my favorite Sale-a-bration items that can be chosen, FREE with your $50 purchase between January 22nd and March 22nd. That’s right, Sale-a-bration starts next week! If you haven’t gotten your Sale-a-bration brochure with the 19 products that you can choose free, email me and I’ll send you a copy. This is my favorite time of year at Stampin’ Up!

I chose the phone booth for a more masculine looking card, but I adore the other vintage images in this set as well. (A vintage bicycle and Ferris wheel). Love, Love, LOVE, this set! The card is very simple stamping and a little distressing.

Thanks for stopping by!

That’s the Ticket

That's the Ticket

When I started this card, I planned to use the Hearts a Flutter set, but I started playing with the More Amore DSP and it took on a life of it’s own. The heart is snipped from one of the laser-cut sheets. It’s really just basic stamping and a little heat embossing. I sponged some Primrose Petals ink on the doily to make it blend a little better with the paper. The That’s the Ticket set, added the perfect finishing touch. There is so much to LOVE in this new Spring Catalog. It’s so easy to get beautiful cards with all of the wonderful new embellishments and tools!

I hope you get to stamp today!

Perfectly Preserved Button Jar

Perfectly Preserved

After playing with the Orchard Print paper and the Perfectly Preserved set for a while, I decided to take the cute little jar a different direction. There are so many possibilities with this set! I wanted  a birthday theme, so  I decided to go vintage with a sweet little jar of buttons and lace. I wrapped the jar topper in lace and added a ruffle and a flower accent. Then I topped it off with a valance and more lace and ribbon. I couldn’t find a sentiment that was the right size for the look I wanted, so I hand cut a smaller sentiment and layered it.  As you can see, I was playing with all of my favorite things on this one!

Thanks for Looking

Beautiful Birthday Pennant card

Beautiful Birthday

This is another version of a card that I shared a few weeks ago. Clean and simple. The Happy Birthday stamp is called Beautiful Birthday. I really like these single sentiments and the smaller sets that just have two or three sayings in them. It’s a really inexpensive way to build up your greeting options. This card called for a larger sentiment as a focal point and this stamp was perfect.

Thanks for looking!

Greeting Card Kids

Greeting Card Kids

It’s almost the end of September. The kids have been back at school for a few weeks now. I made this card in honor of fall which officially began last weekend. Someone needs to tell Mother Nature that she’s late to the game.

I used my sweet little Greeting Card Kids and the Storytime DSP for this card. They play together very nicely! I have to admit that after ignoring the 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon for years and years, I am in love with our stitched replacement. I love the look and it is a little more supple, so it’s easy to tie. The apple button is from a big stash of buttons that were my mom’s. I just love incorporating some of her things into my cards, it’s like sending an extra special hug along with the card.

Thanks for looking!

Little Friends

Little Friends

This is another card that we made for Dyan’s hostess stamp camp. I like to keep the cards very simple for these camps, especially when there are new stampers there. When you are making 25 cards in one evening, it can get a little overwhelming. These new stampers jumped in with both feet though and once they started playing with the embossing folders, some were embossing everything! So my little card looked  plain, next to theirs. Still this Little Friends image takes center stage, that little guy is so cute!

Hope you get to stamp today!

Pleasant Poppies

Pleasant Poppies

This is one of the cards we will be doing at a Hostess Stamp Camp on Friday. Now that I have played with Dyan’s set, I must have it for my own! This is Pleasant Poppies. I just stamped the image and added a little color to the center of a few of the flowers. Fast and Fun!

Thanks for looking!
