Stamp Your Heart Out Event!

We have so many choices for Valentine card ideas in the current Mini Catalog!  This one stood out to me as a choice I could have fun playing with.

This is the card design I'm presenting for our event.

Here is the inside view of the card.  One tip:  Cut a long piece of Whisper White 11 inches long by 1 1/3 inch.  Stamp 6 or 7 lips down the edge of the card, and punch away!  You'll have a bunch of lips to use for whatever purpose you need.  I punched a bunch from different colored inks, and placed them in little baggies with the ink color.  To cut a bunch of hearts, cut a long strip at 1 inch, and stamp then punch away!

We didn't have any choices for colorful Valentine DSP this year, so for our treat holders, we dug into the DSP we have from other years/events.  This is my treat holder.  I'm sure it holds something else, but I always use the Ferrero Rocher gold hazelnut chocolates. (YUMMM)

This card was my original design.  I like it SO much!  Look closely to see the polka dots on the pink strip of paper.

Pretty Perennials

 This stamp set has so many possibilities!  Over time, you're going to see a lot of cards/projects made with it.  Today I just wanted to do some basic #simplestamping with it.

Stamps, ink, paper, a bit of ribbon, and enamel dots.

There are quite a few colors... and this shows off the Magenta Madness much better than the pictures I took of the zebra card from a few days ago!

I talk often about decorating envelopes.  Yes, I do stamp the back quite often, but I mean the front of the envelope!  I echoed the colors from the card so the stamping was easy while I made the card. 

You'll see this set again.  It has so many possibilities!

Click on the products below to make this very simple, pretty card!  Purchasing the bundle saves 10% off the combined price of the stamps and dies bought separately.

Forever Fern Card Box

This is a gift set either for a friend or yourself!  As you look through this post, you'll ask, "What's missing?"  It's the ribbon!  My shipment of ribbon didn't arrive until after I took the photos!

This project will take us a bit of time during our club meeting.  It's a Mini Paper Pumpkin box decorated with the DSP and mat pieces as well as stamped and gold foil pieces.  All the cards will also get their ribbon embellishments.  I'll provide the gold hoops for the ladies to add to their cards or boxes.  I don't have enough for my projects and theirs.

Whimsy Card Zebra! 2021 Stamp Club

The ladies in my club have asked for more whimsy type stamping ideas.  I actually had the zebra stamps, they just needed to be used.  I also had a request for more ideas using the In-Colors DSP.  

The Magenta color isn't showing well here - it's a really nice bright pink.  I'll work on photographing it so it shows better.

Here we go!

I hope you like this little guy.  He's so cute!  The zebra stamps have lots of different options.

For the greeting on the front, I used a new die from our Mini Catalog that runs from January 5th to the end of June.  You'll see many references to it!
