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!

Inks: Basic Black Classic Ink, and various markers
Punches: Scallop border punch, Ticket corner punch
Accessories: sheer black ribbon*

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
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, Rhinestone*
All items Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

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!
