Now for my share today :) Here's the 2nd Valentine's Day card we made at the Stamp Camp a few weekends ago:

I started with a Basic Gray card base & ran it through the Big Shot using one of the Texturz plates. I took a piece of Pink Pirouette card stock & ran it through the Big Shot with the Scallop Envelope die. It really doesn't show up in the picture but I sponged the edges of the envelope with Pink Pirouette ink before putting it together & popping it up on dimensionasl. I used the Heart to Heart punch to punch out some hearts from the Brights Designer Series paper stack; Regal Rose. Each heart was then popped up with dimensionals. Using a couple of the stamps from the brand new set "P.S. I Love You" (in the Occasions Mini) I inked up one with my Pink Pirouette ink & stamped it onto white card stock. I then used my SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig) to help me line up the sentiment (from the same set) & stamped that with black ink. The entire thing was then punched out with the Modern Label punch & also popped up with dimensionals. This could be used for an anniversary card or wedding card as well; imagine the color combo possibilities :)

Thanks for stopping by :)  Hope everyone is having a great week. Check back again soon & I'll have a project to share using one of the sets you can earn FREE during Sale-a-Bration :)

Pin It Now! With the holidays over & all the decorations taken down & put away I have found myself in a sort of shut-down mode; not much creating happening around here lately. I did however manage to come up with some projects for my Stamp Camp I had this past Sunday that I'd like to share with you; we created Valentine's Day projects. The first card I'm sharing uses a brand new set from the new Occasions Mini, "P.S. I Love You"; we actually used it on 2 out of 3 projects. A very versatile set you can use all year round; I know I'll definitely be using it a lot.

I kept the card base white & layered on a strip of Real Red designer paper from the Brights Designer Series pack & tied on a piece of black 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. I layered some white card stock over a larger layer of Real Red. Next I colored the strawberry from the "P.S. I Love You" set using some markers: Garden Green, Real Red, & Chocolate Chip & stamped it onto some white card stock. (I did this 3 times). I then used the 1 1/4" square punch & punched them out. They were each layered on a black square that had been punched out using the 1 3/8" square punch. Before I popped each square up using dimensionals I stamped the sentiment in black ink. I used Crystal Effects on the bottom portion of each strawberry to make them look edible ;) All the girls loved this card! So simple :)

I hope you've all had an amazing start to the new year & are able to find some time to create :) If you'd like one of the new Occasion Mini catalogs please email me & I will gladly mail you one.

Thanks for not giving up on me & have a fabulous day! :)
