Birthday Valentine

Hey there, glad you stopped by and here is another card/box I did for my grand niece. I know that Valentine's day is already past but if you like this you can get a real early start on next year or use this style for another occasion. Anniversary maybe. This was made with the Love you bunch stamp set and retired dsp, but you may have some of that paper hanging around too just like I did. I used the heart to heart punch also. Very vanilla card stock. Let me know if you have any questions.

Oh, BTW, she loved the card and the box especially when she opened the box and there was a little monetary treat in there. Always appropriate

Valentine for Beth

I know, I know, it's been forever since I last posted. Well, I was on vacation for the month of January. I will share some pictures of where Bob and I went and what we did. But for today I want to share this cute card with you that I sent to my sister. She lives way out in the state of Oregon and I wish she was closer but I try to keep in touch with our wonderful handmade cards. I hope she liked it. 

What I did was use heart to heart punch to get all those cute little hearts and then I stamped the dotted heart from I Heart Hearts and cut it out with my trusty paper snips, it went really fast and they are very sharp. I used my new pinking hearts border punch to put a nice edge on the turquoise dsp and the real red piece and then with the fabulous phrases I thought heartfelt was the perfect sentiment. 

Let me know if you like it. 

I'll be sharing more Valentine's Day cards real soon. Thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place

Blown away hearts

I love this card and I made it, sometimes we surprise even ourselves. Last year I had the priveledge of attending a Michelle Zindorf brayer class and I learned her technique of brayering. I check her blog once in a while and cased this card from there. It's not hard you just have to know how to do it. It was a three hour class so for me to explain it to you would not be practical.

Here is the inside



I am giving this card to my grand niece this weekend. Her birthday is on Valentine's Day and this would make a great Valentine card also with just a change of sentiment.

Supplies I used:
Stamps: Curly Cute, Confetti

Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Melon Mambo and Always Artichoke


Ink: Stampin’ Up! Tempting Turquoise, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Not Quite Navy, Old Olive & Daffodil Delight

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Sponges, Ribbon, Always Artichoke and Rose Red Markers, Heart to heart & Bird Punches, Brayer, Mat pack & Piercing Tool, Button.

If you like this card leave me a comment here and let me know. If you have any questions let me know.

Luminaria

Hi everyone. This is the luminaria we made in our January class. This one is so easy that the hardest thing about it is to find the electric battery operated tea light that you'll want to put inside of it. I gave each of my attendees one just for coming to my class. Here is what we did.

1. Take a piece of real red card stock 3" x 10 1/4". Score at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 and 10". This will leave a 1/4" tab. Fold and crease all score lines.
2. Take the heart to heart punch and insert your card stock all the way into the punch and center it in each of the rectangles you created when you folded it. So you will punch four times.
3. Take 4 pieces of 2 3/4" x 2 1/2" vellum and adhere to the inside of each panel.
4. Glue the tab to the other end of the strip forming the four sides.

That's it. This can be done with any extra large punch that Stampin' Up has to offer. It works well with the snowflake punch, star punch, full heart punch.
