ANOTHER VALENTINE - THIS ONE FOR FRIDAY MASHUP #44

I LOVE this card.  The colors, the shape, the shine on the hearts...everything about it.

Red and Rose or pink - they are so pretty together for Valentine's Day, aren't they? I especially like the green as the accent color.  I chose the polka dot ribbon to go with the polka dot DSP.

What do you think of this card?  It is last year's stamp set but I just love this set and can't part with it.

Thanks for looking.  See other cards for Friday Mashup @44 HERE.

Here's to inky fingers y'all

CUTE LITTLE BOX OF THANK YOU CARDS

I HAVE BEEN BUSY THIS WEEKEND IN MY CRAFT ROOM.  I MADE THIS DARLING BOX OF 3 X 3 THANK YOU CARDS IN PEACH PARFAIT AND PEACH PARFAIT DSP. IT IS FOR THE FRIDAY MASHUP!  STOP ON OVER TO SEE THEM AND WHAT THEIR OTHER PARTICPANTS HAVE MADE.

 Here is a top view of the box.  Made with card stock and covered with DSP.

I love how cute this 3 x 3 cards are.  Perfect size to attach to a home made goodie as a special "thank you" or "best friends" gift.

I would love to know what you think of this cute little gift of cards.  It was easy to make and I enjoyed the process.  I am giving this to my mystery "hostess" at my valentine's candy hearts class this week.  One lucky lady will be the HOSTESS of this class and receive the $25 of FREE merchandise.

VALENTINE FUN

Holidays are so fun to celebrate, aren't they?  I love HEARTS so I LOVE Valentine's Day.  I love wooden hearts, metal hearts, JEWELRY HEARTS (hint, hint)  ha!!  I have a few fun items to share with you that you could use for Valentines.

 I made this CUTE candy holder out of the scallop square die and my BIG SHOT.  Isn't it adorable??  This paper is in the clearance rack so I have lots to get me through all the valentine's workshops and classes I have planned.  I am going to use whatever is leftover for my mother's day classes as well.

 Here is a side view so you can see how I just put a small strip of paper between the two die cuts to make the cute candy gift holder.  I also used the scalloped heart embosslit and the large heart punch for the deco on the outside.  LOVE IT.

 I made this for a friend and filled with jelly bellies.  It is made with the mini milk carton die and my BIG SHOT.  (see a pattern here about how versatile the BIG SHOT is for all occasions??!!)  You can decorate your cartons anyway you like.  I used some fine glitter on the heart and used a cute stamp on the other one.  T

This is a one-sided holder that only holds two cartons.  I usually make a double one that holds four cartons.  But this one is sweet and was quick to make up for my friend.  I used glimmer brads to hold the tops closed.

This is a die you MUST GET.  I LOVE my mini milk carton die the best of all my dies I own.  Wait till you see my larger carton I made with the same die next time.!!

go have some fun and get some INKY FINGERS Y'ALL!!

Sunday, Sunday, so good to me....

Sometimes an old song pops into my head from a long time ago.  The Mommas and the Pappas sang this one way back when I was in jr high school I think.

Anyways, thought I would post a cute treat holder I made earlier this week when my mojo was going strong.

This is the Big Shot Mini Milk Carton Die.  LOVE this die.  I use it for all holidays and special events.  It looks different every time I use it!!  I really have gotten my money's worth on this little die.  This one I made as a 2-carton treat in a little holder for valentines day.  I used Pretty in Pink cs, GOT TREATS stamp set, scrap of dsp of unknown origin, some super nova fine glitter on the heart, glimmer brads, and rich razzleberry cs and ribbon.  Here is another photo of them:

Filled it with sweathearts candy hearts for my workshop hostess.

TWO MASCULINE VALENTINES HSSCT53 CHALLENGE

With Valentine's usually being all fru-fru and lacey, etc, I thought it would be fun to do a masculine manly card.  I used the a-la-carte single stamp BE MY VALENTINE for this card.  I stamped it in black ink on whisper white card stock, layered it onto News Print DSP, then onto real red card stock.  I put all these layers on a black card stock base and added a sheet of whisper white inside for the sentiment and note.  I used the very thin 1/8" black ribbon with the white edging to tie a simple knot.  LOVE IT.  And for just a little bling, I used my versamark pen and dabbled a bit on the heart then added black sparkle embossing powder and heat embossed it.  What do you think?  All the ladies at my workshop yesterday loved it.

Another masculine card is this one I made this past week for HSSCT53 Challenge:

Sorry the photo is fuzzy.  I used my phone instead of my camera to shoot it.  This is the FILLED WITH LOVE stamp set using old olive and real red ink, layered on black card stock.  I put the LOVE all "kittywampus" on the layer of Newsprint DSP which is also layered on black then the base white card stock.  I made a very simple knot with the BLACK SATIN RIBBON. 

Hope these gave you some inspiration to make your own masculine valentine's cards.  Won't you share them with me?

Keep stamping and smiling!!
