St. Patrick's Day

Although I don't send St. Patrick's day cards I do like this design and can send it to my Aunt Pat that was born on St. Patrick's day (hence the name Aunt Pat). I like that this card features our new label classic framelit dies. I am absolutely enjoying the dimension that these little babies add to a project!  But wait that is not all!  Check out the little bitty hearts made with the Fashionable hearts embosslit!  They are adorable and versitile. They are so much more that just a heart.

Framelits & Edgelits

I am so glad that Stampin' Up! has come out with these awesome waifer dies. They create such a beautiful look to any card. The center of the card was done using the Framelit dies (Label Classic - 125598. I used the 2nd & 3rd sizes. I embossed the center of the smaller piece with the designer frame embossing folder(123130). The center image was punched out using the wide oval punch - how about that! It fits perfectly into the designer frame embossing folder! Before you cut the edge of the cardstock you need to score the center of the card. It acts as a guide for you to determine where to place the edgelit. Once you have cut the edge with the Adorning Accents Edgelit die (125595) you can emboss it with the Adorning Accents textured impressions embossing folders (125601). Voila!  What do you think?

Happy Valentine's Day

Well I hope today is a special day for you. This card features the label classic framelit dies and the heart framelit dies.

1 Day to Valentine's Countdown

Here is a slightly different Valentine. Not your typical romantic one but and "angry" one - hee hee.
Angry Birds are everywhere and wouldn't this be a cute V-Day card for a kid?  I have no idea if these birds have names or anything - I don't really know much about them other than they are kinda cute - albeit angry.  I love punch art because you are simply punching various shapes and adhering them together to create your picture. The sky is the limit! In this case, the circle punches, Big Shot Dies, and Heart Framelits were used.

Card Measurements:
Real Red Card Stock Base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Whisper White Card Stock Layer: 5 1/4" x 4"
Daffodil Delight Angry Bird: Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die
Real Red Angry Bird: 1 3/4" Circle Punch
Pacific Point Angry Bird: 1 3/8" Circle Punch
C/S: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red
Stamp: P.S. I Love You
Accessories: Heart Framelits, Perfect Pennants Die, Petal Cone Die, Circles #2 Die (for layering the Real Red and Pacific Point Angry Bird), Big Shot, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 5-Petal Flower Punch, Photo Corners Punch, Corner Rounder Punch

2 Days to Valentine's Countdown

Now this card was made using the new Cards & Envelops Designer Cuts cards (125414 - $12.50). The front of designer cut card was cut off so that it could be made into a layer. A piece of red cardstock was layered in behind to make the image pop! The heart was made from red glimmer paper and the heart punch. It was layered onto another heart using the heart embosslit dies. I just love the finished edges that were done using the new Adorning Accents Edgelit dies (125595 - $11.95) and the coordinating Adorning Accents embossing folders (125604 - $10.95).

3 Days to Valentine's Countdown

Well I hope you are enjoying these creative Valentine's day projects and are inspiring you to make your own.

I love treat bags. This one is no exception. Now with our new label collection framelit dies (125598), making fancy looking treat bags is a breeze! This treat bag uses 2 of the framelits to give the layers (done in red and black). The red cardstock was then run through the Adorning Accents embossing folder (hearts) to give the texture. The cupid & the greeting are from P.S. I Love You ( (125460 W $42.95 / 125462 W $33.95).

4 Days to Valentine's Countdown

Sometimes simple is best. This card is one of those examples. The card base is Whisper White and was run through the embossing folder - Framed Tulips (121809). Tiny hearts were punched out with the Small Heart punch (117193) using various pieces of red, pink and white designer paper. And no card is complete without some bling - tiny rhinestones.

5 Days to Valentine's Countdown

Here are some fun treat bags that you can make very easily.
Here are the supplies used for this project:
Stamp: P.S. I Love You (125460 W $42.95 / 125462 C $33.95)
Paper: Black, Melon Mambo, Red, First Edition designer paper & Brights designer pack
Accessories: Rhinestones, Label Framelit die, Full Heart punch, Heart of Heart embosslit. 

6 Days to Valentine's Countdown

How pretty! Simple & clean. This card features the new Heart Collection framelits (125599 - $32.95) and the Textured Impressions Embossing folders - Adorning Accents (125601 - $10.95). After the hearts were cut some of them were run through the big shot with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder. A super easy card to make for a special someone. 

7 Days to Valentine's Countdown

 I love to make wine bottle tags. Here is an idea that might double as a tag or a little gift all on its own.
The stamp set is "P.S I love you" (125460 W $42.95 / 125462 C $33.95).
the shape of the tag was created by using the new Bigz L Die - Dresden Designs (125597 - $40.95). The candies have been put into one of our heart treat cups.
The cardstock used was real red and whisper white. The bow is real red satin ribbon. You can order these supplies from my online store or email me your order. Don't forget you will qualify for a FREE Sale A Bration item!

8 Days to Valentine's Countdown

Here is a super quick and easy card. The card base is our new Designer Cut Cards & Envelops set (125414 - $12.50). These beautiful cards come 8 to a pack (2 designs) with pink envelops. The heart has already been laser cut into the card. All you do is layer a piece of cardstock behind and voila! The tiny heart is also a new item from the Occasion mini - Fashionable hearts embosslit (125596 - $14.95).
The card was finished off with cherry cobbler seam binding and one of the simply adorn key charms.

9 Days to Valentine's Countdown

Cupid, draw back your bow! Several items on this card are using new products from the Occasions mini catalogue. I couldn't resist posting this sample.
The feature of this card is the white doily that was made using the new Paper Doily Sizzlit Die (125592 $26.95). I adds so much character to any project!. Cupid & the greeting are from the "P.S. I love you" stamp set (W-125460 $42.95 / C-125462 $33.95). This was stamped in black on white cardstock and then layered onto a scallop circle. This would be a cute card to give a "special someone".  

10 Days to Valentines Countdown

Are you enjoying my Valentine posts? I hope so. Here is another fun idea. All you need is stamps, classic ink, cotton shirt (needs to be mostly cotton - has to be able to withstand high heat temps in order to make the image transfer) and an iron transfer sheet - Avery Fabric transfer paper for light fabrics.

This projects was done by stamping on the Iron On transfer paper and ironing it onto the tee shirt. We have always been able to stamp directly on fabric, but it hasn't always turned out as bright and vibrant as I had hoped. The Iron On paper used for computer printers does the trick - you should give it a try.

11 Days To Valentines Countdown

Here is a cute idea for dressing up a Valentine's gift - a Valentines Love Banner. The hearts were created witht the Heart Framelits and the "LOVE" is done witht the Serif Alphabet dies. 

12 Days to Valentine's Day Countdown

Look at these beautiful heart boxes. Fill them with a yummy chocolate and they are perfect for that special someone.
The box is made with the Framelit Dies - Hearts Collections (125599 - $32.95) & the new Blossom punch (125603 $22.95). The sides were designed with the new Pleated ribbon (Blushing Bride #125570 - $9.95). Buy all three items (online store) and earn a free Sale A Bration item!

The window was punched out with the curly label punch and the piece was layered on the inside of the card.
