Sweet Valentine Mini Banner

Good morning Stamping friends! It feels like a Monday to me.  It was great to have that long weekend.  Now I'm sitting at an airport waiting on my NEW flight.  Yes, had a little flight change because I missed my original flight this morning due to the GREAT traffic on 95 this morning.  I just love the traffic here.  

Now I'm sitting in the USO at the airport and must say this is a GREAT place for military members.  I have a comfy seat, free wifi, all kinds of great food and drinks as well as a nice big TV!  No wonder Russ always likes to visit these when he fly's.  

I'm trying to head to San Antonio for the week for the big Leadership Conference.  I am really excited to see all my friends.  I hope to keep you informed of some of the fun things we are doing.  I even brought cards to work on in my hotel room.  I haven't done that in YEARS.   

Let me share this Valentine I made.  

I'm still enjoying the P.S. I Love You stamp set.  I love all the sentiments so much that I decided to use more than one on this card.  I decided to make a mini banner by stamping each of the sentiments onto a 1/2 strip of Naturals Ivory CS.  I used the cute mini clothes pins and connected the mini banners onto the Linen Thread so they would hang across.  I used the Heart Framelits to cut the large heart and placed the First Edition DSP onto the inside piece of the card base.  I feel like I cannot make a card without using that DSP.  It's so fun to use.  I also stamped the Netting Background stamp onto the Real Red cardstock.  You can barely see it but I like that it's lightly seen.  I think he will enjoy this card.  I'm getting them all stacked up and  ready to swarm him with love. 

You can find all these fun products on my website HERE.  Go browse awhile and look at the pretties in there.  Lots and Lots of fun stuff.  

Have a GREAT week.  

XOXOXO

Oldie but Goodie

I was cleaning my stamp room the other day when I ran across this card.

I jumped onto my blog because I couldn't remember if I had shared it with you.  Come to find out I had NOT.  Way back in September (seems like forever ago) when my sweet friend Cathy was here we had stamped our hearts out.  This was one of the cards that we made together.  It's a mish mosh of all kinds of products.  We even used a few different stamp sets and a sewing machine.  As you can tell I cannot sew a straight line.  Thankfully I just sew on cards and not clothing.  

Anyhoo, the card uses the stamp set Established Elegance and Notes & Details.  We used the Just Add Cake DSP and I loved how the numbers and lined paper went so well with the Typewriter image.  

I have more Valentines to share soon.  You can find these products in my Online Store.  Lots of great toys there and make sure to check out the Clearance Rack.  

Have a FABULOUS week!

Are You Feeling the LOVE?

If not, I hope you will feel the love once I show you all my Valentines.  

Who said Valentines had to be red and pink? Why not PURPLE? Seriously this is WAY WAY outside of my comfort zone.  I'm not super into the color purple. I hardly use it on any of my cards.  However, I thought that these two colors looked pretty good together.  I used Wisteria Wonder and Pool Party  and away I went.  I used the same set as yesterday, P.S. I love you.  The sentiments that you see on the little banners is actually ONE stamp.  I just used my Black Marker and pieced the sentiment onto three pieces of cardstock.  The Heart was die cut using the Sweet Shop DSP and Heart Framelits.  So easy and fun to use.  

I'm off to work on a few swaps for Leadership.  I'm getting excited to see so many of my friends.  I love Stampin' Up! events.  

Have a GREAT Friday the 13th.  

P.S. I love Ya! 

XOXOXO

Can You Believe…

Valentines Day is around the corner? If you've been a follower you know I love to do a Valentines Card blitz for Russ every year.  Last night love was in the air down in my stamp room and I created a blitz of Valentines Day cards.  I like to start my blitz on February 1st and each day I put a card in a crazy place for him to find.  I write my sweet nothings in them or put an occasional coupon in it, hee hee!  He enjoys them and believe it or not he actually keeps these crazy cards on his night stand for the entire year.  I know because I dust around them every week  month.

Over the next few days I'm going to share the start of my blitz.  I'm going to try and start working on a few kid Valentine projects this weekend, too.  It's always best to come up with these things early.  Not that I am one to talk about being on time.  I am just now getting my Christmas cards out.  I like to spread the Christmas cheer a little longer than others.  

This card uses a fun stamp set called P.S. I love You.  Love the name, Love the set.  This set has 15 stamps in it.  You can get the clear set for just  $27.95! Heck of a deal if you ask me.  Besides, who can put a price tag on something when you are making it for your lover? Check it out:

Anyways, I started this card with a Very Vanilla card base.  I then adhered the First Edition DSP to the front of the card and used my snazzy Edgelits Die and cut the bottom.  Then I added a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to the backside of the front panel and embossed with the Adorning Accents Embossing Folder.  WOW! Just a little snazzy texture embossing packs a HARD punch on this card.  I love it.  

I cut my cool hearts using the Hearts Collection Framelits Die.  LOVE it.  I did a little sewing down the middle on two of the hearts.  I liked how that turned out.  Lastly I added my Cherry Cobbler buttons and a little Blushing Bride Smooch Spray. WOW, love that spray.  It's beautiful.  

Even though it had a little sewing machine action on the card it was still pretty simple.  Wanna know my FAVORITE thing about this stamp set? The fonts! You will love the fonts of the sentiments.  No worries, I pushed the limits on this set last night.  More ideas coming your way with this set.  

If you want this set for yourself, click HERE!  I think it's a must have this Love Season! If you want to check out more of the Occasions Mini, Click HERE!
