SSC355 Happy Birthday Butterfly

Happy Monday, peeps!  After a very cold and windy weekend, it's a fairly nice Monday!  I had a little stamping time today to create a card using the Sunday Stamps sketch:

Ooh, I love all those layers!  I thought I'd play with some of the papers from the Serene Love DSP line, choosing some pretty Lost Lagoon patterns.  Here we go:

I layered the panels on Lost Lagoon cardstock; the center panel was a piece of Basic White I had floating around unused; it was embossed with the Distressed Tile embossing folder.  I added a butterfly from Sketched Butterflies and a sentiment from the new Spring Corners set.  The silver dots on the circle are from that set, too!

My inside sentiment is from Hugs for Love, and I messed it up, so I created some layers to hide my mistake:

I always need birthday cards, so this will go in my stash!  Thanks for popping in today!

Our church had a missions fundraiser on Saturday night and my nephew and his family attended.  Little Maven is now walking, although in this picture, her Pop Pop is giving her some giggles:

I noticed she had a couple little booboos on her forehead, nose and chin, and when I asked her mom about it, she told me Maven was walking in the yard and the wind was so strong, it knocked her over!!!  Wowza! She seemed no worse the wear, though!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Little Gifty Things

 Hi peeps! Just popping in with a quick little post; I wanted to make Cassidy a little candy gift for Valentine's and while I was at it, I made a tea bag gift for a friend of mine as well:

These are super-easy to make; you can google tea bag holder and find some tutorials.  I used the video from Brenda Keenan; you can see it HERE.  It only uses one piece of 6x6 DSP along with whatever scraps you need for embellishments!

I used the Toadstool Gardens DSP along with the Hugs for Love stamp on the candy one, along with some Fresh Freesia ribbon.  The tea bag holder used some Lemon Lime Twist retired DSP along with Hugs For Love, Banner Year and Little Delights stamps.  I did diecut a little Daffodil Delight with the retired Pierced Blooms dies, and I used a retired oval punch too!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

From My Heart to Yours

Happy Friday, everyone! And a love-filled Happy Valentine's Day to all my dear stamping friends out there! I've gotten several beautiful cards already! How fun!  My card today is for my own special Valentine!  I used the Just Add Ink sketch as well as the challenge to use red from Little Red Wagon:

I pulled out some older retired goodies and went to work:

I used the Perennial Postage dies to cut out my little postage stamp elements, backed them with some retired red DSP and stamped some Valentine-ish images and sentiments on each one! I think my favorite might be the chocolate-covered strawberry!  Yum! I added the little numbers (rather crookedly, I admit) with a tiny little peg stamp called Simple Serif:

I backed it on a piece of Basic White, embossed with the Dotted Circles embossing folder and then put it on an Early Espresso card base.  I forgot to take a picture of the inside, and it's already sealed in an envelope, so you'll have to just imagine! 

Thanks for popping in today, I hope you have a wonderful day with those whom you love!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

AHSC609 Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Monday, everyone!  I am playing with the latest Atlantic Hearts sketch this week, along with some new products that will be coming from SU real soon!  Here's the sketch:

And here's my card:

My card uses the new Hugs for Love bundle and the pretty Timeless Plaid papers for an out-of-the box-color Valentine!  The images were stamped in Calypso Coral and Misty Moonlight, and I used the punch that goes with the bundle.  I also used Spotlight on Nature and Everyday Details dies for my shapes.  

Here's the inside:

These are pretty colors together and the images are lots of fun to stamp!  I hope you'll play with our sketch this week! It's a great sketch to use up little bits of DSP, so have some fun with it!  Thanks for visiting today, enjoy it and be blessed!
