I Like U a Latte Card



Still working on my Valentine's Day cards, so I decided to dust off one of my older sets, I Like It A Latte. I changed the "It" to a "U". I saw a few samples back when I first got the set that did this, so I can't take credit for the idea, but I like the way it came out! This is also my first square card! It measures 5.25" by 5.25". The inside sentiment says "Sending warm thoughts your way."  Thanks for looking and let me know what you think!

Card Stock: Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Whisper White

Love Bugs Card


I've been trying to build up some Valentine inventory over at my Etsy store and this is one of the cards I just posted. The inside of the card reads Valentine (please be mine) from the Holiday Best stamp set. The sheer black ribbon gives this card just the right touch. I love the pink and black color combo too! Let me know what you think and as always thanks for stopping by!

Medallion Thanks



I'm still in the process of making and sending out thank you's from the holidays! So I needed to come up with a design that would be elegant, yet simple to recreate and this is what I came up with. I was inspired by so many of the beautiful creations from fellow stampers on SCS. The color combo was also inspired by this month's edition of Stampin' Success! I used a little rhinestone in the middle to add an element of bling which I got over at Paper Crafters Paradise. Let me know what you think and as always thanks for looking!



Stamps: Medallion, Sincere Salutations
Paper: Elegant Eggplant, Barely Banana
Inks: Elegant Eggplant, Barely Banana
Punches: Scallop Oval, Large Oval, Scallop Circle

Winter One-derland Thank You


Now that the holidays are over, I can finally post the thank you card I made to coordinate with the Winter One-derland theme! I used the Snow Swirled stamp set for the snowflakes stamped in Gable Green and Pink Passion inks. I then used the Snowflake punch with a brad for the focal point of the card and used the scallop oval and large oval punches for the Thank You sentiment from the Warmest Regards stamp set. I really liked the way this came out and complimented the Winter One-derland invitation perfectly!

Birthday Gift Card Holder


One of my close friends was celebrating a big birthday and I decided to create a gift card holder for her gift card. I got the instructions for making this gift card from DOstamping with Dawn. She gives great simple instructions to follow! I used Rhich Razzelberry, Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Pale Plum card stock. I decorated the inside using one of the retired stamp sets from SU!, I Like It a Latte, since the gift card was for Starbuck's! Thanks for looking!
