Love you much!

I don't send Valentine's to anyone, but I can't seem to stop making them!  I set a goal for this week - to try to make a new card each day.  For those of you that know me, it isn't an easy task & work is busy, so tonight I am taking the night off from the stamps.  I created this little Valentine last night.   Might use it as a make & take!

Card stock: Real red, whisper white, basic black
Ribbon: 3/8" real red tafetta
Ink: real red, basic black, pear pizzazz
Stamp sets: Valentine defined, Love you much
Glimmer paper - from the Occasions Mini catalog
Small heart punch

Simple & easy Valentine card

Whisper White, Real Red & Designer series paper stack - Real Red
Valentine Defined stamp set
Real Red ink
Real Red 3/8" tafetta ribbon
Heart to Heart Extra Large punch

I punched holes in each side so I could tie a knot on both ends & save a little on the ribbon.  Next time I make it, I am going to use eyelets to secure the ribbon without tearing the paper.

Just a few cards I have made over the years.

Tart & Tangy Friday night!

I was searching for some cute ideas for the tart & tangy set the other day & this one is cased, but I have to find the info for where I found it!  When I do, I will include their info, because the cards are great.  Had to improvise a little and cut out my slices since my punch was a little too large.  I like the final look of the card, but the next time I make it, I won't try to put the sentiment on the slices, just next to it.  I think if the sentiment was a little longer, it would look better (like the one I cased this from!)

Enjoy!

Quick & Easy

So Saffron is my favorite color as you will come to find out!  I was looking for something simple & easy - this was it!  I used wild wasbi for the grass and baja breeze for the butterfly.  I used the butterfly punch & inspired by nature for the grass & sentiment.  The sentiment didn't come though as well as I would like, but it gives me a starting point to improve from.   Things can only get better, right?

Just playing around

Been working on a few cards to use for a workshop or open house.  Wishing my camera would take a better picture of them!  My Valentine card is lacking a little, but it was a first go around, so I am pleased that I came up with it.  I got the Build a Roo set free because the stampin' scrub was not available last month.  I think the next time I try this I will stamp the hearts on WW cardstock & color them in.  I lost the detail by using the riding hood red ink on the matching paper.

One of my favorites

I love the chocolate bunny stamp that Stampin' Up sold last year in the mini.  It was one that I knew I would use immediately.  I stamped it with versamark & then used clear embossing powder.  Doesn't it look good enough to eat?

Little history

I have always been crafty as my family & friends know.  In 2006, I was invited to my first card workshop & have been creating cards ever since!  Last year, I became a demonstrator with Stampin' Up.  If you would like to learn more about the cards you see here or would like to host a workshop, let me know!

Hope to post some card samples this weekend!
