Be Mine, Valentine

Time to switch gears from Christmas to Valentine's Day.  I made this card for a swap I am doing with some fellow demonstrators and it features the stamp, Candy Conversations, from the Occasions Mini Catalog that starts January 4. 

It's a single stamp that I stamped several times down the cardstock.  I masked off the words as I went and then for the bottom row, I masked off the hearts.  I popped up the Be Mine heart in the center with a dimensional.

Itty Bitty Baby Card

The new Itty Bitty Bits stamp set, coordinating punches and Bitty Buttons from the summer mini catalog made this a simple baby card. You could easily chose different colors if you wanted to make a gender specific card. We made this in stamp club and I wanted to do a general card so I went with Barely Banana and Certainly Celery. The hello baby came from Teeny Tiny Wishes, and we finished it off with a Bitty Button.

Supplies: Itty Bitty Bits, Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, Whisper White, Barely Banana, Certainly Celery cardstock, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Apricot Appeal, Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink ink, Word Window, Pinking Hearts Border, Itty Bitty Shapes punches, Bitty Button, dimensionals, 2-way glue and Glue dot

Happy Valentine's Day

How's this for a Valentine?  Start with a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock, score all 4 sides and fold in around your inside message or picture.  (I made a template with the dimensions I liked).  This was originally demonstrated at the Stampin' Up! leadership convention.  I didn't go, but I'm lucky enough to be in a group of stampers who went and shared all of their new ideas with us - thanks M.E.! Here it is all folded up - wouldn't that be a nice surprise for your Valentine?

Supplies:  With All My Heart Stamp Set, Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Whisper White cardstock, Real Red ink, Pinking Hearts Border punch, Extra Large Fancy Flower punch

New Valentine Accessories!

Even though my Christmas decorations aren't all put away, I couldn't hold off any longer. I had to play with some of the new accessories in the Occasions Mini catalog!  They've been sitting there in my stamping studio throughout the holiday waiting for me to crack into them.  I went with an old stamp set, Cheep Talk, but used the new Pinking Hearts Border punch and the Love Epoxy Brads.  What a quick way to put together a cute Valentine for a friend!

Supplies:  Cheep Talk stamp set, Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Whisper White cardstock, Close to Cocoa, Certainly Celery, Real Red, Pretty in Pink ink, Pinking Hearts Border punch, Red Love Epoxy Brads
