A Very Merry Everything

As a Premium Member of Angie Juda's Chic n Clique I also have access to her Stamp Club Online creations.  She is so awesome!  This is the box she posted, her's was in different colors and DSP but the directions are all the same!  So fun....thanks Angie!

I used Marina Mist CS and Ink Pad.  The stamp and punch to cut it out are from the Merry Everything Bundle.  I used Santa & Co. DSP, Whisper White Organza Ribbon tied with a piece of Silver Bakers Twine.  Some Rhinestones for "bling" on the tag~

Happy Stamping!

I CASE'd the Heart Frame

Brian King has a video on how to create this darling heart frame.  Go here and see it!  Thanks to Patty Bennett for sharing with our Luv2Stamp Group. 

Here's the card I created using Brian's idea. 

I used Black CS for the base and Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler & Strawberry Slush for the accents.  The DSP is Back to Black.  Born to be loved is from Groovy Love Stamp Set and Congratulations is Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and cut using the Bitty Banners Framelits.  The wide ribbon on the bottom is Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen.  I used Rhinestones colored with Blendabilities for the accents.  Oh, and of course, the hearts are punched using the Heart Border Punch and the cente5 cut out with the Bracket Punch!

Thanks again for the idea Brian and for posting it to the Luv2Stamp FaceBook page Patty.

Bob's Valentine Card 2014

Thanks to Angie Kennedy Juda for sending me this "free" tutorial for updating my request for her e-mails!  She just started selling Chic-Stands again too, I ordered one for myself and one for my Twin today.  Thanks Angie!  Here's my version of Angie's card (I didn't have the same heart stamp as she used so mine is the single stamp Flowerful Heart and punched with the Heart Punch).

The 'Thanks for being mine' is from Love You to the Moon Stamp Set.  I used Strawberry Slush Ink and the CS from DSP Stack (In Color).  I added some little Rhinestnes to the heart and also punch out a heart for the front of the envelope.  You can't see it, but I also cut an envelope liner for the inside of the envelope.  The ribbon is Strawberry Slush Ruffle Trim. I know hubby will love it!  Thanks for your "free" tutorial Angie.

Valentine CASE 2014

Here's my first CASE for 2014!  I belong to Linda Heller's StampingSchool.com, here is the card she demonstrated for us this week, don't you just love it?  You can find her site here. Thanks for all the great ideas Linda and for sharing...

This card has some of the new products Stampin' UP! will have available January 3rd in the Celebrate the everyday Catalog and Sale-A-Bration starting on January 26th!  2014 is going to be an awesome year!

The envelope was made using the Envelope Punch Board and Modern Medley DSP.  The hearts were punched with Small Heart Punch, Full Heart Punch and Owl Builder Punch (for the small hearts).  The Basic Rhinestones give it the extra "sparkle".  The little hello stamp is from a new one available 1/3 called Perfect Pennants, has Framelits to match and will be available in a "bundle"!  The Basic Black on the front of the card was ran through the Big Shot with a new Embossing Folder called Decorative Dots that you can get for "free" during Sale-A-Bration starting 1/26/2014 with a $50. order.  Wow....so much fun!

Happy New Year to all my followers, thanks for your comments and thanks for checking out my blog.  Love and hugs to all ~

Happy Valentine's Day 2013

Here are some of the creations I have made up for Valentine's Day this year.

Sorry the picture isn't that great. I did Hershey Candy Bars wrapped in More Amore Specialty DSP and added ribbon and hearts.  The Love in the top one is the single stamp Love Heart.  I added some Ribbon with 3 Rhinestones on one side and layered onto Black CS cut with the Embosslits Scalloped Heart of Hearts.  The middle one I used the Embosslit and Silver Glimmer Paper, then a Red Heart punched with the Framelit Hearts and the little love is from the Ciao, Baby! Stamp Set and punched with the little punch that matches.  I used Cherry Cobbler Polka Dot Ribbon on each end.  The one on the left I used the new Pink Pirouette Two-Tone Ribbon and the Happy Valentine Stamp from Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set.  I colored Rhinestones with a Red Sharpie and added to each end (Punched out with Word Window Punch) that was mounted on Bashful Blue CS with the Modern Label Punch.  The M&M's were put into one of the 1"x8" Celephone Tubes and I added a heart to the top with That's The Ticket Valentine Stamp mounted on top with one of the new Large Rhinestones up in the left-hand corner.  The Red Heart was mounted on Silver Glimmer Paper punched with the Embosslit Scalloped Heart of Hearts.  I added some Pink Pirouette Ribbon and some had Riding Hood Red (not pictured) Taffeta Ribbon.

Christmas Square Swap

This was my swap for our Luv2Stamp Group Christmas Square Swap.  I should get my package from Patty today with squares from everyone who participated  ~ I'm so excited!

These were so much fun to make and so quick once I got the design down.  I used Brushed Silver CS for the Scallop Square (punched with the Scallop Square Punch).  Then a layer of Red Glimmer Paper punched with the 1-1/4" Square Punch.  I stamped the little reindeer head from the Jolly Bingo Bits Stamp Set in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla CS.  I punched that out with the 3/4" x 15/16" Punch and sponged the edges with Early Espresso Ink.  I added some Googlie Eyes and colored a Rhinestone with a Red Sharpie for Rudolph's nose.  Hope everyone liked the one I sent in to swap.
