Hello  Friends!
Today's card is a Valentine's card using the Stampin' Up! Bird Builder Punch and the Hearts a Flutter Stamp set.  As you may all haven seen lately, I've been on a WHITE card stock craze and I have been loving the simplicity of my cards!  Today's card is no different and the pop of Real Red sure makes it lovely don't you think??? 

Thank you for stopping by and I will be by your blogs real soon!  I've just been really busy at work with end of month and year stuff such  W-2's, 1099 and so much more... so please bare with me as my work schedule calms down:)  Thanks again for stopping by and have a fantastic Thursday my Friends!!!

A close up of the two LOVE BIRDS hee hee:)  The base of 
course is all Whisper White with a pop of Real Red.  I also used the Hearts a Flutter Stamp set and cut out the hearts but you could use the dies that are sold separately to match the stamp set.


The hearts and the Whisper White layer are popped up with 
some Stampin' dimensionals.  The sentiment is the the Loving Thoughts Stamp set and was stamped using the Gray Momento Ink.

Hello Friends!
Today's card was totally inspired by a card Shelly Gardner created on stage using the Flower Trim and doillie.  The sample boards over at Stampin' Up! Leadership 2013 also had some amazing samples using the Doillies and so I thought I would give it a go:) 

I of course had to order the lovely "Flower Trim" item#126869 after I saw Shelly use the Flower Trim and Tea Lace Doillie. You should head on over and check out Shelly's blog here for all the lovely cards she has created using these products.Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today's card!


Check out that lovely Flower Trim! You can dye the trim with our Re-inkers and imagine the possibilities, you know I will be using the trim a lot more! I also sprayed on the Basic Gray with our Color Spritzer Tool and stamped the Tea Lace Dollie with the image from the Tea Shoppe stamp set and the sentiment is from the stamp set Loving Thoughts.


I added the pearls for some interest on the embossed flowers and the layered butterflies  are available to purchase at my online store HERE.  I hope you liked it:)

You can take a look at the catalog HERE and tell me which products you would add to your WISH LIST and see if it will be on my next giveaway coming up real soon!!

Today's card is a sketch from The Paper Players and I just loved playing with the sketch and the stamp set called Oh, Hello item#130733.  Thank you for stopping by today my sweet friends!!


I used the Floral Frames Framelits Dies at the very button in Whisper White and used the 2-1/2" circle punch and circle spellbinders for the top circle.  I stamped the background and flower with the Oh, Hello Stamp Set.  I stamped and popped up the flower for some dimension in Cherry Cobbler.


I dry embossed the Crumb Cake layer with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder and I also used one of my favorite In Color retired card stock Peach Parfait.  What do you think about the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon ?? This has to be my favorite type of Ribbon to use:)

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!  Did you all have a great weekend??? I had such a relaxing weekend with absolutely nothing to do but sleep in and catch up on some of my favorite TV shows, my kind of weekend:)

Today, I have a few cards to share with the FREE stamp set called "Feeling Sentimental" item#129621 I got this stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog with my $50 Stampin' Up! order for FREE and you can check out the catalog HERE


Challenges I'm entering these cards into 
Dynamic Duos - colors below
Less is More - sketch below 
Amuse - Something New
Paper Play Time - Use Brown

I created three cards using all the images from the "Feeling Sentimental" stamp set using Soft Suede and Crumb Cake Classic Ink pads.  I also used a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp some of the images a few times to make them darker.  OMG! you guys I absolutely LOVE using the stamp-a-ma-gig and I forget how AWESOME & precise it can make all the images look!!


I used the NEW "Needlepoint Border Textures Impressions Embossing Folders" which adds a fantastic touch to a very simple card!  I also added some buttons from the Neutrals Designer Buttons Collection with some ribbon. This sentiment is also FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog which you can see HERE called Vintage Verses item#129633.
