7 Days of Valentines: Day 4

I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out! I can't remember now where the inspiration came for this card. I think I started with a sketch and then altered it because I liked how this layout looked. That's what I love about stamping! It's so easy to simply copy a card exactly how you found it...or to take an idea and run with it. I love to create new layouts and cards. It's just SO MUCH FUN!

Happy 4th Day Before Valentine's Day!

I just LOVE this sparkly Specialty Designer Series Paper featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog! I know you can't see the sparkles in the picture, but the paper is so neat!

This card was another very simple card that could be easily copied en masse for valentines or even a little gift for a friend.

Happy 5th Day Before Valentine's Day!

This card was super simple, and the glitter really "adds a little something extra, don't you think?" (Legally Blonde...one of my favorites!) Enjoy!

7 Days of Valentines: Day 7

So I totally dropped the ball in scheduling a "7 Days of Valentine's" class like I had previously promised...sorry! I had already made all the cards, so I decided instead to post each card for the next 7 days so you can at least see the cards :-)

I am giving these cards to my husband along with a little treat each day. I also wrote about the significance of each number inside each card. For example, 7 is a significant number for Ben and me because we got married on 07/07/07, so for today (the 7th Day Before Valentine's Day), I wrote about our wedding and how happy I am to have married Ben. A couple of the numbers I got a little cheesy, but...it's the thought that counts!

Here's card #7:



The treat bags I'm making for each day look approximately like this one:



I put 7 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in the cello bag. I have different candies for each day. The topper is cut out of some really cool self-adhesive "metal" sheets I found last weekend. Ben really likes silver and red, so I was sure to incorporate those colors. All my cards are brown, pink & red, so I made the tag brown & red to coordinate.

Happy 7th Day Before Valentine's Day!

In Color Revival

Hi friends! For today's card, I decided to use this year's In Colors. These colors are always so great, but they won't be around forever! Each year, Stampin' Up! develops six In Colors that they only keep for one year. This year's colors are Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Dusty Durango, Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay, and Crushed Curry. I always LOVE the In Colors, but as we've been trudging through these dull winter months, I've failed to pull them out, as this year's In Colors are fairly bright.

Using the Clean & Simple Stamping Fall-To Layout #76, I paired Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie to make this fun "anytime" card :)



The squares are embossed using the Big Shot and the Texturz Plates, and the sentiment is from a FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp set (for every $50 you purchase, you'll receive a FREE stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog!). Hope you all have a very happy Friday!

Happy {Heart} Day!

This past weekend, I flew to Kansas City to visit my mom and scrapbook for the weekend! Whoo Hoo! As I was preparing my things for the flight, I rediscovered my sticky cuts letters and just felt an overwhelming need to pull them out and use them again! I have the Fine Cosmo glitter, which includes a Rose Red colored glitter. I pulled out Pretty in Pink to coordinate and went to town...so Happy {Heart} Day!!

I love the new Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, featured in the new Occasions Mini Catalog. It's sparkly! One side of each sheet has a glittery pattern. Of course I would love it! I highly recommend it :-)
