Be My Valentine

Hello friends!

Valentine's Day is less than a week from today. So, it's just about time to move on! I know some of you are probably very happy to hear that! But first I want to share this more traditional Valentine.

Today's card incorporates a variety of elements, so let's dig in.

My card base is Basic White Thick cardstock topped with a panel of Sahara Sand cardstock. Next is a panel of Rococo Rose cardstock that I embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder. The Sahara Sand heart has a center from the Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper. The greeting (from Always In My Heart) was stamped in Rococo Rose on a banner from the Floral Heart Dies. Finally, I added some sequins from the Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins.

A Touch of Ink - Saleabration Card of the Week

Hello Friends,

It's time for our Sale-a-bration card of the week! This week I used A Touch of Ink for my card. As a level 2 item, this set is free with a $100 purchase.

This wonderful stamp set has 17 photopolymer stamps. It's a mixture of images and greetings and incorporates the two step stamping technique. What makes this stamp set so great is that the stamps that fill in the image are not a perfect match. But, if you are one of the people that doesn't like that affect, the images are easily colored with Stampin' Blends, watercolor pencils, or any of the other coloring techniques.

I used Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray, and Sahara Sand as the colors for my card. After stamping the images, I embossed the panel with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. And I added a bow of Linen Thread.

Tall & Skinny Valentine

Hello friends!

Over the weekend I participated in another virtual workshop; I really enjoy the camaraderie of getting together with other demonstrators and stampers - even if it's only via Zoom for now. Anyhow, we had a couple of "challenges" from the host to make cards according to certain specifications.

One challenge was to make a card using this sketch from the Mojo Monday crew.

The sketch is 3.5" x 5.5" and fits a regular envelope.

And here is the card I created:

The colors are non traditional. I used Night of Navy and Seaside Spray for my card. The card base is Basic White followed by a layer of Night of Navy. Next is a panel of designer series paper from the Paper Blooms pack. I added a layer of Seaside Spray cardstock embossed with the Painted Texture 3D embossing panel. I added the scalloped heart from the Many Hearts Dies and topped that with a Basic White heart stamped in Night of Navy using the Lots of Heart stamp set. The heart on the side is stamped in Night of Navy on Seaside Spray card stock. The sentiment is from the Heartfelt stamp set and is cut out with the smaller heart from the Heart Punch Pack. Finally, I added a couple of Resin Hearts colored with the Seaside Spray Stampin' Blends. I completed the card with a bow from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.

Have you made a Valentine using non traditional colors? Share a photo on my Facebook page here.

Hey Birthday Chick

Hello friends,

Back in 2017, Stampin' Up! offered a stamp set during Sale-a-bration that became wildly popular - Hey Chick. It was on everyone's wish list.

Fast forward to the current January - June Mini Catalog. Hey Chick returned as "Hey Birthday Chick" - another fun stamp set featuring those crazy chicks!

And now today, there is more great news to report! Hey Chick is back and available for purchase! In addition, there are now dies available for BOTH stamp sets! Woohoo!

Hey Birthday Chick Dies

Hey Chick Dies

And starting today, all four products are available for order! And not just for this week, or this month. These products will be available until June 30. The products are available for single purchase - or as a bundle with a 10% discount.

All of the products are available on my online store here.

And of course, I had to use them to make a card for you.

This little chick is so cute - and ready to take a bite of that cupcake! I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Stampin' Blends. The background is the All Wired Up background stamp. I used the dies to cut out the chick image and the birthday greeting.

(On my Facebook Live on Thursday I'll be making another project using the "chicks". Mark your calendar for Thursday evening at 7:00 EST! I'll be here on my Facebook page.
