I have one last Valentine card to share with you. I’m using Bugaboo Stamps newest Friday Freebie, Heart Monster – you can get it here. If you’d like more inspiration, check out the rest of the team and their wonderful creations at the Catch the Bug Blog.
Thanks so much for the visit – Happy Valentine’s Day! Dee
If you haven’t gotten all of your Valentine cards made, here is a new image that is being released today at Bugaboo Stamps. Isn’t he adorable???
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day – have a piece of chocolate for me 🙂 Dee
appy Sunday to you…and you know what that means?! It’s time for a new Stella Says Sketch at Catch the Bug. Since Valentine’s Day is just a few days, I used the sketch as the inspiration for today’s card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Dee
This little birdbrain could have just as easily been me; let’s just say – I LOVE chocolate!
If you look closely you’ll notice the words for my sentiment are the same as the sentiment that comes in the stamp set but the arrangement is a bit different. Why? I wanted the sentiment to fit with the Labels Eighteen die and it left way too much white space. So what I did was copy and pasted the sentiment a few times and then cropped out the words and reassembled them to fit the die – Just another wonderful thing about digi stamps! By the way…don’t those chocolates look almost good enough to eat???

Thanks for hopping with us today! Dee
Are you ready for another sketch challenge from I {heart} Sketches at From the Heart Stamps? Well, here you go – another fun one! I was a bit heavy-handed with the air-brushing but I’m still learning how to use my copics and air-brushing – but overall it’s okay, I think!

It seems so often I go for the red and black combination for Valentine cards but I wanted to do something a bit different so I grabbed some pink cardstock and die cut the heart pattern – so surprise, no patterned paper used on this card (so out of the norm for me)!

My daughter loves owls so when I saw this stamp set from PaperTrey Ink, I knew I had to get it! Today I’m using the stamps to make a Valentine card – I have a feeling I know who the recipient will be 🙂 Capture the Moment is having a Blog Hop today and the theme is Pink in Pink – doesn’t matter what theme you decide to use, it just needs to be Pink. One of the things I appreciate about cling stamp sentiment is they are flexible as you can see I curved the sentiment to better fit the doily.

Since I was so far behind at Christmas time this year, I decided it’s time for me get a few Valentine cards made. I just love this color palette with the pinks and burgundies accented with gray and black!
The Charm Barn offers a great selection of charms and scrapbook embellishments for any craft project. You will find themed charm sets that include Animals, Western, Fashion, Sports, Awareness Ribbons, and Holiday Themed Charms. The charms can be used for crafting projects including wine glass charms, wedding favors, greeting cards, bead projects, scrapbooking, hair bows, and jewelry creations.
If you prefer rubber stamps over digi stamps, Di has just released some gorgous new stamps. CANDIBEAN release 2 now is available, take a peek at these awesome rubber stamps and please go and check out some of the fabulous creations on the LittleDarlingsblog. they are GORGEOUS!!! They have also added them to Di’s Digistore, Candibean tab!!!
I keep trying to figure out what my style of card is. I love looking at other designers card with all of the flowers and die cuts but I struggle to get the balance just right, I appreciate those that can do one-layer cards and very minimal embellishments – they are stunning but for whatever reason, I keep trying to add things to them (I admit, I have trouble with a lot of white space). So I think my style is somewhere in-between. I LOVE my digi papers and use them whenever I can. I LOVE lots of layers of papers but not necessarily layers of embellishments. I’d love to hear what type of cards you prefer – there is so much talent out there and I think we each bring our own creativity when making our projects and then we share them with everyone to see. I think one of things I appreciate the most in this industry is the positive feedback we all get and give to each other – I truly appreciate each and every comment I receive 🙂
Thanks so much for the visit! I hope you’ll join us for our Spots and Dots challenge as I’d love to see your creations! Dee
