Be My Valentine 2

Here is another round of Valentine cards. I made these cards at my daughter's card class. They are cute and were super easy to put together.

Let me know if you have any questions!


This card uses Whisper White base, Real Red and Regal Rose backgrounds, the Modern Label, Petal Card, and Small Heart Punches, Tiny Tiny Wishes and Valentine Defined stamp sets, and Love Impressions Designer Paper, Regal Rose and VersaMark Ink.

I think this is my favorite of the three because it is so elegant. It uses Whisper White and Basic Black for the base and background, the heart is Red Glimmer Paper, Pretty In Pink Satin Ribbon, Elegant Lines Embossing Folder, Rhinestones (don't know the stamp set for "love you"), Basic Black Ink
Regal Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White Card Stock, Valentine Defined Stamp Set, two oval punches, Rhinestones, Real Red Ink

This is the great thing about card classes, you get to make 8 cards in a couple of hours and your demonstrator has all the supplies, stamp sets, equipment, and paper cut for you. You get to make great cards without a huge expense.

My next card class is Saturday, February 19 at 10 a.m. Let me know if you'd like to attend so I can have everything prepared for you. Of course, we won't be making Valentine cards, but we'll be making others that are super cute and nice. The class is $12 or FREE with a $24 purchase. But don't forget about Sale-A-Bration - FREE stamp set for every $50 in catalog purchases! More bang for your buck!!!

Be My Valentine 1

That red, pink, and heart shaped holiday is just around the corner (next Monday in case you haven't checked your calendar). In the demonstrator world, we have been cranking out Valentine themed items for a month or more now. I have a stash. Here's a couple of projects I created and in the next few days, I'll feature cards others have made.

Speaking of that heart shape, I <3 FREE stuff, don't you!? This is the best time of year to get some free stamp sets. SALE-A-BRATION is when customers get a SAB stamp set for free with every $50 purchase, hostesses get an extra stamp set when they host a $300 or more workshop. To make it even sweeter, signing up as a demonstrator has it's own incentive as well: 15% off the new demonstrator kit AND an extra bundle of goodies valued at up to $50 is added. Now that's what I call SWEET! Take advantage by contacting me!

This is my February workshop make-and-take:

The owl punch combined with Real Red cardstock and Designer Paper or Regal Rose cardstock and Melon Mambo Designer Paper makes a super cute and simple Valentine gift. I also added a magnet strip to the back to hang on the refrigerator.

This next card is one I created for my January unit meeting. Those who want make a stack of cards and we have a contest and swap. A few get prizes and everyone who participates gets to go home with a bunch of new samples and ideas. Here's mine - I won 2nd place (after a tie and a drawing to choose the winner...lol!):

The next picture is one I made when I was playing around with the flowers. You'll see. I will make another post later about the flowers. I have really connected with these paper flowers and made a bunch (no pun intended) of cards with them. I could continue making them, but I worry I may get in a rut doing it ;-)



This shows the detail of the flower.
I'd love comments and if you have any questions, let me know!

BTW, all the stamp images on these cards are registered to Stampin' Up! I don't have one of those fancy signature things yet, but I have ordered it.
