Valentine's Day Card


This is the card I made for my honey for Valentine's Day! I always want to buy him one but that is so lame since I spend so much money on all of this stuff that takes up sooo much space in our house....lol
Anyway, what I used on this card is this.....
cardstock: pink pirouette, red riding hood, whisper white and bella rose DSP
ink: red riding hood
ribbon: whisper white organza *NEW*
stamps: Define Your Life and A Little Somethin' (level 2 hostess set)
misc: stampin' dimensionals, white gel pen, scallop border punch, Big Shot scallop envelope die (Stampin' Up! exclusive die).
I chose the journey stamp because I thought it just fit us....we have had a journey together....we will be together 19 years next month....it just does not seem possible and I never really thought it would last....lol

Thoughts & Prayers

Cardstocks: chocolate chip, kraft and very vanilla
Ink: chocolate chip
Stamps: Thoughts & Prayers and Sanded (background)
Misc.: sponge, stampin' dimensionals, very vanilla hodgepodge hardware and of course, the Big Shot top note die.

This is my first box made with the big shot top note die. The stamp, designer paper and ribbon are all from the sale-a-bration catalog!! AND you can get those FREE if you purchase $50 or more from the spring/summer catalog!!!! You get your choice of 4 different stamp sets, ribbon or designer series paper. You get to choose one for every $50 spent before tax and shipping!!!
Ink used is certainly celery, cardstock is barely banana, whisper white and certainly celery (shadowing the scallop circle punch and on the bottoms of both of the top notes) and the scalloped circle punch.

Baby Girl Announcement


I made this out of the Big Shot Bigz scallop circle, the exclusive SU Birds and Blooms die set and the scallop circle punch. I used whisper white, basic black and pretty in pink cardstock. Inks used were whisper white and pretty in pink (craft). The sentiment is from the Many Merry Messages set and the wheel was So Swirly and I also used clear embossing powder, white gel pen, pretty in pink grosgrain ribbon, spiral punch,ticket corner punch, crimper and stampin' dimensionals.

Lovely As A Tree



Ok, this really is not a new card (for those of you that look at my other blog) but it is all SU products so I thought I would put it on here (for those of you that do not look at my other blog!).
I used Going Gray, Basic Gray and Basic Black cardstocks for these cards.
The first card, I stamped in versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then sponged Whisper White craft ink all over the stamped image. After I got my desired effect, I took a paper towel and wiped the excess ink off of my stamped images. I added some Basic Gray taffeta ribbon and thought it made a very simple pretty card.
The second card, I stamped with versamark and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. I accented with silver brads and black 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. I finished it off with a stamped sentiment from Heard From the Heart stamp set.
Both very simple and easy to make!!
