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.

Butterfly Thank You Card

I made this Thank You card for one of the Supervisors (from another Department) because she surprised me with flowers yesterday for helping out her Department ~ how sweet was that?

I used Midnight Muse CS for the base of the card.  the front layer is Bashful Blue CS.  I stamped the butterflies from Papillon Potpourri on Whisper White CS and added 3 little Pearls to the center of each after punching them out with the awesome new Elegant Butterfly Punch.  The Thank You is from the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelit.  I used the new Delicate Designs Embossing Folder along the bottom and the scallop was cut (matches the Embossing Folder perfectly) with Edgelits Large Scallop.  I added a strip of Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon.  On the inside I printed a message from my computer onto Whisper White CS, cut out with a Labels Collection Framelit and sponged the edge with Daffodil Delight Ink and added a couple more of the butterflies.

She wasn't in today so I'm hoping she will be tomorrow so she can open her card.  I left it on her desk in a Whisper White Envelope that has her name on the front along with another butterfly~  So nice to work with such thoughtful people.

New Stuff!

I spent most of my day ordering from the new 2012-2013 Stampin' UP! Catalog.  Then I decided I needed to make a card and post using some of the pre-order product I was able to get ahead of time for being a Demonstrator...yeah!!!

I used the new "in-colors" for 2012 Primrose Petals and  Summer Starfruit, combined with Basic Gray CS and Patio Party DSP.  I used Basic Gray for the second layer and ran it the the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  the happy birthday banner is from the new Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and I used the Bitty Banners Framelits to cut it out.  I used the medium Oval Punch for the For You and Summer Starfruit Ink Pad and the rest of the label was stamped with Primrose Petals using the Layered Labels Stamp Set.  The ribbon is White Stitched 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon.  The card base is Primrose Petals CS and the little scallop piece through the center is Summer Starfruit CS.

Hope you all had a great week-end!
