Valentine’s Day Card

by Tracy | Feb 12, 2013 | Uncategorized

It’s almost Valentine’s Day! Today I have a card for you that is similar to one I posted a few weeks ago and you can see it here.  My large heart is keeping the card closed and the two panels open up.  I used a 4 1/4 inch piece of paper that I scored at 3 inches and 8 inches.   My hearts on the left hand side were made using the Full Heart punch but the one on the right is from the Hearts a Flutter Framelits.  I love the scalloped edge.  I also used That’s the Ticket stamp set and punched it out with the Ticket Duo Builder punch.  My paper is More Amore from the Spring catalog.   Sweet Friend was punched out with the Petite Curly Label punch which can be yours FREE with a $50 order!  Did you know that the Ciao, Baby! stamp set in the Spring Catalog also has images that can be used with this punch?  for this card, I stamped Sweet Friend from the set Fabulous Phrases and then punched them out.  They fit inside perfectly!!

Thank you for stopping by!

A Spring Sampler

by Tracy | Feb 11, 2013 | Uncategorized

That being said, this card is so MUCH cuter in person.  We made it at my Stamp Club last week and they all seemed to really like it!!  I have to give credit to Mary Brown.  She had a cute a tutorial that I followed and it was very easy to make this card.  I am stuck on using the Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder combo.  It is such a soft combination.

I used two stamp sets for my flowers, flower pot and butterfly.  The butterfly came from A Fitting Occasion in the Annual catalog and the other cuties came from Spring Sampler in the Spring catalog.  The card dimensions are 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 which is a different size but will still fit in our envelopes!  The openings were made using my 1 1/4 inch Scallop punch. My sentiment is a stamp set that you can get FREE with a $50 order or you could get the cute punch (or both with a $100 order) !!  PLUS, for every   $50 you purchase  at my Online Store, your name will go on my 50/50 board and you will have a chance to win $50 in Stampin’ Up! products!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Pocket Card

by Tracy | Feb 9, 2013 | Uncategorized

Isn’t this just the cutest card???  I attended Creative Convention Online with Maggie Patterson and Ronda Wade last weekend and this was one of our make and takes.  My Whisper White piece slips into the pocket and peeks out at the top.  It is so quick and easy to put together but is so stinkin’ adorable!  Have you seen the Cute Clips in the Spring catalog?  There are two different  sets.  Hung Up (129389) includes a hanger, arrow and thought bubble.  The other set, Elements (129939) has a whale, heart and bird.  So cute!

My Happy Birthday stamp is one of the Best of 25 Stamps called Best of Birthdays (132929).  I stamped it twice, cut out the banner and applied it with dimensionals.  It is the 25th Anniversary of Stampin’ Up! this year and they will be releasing 12 different stamps set, one each month.  There will be a little sticker inside each one that you need to save and attach to the collectors card inside the stamps sets beginning with the February set.  For every 6 sets that you purchase, you can send in your collectors card for a FREE stamp set of your choice valued up to $14.95. I always like free stamps!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Another Swallowtail

by Tracy | Feb 8, 2013 | Uncategorized

I really LOVE this new stamp, Swallowtail,  in the Spring Catalog.  I made another card that you can see here.  This time I used glossy paper instead of Whisper White.  First, I applied Versamark and white embossing powder and used my heat tool.  My ink (Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and More Mustard) was applied all over it using sponge daubers.  It glides a bit easier on the glossy paper.   Using my two way glue pen, I applied thin lines of glue so I could add Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  So, so pretty!!  My inspiration came from a card I received from Debbie Buchanan in the mail.  I was so taken with her card that I had to try it myself!!  Love it!

Have a great day!

Gosh, time just got away from me today.  I meant to post this card this morning but I couldn’t find a moment to sit down.  My Hostess Club group will be making this card this month.  It is a very quick and simple card but very striking.  This is a stamp set that I put off buying but I really like it.  Tomorrow I will have another card using the same set but with different colors and a different layout.

Have a great day!!
