I have been sick for over a week. And so it has been even longer than that since I have stamped!!! Yikes!!! When I take stamping breaks, I have a hard time getting back in the swing of things. This time was no different. And so I started with a very simple card.

Isn’t that butterfly yummy??? I made it with my Big Shot Die Cut Machine!!! It is a die that just came out in this new catalog and when I saw it- I knew I needed it. But this is the first time I used it! But be prepared, you are going to see a lot of butterflies this spring on my blog! He is a close up….

I am off to try my hand at a few more cards while my creative juices are still flowing!

Recipe:

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly

Paper: Tea Party DSP, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White

Ink: Pretty in Pink

Other: Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Beautiful Butterflies Die, Pretty in Pink Taffeta, Pretty in Pink button, Eyelet punch

I am not feeling well, STILL, and decided to use this down time to try my hand at some digi scrapping. I am learning….

I used a kit called Heartstrings for both of these layouts.

I like how they turned out! But I have so many questions!!! Someday I will figure this out!!! Hope that you had a happy Valentine’s Day!

I only have a minute (maybe less!) but I wanted to post the Valentine that I made for my sweet hubby. Then I have to go give it to him!!!

The stamp set is by Papertrey Ink and I colored it with my Copic markers. I also popped up the mailboxes and that looks really cool IRL.

I will update this post tomorrow with the recipe!!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Do you guys remember this card…

I made this and posted it back in January.

I needed a Valentine to send to a friend and this card came to mind. But I decided to add some extras to make it even more special. So what do you think of my card makeover?

Isn’t that heart paper clip fun??? I made it with a standard paper clip and it was super easy. Click here for instructions from Kristina Werner.

I hope you all have your Valentine’s Day cards ready for those special people!

Recipe:

Stamps: Love You Much, Holidays & Wishes

Paper: Candy Lane DSP, Very Vanilla, Kraft, Ridinghood Red, Pink Pirouette

Ink: Basic Black, Going Grey

Other: Button Bouquet, Twine, Ridinghood Red Taffeta, paper clip, blender pen, heart to heart punch

I LOVE free stamps! And the hostess sets in this catalog- are so awesome that I didn’t even know where to start!!! I recently got the set Echoes of Kindness. It’s such a pretty set! Here is the first card that I made…

Aren’t those corduroy buttons yummy?! I think I am going to have to get hem in every color! The flower image was stamped on watercolor paper and I colored it with an aquapainter and ink pads.

I am still battling a cold right now so don’t get too close to your computer screen right now as you may catch some of my germs!

Recipe:

Paper: Candy Lane DSP, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, Watercolor

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, Ridinghood Red, Going Gray

I have a confession. I have not stamped since last Thursday! Yikes!!!! I have been having terrible troubles with migraines. And now, on top of the migraine, I have come down with a cold.

Today I have a simple Valentine’s Day treat to show you. I made a bunch of these to give to the gals at my MOPS table last week.

I just cut 2 top notes with my Big Shot Die Cut Machine and then attached them to a small treat bag. I had to cut the bag down. I think I got them at Target next to all the gift bags. Here is a side view…

The bags were filled with yummy candies. I ate all the left overs!!! I thought it might help the headache!

I am off to rest some more and hope to stamp again very soon!

Recipe:

Stamps: Hugs & Wishes

Paper: Candy Lane DSP, Kraft

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Other: small treat bag, Heart to Heart Punch, Word Window Punch, Pink Pirouette Striped Ribbon, Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Top Note Die

The card I have to show you today would not be a good card to put in the mail! It’s very heavy!!! I used last weeks SFYTT from Jenn.

That patterned paper is soooo very yummy! It is thick and textured like cardstock. And the colors and patterns are so pretty!

I am sorry to make this so short, but I have a migraine and really want to go lie down for a while before the kids come home from school. Have a happy stamping day!

Recipe:

Stamps: NONE!

Paper: Parisan Breeze Specialty DSP, Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze

Other: Circle Punches, Button Bouquet, Chocolate Chip Corduroy button, Flower FusionToo, silver brads, rub ons

I don’t usually post on the weekends, but I thought I would show you this simple Valentine’s Day card…

The stamp is actually a Papertrey stamp. In fact it is the bottom of the strawberry on the card I showed you a couple of days ago!

Recipe:

Stamps: My Puny Valentine

Paper: Sweet Always DSP, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip

Ink: Regal Rose

Other: Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon

I did get more than just the Petal Pizzazz set from the new catalog! Today I have 2 cards to show you using some more of my new stuff…

I am not real crazy about this card just because it doesn’t have any "stuff" on it. But I do love this 5th Avenue Floral set and can see using it on a scrapbook page in the very near future!!!

When I saw this set, Cheep Talk, in the catty- it went on my "Must Have" list!

Recipe:

The Little Things:

Stamps: 5th Avenue Floral, Full of Life

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss

Ink: Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze

 

Note of Thanks:

Stamps: Cheep Talk

Paper: Rasberry Tart DSP, Rose Red, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip

Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red

Other: Chocolate Chip, Rose Red, and Summer Sun Markers, Rose Red brads

 

I have some more cards that I wanted to show you- but forgot to photograph so I will be back tomorrow with those. But now, I need to go lay down as I have a killer migrain!!!!

Happy Stamping!
