You Warm My Heart narrow note card box

My project today is a box created with the Lots to Love Box framelits (145653) and the Sure Do Love You stamp set (145763) which can also be purchased as a bundle (145966) to save 10%.  The box is made from Powder Pink cardstock.  My next step was to stamp my heart as it needs time to dry.  I started with the heart image from Sure Do Love You.  I inked it up with Stampin’ Write markers in Sweet Sugarplum, Berry Burst and Rich Razzleberry working from lightest to darkest.  I then gently spritzed the stamp with water and quickly stamped it on a piece of watercolor paper.  After it dried, I die cut it with the coordinating framelits Lots to Love Box.  I then added a layer of the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (145589) to the box top.  The sentiment is stamped on Powder Pink cardstock in Rich Razzleberry with a stamp from Lovely Wishes (145924).  The shape was stamped using Labels to Love (144967) and the Everyday Label Punch (144668).  The gold strip behind is actually a sticker from Painted Love Gold vinyl stickers (145586).  You get four sheets of stickers (2 each of 2 designs.). They are gorgeous and add elegance to any project.

This box was designed to hold the new Whisper White narrow note cards and Envelopes which are part of the Painted with Love suite.  The finished size of the box is 4 7/8" x 3 5/8" and will hold four note cards and envelopes (145583).  It can also be used to hold treats or small gifts.

Let’s Celebrate Amazing You

My project today features my favorite stamp set from Sale-a-Bration (SAB) thus far.  It’s called Party Pandas (147221 clear mount) and can only be earned as a free item through March 31, 2018.  I started with a Berry Burst card base and stamped the confetti image from the stamp set in the matching ink around the edges.  No need to stamp the center as it's going to be covered.  My focal layer was sponged using a sponge dauber with Soft Sky for the sky area.  I used a blender pen with Lemon Lime Twist for the grass.  I stamped the Pandas directly on the Whisper White cardstock with Momento Tuxedo black ink.  That way I could use my Stampin' Blends to color in the hat and balloon.  The sentiment uses the Amazing You stamp set (147212) also from SAB and the coordinating framelits called Celebrate You thinlets (146840).  I die cut the word amazing from retired Blushing Bride glimmer paper, but you could use any of our glimmer papers or even foil papers with equally great results.

This card is for my amazing friend who has a birthday on the 22nd of this month.  I know she will love it.  Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to stop by my blog.  Please leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you.  If you wish to order any of these products, click on the shopping cart and it will take you to my online line where you can place your order.  I'd love to earn your business.  I hope you have a creative day.

You’re Inspiring Labels to Love

My card for this week features a holiday favorite which has been carried over. It’s called Labels to Love (144967 clear mount) and has a coordinating Everyday Label Punch (144668).  The sentiment comes from a new stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog called You’re Inspiring (145808).  It can be found on page 31 and is very versatile with uses for Mother’s Day, Easter, birthdays and thinking of you cards.  Be sure to check it out.  My card base is Powder Pink with a layer of Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (DSP) (145589).  The flower images are from a free Sale-a-Bration stamp set called Amazing You (147215) only available with a $50 purchase through March 31, 2018.  I used my Stampin' Blends to color the flowers, then fussy cut them out.  If you haven't tried the Stampin' Blends markers, they are fantastic.  They are Stampin' Up!'s new alcohol markers released in November 2017.  They are so easy to color with and blend beautifully.  Even a novice like me, can color beautifully with them.
