Hearts A Flutter Framelits

Delightful Dozen

Here is a really quick and simple card. I used the Hearts a Flutter framelits for the larger hearts and then I stamped and hand cut the smallest heart from the More Amore specialty DSP. I added some embossing to some of the pieces and stamped a simple sentiment. I really like the way it turned out. Clean and simple cards are the hardest for me, for some reason!

Happy Stampin’

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!

Belinda

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!

Easy Events

Don’t forget that you can download a free trial version of My Digital Studio today! I’ll post with all of the details a little later.

Easy Events

This is a fun little card using the Easy Events set. I paired the love birds with the sentiment from the the tree image. I am thinking about cutting the sentiments away from the images on this set to make it even more versatile. Cheery fun!

Happy stampin’!

Masculine Valentine

Masculine Valentine

Masculine cards are difficult for me. Probably because when I see the new catalogs, I go nuts over all of the froufrou things that I love and then when I sit down to make a card for the male species, I haven’t got any masculine things to work with. I’ve raised girls. I must confess, I love pink stuff. Then I saw this paper. There is nothing pink, delicate or girly about it, but I love it! I think it is great for all kinds of scrapbook projects, as well as masculine and vintage projects. I completed the card with embossed hearts which I cut with our new Framelits and the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit die.

Tomorrow, back to the froufrou!

Take it to Heart

OK, I think I am finally at the point where I can at least manage my recent health issues. In a nutshell, my sensitivity to perfume has grown so extreme that it has to be “managed”. Planning two hours ahead for a run to the post office or grocery store is a stretch for me, but the alternative really cramps my stamping regimen. Needless to say, I find the creative process impossible  when it feels like my head is being used for target and batting practice, simultaneously!

Speaking of changes, it is time for a new mini catalog and Saleabration begins a week from today! Saleabration runs from January 24 to March 31st this year and there are some wonderful FREE products to choose from. I’ll do a separate blog post with all the details this weekend and if you like free stuff, you will definitely want to check back!

Take it to Heart

As usual, Stampin’ Up!  has filled the new Occasions Mini Catalog with exciting new products and wonderful stamp sets. I adore this set called, Take it to Heart. It works for valentines day and beyond and the banner stamp is one of my favorite things from the catalog! I’ll be using this with a lot of my other sets! I love, love, love the ruffled ribbon that I used to frame the image, so pretty. I love the new embossing folders for embossing the edges or just part of your card stock. I was already cutting my folders down to get this effect, but I must admit that is was always a little painful to make that first cut!
