Friends Never Fade

I made several of these as invitations to a workshop my friend Mary was having! Stampin' Up makes it very easy to make a great design quite simply when using their coordinating products. Our Greenhouse Gala Designer Printed Paper works beautifully with our Friends never Fade image. I used both sides of the designer paper for contrast!

Supplies:

Stamps: Friends Never Fade, Wedding Sweet

Inks: Basic Black

Paper: Greenhouse Gala DSP, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz

Accesories: Real Red Marker, Glorious Green Marker, Real Red 1 /4 inch Grosgrain

Happy Stampin' :)

Valentine Defined

This is my FAVORITE Valentine card this year :) It is absolutely adorable and I used it this month every chance I had!

I wish I could take credit for this card, however I CASED (copy and steal everything) it from my demonstrator's website.

But I did add the bling :) What's a Valentine without a little bit of glitter? For this card, I used our Fine Galaxy Red Glitter and Crystal Effects. With 3 little dots of Glue on each point of the heart, I was able to keep the glue in a heart form versus a big blob. It takes a steady hand and a little bit of patience and finesse, of course. The beauty of using Crystal Effects, is even though it's hard to see in my picture, is that the glittery hearts are raised 3-D. This glue dries is in the same thickness as applied and doesn't go flat :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Valentine Defined
Ink: Real Red
Paper: Real Red, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Fine Galaxy Glitter, Crystal Effects, 1/4 inch Real Red Grosgrain, Corner Rounder

Happy Stamping :)

Glittery Owl

This little guy can be for Valentine's or really any day! He's so cute perched on his branch all dress up in his fancy, red glittery vest....definitely ready for Date Night!

One of the fabulous perks of being a demonstrator is we are part of a group that meets regularly to share ideas. I must give credit and kudos to my friend, Jackie for this great little card! She's a brand new member to our Stampin' Group, but we've actually been stampin' buddies for about 7 years...

Just a little tip when putting this guy together....there are lots of ways "do" his eyes. The punch comes with several size circles that are designed to be layered for his eyes. Often times, I love to skip that step and attach googlie eyes, instead. But today, I cheated even further and simply punched a hole in the white circle allowing for the the actual brown of the owl to peek through giving the appearance of depth :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Inch by Inch
Inks: Real Red
Paper: Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Basic Black, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Garden Green and Glimmer Red Specialty Paper
Accesories: Owl Punch, Bird Punch, Petal Pouch Punch, Pinking Hearts Border Punch, Big Shot, Polka Dots Embossing Folder, 1/8 inch Real Red Taffeta Ribbon, 1/8 inch hole punch, Crystal Effects

Happy Stamping :)

Valentine Defined

A little bit of pink and a lot of hearts and voila! Another Valentine's Day card to share :) I had to play with this one a little bit to get it somewhere near the idea I envisioned. I started with the Pink Pirouette and ran it through one of the new letterpress plates. The impression left is not pictured well here, but it's cute :)

Stamps: Valentine Defined

Ink: Rose Red

Paper: Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Basic Black, Rose Red, First Edition Specialty Designer Paper
