My Greatest Adventure

I have already told you how much I love the Going Global stamp set.
I think this card is perfect for my sweet Valentine or for our
anniversary.  It is a masculine card with just a bit of frill to
show him how much I love him.  He is definitely an adventure
every day — I just never know what he is going to do or say.
My inspiration for this card was a card done by fellow
stamper Kimberly Van Diepen.
I love the blue like ocean, the “globe” and the doily.
Going Global ValentineThe case base is Lost Lagoon with a layer of Tip Top Taupe
and Whisper White.  The top layer is Lost Lagoon and
I used the new World Traveler embossing folder.
Isn’t that an awesome look.
I added a strip of Tip Top Taupe that I stamped
with an image from Timeless Textures stamp set.
I cut a doily in half and attached under the
world globe that is from the Going Global stamp set.
It is stamped on Whisper White card stock with
Tip Top Taupe ink and punched out with the
2″ Circle Punch.
I stamped the “Greatest Adventure” heart with
Soft Suede ink and colored the heart in with
Lost Lagoon marker — punch out with the
Sweetheart Punch.  Oops, don’t forget the
“LOVE” banner — I stamped the image on
Lost Lagoon card stock with Soft Suede ink and
cut the banner out with Paper Snips.
This is one of my favorite cards so far from the
Occasions Catalog — love it.

Love Blossoms Framed Art

I love framed art papercrafting.
I love the way people ohh and ahhh when they see the project.
I love when my stampers finish their project and are so proud
of what they accomplished.
I try to do a framed art piece for each holiday.
Here’s what we did for February — Valentine’s Day.
I just love how this turned out.
Love Blossom Frame
We started with the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit from the
Occasions Catalog.  There are so many great pieces in that kit
and so many pieces left to make cards and treat holders with.
We started with a 12″ x 12″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Next is Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Blushing Bride.
Rose Red card stock is used for the mats.
The main stamp set used is Bloomin’ Love,
the Boom, Boom stamp is from Groovy Love.
My Heart Smiles is from Suite Sayings.
And the world image is from Going Global.
We used the Bloomin’ Heart Framelit to cut out a heart from the
Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper.
The embellishment kit has the paper clip bow, the heart, the sequins,
the ribbon, pearl string and wooden heart.
This kit is amazing and it’s only $12 — order yours right away.

Rose Wonder Sympathy

Rose Wonder stamp set is another new stamp set
in the Occasions Catalog.
This stamp set helps you make some amazingly gorgeous cards.
Today's card is very simply but so beautiful and elegant.
I think it has a calming feel to it and is perfect for a sympathy card.
Rose WonderThe card base is Thick Whisper White and then another layer of
Whisper White that is popped up on dimensionals.
On this layer we've stamped the rose with leaves using VersaMark
ink and White Embossing Powder — heat with the Heat Tool.
Next use sponge daubers with Rose Red and Olive stamp pads
to color in the flower and leaves — it's ok if you go outside the
lines a little.  Stamp "With Sympathy" with Memento ink.
We also used the sponge dauber and Old Olive ink to sponge
around the edge before attaching to the card base.
