I Love You

I was needing to create some cards for display at one of the local bakeries in town and looked through my photos taken at Leadership a few weeks ago.  Realizing I hadn't used this stamp set, I figured this one would work.  Not sure who created the original card but I made a few changes as I didn't have all the stamp sets used.  Hope you like this evenings post!  Last but not least check out my favorite commercial from tonight's Super Bowl.  







Stamp set:  Cross my Heart, Hearts a Flutter

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Primrose Petals, More Amore Specialty DSP, vellum

Accessories:  Honeycomb Textured Embossing folder, Hearts a Flutter die, primrose 3/8" stitched satin ribbon, Elegant Butterfly punch, Beautiful Wings Embosslits




I am who I am today because of my strong upbringing raised on a farm.  So thanks to my parents and grandparents for all your hard work!

Hearts a Flutter

Greetings everyone from our Stampin' Up! Leadership meeting in Orlando, Florida!  I have not dropped off the face of the earth just been consumed with family sickness and the holiday rush. I've been having a blast here and we haven't had many meetings yet.  But how can you go wrong being around other people with the same passion as you do:)  

Today is a post with a swap from our Inking Everything group.  I also shared it with my sweet roommate here at Leadership, Carrie Rhoades of Carrie Stamps.  I know, its so funny how I end up with a roommate with the same name:)



This card involves a new technique I learned from my sweet Mom!  This card involved me having to do laundry to have the dryer sheets I needed because who saves their dryer sheets!!  So the first step is to stamp your images on a piece of cardstock.  After the ink dries apply multi-purpose glue over the entire piece of cardstock and attach your dryer sheet over the inked images.  Now sprinkle dazzling diamonds over the top and voila you have an impressive sparkly card.  You can wrap the excess dryer sheet around the back and secure with adhesive. Embellish the remaining card as you like.  I've used a lot of the new accessories from the latest mini catalog.  Email me if you have not received your mini catalog and I'll drop one in the mail for you.  karlita@tctwest.net

Cardstock:  Whisper white, Primrose Petals, More Amore Specialty DSP  

Stamp set:  Hearts a Flutter

Accessories:  Sycamore Street ribbon & button pack in the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalog, Paper Doilies, Dazzling Diamonds

Thanks for stopping by and have a happy stamping day!!
