Haven't started your Valentine's cards yet? Here's a super simple card for you!! And, it's cute, too!!
I used the Sprinkled Expressions Sale-a-bration Set, along with the Adorning Accents Hearts Embossing folder! Colors are Real Red and Basic Black. And, I used 3 of the Large Pearls as an accent!
Have a GREAT day!!
Happy Saturday!! Hope you all have some fun plans for this weekend! Here's our sketch for today, brought to us by Elizabeth:
And my card:
I really love the way this one turned out! I wasn't sure about these colors, but you know me--I use whatever my designer paper tells me to use!! LOL!! This is the Attic Boutique Designer Paper, and the colors in this design were Soft Suede, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight! Thought the Daffodil Delight might be too bright, but I was wrong--love it!!
I used the Hearts Framelits to cut out the four hearts, then embossed them with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I added a strip of pearls, then one of our new "large" pearls, found in the Occasion mini catalog! I also used some Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon, but you can't see too much of it!
Hope you enjoy my card!! Who should I send it to? It's a blank card, so it could go to anyone!! hmmm.........
Head on over to the UDI Blog now and see what the other designers came up with!!
Happy Friday! I've been stamping the day away, preparing for my class on Sunday! Can't wait!!
This week's sketch was so much fun!!
There were a million ideas running through my head, but I ended up with an "obvious" interpretation of this sketch:
I used the Sweet Shop Designer Paper, and it picked my colors for me!! The card baseis Whisper White, then there's a layer of Wisteria Wonder--it was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. Then, I cut out squares of the designer paper and layered them on Whisper White. The butterflies were cut using the Beatiful Wings Embosslit--aren't the pretty?!! For the embellishment, I used half the Curly Label punch and a designer in-color brad! Super easy, but super sweet!!
Be sure to check out the Stamping 411 Blog and see what the other operators have done with the sketch! I've already seen them, and they are WOW!!!
Have a GREAT day!!

We're having a garage sale this morning! I don't enjoy having them, but we bought new furniture for our great room, so we need to sell the old stuff! I guess it's worth it!! :-)
Today's sketch over at the UDI Blog is brought to us by Elizabeth:
I loved the simplicity of this sketch! (and the colors!!) So much room for creativity!! Here's mine:
I love this designer paper!!! It's called Sweet Shop, and is found in the Occasions Mini Catalog! The fun part of this particular design is that the little white hearts are raised--so pretty, and such a nice texture! My heart comes from the "I {heart} Hearts" stamp set--I stamped it in Calypso Coral classic ink, then punched out using the large heart punch. (I know--I didn't use the hearts framelits!!) That is layered onto a heart cut out using the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit! The rest is just cardstock and layering! The ribbon is white satin! It's a very simple card, but I really love it!! I hope you do, too!!
Be sure and check out all the design team's work on the UDI Blog!! And have a GREAT weekend!
It's time for another Saturday Sketch Challenge!!! This week was a really fun one:
And, my card:
I used my "Bordering on Romance" stamp set (love this one!) along with a sentiment from "Loving Thoughts". We received this set at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference, and it's really pretty! I also used the Twitterpated Designer Paper--the colors are so great in this paper!! I stamped the flower in Black Stazon, then colored in with Stampin' Write Markers (Island Indigo, Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze and Pear Pizzazz).
Other items used:
Big Shot, Adorning Accents Edgelits and Embossing Folder; Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder; Baja Breeze, Island Indigo, Blushing Bride and Whisper White cardstock; large and scallop oval punches; blushing bride ribbon
