Bee My Valentine featuring Heartfelt Hellos Sale-A-Bration stamp set

 

I hope you fall in love with this card as much as I have.  I cased this card from my upline, Brandy Cox.  I did change the colors a bit and the embellishments but I got this directly from my sweet girl Brandy.

This card was so much fun to make and showcases that cute little bee.  This is so much more than a Valentine card.  You could use it for a thinking of you, thank you, get well, happy birthday and the list goes on and on.

Bust those Christmas Scraps before you pack them away

 Let's face it...Christmas is over, all the hustle & bustle, the cooking, wrapping of presents, decorating, you know all that fun stuff that is work, work and more work but we love it anyway.  

Now is the time to pack up all your Christmas papers, red & green cardstocks and settle in to the winter months and look forward to spring.

But wait!!  Why not use those papers to make some gorgeous cards with this very simple layout that can be so gorgeous depending on your Designer Series Papers, aka pattern papers.

Here is a sampling of what I did with this gorgeous layout.  Keep in mind that it doesn't have to be just  Christmas papers but any that you have.  Everything is done with 1 1/4" x 2 1/2" strips.  How easy is that?

Bee My VALENTINE BUNDLE (includes stamp set & punch) along with Bee Mine Designer Series Paper

 Stampin' Up did it again!!  They gave us the cutest little bumblebee stamp and a builder punch that allows you to be so creative with your stampin' and cardmaking abilities.

I borrowed my color scheme from the DSP in designing this card and I love the way it turned out.  I did one in portrait and one in landscape.  This is a simple card with no frills but yet it is stinkin' cute and I believe anyone would love to receive this one.

You're in a pickle, DSP is Retired, What to do to make it work

 

You don't have to stress about it, make your own DSP.  If you have stamps, ink & cardstock, you're in business.

The picture does not do these cards justice.  They are stunning in person.  The silver heat embossing along with the white embossing on the Night of Navy cardstock lends an air of elegance all the while delivering the true message of Christmas.

Off-Set Gatefold Card Featuring Magical Meadow Dies

 I just love a card that is a little different and this one fills the bill.  A gatefold that opens a little different.  I just love the way this card turned out.  

I love the difference in the colors, not the traditional reds & greens but Pretty Peacock pairs so well with Lost Lagoon and with the addition of Basic White it lends itself to a bit of elegance.

Inside sentiment makes this a Christmas Card but you could use these same colors for any occasion card you need.  Make up a few of these and set them aside so when you need a fast card, all you have to do is pull it, stamp the inside and off it goes to the recipient.

New Technique for me-How to use your stencils to emboss and then add color in a flawless manner

 I don't know about you but I absolutely love it when I discover/uncover/find a technique that I have never used on a card before.  I can only hope that you are as excited by this one as I am.

Who would ever think of using a stencil/mask to emboss with, but you can and it is easy with a couple simple tools.

What will need is an embossing machine, silicone caftsheet, a stencil, some tape to hold your stencil in place and of course some card stock.

You plates for your machine should sandwich like this

# 1 Base Plate

# 3 Cut Plate

 Silicone Craft Sheet

 Card Stock & Stencil (taped together)

# 4 Specialty Plate
