SC261 - I {Heart} Hearts

Today I have another Stampin' Up Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalog sneak peek using the stamp set I {Heart} Hearts.  The first card is for this weeks sketch challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers, it's difficult to see from the photo but one of the Real Red back ground panels was embossed and one was stamped with hearts.  The center heart on the main image was stamped, cut out and pop dotted and I punched a circle next to the heart image so I could feed my ribbon through and tie a knot.

Supplies: I{Heart}Hearts, Whimsical Words, Ribbon, Circle punch, Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder, Brads, Pop dots. 

Colors: Basic Black, Real Red.

This next card was created using last weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. 

Supplies: I{Heart}Hearts, Grateful Greetings, Pinking Hearts Border punch, Scallop circle punch, Circle punch, Ribbon, Piercer, Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder, Pop Dots.  Colors: Chocolate Chip, Real Red.

I'd like to wish all of you a Happy New Year and to thank you for your visits, compliments and kind words on my cards and projects it mean more than you know.

Tote-ally Tess Card and Pillow Box

Happy Wednesday!  I hope all of you had a great Christmas spending time with your loved ones and making good memories.  Our Christmas was spent with my side of the family for Christmas Eve then my husbands for Christmas Day. On Saturday we had a mini high school reunion for my husband and another family get together at our house on Sunday.  We were busy from last Thursday to Sunday and had a great holiday.

Today I have a matching card and Pillow Box to share, I used the new stamp set Tote-ally Tess that will be in the Occasions Mini Catalog coming out on January 5th.  This stamp set is so fun to work with and my inspiration was the little flower I stamped inside the card Tess is holding.  The Pumpkin Pie flower is repeated in both the card, the box and designer paper.  I paper pieced her shirt and colored the rest of her using an aqua brush and ink.  I had started out creating a card for the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge but I thought the flower looked best in the lower right corner instead of upper right so I'm not sure if my card still qualifies.

Supplies: Tote-ally Tess, Tiny Tags, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP, Sizzix Pillow Box die, Sizzix Baskets & Blooms die (for the flowers), Sizzix Matchbox die, Medium Jewelry Tag punch, Circle punches, Corner Rounder punch, Scallop border punch, Nestie, Ribbon, Perfect Details Texturz Plate, Aqua brush, Pop dots.  Colors: Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Close to Cocoa, Blush Blossom, Going Grey.

Thanks for stopping by!

Patterned Pines - Merry Christmas

Less than two more days until Christmas can you believe it?  This is my last offical Christmas card for this year that I'm sharing today.  I used the hostess stamp set Patterned Pines to create this diorama card, you can find the directions here.  It's been a long time since I've made a diorama card but for some reason looking at the trees from this stamp set I wanted to give it a try again.  Each of the pine trees on this card were stamped three times twice in Garden Green and once in Real Red for the punched out circles on the trees.  All of the trees were popped up and for the center tree I doubled the pop dots to make it stand out even more.  The sides of the front Real Red panel were stamped with the snowflake that comes with this stamp set.

Supplies: Patterned Pines, Simple Snowflake, Grateful Greetings, Snowflake punch, Circle punch, Oval Coluzzle and Nestie, Button, Pop dots.  Colors: Real Red, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip.

I'd like to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas!

I hope you enjoy spending this holiday with your loved ones with lots of good food, laughter and joy.
