175- Love You Much Bundle Card 2


This is the second card- there is going to be a new large heart punch in the new catalogue to punch out the image but for now I really like this look.

Recipe:

Stamp Set: Love you much

Ink: Close to Cocoa

Paper: Pink Pirouette, very vanilla, close to cocoa, candy lane designer series paper

Accessories: very vanilla 5/8" grosgrain ribbon

174- Love You Much Bundle Card 1


I designed a card kit for anyone who purchases the Love You Much Bundle from me. This is the first card- they are all nice simple cards that are easy to reproduce so that anyone who is making a lot of Valentine's can make them quickly.

Recipe:

Stamp Set: Love You Much

Ink: Riding Hood Red

Paper: Very Vanilla, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, Candy Lane Designer Series paper

Accessories: corner punch, 5/8" grosgrain Chocolate Chip ribbon

173- True Friends Card


Sheila originally sent me the inspiration for this case months ago and I have wanted to do it ever since. I also needed to make some French cards for my grandmother so once I got the set I made it right away.

Recipe:

Stamp Set: True Friends, Le meilleur do tout

Ink: Taken with Teal, Elegantly Eggplant, Old Olive

Paper: Taken with Teal, Elegantly Eggplant, Old Olive, Whisper White

Accessories: Markers, Scallop punch, circle punches

171- Sympathy Tuxedo Card


Again, another tuxedo card for my aunt's cardbox. I have been coveting this stamp forever but didn't realize we still sold the set- without offending anyone I have always skipped over the religious section of the catalogue, not realizing this was there. I just got it and am so happy- I think it will be a super useful stamp.

Recipe:

Stamp Set: Pocket silhouettes, Close as a memory

Ink: Basic black

Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White

Accessories: black embossing, word window, silver brads, ticket corner punch

170- Thinking of You Tuxedo Card


This is one of the cards that I made for my aunt's box of tuxedo cards. The minute I saw the card on splitcoast I knew I had to case it and just change up the colours- it was a fantastic layout and design!

Recipe:

Stamp Set: Baroque Motifs, Sincere Salutations

Ink: Basic Black

Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White

Accessories: Corner rounder, square punches, silver brads, 1/4" grosgrain ribbon

My New Favorite Thing


Look at this- is this not a thing of beauty? It is my new ink cabinet and god I love it! I had it made by a demonstrator's husband in Milton after I saw Jen's. He added the marker slots for me and I just adore it- he is so talented! I just filled it with all of my ink pads and markers and reinkers and I am sooo excited!!

Yes, yes I am a nerd

Happy New Year

I just wanted to say Happy New Year to all of you- I hope you had a fantastic holiday. Thank you so much for visiting my site over the past year- I really appreciate the support. I am hoping to start posting again this weekend and have a few ideas for some regular features on the blog. I can't wait to start doing the splitcoast challenges again soon- my goal for the New Year is to try to design the majority of my cards...which will be tough for me since there are so many amazing cards out there that I want to case! I also hope to scrapbook more and post those. If any of you have any ideas about cards, classes or kits that you would like to see please let me know- I always like a challenge!
