White on White Valentine

I'm getting ready to do a stamping party today—can't wait. I haven't seen these friends in awhile; it will be a fun day.

We were planning to be at a bus rally this weekend and that didn't work out, so I'm going to see other friends today. Jim's been reading me notes from our friends at the rally—we're missing everybody.

I'm about to subscribe to a professional newsletter service, so be on the lookout for some really great newsletters beginning in February. There will be projects in them which I'll be so happy to supply you with. You'll receive about four letters each month—at least that's the way I understand it. I can't wait to get started with it. By the way, please tell your friends about my blog and newsletter. I'd love to have them subscribe, too.

Now for today's card; it's another swap and was created by Blair Moch.

It's white on white, which I think is very rich. Here are the ingredients:

Stamp Set: I (Heart) Hearts, Artistic Etchings (there's a set in the current mini catalog that has a very nice “Amour” as well as other great stamps—it's called Clearly for You. It's the set that was given to us a Leadership and I love it.)

Paper: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Cherry Cobbler

Ink: Early Espresso, Pretty in Pink, Cherry Cobbler (can you see the heart that has a design on it? I thought it was patterned paper, but it isn't; the design is part of the stamp.)

Accessories: Heart to Heart punch, Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon, Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

There is a layer of whisper white card stock that has been put through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, that is layered on  top of the whisper white card base.

Have a great Sunday!

A Sweetheart Valentine Card

This is a swap that I received at Leadership; the card was made by Ann Cardile.

Don't you just love it? I do. I decided to make it my first blog project because it uses a stamp set that is on special and the set is only available through January 24.

I'm going to list the supplies and then tell you about the set that's only available for a little longer.

Stamp sets: Filled with Love**, Sweetheart

Card Stock: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink

Inks: Real Red, Wild Wasabi

Accessories: Sizzix Big Shot with Framed Tulip Folder, Full Heart Punch

**Filled with Love Bundle is available only through January 24.  For details, (click here).

The leaves and outline heart are from the Sweetheart stamp set, shown on page 58 of the current catalog. The 3-D heart is from Filled with Love—you'll notice that there are three hearts used, each folded in half and adhered together in order to get the 3-D effect.

When you order the bundle, you receive a package of buttons FREE!

Please let me know if you want me to give you more details (item numbers and prices) or what I can do to make this blog user friendly for you.

By the way don't forget that stamp camp is coming February 19 & 20.  Please contact me for details.

I'm excited to share this with you and I'm also very excited to have my first project on my blog.  Don't forget to subscribe (on the right) so that you'll be notified each time I update my blog.
