Heartfelt Valentine...

Valentine's Day is coming!  I have to say, I really love this holiday.  Maybe it's because ALL. THINGS. PINK are 100% accepted with this holiday.  (Hee.)  Or maybe I just really LOVE love.  But I just really love this holiday!  So about time to make some Valentine's...right?!  😀

Colors: Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White, Gold

Ink Pads: Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers:  Whisper White, Thick Whisper White, Brights Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Heartfelt

Tools: Heart Punch Pack, Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder, Aqua Painter, Heat Tool

Accessories: Linen Thread, Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder, Heart Doilies

This one was pretty quick and easy to make.  I LOVE the Heart Doilies in the Mini Catalog.  They are SOOOOO cute and so much fun to use!  Then layered with the punched heart from the Heartfelt Stamp Set and the Heart Punch Pack...well yes please!  😀

Here is a fun little tip.  See these stamped flowers?!

See how they are speckled  a bit?!  Well...while they were still a bit wet (so stamp quickly!) I dumped some Gold Embossing Powder on them, gave a good tap off, and heat set.  So that way they aren't covered...just speckled.  And...depending on how much dried...you get a varying level of speckle.  So I kinda love it.  (I also wanted some of the splatter that landed on the paper...so I did NOT use an Embossing Buddy like I normally would.) 

I love the layers of this card, and hope you do also!

Brian's Bonanza Birthday Box...

We had a big special birthday at our house this week!  My husband celebrated the big 4-0!!!

What does this have to do with stamping?!  (Because I know that is why you are here, right?!  😀)   Well...one of his presents, I needed something to wrap it in.  And I didn't have the right box.  So I thought...who needs to buy one!  I will make one quick with cardstock!  So that's just what I did! 

Colors: Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Whisper White

Ink Pads: Grapefruit Grove, Memento Black

Cardstock/Papers:  Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Noble Peacock Foil Sheets, Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Well Said

Tools: Bonanza Dies, Word Wishes Dies, Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder, Sponge

Accessories: 3/16" Braided Linen Trim

I just measured what I was wrapping, added an inch on all sides, scored it at an inch on all sides, cut on score lines to make some flaps and adhered it together!  Then repeated for the bottom of the box!  It really was so quick and easy!  Took WAY less time to even go to the store to grab one.  Probably even took less time than standing there at the store trying to decide what to get. 😂  And it is SO MUCH MORE FUN to give this package instead of a store bought one, right?!  I call that a win-win-win!!!

I love this Birthday Bonanza Suite also.  It is so cute and fun!  And I didn't even use the stamps for this project!  Crazy!  This was just having fun with the paper and dies to make the tag! Small note:  that "birthday" greeting is stamped on Whisper White cardstock and then sponged with Grapefruit Grove ink to get that ombre look.  I did that because solid cardstock just wasn't working for me.  😁

I hope you enjoy!  Thank you so much for visiting!  Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!  Would love to help you with your crafting needs!

Another Sensational Year of You!!!...January Club Project:

What better project to make in January than a little desktop calendar!  This is what we made for our club project this month!  Just look how cute it is:

Colors: Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Gold

Ink Pads: Petal Pink, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers:  Thick, Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Petal Pink, Basic Black, Gold Foil Sheets, Vellum, Golden Honey Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Sending You Thoughts

Tools: 1 1/2" Circle Punch, Leaf Punch, Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder, Heat Tool

Accessories: Petal Pink 1/4" Metallic-Edge Ribbon, White Stampin' Emboss Powder

I love this little easel calendar.  We used a few Sale-A-Bration items on it also...the gold Designer Series Paper (from the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper) and the stamp!  I thought that sentiment was PERFECT for a calendar! 

(Don't you agree?!  😀)

I love the strips in the background (2 are Designer Series Paper, 1 is a foil sheet, 1 is stamped, and 1 is embossed) and how they all layer together!  

Hope my club gals loved making this!  And look at it all year long.  😁

Heartfelt Pattern Mixing...January Club Card:

I love the Heartfelt Bundle, the From My Heart Designer Series Paper, & the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper.  So I mixed them all together and voila: 

Colors: Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Basic Black

Ink Pads: Flirty Flamingo, Memento

Cardstock/Papers:  Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Vellum, From My Heart Designer Series Paper, Golden Honey Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Heartfelt

Tools: Heart Punch Pack, Decorative Ribbon Border Punch, Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder

Accessories: Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon

The card we made for my January Club was born!  This was a fun and quick card to make.  And I LOVE how these two patterns work together! 

Those pink foil heart accents are amazing.  😍  And I just love that little scallop border...made with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch.  It's all about the little details, right?!  😁  That's why I added that little scalloped heart behind the Flirty Flamingo heart...love the subtleness of it. 

I hope you enjoy this card!

Thanks for Detailed Hearts

I love a fun die-cut that really packs a punch.  This Detailed Hearts Die does just that!  Those hearts are definitely the star of this card:

Colors: Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Whisper White, Gold

Ink Pads: Coastal Cabana, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers:  Basic Black, Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Gold Glimmer Paper

Stamps: Seriously the Best

Tools: Detailed Hearts Die, Decorative Ribbon Border Punch, Heat Tool, Aqua Painter

Accessories: Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder, Whisper White Baker's Twine

Want to know how I got that background?!  Well...it was so easy!  I started by just sponging some Coastal Cabana ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Then splattered it with the same ink & an Aqua Painter.  Next, I die-cut the Coastal Cabana Detailed Hearts, cut out some additional gold glimmer hearts, and then just added that to the background.  I love it! 

This gold greeting isn't so bad either.  Hee.  Yes...you will be seeing a lot of this stamp set...because it's so fabulous.  😀 And having it embossed in gold makes my heart happy, especially paired with the gold glimmer hearts...Swoon!  😍

One more view of the whole card:
