Positive Thoughts

Stampin' Up! is releasing a collection of products that coordinate with products currently available in the Jan-Jun Mini and Sale-a-bration catalogs.  You can see those products here.  They will be available for order on February 4. 

I used the Nature's Thoughts dies and the Positive Thoughts stamp set for my card. 

Using a piece of Highland Heather card stock, I stamped the flower image randomly in Highland Heather ink.  I used another piece of the same card stock to cut out the background for the image panel.  I stamped the butterfly image on a another piece of card stock and cut it out with the butterfly die.  I added Noble Peacock Rhinestones in Gorgeous Grape to the butterfly.  The leaf image is stamped in Old Olive and then stamped off a couple more times.  To finish up, I sponged the edges of the image panel and sentiment panel.  A bow tied from Linen Thread finishes off the card.

Breathtaking Bouquet

I really enjoy coloring.  And I haven't had much time to do it because of the hustle and bustle of the holidays.  So, recently I took an hour or so and spent some time with my Stampin' Blends and the new Breathtaking Bouquet.

The sentiment for my card is from Label Me Bold.

From My Heart

Every year I end up with so many more Valentine's cards than I can ever use - even at the stores that sell my cards.  But I can't help myself.  Once I get started, they keep coming.  So here's another.  It's all stripes and hearts.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all of these cards.  If you have any ideas, leave me a comment or send me a message.

Tip:  The sentiment and heart outline for this card are embossed.  Since Stampin' Up! doesn't sell Real Red embossing powder, here is how I created this look.  There are 2 ways to do it.  First, the way I did it.

Ink up the stamp in Versa Mark and then in Real Red ink.  Stamp the card stock and then add clear embossing powder.  Use the heat gun to set.

The second way to emboss in color is better for those that can't stand the thought of "double-dipping" the stamp in two inks.  You need the Stamparatus for this method.  Using the magnet(s) to hold your card stock in place and with the stamp in place on the top panel, ink up the stamp in Versa Mark,  stamp the image on the card stock.  Without moving the stamp or the card stock, clean the stamp.  Then repeat the process with the Real Red ink.  Add embossing powder, and use heat gun to set.

Your preference.  Both methods work and neither damages the ink pad

My January Paper Pumpkin arrived on Friday - just in time for a very winter-y weekend!  So,  I had plenty of time to not only make up my kit, but make some alternatives as well!

This sweet kit is perfect for Valentine's Day - and so much more!  The kit contains a 13 piece stamp set in addition to supplies for 10 - 3" x 3" cards with envelopes and 20 treat pouches.  The little pouches hold gift cards, candy, and tea bags, among other small items. 

Here is an example of a few cards and pouches/bags I made up per the kit directions.

(The envelopes for the cards are not shown here.)

And because I really like the stamp set in this kit, I made up 3 alternate full size cards!
