Made with Love Double Easel Card

I have really been getting into fun fold cards that are easy to put together but look impressive.  And a Double Easel card does just that!  It stands up for display and it gives the creator a chance to show off more stamping or Designer Series Paper. It doesn't require any special dies, and the measurements are simple.  

I've only made a couple cards with the Made with Love Suite so I thought it was perfect for a Double Easel. After using so much Real Red the last few months, I was happy to pull out my Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush and Bubble Bath for this card.  

Check out my latest tutorial if you want to make one yourself!

Heart Shaped Bundle for Every Occasion

A Versatile Heart Shaped Bundle for Every Occasion

I’m absolutely loving the Heart Shaped Bundle, and I have to say—this set is way more versatile than you might think! While hearts are often associated with Valentine’s Day, this design proves that they can be used for so much more. 💚

For this card, I combined Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo to create something perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply sending a sweet note to someone special. The intricate heart frame adds just the right touch of elegance, while the bold pop of color makes the greeting stand out beautifully.

Don’t Miss Out—Limited Time Only!

The best part? The Heart Shaped Bundle is a FREE Sale-A-Bration option! That means you can earn it as a gift with purchase, but only for a limited time—once Sale-A-Bration ends, it will be gone for good. If you love it as much as I do, don’t wait!

Thanks to My Paper Pumpkin, I put my valentines together pretty quickly for my class last night.  I altered the set a little and left off the wooden arrows.  I've seen them tear into a handmade project pretty quickly so I knew they wouldn't be missed.

Sealed with Love Valentine

I spent some time this weekend getting ready for my Stamp-a-Stack next weekend.  I am pretty pleased with my cards this month and we will be doing 4 designs instead of the usual 3.  Here is the Valentine card we'll be doing.

Here's a close-up of the envelope.  Such a fun little detail!

Valentine Sampler Sealed with Love

I had my stampers here last weekend for team meeting.  One of our Make-n-takes involved a tub of valentine supplies. We all work together and created this fun sampler.

Hey, Valentine

Valentines for my first graders - done.  I'm not usually big on coloring a lot but it was so easy with my Blendabilities markers!

Sheltering Tree Valentine Card

I posted this card on my Facebook business page last night, and it has been by far my most popular post!  I must say I like it a lot too, and we will be making this Friday at my next Stamp-a-Stack.

Hey, Valentine

The first grade teacher in me knew I needed to buy the new Hey, Valentine set on my first flip through the new Occasions catalog.  I make my class a valentine every year and this set is perfect for kids (and adults too). There are so many terrific new stamps and accessories in the new catalog that it was hard to decide - I have pre-ordered two times already! You can order from the catalog beginning January 6!  Please let me know if you need a catalog.

Happy ValentineTWINES Day

I wanted to make a few Valentines for my stamping friends, and when I saw this idea on Pinterest I knew I could do it with my Stampin' Up! bakers twine.  I pulled out a variety of current and retired twine for a nice variety of Valentine "cards".  You can see the original on my Valentine's Day board.

Banner Blast Valentine

 

We did this banner Valentine at my weekend Stamp-a-Stack.  I think I know my customers pretty well, and I know how some of them feel about bows so I designed two options.  Funny how the bows were pretty popular with the Friday night group and the Saturday morning group was happier with the non-bow version.  It was fun to see who decided on which design.  Also interesting to see the ladies turn it into a birthday card and an anniversary card.

Eiffel Tower Valentine

 

Here is my latest creation and yep - you guessed it.  I was playing along with another challenge.  This time I combine a Mojo Monday challenge with a ColourQ challenge.  I generally am a slow creator, but when I saw these colors I knew I would do a valentine and thought this tall and skinny layout would be a great way to use my brand-new (just took it out of the box!) Follow My Heart stamp set.  My friends know I am a big fan of the Eiffel Tower and have a few decorating my craft room.  Although I held out for a long time, I broke down and order the Follow My Heart set so I could have that sweet Eiffel tower stamp in my collection.  I have been to Paris and been up the Eiffel Tower, but I was on a tour and didn't get to spend the kind of time I would have liked to so going back to Paris and the Eiffel Tower is definitely on my bucket list!  Until then, I will just have to make myself an Eiffel Tower card from time to time to get my fix.

Sweet Valentine

When I sat down to stamp this afternoon, I decided I would look for a color or sketch challenge to get me out of my box.  This Freshly Made 120 sketch was perfect!  I had already gone through and pulled out the stamp sets I thought I could use for a valentine card.  This stamp comes from Cycle Celebration which is primarily a birthday set.  But I knew as soon as I saw this sketch that the soda bottle was a great image for the center of the banner.

Monster Valentines

This may be the first time in my 20 years of teaching that my Valentines are done before February 13!  I bought the kits from Stampin' Up! for the monsters, and then I decided to go ahead and make them into a bigger card.  First graders are always so surprised when they find a card from me in their bags, so I thought I would make this one hard to miss!
