Valentine Treat Bundle

This card was the FREE card at my Mini Marathon on Jan 5th!!  Sorry you missed it, but you can still make this card at the next Stamp a Stack.  Check the calendar and rsvp!

This card uses the Single Heart Stamp on Special!  Stamped in Real Red on Whisper White and punched with the Heart Punch.  The Fabric Heart was cut with the Hearts Framelits.  Real Red Core'dination card stock was embossed with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder and sanded.  Adhere to a Whisper White card base.  Add one of our new Doilies for the Lacy Look.  I used Tombow multi adhesive to glue the fabric and popped up the Stamped Heart with a Stampin' dimensional.

Here are 2 projects using the Valentine Treat Bundle available until Jan. 21st!  This bundle comes with the single Heart stamp and a package of 50 1X8 treat tubes.  These treat tubes hold M&Ms, Licorice, pencils and tons of other items.  This Stamp is a single clear stamp and fits with the Heart punch!
I stamped 2 hearts with Real Red ink on Whisper White card stock and punched with the Heart punch.  I added 2 packs of Smarties to the treat tube.  Tied it off with some of our Valentine Fabric and used Hearts a Flutter Framelits for the Scalloped Heart to frame my Stamped Hearts.  Glued one heart directly to the treat tube and popped the other one up on the Scalloped Heart.

Stacked Birds

Can you tell I am in love with the Honeycomb Embossing folder?  I used it to create texture on the Poetry Prints Designer paper and then embossed a separate piece of Midnight Muse and cut out 3 honeycombs and randomly popped them up.  The Birds are colored with Watercolor crayons and a Blender pen.  Punched with the 2 3/8 scallop circle and layered on a 2 1/2 circle of Crumb Cake card stock.  I inked the sentiment separately and punched with the Modern Label punch.  Two brads anchor the sentiment and mimic the polka dots in the paper.  A strip of Midnight Muse satin stitched ribbon ties the Midnight muse thru out the card.

Spring Bird

Here is another version of the same bird used yesterday on the Valentine.  This time I left the sentiment with the stamped image and it fits nicely in the 2 3/8 Scallop Circle punch.  I could not resist using the Honey comb embossing folder.  This time I inked it up with some Crumb cake classic ink and ran the Naturals Ivory card stock thru the Big Shot.  The Bees from Collage Curios Stamp set fit perfectly in the comb! 
The Tree is a piece of Early Expresso Core'dinations card stock and the Woodgrain embossing folder.  The leaves were cut from Certainly Celery card stock with the new Secret Garden Framelits.  The Bird was colored with Watercolor crayons and a Blender pen, then popped up on the tree.  More Birdies flying in tomorrow........

Love Bird

Here is another Bird from the stamp set "For the Birds".  This little fella says "thinking of you", but I did not ink that part up when I stamped in Black Stazon on Naturals Ivory card stock.  I colored with a blender pen and watercolor crayons.  The designer paper is from the Spring Mini and is called More Amore.  The Primrose Petal Heart is cut from the laser cut sheet.  There are 16 hearts on 1 sheet!  One inch strips of other patterns were snipped with a Square punch to create the pennant finish. 

The Bird was cut out with the new Hearts a Flutter Framelits.  Love was stamped from the Ciao Baby stamp set and punched with the new Petite Curly label punch.  A bit of Linen thread ties it all together on the Naturals Card base embossed with the Chevron embossing folder.
