Happy Valentines Day

 Just a quick post to share some of my
samples for Valentines & other beloved occasions!
Happy wedding day (tomorrow) to my beautiful GF Dan & a Happy 1st Anniversary to my wonderful gorgeous niece xx

Love Two Tone Bow card

This card was a special order for an Anniversary. The Two Tone Ribbon is so beautiful & it's easy to tie bows with. I have had the Ribbon for a a couple of months now & this is the first time I've used it, still to try the black/grey one & I think this card would look great in those tones so will give that a go. Colours are Pink Pirouette, Rose Red (stamped off) & Whisper White. "Morning Post Alphabet" stamp set, 1" square & postage stamp punch's.

Heart Framelits Double Easel Card

 I saw this idea & tutorial with the Hearts Collection Framelits (125599) over at the stamp doc & loved it so had a play & this is what I came up with using some gorgeous new products.
I do quite like them as individual easel cards though but the double easel is a big wow!
I dyed the flower (cut 1) from the Flower Trim (126869) with Crumb Cake re-inker & Aqua Painter -I like this technique best but using a dauber & ink pad works nicely as well.

Greeting Card Kids Valentine

A sweet card for Valentines or just to say I love you.
I sponged the Doily with Pool Party ink & swiped over the embossed folder layer with White Craft ink a little as I don't yet have the Co-ordinations Pool Party CS, which I would have used if I had.

Attic Boutique Blossom Butterly

I love how versatile punch's can be, the Blossom punch is cut to resemble & a Butterfly on this card by cutting away 2 petals, a more realistic shaped butterfly can also be achieved by cutting 2 petals but from opposite ends of the Blossom. The quote is from "Butterfly Prints" stamp set & it nestles perfectly in the Oval punch which also perfectly mounts onto the 2nd smallest Framelits labels (I've also dry embossed this piece with the oval Designer Frame embossing Folder).

Happy Valentines Day

 A few Valentines cards to share.
The first one is my favourite & I love the colour combo of Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral.

Broadsheet Alphabet Stamp set

Candy Conversations A la Carte stamp

Punch Art Bee BE MINE, VALENTINE

I like to keep up to date with Stampin' Up! -obviously here in Oz but also in other countries & this punch art bee I stumbled upon while checking out USA's recent leadership conference, unfortunately creator unknown as pic was taken from a display board. I tweeked a couple of bits, the face, which looked to be hand cut out of the ornament punch, I used the Full Heart punch & fed it back into the wide Oval to oval off the chin. I also added a heart for the nose from the Heart to Heart Punch instead of a round one, (apologies for using a chipped heart & since the pic was taken I have replaced it) i used Vellum CS for the wings, I didn't add pink circles for cheeks & my eyes slightly differ. It's hard to see the red shimmer in the pic but the Glimmer paper really makes this super cute. For the background I inked up block E with Crumb Cake & stamped it on the Whisper White.
Ingredients:
Candy Conversations stamp, Ornament, Full Heart, Heart to Heart, Butterfly, Itty Bitty Punch's, Red Glimmer, Basic Black, Whisper White & Vellum CS, Crumb Cake ink, Black & Red markers.

Everyday Enchantment hearts

A simpler version of this card here

Step 1. Place the 2 3/4" piece of Pool Party CS in to the Full Heart punch all the way down & centre before you punch out the heart.
Step 2. Run this piece through the bigshot in the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.
Step 3. Tie some Everyday Enchantment ribbon in a bow around the left side of the CS.
Step 4. Adhere with mini glue dots the small hearts from the Heart to Heart punch to the ends of White Bakers Twine which was threaded around the bow.
Step 5. Adhere with Dimensionals the 2 3/4" finished peice to the Very Vanilla cardfront.
Step 6. Adhere with snail the punched out DSP Full Heart to the centre.

Everyday Enchantment

I have had a little time to stamp last night & today & use some new product that's on offer for free during SAB, gorgeous Everyday Enchantment DSP, Ribbons & Brads, so thought I'd share a cute little 3 x 3 card I made using some of those. The largest heart is a Movers & Shapers & even though I don't have the magnetic movers & Shapers I can still use my punched windows with my Scallop Square Die because it has a clear top, see pic below. The next heart is the Scalloped heart of Hearts Embosslits Die, then the Full heart punch, the 4th heart is a Heart to Hearts punch & the last & smallest 3 are the Small Hearts punch -the centre one I've stamped with the smallest heart from I Heart hearts stamp set.

I had to try ruffling a larger circle & then I cased the idea of the clip & heart punched out of a circle from a Stampin' Up! display board, so I'm not sure who to give credit here-  whoever you are I love it.

Simply Said cards

I made these cards months ago, the design was cased from SC, I chose one of my favourite colour combo's Sage Shadow, Ruby Red & Chocolate Chip with Confetti White, I love the use of this set this way & below is another colour combo Perfect Plum, Bashful Blue & old Olive but a 4 x 4" card I had a few months ago as a make-n-take, this design is also in the new Idea Book & Catalogue on pg 51, so if you have this set you should give it a go.

Always on my mind

I've managed to get a little stamping time in between visitors over the past few weeks, I have so much I want to do now that I have my new sets from the Spring mini & this set "Always" is for my niece as she loves it but before I part with it I had to have a play, the colours are Chocolate Chip, Rose red & Naturals Ivory, I stamped the bird first & masked it before stamping "En Francais" (just inked up a 1/4 of it) I sponged -with a sponge & edges with daubers, I stamped the branch image in both creamy Caramel & Chocolate Chip, I only inked up some of the quote & added some hodgepodge & finished it with some Chocolate satin ribbon -to big?? I wasn't sure but I had to use it, it is so pretty & suprisingly easy to tie.

Love Floral

Make this card in the "Bling" class Floral background stamped in lovely lilac ink on lovely lilac cardstock, backed onto so saffron card, Dream come true stamps, with love heart image embossed with dazzling diamonds & cut out & adhered to love image with a dimensional.
