Heather's With All My Heart card...

If you have 12" x 12" card stock, it's fun to cut it into 6" squares for cards. It's a perfect size in which to include money or a check.

Heather W. joined our American Ink group meeting this month and shared this great make & take. We always welcome "stray" demos!

This is a Chocolate Chip card with a 3" square piece of designer paper on top, a banner with the sentiment, then a piece of So Saffron card stock that's been Scallop Border punched on both sides.

The largest image from the With All My Heart stamp set was stamped in Rose Red then punched with the Extra Large Fancy Flower punch (available in the Occasions Mini till April 30). It's adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals, as is the Certainly Celery button.

With All My Heart Leadership card...

I tweaked this Leadership Conference make & take to a horizontal card.

It uses the Dot, Dot, Dot stamp from the Occasions Mini, as well as the Big Flower Punch, With All My Heart stamp set and striped Bashful Blue ribbon.

We made two of these, giving one to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

I (Heart) Hearts...

The new I (Heart) Hearts set has a variety of fun hearts to play with. My favorite is the one shown here.

The heart was stamped in Real Red and cut out. I added lots of Dazzling Diamonds glitter with a 2-way glue pen and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals over four 1-3/8" squares punched from the Sending Love designer paper. Those squares are layered on Pretty in Pink and then Real Red card stock.

The sentiment is from the stamp set with that name.

Don't have the satin ribbon yet? Order it all! It's absolutely luscious in all the colors offered in the Occasions Mini. Contact me at ericandterry@comcast.net and I can order it for you today!

(Note: With every purchase of I (Heart) Hearts, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 to aid Haiti's earthquake victims.)

Extra large two-step bird punch card...

Wow, have you played with the new Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch yet? It's awesome, and it's available in the Occasions Mini.

When used with double-sided designer paper, it's easy to create a card like the one at right, which was a recent make & take supplied by Kim.

Using the With All My Heart stamp set, we stamped flowers in Pretty in Pink and Real Red ink on the Very Vanilla card stock base, then added a big scallop circle (Big Shot die) that's also been stamped and has a couple inches of Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon adhered in a loop at the top.

The two-step bird punch is so cool. You can change it up with scraps of paper for many interesting combinations.

With All My Heart...

You'll love this Bride specialty paper! See how it shines? And it resists ink too, meaning you can sponge over it and the pattern will show through! Pretty....

This was one of my stamp-a-stack cards yesterday, as well as the one below. This Whisper White card is punched with the Eyelet Border Punch, with a 4-1/4" x 3" piece of Bride specialty paper above that.

A knot of Rich Razzleberry ribbon is knotted where the papers meet, and a sentiment from the new With All My Heart (Occasions Mini 2010) stamp set inked in Rich Razzleberry.

The medallion is a stamp from the set above punched out with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch, then layered on a Rich Razzleberry Scallop Circle. The whole thing is adhered to the card with dimensionals.
