Here’s a 3 x 6 Valentine using Pretty Postage.  I love how these stamps work with the 1″ square punch and the postage stamp punch – it just makes things so much easier.  For this card I masked off the 24/7 with tape until the last heart – little tiny pieces of tape!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Pretty Postage, p.s. I Love You
card stock – Whisper White, Real Red, Basic Black
Ink – Real Red, Basic Black
Etc – Pinking Hearts border punch, 1/8 Real Red ribbon, 1″ and Postage Stamp punches

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

You’re a Hoot

I saw these owls on Creating the Hive attributed to Kerry’s Paper Crafts.  They are created using the Big Shot Pillow Box die.  Aren’t they cute?  I couldn’t resist having them hold a paper chain of hearts!

I tried two different ways to do the “feathers” on the owls.  The one of the left (Melon Mambo) uses the 3/4″ circle punch to make the feathers.  Each one is attached separately  The one on the right (Pumpkin Pie) uses the Big Shot Tasteful Trim die.  Can you see the difference?

So while I was playing around I decided to see if this little guy could be used as a party favor for my daughter’s graduation this spring –

I’m making clips again!  On this one I used the Beautiful Butterfly die and the Bordering on Romance set to top off a little gable box. 

I die cut 8 butterflies and embossed the top one.  I applied the glimmer brad by cutting off the legs and gluing it down.  The DSP on the clip in Attic Boutique.

I made the tag with p.s. I love you and tied it on the box with Poppy Parade ribbon.  The Poppy Parade trim around the box is made with the Tasteful Trim die. 

Now I can fill it and give it away!  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran

P.S. I Love You has some really nice sentiments in the set.  I particularly like “I love the u in us.”  Thinking of that sentiment took me to this card – which, by the way, got a very luke warm response from the peanut gallery around here! 


The Basic Black “U” is 6 die cuts glued in a stack to give it more dimension.

Can You Case Love?

This beautiful piece of framed art is from our demonstrator magazine – front cover – couldn’t even open the magazine without pulling out supplies to case this!  The frame is one I had sitting around here so I had to readjust the layout to fit. 

Here’s a tip for getting all the phrases fairly straight – use your grid paper and a very soft pencil to make small tick marks. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – p.s. I Love You, Sweet Cake, Candy Conversation
card stock – Very Vanilla smooth and textured, Cherry Cobbler
Ink – Blushing Bride, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Calypso Coral
Etc – Framelits Hearts die, Full Heart punch, Timeless Type alphabet, Dazzling Details, Vanilla 1/8″ ribbon, Vintage Trinkets, Heart Trio punch

The Dazzling Details is on the little row of hearts below the Cherry Cobbler “Love.”  I should put this out in my classroom – but I kind of like having it in my office.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Take it to the Heart has a very sweet Valentine-ish image with children playing.  I did the card in Real Red and Whisper White using the Finial Press embossing folder – I think it has an old fashioned look to it and goes very well with this set.

Nothing complicated – just a Valentine!
