Valentine's Day Series: Day 4- Sweetheart Card #2

Here is the recipe:

Stamps: Sweetheart
Ink: Old Olive, Early Expresso
Paper: Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight, Real Red
Accessories: Twine

Enjoy Day 4!  Join me on Monday for Day 5!

Valentine's Day Series: Day 3- Friends Fur-Ever Card

I tried to branch out this weekend with different stamps sets than what I normally use and tried this doggie stamp set.  I have to say it felt good to try something different!  LOL  What do you think?  Not my usual, but for Valentine's Day I think it is acceptable to be a little cutesy and use animals, right!?! 

Here is the recipe to today's card:

Stamps: Friends Fur-Ever

Ink: Black StazOn ink

Paper: Early Expresso, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Old Olive DSP, Real Red CS and Real Red Glitter Paper

Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Small Heart Punch, Old Olive 1/4 ribbon, Stampin' Pastels

Can you tell I am loving my new small heart punch and the real red glitter paper?  It is so hard not to use it on these projects!  

Enjoy Day 3!  Come back tommorrow morning for Day 4.

Valentine's Day Series: Day 2- Treat Bag

Today's project was inspired by my monthly Stampin' Success magazine that I get for being a Stampin Up! Demonstrator.  You know that feeling you get when you get a magazine in the mail, and that feeling when you get a gift in the mail, well combine that with my addiction to stamps and WELL...getting the Stampin' Success is on top of the list of my favorite things each month!!  It is full of creative ideas and tips.  One of the projects last month was very similar to this.  I filled my treat bag with a cello bag of red and pink M&Ms.

Here is the recipe:

Stamps: Love you Much

Ink: Real Read

Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Real Red Glitter Paper

Accessories: Real Red satin ribbon, scallop circle punch, dimensionals

More Details:

This was super easy to make.  I took a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock.  I cut it down the middle on the long side (at 5.5).  Then I scored it on the long side at 4, and 8.  Then flipped it over to the short side and scored it at 3/4".  Then I stamped my sheet and to finish I put some sticky tape on the side and bottom to hold it firmly together. 

If you need more clarification feel free to email me at mayramt@hotmail.com.

Enjoy Day 2!

Valentine's Day Series: Day 1- Sweetheart

Hello!

I know it has been a while since I have posted.  I have been busy with the holidays, a trip to Texas and a new job.  However, I always make time for stamping and create projects most nights a week (I just sometimes don't get around to posting them!). 

Now that the holidays are over it is time to move on the the biggest cardmaking holiday of the year: Valentine's Day.  I love any holidays and was excited to have a new theme to work on.  For the next 5 days I will be posting all Valentine's projects and trying to inspire you to make your own handmade Valentine's this year. 

Today's Project is a 5x5 card using the Sweetheart stamp set (120415 $21.95 wood/ 120780 $15.95 clear).  I love the big features in this card and all of the 3-D elements that really make this card pop.  I have made a variation of this for my husband for his Valentine's Card.  I like it that much.  

Here is the recipe:

Stamps: Sweetheart

Ink: Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze, Old Olive

Paper: Real Red, Whisper White, Red Glitter paper

Accessories: Twine, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder (for Big Shot), dimensionals

Hope you enjoyed this project.  Stay tuned tommorrow morning for another one!
