Be My Valentine

Hello!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm currently offering ribbon shares.  If you go to the tab just under the title bar you'll see "Ribbon Shares".  Click there to see all the details!

Wanted to post a little Valentine's Day card I made! This is a total CASE of Mary Fish's (Stampin' Pretty) card that she made.  I changed a couple of things but pretty much copied it!  I thought it was a wonderfully colourful, fun card!

I used the new Melon Scented Embossing Powder on this card for the stamped heart! I really do love the smell!  How fun is it to have a scratch and sniff card?!  I must say I thought Mary did a fabulous job of designing this card!  So much fun to CASE!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Lucky Limeade, Peach Parfait, Pool Party
DSP: Everyday Enchantment
Stamps: PS I Love You
Ink: Red Riding Hood
Other: Lucky Limeade Ribbon, Word Window Punch, Full Heart Punch, Heart to Heart Punch, Edgelit Dies, Edgelit Embossing Folder, Heart Dies (non-SU).

Thanks for stopping by!

Apothecary Art

Hi!
Oh, another week starts soon.  I'm not sure I'm ready for this!  We don't have a lot of extra stuff this week so it should be relatively easy but I'm always a bit sad when the weekend comes to an end!

I wanted to try out the Apothecary Art stamp set and the new (and fabulous) Framelits Dies (Labels Collection) from Stampin' Up!

I picked an old sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to start with and then ran with it!  I wanted to use the Edgelits Dies and Embossing Folders are well so the sketch I chose worked perfectly!

A little trick I learned when using the Framelits dies (with or without a stamped image).  Use a post-it note to hold it in place when running your "sandwich" through the Big Shot.  The post-it note doesn't mark your paper or smudge your ink but keeps your paper snuggly in place!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Red Riding Hood, Basic Black, Whisper White
DSP: Twitterpated
Stamps: Apothecary Art
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Polka Dot Ribbon, Edgelits die, Edgelits Embossing Folder, Framelits Dies (Labels), Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!

Create with Connie and Mary Challenge

Happy Saturday!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!  We have had a busy weekend with a sick 5 year old who seems to be on the mend!  Thankfully he heals quickly!

I wanted to take part in the "Create with Connie and Mary" sketch challenge (CCMC184) this weekend. I enjoyed the sketch though it took me a while to come up with a colour combination I was happy with!  I do find that sketches really stretch my imagination at times!

I tried out the Edgelits Dies and Textured Impressions Adorning Accents (both of which are available in the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalogue).  They were super fun (and fairly easy) to use.  What a great way to add a border to a card!  I also used the DSP, ribbon and brad from the Sale-a-bration catalogue (which starts January 24th).

Hope you enjoy today's card!  I will be posting one tomorrow for a different sketch challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!
