Valentine's Day is just around the corner!

I created a Valentine's Day Box using the instructions from Tami White's site for the box here. She did a Christmas Box and I re-designed and made a Valentine Box!  Hope you like it?  (Thanks Tami for the great instructions.)

I added a little stuffie, you can't see it in the pictures but he has a cute little  ♥ on his chest!  I used Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations CS for the box.  Cherry Cobbler polka dot paper from the Regals Designer Series Package of CS to create the lolly and Silver Glimmer Paper for the bow cut with the Sizzix Gift Bow Bigz™ L Die.  The happy Heart day is from the Tags 4 You Stamp Set and I stamped with Cherry Cobbler Ink and fussy cut and then adhered to Silver Glimmer Paper punched with the matching Label Bracket Punch. I punched some little hearts in the Silver Glimmer Paper for accent.  The ribbon is Raspberry Ripple Satin Stitched.  I love Valentine's Day, trying to get an "early start" for 2014!

Chris' Birthday Card

Friday, 9/28 was my sister's 70th Birthday!  Woo hoo....happy birthday sis'!  Here's the card I created for her special day~

I re-created a card we did at our Luv2Stamp Group's last meeting.  That one was 4x4, this one is regular card size 4-1/4 x 5-1/2.  I used Melon Mambo CS for the base, First Edition Special DSP for the first layer, the banner is cut from Early Espresso Core'dinations CS run through the Woodgrain Embossing Folder and sanded.  The ribbon is Raspberry Ripple Satin Stitched.  The Happy Birthday is from the You're Amazing Stamp Set cut with Apothecary Accents Framelits.  The little tickets are in the You're Amazing Stamp Set also and cut out using the Ticket Duo Builder Punch.  The little safety pin is part of the Vintage Trinkets pack.   I colored Rhinestones with a Sharpie.  The inside "happy 70th is from the Bring on The Cake Stamp set and run through the Big Shot with one of the Window Frame Collection Framelits.
