Love You Valentine

Working on some Valentines; it's just around the corner! 

This is a quick and easy valentine, with minimal stamping. It features a Stamp Simply's Farmhouse Pierced Nested Heart die, Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die, and Elizabeth Craft Postage die set. 

The layers are cut from Carta Bella My Valentine decorator paper, then layered over a background of white cardstock that has been embossed with a Darice Chevron embossing folder.

The sweet sentiment is from Stamp Simply's Typewritten Year Round Sentiments, stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. Easy!

Thinking of You--Thinking of Spring!

 

Hello! Yes, now that Christmas and New Years has passed, my mind turns to Spring. I know...so unrealistic! We will have winter here for at least two+ months...our Spring does not arrive until mid April to May. I can always dream! 

My card today features Stamp Simply's Pretty Poppies stamp and die sets. It layers so beautifully over Craft Consortium's Bloom and Wild decorator paper. I love the muted watercolors in this designer paper pad...perfect for a garden backdrop.

I stamped the Pretty Poppies with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (best for Copic coloring) onto white cardstock, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. The poppies were then cut with the die from Stamp Simply's Pretty Poppies die set.  The simple sentiment from the Pretty Poppies stamp set was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, then die cut with Spellbinder Circle dies.

Card of Sympathy

My card for today can be used for many situations or events; today the sentiment is appropriate to send to a friend who has sadly lost her sister. 

It features Stamp Simply's Eucalyptus Silhouettes stamp and die sets, along with Craft Consortium Baroque decorator paper.

 

The eucalyptus image is stamped with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Victorian Velvet ink, then die cut with the Stamp Simply Eucalyptus die. It is layered over the white cardstock tag, die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Framed Tags die (similar tag dies HERE), stamped with a sentiment from the Eucalyptus stamp set, and tied with a bit of tulle ribbon. 

Simple, but delicate and pretty.

Pink Poinsettia Ice Skates

 

Hello! Here with one of the last Christmas cards of 2024! I love this ice skate image from Stamp Simply's Vintage Christmas Images stamp and die sets.  The sets can be purchased as a bundle or individually.

This is also a very quick card to make; the coloring is minimal and the die cuts and embossing folder make for a quick background.

The base is white cardstock; the embossed panel is achieved with a Tim Holtz Sizzix Snowfall Speckles embossing folder. The stamped shaped diecut is from the Elizabeth Craft Postage die set. 

The Vintage Christmas Images skates are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copic Sketch markers. They are then die cut with a Vintage Christmas Images die. 

The Christmas sentiment is also from the Vintage Christmas Images stamp set and cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Sentiment Banner die.

Bring on the Snow!

 

We've had very snowy weather thus far and will definitely have a "white Christmas!" We typically get a lot of lake effect snow living close to Lake Superior and it has been especially abundant this year. 

I have a mitten card and quick gift bag for today using Stamp Simply's Christmas Stockings and Mittens stamp and die sets...so fun to play with!

I've pulled some retired plaid designer paper for my card and bag, but you can find a similar pad HERE. The mitts with snowflakes are die cut using the Stamp Simply Christmas Stockings and Mittens die set; the frame is a Elizabeth Craft Metal Die Postage Stamp die. 

The "bring on the snow" sentiment comes from the Christmas Stockings and Mittens stamp set. The Spellbinders die cut tag is retired. 

The kraft bag is simply covered with a mix of the plaid designer paper prints. A great presentation for a smaller sized gift!
