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.

Valentine Event with a Helper!

As we do throughout the year, my upline Kathy and another fellow demonstrator Robin and I get together to present events.

Our first even this year is for Valentine's Day.  I decided to do some searching to find treat holders.  One of my cards didn't go over so well last year and I wanted (needed) to make a change.  Lots of the people I know give treats more often than cards - and Valentine's Day is perfect for treat giving.
 I found this video on making the Ferrero Rocher mini coffee cup holders.  I really love the Ferrero Rocher! 
These can be made from any patterned paper.  Thicker paper will require more sturdy adhesive.  On the green flowered version, I just used a regular tape runner.

My next treat holder features my helper!  I actually redesigned this treat holder from a version I'm presenting for Mother's Day.  The treat inside is a lip gloss!  For our event, I went and got all the flavored gloss. {Fun!}

 Introducing... my Panda helper!  I took the pictures of these projects pretty quickly, and Sandy was hanging around.  He's a good kitty, but not very cuddly. 

I just happened to catch him checking out the lip gloss.  Lucky shot!


Now for the card I'm presenting.  It's a very easy design and can be used for much more than Valentine's Day.  Tell the people you love that you love them.  Always and often.

I used Rich Razzleberry cardstock as my background, and gold foil paper with the Large Letter Thinlits.  I hope you can get the true feeling of this card.  It's stunning.  The paper has gold foil accents.

There he is again.  Softest kitty ever, and I do love him!  My Panda helper.

This is the first time I've used an entire pack of Designer Series Paper.  Yes, I have another pack since I ordered two, but I find it pretty exciting!  I used an entire pack of DSP for one event.  YAY!

Valentine Stamp-A-Stack Cards and Mini-Treat Bag

Get READY!  Valentine's for crafters is already upon us!

My husband said, "You're already making Valentine cards?"  My reply, "YES!"  You have to design them, make the cards, then tweak them so they look good... it takes time!  Plus, you need to get them in the mail in time for deliveries.  AND if you're making treat bags for kids' friends, or co-workers, you have to get a move on those to have them ready!  Sheesh!! :)  His answer.... "Oh."  That was it! :)

SO the group I belong to is having a Valentine Stamp-A-Stack this Saturday!  These cards are my offerings to the groups projects.

First, the treat bag.
How cute is that?  It holds 2 of the Ghirardelli chocolates perfectly.  I found a Dark Chocolate Strawberry, and a Milk and White chocolate heart piece.  So perfect for Valentine's treats!

Then a card I CASEd from Pinterest.  I saw it, and it was SO pretty...  I knew our group would love it.
Then my design.  I LOVE these lady stamps so much!
I fussy cut her dress after stamping the image twice.  Once on the card, and once on patterned paper. Cut it closely, and adhere with some Zig pen liquid glue.

I also used a double-stamping technique here.  Stamp first with Blushing Bride ink, clean the stamp, and then stamp again in red BUT offset it a little...to make the pink look like a shadow.
I also added a touch of Wink of Stella to the white polka dots on her dress, and the lips as well.

To color the woman, I used the NEW Stampin' Up! Watercolor pencils!  I AM IN LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I added just a touch of Calypso coral for her skin and moved the color around with the blender pen.  Then I went a little darker on her hat, and even darker under her brim (in shadow, you know).  Spread the red around with the blender pen, and you get an absolutely wonderful look!
