Filled with Love























I usually don't send out Valentines, mainly because I forget to put them in the mail in time. But this year I am ready with this ensemble. I think they really turned out nice. I started with the Filled with Love stamp set and coordinating paper that is on special for a short period of time. It comes as a bundle. Next I decided on a color combo. I had received a valentine swap from Terri Mills ( a fellow demonstrator in my side line) in Real Red and Basic Gray. I really liked the color combo and layout of her card, so decided to case it. Then I had to decide what paper designs I wanted to use. The paper comes in real red and pretty in pink (both look good with the basic gray). It was so easy to make a set of cards when you stick with a basic layout and color combo for all the cards and just swap out different dsp. Hope you like them.

Baby Blossoms







I wasn't going to get this set but then caved in at the last minute and added it to my pre-order. I loved the papers and adornments, but wasn't sure if I'd use this set. However, I enjoyed creating the different flowers and pairing it with the designer papers. I started by stamping the frame on a length of card stock using different colors of ink. Then I stamped the flowers on each frame, using different combinations. Next I stamped different sentiments from the You're a Gem set and cut out each frame. Finally, I laid out different combinations of papers from Springtime Vintage to create the finished cards.

Two more Nature Walk


These are the first two collage cards I made with this set. I have to give credit to Cherie Franklin for her inspiration for them. The cardstock is confetti white and very vanilla.

More Nature Walk


I have found lately that I've needed some sympathy cards. By pairing Nature Walk and Thanks for Caring, I made these two sympathy cards today.
Both cards have Marina Mist as the base, and Confetti White for the embossed tulip frame. I stamped the images on a piece of Botanical Gazette designer paper.


This is quickly becoming a favorite stamp set. It is sooooo easy to make a beautiful card with this set, especially when teamed with the matching designer paper (Botanical Gazette).

Nature Walk

Here's another card using Nature Walk. I colored the flower stamp with Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry and stamped it many times. I stamped the bird with Early Espresso and colored with markers and blender pen. Then I cut it out and popped it up with dimensionals. The dsp is the coordinating paper called Botanical Gazette.

Nature Walk with love and caring




I am loving this set called Nature Walk that is in the new Occasions Mini catalog out soon for everyone. It lends itself well to a collage look. And it looks great framed with the embossed framed tulips embossing folder. Here I've used Rose red card stock and seam binding. The sentiment came from another new set called Thanks for Caring which will be great for sympathy cards or when you just need to send a note of caring to someone.
