Thinking of You Note Cards

Good morning!

I thought I'd take a moment and share a set of cards I made last weekend with my new Stampin' Up! goodies. I got them on Friday morning, and stamped away all night and Most of the weekend! :) I love days like that!These note cards feature a stamped sentiment from the new Sale-a-bration cling stamp set 'Whimsical Words', dsp from the Sending Love pack, the new Sale-a-bration Scallop Trim border punch, and some Pretty in Pink corduroy brads! I used circle punches to punch the sentiment, and hand stitched the brown WalMart buttons to the card front. The satin ribbon is Vintage cream from PTI, and the paper flowers are Prima.

The color combo here is Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Kraft, and Vanilla. I found these A1/4bar Kraft envelopes on Ebay! I love them!

I almost have every color of the corduroy buttons and brads from SU. I remember thinking that they should make them in Real Red too, and when I saw them in the Mini catty I just about died!! They are on my desk now baby! I may hoard them for a while now though!!

My husband does not care too much for my cardmaking addiction. He tolerates it at best. So you can imagine how shocked/amazed/surprised/happy I was when he brought me a new rotary paper trimmer and 3 new sets of Inkadinkado clear stamps!!

Boy do I love him!

I really thought that my complaints about my worn out trimmer had gone right over his head, but turns out he was listening! {mark the calendar!} He got the exact one I needed, and he said it was 40% off at JoAnn's Fabric, as were the three stamp sets that he "knew I could use"!

Then he proceeded to tell me that he was going out of town for his job for 2 months, and he thought this would keep me busy and happy while he is gone! Does he know me or what??

{Love you babe! You are the best! Big kiss!}

Okay....I gotta go!

Have a fantastic day!

Caardvarks Red Heart Challenge Note Card Set!

Hello stampers!

I thought I'd share a project I created for the Caardvarks Red Heart Challenge. The challenge is to make something using the color red and to include hearts! It does not get any easier than that, right? The deadline is February 1st, if you want to play along too!

So I made this little note card set, which falls into the Valentine's category, and is red and has a heart!
The card base is Real Red, and the designer paper is SU's Love Sparkles Scrappin' Kit. The heart is from SU's 'Love You Much' stamp set, and is stamped with pigment ink, and heat embossed with clear powder, making the details raised and shiny. I hand stitched the red button to the heart, then attached it using dimensionals, over a panel of Real Red dsp with a Whisper White scalloped border. The paper hydrangea is from Prima, and I attached it with a Whisper White brad, over some cute stitched red ribbon. The shiny brads are from a shop on Ebay, Pink Hedgehog Crafts, I think.Each note card measures 3-1/2 x 4-1/4 inches, and fit inside 4bar/A1 envelopes, which are mailable!
Super cute and fun to make!

I hope you have enjoyed my creations! Thank you for visiting and for all of your heartfelt comments too!

Now go stamp something! :)

Puppy Love Digi Stamp for D2D Artist's Challenge

Hello again ladies!

I have been super busy all week, and have been stamping my heart out! I find that I do a lot more stamping if I stay away from the computer! {far away!} I am sure many of you know what I am saying! :)

The card I am posting tonight is for the Designed2Delight Artist's Challenge. It features the gorgeous image 'Puppy Love'. You can buy this image in Faith Skrdla's Digi Stamp Shop!I actually printed this image out this morning, and worked on it off and on all day! My boys are home from school today, and have been keeping me on my toes! So, I sure am posting this one under the wire!! :) Plus, it is dark, so I apologise for the bad photography!

The color combo is Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, and Vanilla. The pretty dogs are Caramel and Cocoa. The little heart stamp used on the card base, and inside the card, are from Verve. And the sentiment inside, 'Nobody Loves You More Than Me' is from Rosie's Roadshow Stamps.
That about sums it up, I think. Love this image! Love these colors! Can't wait to see the next freebie from Faith!

I {HEART} Designed2Delight Digi Stamps!!

Have a fantastic night!

Another Trio of Valentine's Day Note Cards!

Hey there ladies!

Well, I think I mentioned before that I {LOVE} Valentine's Day! So I won't say it again! :) I did however, express my love through this set of lovely note cards! Can you feel it?

I am almost out of this Real Red dotted dsp, which will be a disappointment. I REALLY like it! And yes, I used the heart stamp from 'Love You Much' by Stampin' Up! again....but I can't help it! It is awesome, and I am drawn to it, like a Jedi force! :) Seriously!

I added beautiful red flowers with Whisper White brads to this set of cards. Love those too! I think I am almost out of the red buttons, so I may have to go buy some more soon.
I cannot wait to receive my latest order from Stampin' Up!. I am in a monthly group, where we take turns being hostess, and we have a minimum buying amount. We also split things in order to make it more economical, which I love! I am waiting on 5 colors of the new satin ribbon, 5 yards of each. I love my Whisper White so much that I hope the new colors are as beautiful.
My order should arrive this week! I am so excited!

Up close!

And here is the inside. These little note cards do not call for a lot of decoration inside, as they are perfectly sized for a quick note, or in this case, a little I Love You! :)

What kind of Valentine's are you creating? Please share a link with me so I can check them out!

Thanks for putting up with me!

Go stamp something!
