Hi Everyone . . . Hope you had a grand week end.  I'm feeling a little stressed here.  I made dinner for the family today and didn't get to stamp anything.  So I guess I'll show you a project that I have been working on for Valentine's Day.  I'm thinking about having a class for this special Valentine Gift Holder and matching card.  I used both stamp sets, Valentine Defined WM #121941 CM #123057 and the Filled With Love stamp set WM #120839 CM #121154.  Designer Paper is from the Love Impressions Series Paper #121780.  You can find that in the Occasions Mini.  There's still time if you think you might want the Filled With Love Stamp Set and Designer Papers.  You can click here to find out more of the deets.  This promotion ends on Jan 24th, so don't delay.  Click here to place your order. 

This is a cute little gift idea, I made my gift holder out of Real Red cardstock, Basic Grey cardstock and the Love Impressions Designer Paper from the Occasions Mini.  I wrapped my Hershey's Bar with a 4" paper doily, added my sentiment, wrapped some Real Red Ribbon around it and stamped the heart image in the center of the doily. My card is a Z fold card also using the Love Impressions Paper, but this time I used the Heart Tree image from the set.  My sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  On the inside I used our Scallope Heart Embossiits Die #117332.  I also embossed on Whisper White with our Polka Dot Embossing Folder #117335 and punch it out with our Heart Punch #119883.  The I love you is from a retired stamp set.  I know I have probably left something out so if you have any questions please let me know and I will sure try and help.

Thanks for stopping by today, over the next few days I will be getting ready for my monthly stamp club.  Have a great day.  Toodles

Hello My Crafty Friends. . . Hope you are doing well this monring.  I will have a short post for you today.  We have Dr's appts. over the next few days and I'm in the middle of my painting.  I really need to stamp, I'm running out of things to show you.  I have another Valentine Tin to share.  It's just like the last one but it has a different belly band.  I'snt the flower oh so cute.  It is made with tissue paper. 

Here's how I did it.

• Fold up your tissue paper (I used plain white tissue paper) eight times and punch with your Scallop Circle Punch
• Stamp your image on each piece, I stamped in Real Red with the Flourish Stamp
• Scrunch up each piece into a small ball and then unscrunch them.
• Punch a circle with your 1" Circle Punch. I folded it in half and then half again to get my center and then punched in the center with a 1/8" handheld punch.
• Stack all eight layers on top of your circle and insert a small brad
• Scrunch up each layer again, the fluff until you think it look good
• Easy Peasy!!!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. . .  We had a low keyed New Year's Eve, hope you had a safe and happy one as well.  Today I have a Valentine's Day Card to share with you from a set called Valentine Defined and you can find it in the new Occasions Mini that will go live on Jan 4th.  My card is called a Z Fold Card.  I used a piece of Whisper White cut at 4 1/4 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.  I cut a piece of dp 4 x 4 and adhered it to the inside front of my card and then I scored it at 2 1/8 and folded it.  I used a strong adhesive like Red Sticky Tape to hold the top down securely.  The inside is another piece of dp 4 x 4.  The dp is called Love Impressions from the Occasion Mini.  I think you are really gonna like it.  For the outside I used a Lacey Circle Nestie and a 2 inch circle punch.  You can make this as large or a small as you like.  On the inside I used SU's Scallop Hearts of Hearts Embosslits Die #117332 along with the Big Shot#113439 in Real Red.  Next layer is a piece of Whisper White which I embossed with our Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder #117335 and punched out with our Ex-Large Heart Punch #119883.  They nest beautifully.  Oh before you emboss with polka dots I stamped an image from the retired set A Happy Heart and them embossed it.  I makes it look embedded in the heart. A really neat look.  My sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes #115370 punched with the large oval punch #119855 and the Scallop Oval Punch 119856.  Before you adhere this down be sure and line it up with your scallop circle.  The sentiment piece is the one that keeps your card closed.  I think this turned out to be very striking.  It is a little challenging becasue of all the pieces but really not difficult.  Easy Peasy!!!!   I hope you get some spare time to play with your stamps today, a great way to start off the new year.  If you have any questions please contact me, I'm here to help.

Get your wish lists out, there are only 3 days left before the launch of the new Occasion Mini.  Take it from me you are gonn love it.  WooHoo!!!  If you didn't receive your Mini please contact me with your name and address and I'll send one out to you.  If you have a releationship with another Demonstrator please contact her.
