Valentine Owls


I got this Stampin Up Owl punch from a good
friend for Christmas and have been making lots
of Valentine cards with it.  I've also been using
the Negative Die Cut technique which I am hooked
on-look close and you can tell that the white area
is actually cut out of the red to show the white
cardstock underneath, instead of layered on top.
I saved the red piece to use later.    Now I center all my
 die cuts and save one piece to use later. I used die cuts:
Nesting eyelet squares, Hero Arts Banner/Pennant,
Sizziz, Branch w/Leaves. patterned cardstock is Amuse,
and flower is Recollections.  I have a collections of
similar technique Valentine cards and will post some
of those too.

Hip Girl



This cute image is from Bodilsscrappeverden blog, they
have a lot of cute free digi's or you can find her on my
Pintrest board for free digi's.  I am hooked on the  6x6
patterned paper packs like I used here - they make it
so easy to coordinate, and you don't use them forever and
get tired of the papers (in other words I can just keep buying
 more paper!)  - I used KI Growing Garden paper pad here.  I
used my favorite go to Die Cut Nesting Lace Ovals and Quick
Kuts Antique Doily (first time, I'll be using it a lot).  Ribbon is
Celebrate It (Michael's).  It has been snowing all day in St. Louis,
They are forecasting 8-12", and single digits the next 2 days, I
hope everyone keeps warm.

Hope Blooms


I thought this saying from Verve stamps was a good one for
starting the new year. Other supplies: Colorbok Natural Expressions
paper, flower jewels, organza ribbon (Michaels).
This will go to my new chemo buddy.
If you are interested in sending a card a week to someone
undergoing chemo to brighten their week check out this
wonderful organization:

Having a week off has just called me to my stamping
studio, I could not resist this Snowman Cheer digi

paper that came with him (had been sitting
on my table for awhile.)
