Hearts a Flutter Valentine

Hello! It is Friday and the Fab Friday team is back from our break and ready for a brand new color challenge! It's a color challenge this time, and I LOVE these colors together! What do you think?

So pretty, right? Here is the card I made using these colors (that are conveniently found in the Fresh Prints DSP stack). We made this card at my stamp-a-stack last Friday, and I think everyone really liked it.

Stampin' Up Supplies Used:
Stamps: Hearts a Flutter, Bitty Banners
Paper: Real Red, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Fresh Prints DSP stack
Ink: Real Red, Coastal Cabana
Accessories: Big Shot, Bitty Banners framelits, Arrows EF, Postage Stamp punch, Banner punch

Please be sure to stop by and play along with us at Fab Friday. The challenge doesn't close until February 13th, so you have lots of time! Can't wait to see what you create! Pin It

Washi Tape for Fab Friday!

Wow! Those two weeks just slipped away from me! In the past two weeks, both of my kiddos have celebrated their birthdays (and my hubby's is tomorrow) and school has started! We have had a skating party, a family party, and a trip to the American Girl store. Is it hard to believe that my stamp time has been extremely limited?!? My youngest started Kindergarten on Monday so I am adjusting to my new routine and schedule as a SAHM with all of her kids in school. I have to say that so far, I'm not loving it. Sure, I have more time to myself and am able to get more done (and much more efficiently), but my house is just SO quiet. I miss my little rascals during the day. I told my husband that I may have to resort to watching trashy daytime TV just to have a little bit of noise in the house!

So, anyway, my apologies for not posting, but at least now you understand the reason. It is time for another challenge at Fab Friday! Yay! It is a sketch challenge this time. Check it out!

I see lots of possibilities for this sketch. It is a pretty versatile one! I am teaching two classes today all about washi tape, so I have it on the brain and decided to use it for my card. I think this card could easily fit many occasions by simply changing the sentiment.

 

 

Stampin' Up Supplies Used:

Stamps: Chalk Talk, Hearts a Flutter

Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Gray, Very Vanilla

Ink: Basic Gray, Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: Big Shot, Hearts a Flutter framelits, Large Heart punch, Cherry Cobbler seam binding, Season of Style washi tape, Epic Day washi tape

Technique: double bow

 

Isn't that bow pretty? I saw a youtube video about how to tie them and decided to give it a try. It wasn't hard, but I will have to do it MANY more times before I can do it on my own.

 

OK, now it's your turn! Come on over to Fab Friday and play along with us!

January Class Cards (Part 2)

I know, I know... I said that I would post a project from my most recent class each day until they were all posted. Oops! We had a semi-busy weekend and I didn't get a chance to photograph them until today. The good news is that I only have one more to show you after this post (I am saving one to share later) and I'm going to schedule its post for tomorrow. :)

If you are in need of some last minute valentine treats, look no further than the Petal Cone die! I used it to make these adorable mini take out boxes. Take a look!

Stampin' Up Supplies:
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Real Red, More Amore DSP, Champagne Glimmer Paper, Red Glimmer Paper, Very Vanilla
Ink: Real Red
Accessories: Big Shot, Petal Cone die, Stampin' Trimmer, Hearts a Flutter Framelits, Large Heart punch, Bitty Banners framelits, sticky strip, glue dots

I gave you a top view because the side view wasn't much to look at. How cute are these little tags? I made them with the Champagne glimmer paper (which is still available- yay!) cut with the scalloped heart framelit from the Hearts a Flutter framelit collection and the Red glimmer paper punched with the large heart punch. Don't they layer nicely? The little banner was cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, which works beautifully with the framelits. I got the idea for these treats from Dawn Olchefske's blog. She even has a video posted on exactly how to make these fun little boxes.

We also made a Valentine's Day card at my class.

 

 

Here is another version on the same card that could be used as an anniversary card or just a love card, rather than a valentine.

Stampin' Up Supplies:
Stamps: Delightful Dozen, Seasonal Sayings, Hearts a Flutter
Paper: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Red Glimmer
Ink: Black Stazon, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black marker, Cherry Cobbler marker
Accessories: Big Shot, Chevron EF, 1 1/4" square punch, Postage Stamp punch, Cherry Cobbler baker's twine

Hope you liked these projects for Valentine's day. Check back tomorrow to see the last project (I mean it this time). ;-) Pin It

Fab Valentine

It's Friday and you know what that means- a new challenge at Fab Friday! We have a color challenge this time and it is perfect for Valentine's Day (and other occasions too). I hope you will play along with us!

Here is my project using these pretty colors. This card came together so quickly and easily that it shocked me. I sometimes struggle with color challenges, and I haven't done much stamping lately. Plus, my mojo has been pretty hit or miss, but I was really happy with the results for this one. :)

Stampin' Up Supplies Used:
Stamps: Hearts a Flutter, Petite Pairs
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party, Pink Pirouette, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Big Shot, Hearts a Flutter framelits, Adorning Accents folders, Pool Party ribbon

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to swing by Fab Friday and play along.
