Corner Home

 

My cousin and her husband just purchased their first home! Congratulations for this huge step after their marriage! I chose the 'Coming Home' stamp set and paired it with the 'Corner in Bloom' stamp set. these stamps really do create a good 'anchor' for the stamps that need 'grounding'.

More Sweets

 

I really liked what Julianne Richard's did using the 'Sweet Conversations' stamp set. Now, I'm not sure what she used to get the tic-tac-toe grid, but I used the solid side of one of the stamps within the 'Jars of Flowers' stamp (the opposite side to the straw).

I changed a few things to make the card my own, but the general idea was all Julianne's - Thanks for your inspiration! 

I used the Basic Black Stampin' Write marker on the sided of the 'Petals and More' die-cut piece (for the sentiment) to make it stand out more. I added a Wink of Stella to the hearts to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Such a cute card I found on Pinterest! If it's yours, please let me know, as I love to give credit to all who give my inspiration! Thank You!

I did change up a few things to make the card my own. I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the heart to make it shine with a cute sentiment, as well.

Wild Valentine

I wasn't sure if I was ever going to use the raccoon stamp within the 'Wild &Sweet' set, but I found a way. Making a Valentine's card for my niece! She doesn't love raccoons, but knows her aunt does! 

I paired this stamp set with the 'Dainty Flowers' DSP (Designer Series Paper).

Elegant Poppy

 

My brother and his wife will be celebrating their 27th wedding anniversary! Congratulations!

I wanted to give them an elegant card, but I was so frustrated with my outcomes. I made two before scrapping them and starting over. 

I chose to utilize the 'Poppy Moments' dies. In which, a die-cut outline is placed over the die-cut shape of a different color. Here, I chose a monochromatic card of Sahara Sand and Basic White. A tip I've learn is to use the adhesive sheets when working with really intricate dies like this one.

(Place the adhesive sheet on your cardstock before running it through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine, then adhere to the die-cut shape after peeling off the second backing.)

I used 'Wink of Stella on the flower petals to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Conversations Meant

 

I loved the simplicity of the look of the blue/white combo for a masculine Valentine card that I saw on 'Nigezza Creates' card found on Pinterest.  I decided to create one of my own just using the Basic White and Night of Navy combo. Thanks for your inspiration Nigezza!

I used both the 'Sweet Conversations' and the 'Meant to Be' stamp sets on my card.... along with the 'Be Mine Stitched' and 'Sweet Hearts' coordinating dies. The background piece is the 'Stone' embossing folder.

Thanks for taking a closer look.

Sweet Valentine

 

I fell in love with Leah Fedynak's card on the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team's facebook post. I decided to try my hand at making one of my own, but changing it up a bit to call it my own. WOW... putting all those hearts together was a feat! LOL! I decided to keep the outline of the row of hearts on each, but changed the color to give it some contrast.

Thanks Leah for your inspiration!
