Valentine Countdown

 As promised I have more Valentine Cards for you today.  The Valentine above is from Cindy Powell.  The inside of her card is below.  The Bloomin' Love and Bloomin' Heart Bundle has been a very popular sell this year.  You can understand why when you see all the pretty cards made with it.

 The cards below are all made by Jeanne Defibaugh.  Jeanne used one of my favorite papers on this card and the is Glitter or Glimmer paper.  Of course RED is my favorite.  What is yours?

 That Jeanne makes everything sparkle when she walks into a room.  Her she has used the silver paper to make this card dance.  I love this one.

Another card by Jeanne and she is back to using a favorite Stamp Set Gorgeous Grunge to give a splash of Blushing Bride Ink to the card.

I am showing these cards even though they are using retired paper because in reality SU paper is way to beautiful to throw away if you have not used all of it for your projects.  I believe in showing the beautiful cards made even if it is retired papers.  Do you agree?

Valentines Cards

 Hi,

From now until Valentines Day I want to share beautiful cards made by two of my special customers.  The above non-traditional colored Valentine Card is made by Cindy Powell from Bedford, PA.  Cindy always has a feminine side to her cards.  Cindy used Stampin' Up! new Bloomin' Love Stamp Set and Bloomin' Heart Thinlet Die to make her pretty card.  This is a Bundle in the Occasions Catalog on page 16.

This pretty card is made by Jeanne Defibaugh from New Enterprise, Pennsylvania.  Jeanne used a very popular Stamp Set from the Big Catalog called Gorgeous Grunge.  A very popular set.  She also used Bakers Twine and Red Glitter paper for her hearts to set the card off nicely.

Stay tuned, more to follow from these two crafters.

BE My Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.  This is a simple card but I really like the cascading hearts.  No stamping on this card.  I used our Love Paper Pack from the Occasions Catalog and the Heart Dry Embossing Folder.  One heart is punched from the Red Glitter Paper. Card Stock is Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.  The ribbon is retired but any ribbon will do.

Thanks for looking in today and hope you have a very Happy Day!

VALENTINES and Hedge Hogs

The cards I am sharing today were done by one of my Card Club members, Sally Van Why of Bedford, Pennsylvania.  Sally started making cards with me because her friend, Linda, sent her a homemade card from one of my classes.  Sally picked up the phone and told Linda, "I don't know where you made the card you sent me but I want to go there too."  That was over a year ago and Sally has been happy doing paper crafting every since.  I love this story cause it shows that women who love crafts are drawn to each other.  I like to think we are a special breed.  lol  We are!!

Sally has used the new Best of Snow with the little Hedge Hogs and the Flowerfull stamp but then she has combined those stamps with retired stamps she purchased from me.  I love when my ladies come up with clever and thrifty ideas. Looks like Sally used Real Red and Pool Party.  Some DSP from Christmas Lodge which was a big hit last year.  I'll bet she won that as a door prize at one of my events.

I hate to part with my retired stamps but as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I can only hold so many stamp sets in my three closets that are in my "Play with Paper Room." (more to be shared about that later). 

Leave a comment to let Sally know what you think of her creations.

Flowerfull Heart Valentine Gift Card

This card is Red Card Stock and the Paper Stack DSP Fresh Prints from the Occasions Catalog, page 33.  I used Gold Metallic Ink on the heart and then cut out with the Hearts A Flutter Framelits.  Would be good as a larger card too.

Valentines 3 by 3

Today I want to feature the new Paper Stack $6.95 in Occasions Catalog page 33.  Above I have Valentine using the Banner Framelits.  I also used Stazon White Ink for the verse.

This card again uses the Paper Stack, Fresh Prints DSP.  Here I used the bold strip.  The heart embellishment is not SU however a third heart could be cut or a Rhinestone used to complete card.  This could also be used for a regular sized Valentine's or Wedding or Anniversary Card.
Heart Framelits make this an easy card to complete.

LETTERPRESS PLATES

I am show casing the Letterpress Plate, Lots of Love found on page 217 of the Big Catalog in this card.  Also used the sweet Greeting Card Kids little girl.  Valentine's Day is fast approaching so I will be sharing more Valentine Cards between now and February 14.

Valentines Day is Coming

I made this card from the Stamp Set Sweetheart which can be used with the Sweet Treat Cups.  I wanted to show it can be used alone as well.  I outline the card with the Framed Tulip Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
