Happy Valentine's Day

Hi everyone, this is the card we made to match the Valentine's box, which I showed you last time:



This again uses You are Loved and That's the Ticket stamp sets, with the Heart punch and the Ticket punch but this time I have used different designer papers. We used Pool Party from the Designer paper stack and First Edition DSP. I used marker pens to colour the heart stamp with Real Red and Pool Party before punching out the heart. The die-cut heart is from the More Amore DSP. Here are some close ups:

 

The lovely edge along the bottom of the card is one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits, which is quickly becoming a favourite. I hope you like these projects. Let me know if you want to join us for any future classes. x

Valentine gift box

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing the Valentine's gift box we made in class, last week. It's hard to show you all of it in one photo but here is one view: 



The box was made using Real Red cardstock and More Amore DSP. These designer papers come with 2 sheets of die cut hearts, so we cut some of them out and used them for the box and the matching card which I will show you in a few days. Here's a better view of the top:



We used 2 stamp sets on this project- You are loved was stamped in Real Red and then punched using the Heart Punch, and That's the Ticket was used, surprisingly enough, for the tickets. We used the Valentine's ticket and the Admit One ticket.This stamp set is new and can be found in the Spring/Summer catalogue with it's matching punch - so much easier than hand cutting.

 

 I will show you the matching card next time. I may have to make another set of these as my son has decided he should have these for his girlfriend.... x

An Envelope Full of Love

Morning everyone, I'm going to show you one of the Valentine projects today. This card uses the Scallop Envelope die and is pretty easy to make:




The base card is Pool Party cardstock and the DSP is More Amore, which is one of my favourites. You can find it in the new Spring/Summer catalogue (see link and picture at the side of my blog).

We used the triple heart punch (now retired) and the small heart punch to punch hearts out of Primrose Petals, Real Red and Pool Party cardstock. If you don't want to use hearts, you can use a flower punch such as the Boho Blossoms punch instead.

The sentiment is from the Sale-A-Bration set Vintage Verses, which can be yours free, with a £45 order (see below). I happened to have some pink heart crystals (not SU) which completed the look.


 



I will also share this small gift:which we made:



This is a small cellephone bag (available from Stampin Up, page 163), filled with pink smarties. I used the You are Loved stamp set and Decorative Label punch, to create the topper.

 

Don't forget to look at the new Spring/Summer catalogue, and I'll be back with more soon. x

February Calendar Page

Good morning. As we're heading towards the end of January, it's about time I showed you February's Calendar's page. I used the More Amore designer papers for the background and these gorgeous papers come with 2 sheets of die cut hearts.



We used one of the Primrose Petals hearts, and stamped another heart using the You Are Loved stampset and Real red ink. This heart was cut out, by hand, and all the elements were positioned on the page.

 

Simple but effective. I used the same papers for the Valentine's projects this year, so check back soon for details. If you want to join us for the Valentine's class on the 30th, please check out the classes tab (at the top of the blog) and let me know by 6pm on Tuesday. I'll be posting details of the projects soon. x
