Decorated Coasters

These are coasters that you are suppose to put pictures in.  I have had them for a couple of years and never put anything in them.  Have I told you how much I love the Sending Love Specialty DSP from the new mini?

Now they're all ready for Valentine's Day!

January Club Project Sneak Peak!

We have our monthly stamp club this week.  Here's a look at one of the projects will be making.  The instructions to make these can be found HERE.  Cindy Coutts wrote the tutorial.

Thank for stopping by!

Altered Body Butter

I found these little jars of body butter at an after Christmas clearance sale.  I altered this one with some Sending Love Designer DSP from the new mini.  This paper is so beautiful.  The picture in the catalog doesn't begin to show you how pretty it really is.  I got my inspiration for this from an altered candy tin at  Julie Davison's blog.  It could use a bit more dressing up, but I wanted the recipient to be able to open it and use it easily.  Hope you all have a good week!

 

Stampin 411 Challenge

So I just recently found out about the Late Night Stampers group.  Someone commented on one of my posts recently and asked if I was a member.  And then you know about my card that was featured on Blog Finds of the Day, which is a part of Late Night Stampers.  From these I investigated a little and learned about this group.  They do a lot of cool stuff, so I joined today!  I don't stay up very late, so I hope they'll keep me around!  Haven't gotten started yet really, but I did see the Stamping 411 sketch challenge posted today.  Here's my card for the challenge:

Supplies for this card:

Stamp Set: Love you Much

Cardstock: Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Sending Love Specialty DSP

Ink: Real Red Classic Ink and Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink Markers

Other: Dazzling Diamonds, Two-way glue pen, Heart to Heart punch (to make the flower), Build-a-Brad

Thanks for looking!

Love You Much Card

I'm totally into Valentine's Day mode now!  I love Christmas, it's definitely my favorite holiday.  But, I have to say I'm kinda glad to move on to making other projects.  I think I started Christmas in early October, so it's a nice change to work on something else.

I saw this card/envelope combo on someone's blog month's ago, but cannot remember who.  It's probably been around a lot.  But, it's definitely not my original idea.  This is a 4 X 4 1/4" card with an envelope and topper.  I used some non-traditional Valentine's colors - Bordering Blue and Pale Plum and added a little bling with Dazzling Diamonds.  I didn't have any matching ribbon (gasp!) for the envelope, so I dyed some Whisper White Taffeta using an ink refill and a little water.

Supplies:

Cardstock:  Bordering Blue, Pale Plum, Whisper White

Stamp Set:  Love You Much

Ink:  Bordering Blue, Pale Plum

Other:  Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon (dyed Pale Plum), Paper Crimper, Dazzling Diamonds, two-way glue pen, mini glue dots.

Sending Sweet Thoughts

Here's a quick Valentine's card I made using the Wandering Words stamp set (which I won at regionals last fall!) from the Holiday Mini.  I also used the 5/8" Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon from the new Occasions Mini.  This ribbon is the best!  It ties beautifully.  Next week I will be hosting a ribbon share so that you can get a sample of all the colors without purchasing 9 full spools of ribbon.  Leave me a comment if you are interested.  Each person will receive 3 yds of each color.

I never make 3X6 cards, ever.  So I am challenging myself to use a little more variety in my cards.  Thanks for stopping by!!

Supplies:

Stamp Set:  Wandering Words
