Happy Valentines Day

Valentines Tealight Card

Share some love with someone today!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

I made this Valentines Day card at a recent Crafters Anonymous online class to share some love...

Valentines Tealight Card

Stamps: Ciao, Baby! (wood: 129645, clear: 129648), Broadsheet Alphabet (wood: 121490, clear: 120585). Card/Paper: Primrose Petals Co'ordinations (129322), Gumball Green (127543), Raspberry Ripple (127545), Very Vanilla (106550), Print Poetry DSP Stack (129312). Ink: Primrose Petals Stampin' Write Marker (2012-2014 In Colors: 126856), Primrose Petals (126858), Gumball Green (126861). Accessories: Gumball Green In Color Dahlia (127556), Metallic Brads (119741). Tools: Big Shot (113439), Pinwheel Sizzlit S Die (129411), Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (129378), Fashionable Hearts Embosslits (125596), SAB Petite Curly Label Punch (129405), Stampin' Sanding System (129367), Glue Dots (103683), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

This card features some of the fun, new products from the Seasonal Catalogue - Primrose Petals Co'ordinations card stock (page 12) embossed with the Honeycomb embossing folder (page 6), pretty patterned paper from the Print Poetry DSP Stack (page 16), Pinwheel Sizzlit die (page 33) and the "love" stamp from the Ciao, Baby! stamp set (page 16).

Valentines Tealight Card

The Primrose Petals Co'ordinations card stock was sanded after I embossed it, revealing the lighter core and make the embossing stand out.  I then added hexagons to some of the spaces, which are really easy to hand cut once you emboss the paper; you just follow the lines, six straight cuts and you're done!

Then the surprise of this card comes when you open it...

Inside there's space to add three tealight candles for that romantic dinner, or a place to add chocolates!

Love You

With Valentines Day just around the corner, a lot of the cards I have created lately feature hearts!  Which is not all to surprising.  But it sure came in handy when we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary last week.  Here's the card I make for my hubby...

Anniversary Card

Stamps: Itty Bitty Banners (wood: 126255, clear: 126257). Card/Paper: Naturals White (129588), Cherry Cobbler (121681). Ink: Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Classic Stampin' Pad (126966). Accessories: Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246), Early Espresso Baker's Twine (123124). Tools: Big Shot (113439), Fashionable Hearts Embosslits (125596), Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334), Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate (126192), 3/16" Corner Punch (119871), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

I used the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit to die-cut hearts out of Naturals White, a lovely flecked card stock.  I then adhered the hearts onto Naturals card stock, creating a tone-on-tone look.  Then to "hold the hearts together" I scored a border above and below using the new Borders Scoring Plate accessory for the Simply Scored.  This close-up shows the textures really well and the scored zig-zag lines below the hearts...

Anniversary Card

You can see the Simply Score Borders Scoring Plate on page 26 of the new Seasonal Catalogue.

Stampin' Up! have found that the new ink formula for the Basic Black Classic Stampin’ Pad (126980) smears, especially when stamped on Whisper White and Very Vanilla card stock. Their supplier currently resolving the issue, making sure they find the right combination of ink and card stock. Providing a quality product is their top priority. An excellent alternative, in the interim, is Jet Black StazOn (101406) on page 157 of the Annual Catalogue.

I am a stay-at-home mum with three kids and a wonderfully supportive husband.  I love craft, but stamping and card-making is my passion.  I also enjoy extending card-making and stamping techniques to create 3-D projects and gifts. 

I was introduced to Stampin' Up! a few years ago and I quickly fell in love with their co-ordinating products and, soon after, became an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.  I now hold regular workshops in my home focussing on the fabulous paper-craft products Stampin' Up! has to offer. 

I enjoy sharing what I know with others and inspiring their stamping creativity.
