Pretty Miss Valentine Kitty

Hi there and Happy Tuesday! I think this is my last Valentine card share.  Isn't she a sweet kitty? This image is from a very old, very retired SU! set called Have a Heart. 

The details of this card are pretty simple, Kraft, White and Regal Rose cardstocks, Sending Love dsp (retired but in the Clearance section), SU! pink satin ribbon, Scribbles & Swirls sizzlet die, Button sizzlet die, nesties for main image, Dotted and Lattice embossing folders, Photocorner punch, and red glitter.  I also paper pieced the kitty's dress from the designer paper, giving the image a bit more interest than just colouring it.

Thanks for checking in, have a happy day!

Good Day! Well, today's weather looks a little more promising, but I highly doubt that Spring is around the corner! It will be so nice to send this frigid weather on its way!! The sun is shining brightly though, and certainly makes ones spirits lift, even if its still chilly :)

Today I have another Valentine share. This card uses a Penny Black stamp, coloured with SU! markers and Twinkling H2O's.  The base is Regal Rose and White, and the dsp is from last year's mini.  The pearls are from my stash, and I used SU! scalloped border punch along the bottom of the dsp. The gorgeous satin ribbon is SU! as well.

Thanks for checking in and enjoy your Tuesday, hope its a tad warmer where you are :)

Finishing Up My Last Few Valentine's!

Hi there!  I've been hibernating away in my Stamp room, trying to ignore the frigid temperatures outside. :)  At least the sun is shining but it could stand to be warmer; it was -36 Celcius on our deck this morning, that's waaay too cold for my liking!!

I've been concentrating on finishing the last of my Valentine's day cards. I've mailed a few out already (I know, kind of early wasn't it?? I just wasn't thinking....oh well, at least they won't be late!!). My card share today would be a great Masculine card as its not too frilly and uses jute as an embellishment instead of ribbon. Jute is so much more more manly, don't you think?  :)

The card's base is Crumb Cake (don't you just want to run into the kitchen and whip up a cinnamon coffee cake when you hear the name "Crumb Cake"? I know I sure do..!!). 

Layers are Real and Red and Sending Love DSP from last season, although you can still find this particular paper in SU!'s Clearance Section.   I used the Eyelet Border punch on a couple of pieces of Vanilla and  Real Red cardstock and layered together over the dsp, then punched a couple of holes at the top with the Cropodile and threaded a strand of jute through the holes, a couple times over, finishing with a bow. The With Love stamp comes from the Yummy SAB set from last season, stamped on vanilla and punched out with oval and scalloped oval punches.

Thanks for dropping by, I'll have a few more cards to share this week so be sure to check back :)

Happy Stamping and Stay Warm

Four Valentine Hearts

Hi there and Happy Friday! Its been a busy week at our house, how time flies when you have to stay inside because its cold and wintery out there. I have no complaints, I love the excuse to stay in and stamp!!

 I can hardly wait for SAB to start, I have a list of dies, MDS downloads and stamps that I'd like to order, we'll have to see how many sets I qualify for this year! I have quite a Wish List :)

Today's card share is (again!) another Valentine card. This was a simple card, created with an embossed dots folder, the SU! heart punch, pink taffetta ribbon, pink pearls and a scalloped border along the bottom. I wasn't sure how crazy I was about the ribbon in the corner but those I showed it to liked it alot, so I'll leave it. (for now!) :)

Thank you so much for dropping by, I hope you are well and enjoying January at its finest. :)

Hi there!  I can hardly believe how quickly the week has gone by.  We are still experiencing "winter" here, but I guess that's to be expected!! It is January!! I really do enjoy Winter, but only til the end of February, then I begin to anxiously await Spring.

Today's share is another Valentine's Day card.  I figured I'd show you all the ones I made this year, as I was really happy with how they turned out. 

Thanks for dropping  by!

Hello Hello!! I have another Valentine card to share today.  My friend Mel and I made quite a few last week, it was so fun (and relaxing) to stamp and chat.  I think I did most of the talking, Mel is such a good listener. :) Thanks Melody!!

This card was created with the Greeting Card Kids stamp set. I absolutely {heart} this set, its just adorable and so easy to colour.  The base of the card is Kraft, the dies are Spellbinders and I used the Eyelet Border punch along the side of the dsp.  I added a bit of shimmer paint to the little girl's dress, just to add a bit of bling. The darling button is from the SU! sizzlet, I love how I can have a button to match anything I make, all with the roll of the Big Shot handle. Did I ever mention how much I love the Big Shot?? Hmmm, I don't think I have.... :) 

Take care everyone and have a Wonderful Wednesday!!

Punched Valentines

Good Morning Everyone!!  We received quite a bit of snow here on the weekend and are still working on digging out!! We've shovelled the drive and sidewalks several times now, it just doesn't seem to want to go away.  Yesterday afternoon the sun finally decided to shine, so with luck we'll see some more of that.  I don't mind the cold at all, nor do I mind the snow, but I sure don't like gloomy days! Gotta have my sunshine. :)

Today's Valentine is very simple yet quite eye catching.  I had the circles and hearts laying on my desk from another card sketch, and thought I'd try a modern, simple card. I love how it turned out, and thought the button in the middle was a good match to the Pretty In Pink. This could also be a "guy" card I think (minus the pink button though!!).  You could even change the hearts to black and white or blue and white if you wanted.

Thanks for dropping by and hope your day is fabulous!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi there! I wanted to share this card I created using the new stamp set Just Buzzin' By. Aren't those the cutest little bees you've ever seen? I wasn't sure what colour their faces would be, so I left them white. What colour are bees faces anyway? Looks like I'll have to google that. :-)

I thought this set went quite well with the Holidays & Wishes Stamp set. I thought I was quite clever using the sentiment "Just Buzzin' By To Say.." and then on the inside of the card I've used "Happy Valentine's day" from H & Wishes stamp set. :-)

The other sentiment in the Just Buzzin' By set is "Have a Honey of a Day". Now I'm sure I won't use that one too often, but it is cute. But you could use "just buzzin' by to say" on the front, and "happy birthday" inside the card. So the possibilities are endless with this set once you think outside the box. And let's face it, I totally bought this set for those darling bees!! I just think they are the cutest things ever. :-)

Don't you enjoy being able to use your stamps for more than they were intended for? I sure do.

Thanks for stopping by,

Debbie
