Please Be Mine

Had some time tonight while the hubby took the kids with him and stamped a Valentine's Day Card.
I love the chocolate, pink, red & white color combo.

stamps: Love Always (retired set), Holiday Best (current Level 1 hostess)

ink: Real Red

paper: Chocolate Chip, Pretty In Pink, Whisper White, Cherise (retired pattern paper)

other: red brads (not SU), Whisper White grosgrain ribbon, punches

Thursday Sweets

Cupcake takes the cake!  I'm ready for spring/summer so I made a couple of really cute bright cards.  I used my Big Shot to emboss the white cardstock and then punches to get the edges.  These were really fun to make. 

Blue & Brown Razzleberry

These are a few cards I made with the Stampin Up set Razzleberry.  It's a very cute and versatile set.  I decided to do a blue and brown combo since it's a pretty hot combination right now.  I really like how they turned out.

I love this set!  It's called The More the Merrier.  I fell in love with it when I 1st saw it in the catalog.  The problem was that it was a Level 3 hostess set and there was no way I was going to buy enough Stampin Up to earn it.  So I did the next best thing and scoured E*bay for it.  It took awhile as this set goes in upwards of $60.  I was not going to spend that much either.  One day I was looking and saw someone had it as a buy it now for $30.  I couldn't click that button fast enough.  But I got it!  I've just started playing with it and this is the 1st card I made.  I'll be making more soon and posting them. 

Prehistoric Birthday Card

My son had a birthday party to attend this afternoon so I made this really cute card.  The stamp set is an SU set that is retired.  I love this set so I don't know why they retired it!  It's called Prehistoric Pals.  This is a great set for boys birthday cards.

Stamp Club Show & Tell

For several months now, I have been wanting to show off what my SU demo has been teaching me at Stamp Club every month.  It's been a lot!!!  I really picked a great demo.  I am learning techniques and projects I myself would've never thought of.  It's really opened up the possibilities of what I can do not only stamping but with any other craft projects I decide to do.  So here's what I've done since I joined in October.  The scalloped pencil holder and the white "With all my heart" card were this months projects. 

Been Awhile

I am hoping to have a few things to post tomorrow.  The holidays were crazy and then I had surgery a week ago.  I also started new classes this semester to finish my BA so I've been busy studying.
