Sun Sand and Sea Birthday Pocket Card

Happy Monday Friends!

I'm back today with the wrap-up of my Valentine's Day cards and a birthday card with a sea theme.

My pocket card is a mix of my vintage Creative Imaginations papers and the beautiful St, Tropez collection by Prima. I added in gold Metallic Kraft paper by Tim Holtz and champaign glitter paper from Hobby Lobby. The lovely blue velvety flowers with the gold beaded centers are part of the Prima ST collection.

Now for the final five of my Valentines for 2018. These were created almost entirely with my Simon Says Stamp January Monthly Card Kit.

I hope this is a wonderful week for you!

A Birthday Card & Lots of Valentines

Hi there! I hope you're having a great weekend!
There are a bunch of cards here today to show you. Some more of my Valentine's Day cards, but first off, an A2 size, kraft based birthday card made with older papers from my stash in a variety of patterns. You might recognize the two top layers, which are Marion Smith designs. I put on one of the Tim Holtz Ornate Plates to house my sentiment, which was stamped using the vintage Scrappy Cats Birthday set. There are also some Prima Say It In Crystals and one of their timepieces. The flowers are by I Am Roses.
Now if you'd like to stick around, please feel free to check out the next five of the Valentines I created for my family using the Simon Says Stamp January Monthly Card Kit. As of right now, it's still available here, which is incredible, because all the other kits for this year have sold out.

I hope you saw some you liked!

Let Me Count The Ways Valentine Pocket Card

Hello dear friends!

I started writing this post on the weekend, but it just wasn't going to happen. So let's see how I do with it tonight.

This is another of my Valentine's Day cards made from the gorgeous Mon Amour collection by Graphic 45.

I added just a couple of other elements like this Prima beaded center flower, a few leaves cut from gold glitter paper and an Alterations Thinlits die, and those stamped word blocks I created using the Simon Says Stamp Really Like You stamp set and their Cotton Candy cardstock.

For a bit of glitz, I brought in some Crate Paper's Main Squeeze heart stickers. 

And that's it for this card. I loved the way this turned out... love that black text paper.
I hope you're all having a wonderful week. Please drop in again soon.

Happy Valentine's Day Pocket Card

Hello dear friends and Happy Weekend!

For this Valentine's Day card I pulled out my January Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. As of today these kits are still available so you may want to pick one up here.

Along with my kit I used some 12x12 sheets from the Pebbles Forever My Always collection, Echo Park's Valentines Dots and Stripes, plus Crate Paper's Main Squeeze heart stickers. To match the heart stickers I also added in gold glitter paper as mats for some of my layers.

The flowers are by Prima... love these beaded centers. My pink nylon and pearl trim is from Hobby Lobby. For my die-cuts... Spellbinders Oval Florals and Alterations Doily and Stitched Squares.

I have to say I'm loving making these cards. Although I'm not a pink lover, there is something to say about a pink Valentine. They just melt my heart.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

You N Me Valentine's Day Pocket Card

Hi dear friends!
Looking to forget winter, if only in my imagination, I'm focusing on Valentine's Day cards. I recently had a special order for several which forced my to take a long hard look at my stash and do some serious shopping... which is still not complete. I started out by ordering a Simon Says Stamp Kit of the Month for January (my very first) called Favorite Person.

I absolutely fell in love with everything in this kit and ordered more of the papers plus a few others and some matching embellishments. Now I have a start, and this was my first Valentine's Day card of 2018. Since I liked the Prima Love Clippings collection in the 12x12 I ordered the 8x8 paper pad. I teamed it with some Echo Park Dots & Stripes Valentines in pink along with white glitter paper by DCWV and Kraft Metallic in gold.

I cut some foliage using Alterations Thinlits Festive Greens and Garden Greens. The flowers are from 49 and Market. The doily was cut with Tim Holtz Thinlits Doily and the hearts with Spellbinders Classic Hearts. I also added in a vintage cut-apart post card by Marion Smith.

Now that I have some substance to my Valentine stash, I'm off and rolling.
