Love you Much!

This set is so stinking cute! It's called Love You Much. The images are really sweet!

The sentiment I stamped in Early Espresso is from a set called Grateful Greetings. It's a great set to own because you have sentiments and verses for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine's Day. If you are looking for a set that works for multiple Holiday's, this would be one of them for sure!

I used Real Red cardstock, Early Espresso cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Brights DSP Patterns Pack, Bitty Buttons, Real Red Grosgrain ribbon and Linen Thread tied in the holes of the button.

I stamped the Love you much image in Early Espresso...the Valentine Greetings sentiment was also stamped in the same color. I took my Real Red and Tempting Turquoise inkpads, smooshed (yes, that is a technical term!) the top and bottom together to transfer the ink to the lid of the inkpad, picked up color with my Blender Pen, and colored the LOVE image. I tore the bottom of the whisper white for some textured then glued everything down with our Snail Adhesive.

If there is ever anything that you want me to show a tutorial on, let me know. I'm more than happy to show you anything I can.

Thanks for visiting me!

Days of Christmas: Day 8

Can you believe we are already on Day 8 of my Days of Christmas blog posts?!

Amazing how time flies.

This card features the Hostess Stamp set Northern Hearts from the Holiday Mini Catalog. This set's so fun with this fun wreath, snowflakes and a cute little bird image. I love how there are some coordinating items in the mini that go with this set.



















I used the Holly Jolly Designer Series Paper along with Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and the Deck the Halls Big Designer Buttons. I punched out a border with the Eyelet Border Punch. I cut out the circles with the Circle Scissor Plus and Glass Mat. I popped up the circle with dimensionals.

Come back tomorrow for great ideas. Thanks for stopping by!

Days of Christmas: Day 7

Today I am featuring a product from the Holiday Mini. It's the We Wish You a Merry Christmas Stampin' Sound card. We also have a Recordable Stampin' Sound card that you can record a message up to 10 seconds long. I decided to go with the pre-recorded card. It plays "We Wish You a Merry Christmas".

This is the inside of the card.

I used Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper. I'm not much of a vintage look person, but this DSP is gorgeous! I layered the DSP on Early Espresso cardstock and Crumb Cake cardstock. On the front of the card I stamped the sentiment "Peace on Earth" from the set Peaceful Season, in Cherry Cobbler, then the image of earth on a string in Always Artichoke. I used a little Very Vanilla Seam Binding, added an Artichoke button from the Deck the Halls Big Designer Buttons, and tied some Deck the Halls Fabric inside the button. I love that effect!

On the inside of the card, I used the sentiment from Christmas Greetings. I also added in some Silver Tinsel Trim ontop of the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding.

These cards are really fun, and you can create them for any occasion. They'd be great for a Birthday card, for someone that lives long distance.

Here is another idea for the Stampin' Sound card, from my Stampin' Up! website.

Thanks for stoppig by!
