Hello Life Valentine

Today's Valentine card is a "warm-up" card using the Hello Life Stamp Set.  Unfortunately, I have not been in my stampin' room much lately and needed to start out with something easy to help get me back in the groove.  This is very basic, but I think it will be a great Valentine for one of the many men in my life.  I created a coordinating liner using the Envelope Liners Framelits and the Neutrals DSP.

The Hello Life stamp set is photopolymer and coordinates with the Hello Life Project Kit.  See both on page 6 of the Occasions Catalog.

Big on You

Big on You is a set of four photopolymer greetings.  They're big enough to fill up most of the card front, leaving little left to decorate.  This makes for a very quick card : )  

For today's card, I embossed the sentiment in white on Crumb Cake card stock and added the new Painted Blooms Cotton Twine, which comes in a set of three colors...Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi & Whisper White...very pretty and they also coordinate with the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper (pg. 19 of the Occasions Catalog).

These are the four greetings included in the Big on You stamp set...

Seasonally Scattered Valentine

I did a little ombre effect with the Seasonally Scattered "love" stamp for today's Quick & Easy Valentine.  I inked the stamp with Rose Red, then inked with Cherry Cobbler on the lower half and used a sponge to blend the two colors.  It's very subtle, but adds a little interest.  Seasonally Scattered is currently in the Holiday Catalog and will only be available through January 5th...get it before it's gone!!  The "you" is one of 30 words in the Crazy About You stamp set coming in the Occasions Catalog beginning January 6th! See supply list at the end of this post.

Soft Sky Endless Wishes

Today's Christmas card is soft and subtle with just a touch of sparkle.  I used the Endless Wishes set to stamp the snowflakes in Soft Sky and Pear Pizzazz and then added a Rhinestone Jewel to the center of each.  Endless Wishes is a photopolymer set, completely clear, so it was easy to perfectly position the words in the sentiment while stamping.  The finished size is 4 1/4" square.

Festival of Trees Thank You

After all the gift-giving of the holidays, I'm in need of thank you cards.  Today's card is not only pretty, but also easy to make!  I used the tree image from the Festival of Trees Stamp Set with Cherry Cobbler ink and the "thank you" sentiment from the Gifts of Kindness set.  After stamping the tree, I added the tiny pearls to the center of each flower.  

This is such a quick and easy card and I could easily change the sentiment to make it a Christmas card.  I love that I can make a stack of these in a hurry!

Seasonally Scattered

Another beautiful Seasonally Scattered "Thanks" card.  This stamp packs such a "wow factor" simply by adding different colors of ink before stamping the image.  For today's card, I inked the stamp with Hello Honey first, then randomly added Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow ink with Sponge Daubers before stamping the image onto Very Vanilla card stock.  I love the way all these colors fade into each other to create beautiful Fall leaves.  I added some fun Autumn Wooden Elements with the Old Olive fibers from the Two-Tone Trim...it was really easy to separate the Old Olive fibers from the Natural fibers simply by pulling them apart.

Holiday Home

This is one of four cards we'll be making at my Make 'N Take Card Class tonight.  I used the Holiday Home Stamp Set and coordinating Homemade Holiday Framelits to create this clean and simple Thanksgiving card.  The stamp set and framelits are offered in a bundle at a 15% discount! 

I love these whimsical Fall leaves.  I used Tangelo Twist, Cajun Craze and Hello Honey inks to stamp them...perfect autumn colors.  And since this is a photopolymer stamp set...completely clear, I was able to see exactly where I wanted to stamp the leaves. Since the photopolymer is flexible, I was able to position the sentiment onto the clear block with a little bit of a curve...so fun!!

Zoo Babies Gift Card & Weekly Deals

Today's project is a sweet little gift card I made for my daughter-in-law's baby shower.  I used this darling elephant image from the Zoo Babies stamp set along with a couple of punches to create a "Quick & Easy" gift card.  

The coordinating envelope makes it extra special : )  I used the Envelope Liners Framelits and Coastal Cabana chevron designer series paper to jazz up a plain white 3x3" Envelope.
