Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2009 By Connie | 1 Comment

Woohoo! I did have good news when I got home yesterday. One of my Love You Much cards (posted HERE) made it to Stampers Showcase! Stampers Showcase is on the demonstrator side of Stampin’ Up!’s website and a wonderful resource for demos to find cards they can use in their workshops. This card was one that I made for the Control Freaks swap.

I didn’t get many Valentine cards made to send out this year, although I did send a few. The prototype for this card was a Shoebox Swap that I made for an upline meeting in December. I still have a lot of Georgia Peach left from an earlier class I did, so I decided to use up some of the checked designer paper. I love the colors in this paper and thought they’d make a great Valentine’s card!

I started with a base of So Saffron and added a strip of the stripe DSP inside along the bottom. Then I used a layer of Regal Rose on the front and a strip of the checked DSP on the front. I stamped Love You Much in Regal Rose on Whisper White and added a Saffron mini brad in the center of the flower and layered it onto So Saffron. I stamped the hearts with Regal Rose on Pretty in Pink and punched with the Heart to Heart punch…the small one went in the center of the O. I added a strip of Old Olive and pierced a row of holes down the center leading to the other punched hearts on the right.

Hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I had an awesome time visiting my friends and teaching a couple classes over the past couple days. Wish I got to see them more.

Set: Love You Much
C/S: Regal Rose, Whisper White, So Saffron, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, Georgia Peach (retired)
Inks: Regal Rose
Other: Piercing tool, Heart to Heart punch, Saffron mini brad

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and had my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
