Irresistibly Yours

This is the coolest specialty paper ever and you can earn it for FREE during Sale-a-Bration!  I used Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, and Bermuda Bay Blendabilities to color this paper.  Then, almost like magic, it has raised designs that "resist" the coloring in several designs including dots, stars, stripes, shells, etc.  I cut the balloon out with the Balloon Framelits and added some Bermuda Bay Bakers Twine for the string.  The words are from "Big Day" (also SAB).

Happy Valentines Day!

Paper Pumpkin

Look what was in January's Paper Pumpkin Kit!   Enough supplies to make 24 valentine goodies including the bags, tags, banners, glue dots, stamps, hearts, clips, twine, and glue dots.  I only had to buy the M & Ms. I think my stamping classes enjoyed their treats!  If you're not already getting Paper Pumpkin, you should try it!  Every month a kit is mailed to you with all the supplies to make cards or other projects and they just keep getting cuter!  During SAB if you buy a 3-month paid Paper Pumpkin subscription, you can earn a FREE SAB item!

Critters

I think this is one of cutest sets in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  It's called "Cheerful Critters" and has three cute animals each holding a blank sign.  You can then stamp one of the five sayings inside the sign!  I stamped this in Early Espresso and colored the shirt with Calypso Coral.  I mounted it on Crushed Curry, and a piece of Coastal Cabana I stitched on the sewing machine.  The background paper and Calypso Coral ribbon are from Best Year Ever (SAB).

3-D Butterfly

This stamp set has three coordinating thinlits dies and the medium-sized one is used here.  I stamped the background of the card with "Butterfly Basics" in Sahara Sand and Coastal Cabana.  The words are from "Petite Pairs". I used the Circles framelits to cut out a piece of DSP from Best Year Ever (SAB) and mounted that on a Tea Lace Paper Doily.  Last, I added some Basic Pearls to the butterfly. 

Snuggles & Smooches

This card is made from a newly released set called "Snuggles & Smooches".  It contains 12 stamps and can be used for not only Valentines, but wedding and anniversary cards too.  I stamped it in Sahara Sand which coordinates nicely with this Something Borrowed DSP.  I also used the coordinating Sahara Sand Lace Trim (both from the Occasions Mini Catalog).  The card base was made from Pink Pirouette card stock.

Hello You

I cut these little cuties out using the "Hello You" Framelits from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I used the 2-Way Glue Pen to adhere the words inside the cut out and then put a window sheet on the back to hold them in place.  The background paper is from the Birthday Bash DSP collection.  I used the Large Scallop Framelit to make the border and added some Night of Navy 1/2" Seam Binding.  Card stock colors used were Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry.  Which combo do you like better?
