LOVE

 I can hardly believe that Valentine's Day is only a couple of weeks away! Weren't we JUST in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Christmas??? Well, even so, my calendar tells me it's time to get going on making valentine's. 

I found this digital image as a freebie from Bugaboo stamps! Go on over to Bugaboo and download it. It's called Valentine Jar.  But hurry, it will only be a freebie through February 4.

Besides the digital image, I used card stock from SU - Real Red and Regal Rose. A piece of polka dotted DP from American Crafts, various Copics for coloring, Snow White Opaque marker to add some white dots to the bottom valentine, Wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer to the top valentine, a few matching enamel dots, MFT Pierced Rectangle Die and a ribbon and bow die called Cinched Ribbon Bow by Frantic Stamper. 

Now on to making more valentine's! 

JESUS LOVES YOU!

Hi everyone! I'm here with a card I made using another die from the January Frantic Stamper release called Interlocking Squares Frames (FRA-DIE-10939) along with a stamp set called Scriptures (FRA-CL-159) from an earlier release of Frantic Stamper.

LAYERED TIGER LILY

The holidays were so busy I wasn't able to get many cards shared with you. But HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! I'm back again to share one of the newest cards I've designed for the Frantic Stamper January release.

One of my favorite flowers is an orange tiger lily and my favorite color is orange. This was perfect...win, win! 

The pretty DP is MFT's Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots Pastels. The solid colors of cardstock used is Sweet Mango and Dark Sage by Gina K Designs. This beautiful die is called Layered Tiger Lily by Frantic Stamper (FRA-DIE-10953) and the sentiment is also by Frantic Stamper called In Sympathy (FRA-CL-168). This die would be great to use to make anniversary, birthday and thinking of you cards.

I'll be back soon with more cards I designed for this months release. :)

WISHING YOU

I'm here to share with you a sweet holiday card that I made for Createful Heart Design this month using their image called Little Baking Girl. 

This image reminds me of baking cookies with my granddaughters.  I hope to do scrapbook pages using the pictures of baking with them and will also use this image on the page. 

SEASON'S GREETINGS

I wanted to share a card I designed this month with a wonderful new digital image from Createful Heart Design. Isn't it a great image??  Lots of detail in this one.

The beautiful red card stock is called Cherry Cobbler by Stampin' UP. I used a gorgeous piece of DP from K&Company and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

Also used were pretty shining adhesive dots by Gina Marie Designs and a glittery snowflake from Recollections. Copics were used for coloring the image.

You can find this digital image, called Holiday Yum, HERE!

TRICK OR TREAT

As soon as I saw my package of the new October Frantic Stamper release that was sent to the Design Team, I knew it was also going to be used for my Halloween card that I send out yearly to my family. Trick or Treating is one of my favorite memories with my brothers and sisters growing up. We had so much fun and looked forward to it all year long! 

In making my 5"x5" card, I used SU Only Orange and Basic Black card stock.

A Piece of DP from my Halloween paper stash and a piece of 3/8" Halloween ribbon. Various colors of Copics were used to color all of the little candy pieces.

Frantic Stamper Dies (FRA-DIE-10883) Halloween Candy Bucket and (FRA-DIE-10684) Reverse Cut Halloween Words were the main dies used.

        HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

BEWARE!

I'm back with another fun Halloween card made with more of the Frantic Stamper dies from their August release.

I used the FRA-DIE-10884 Cupcake & Halloween Toppers #1, FRA-DIE-09234 Scary Words and FRA-DIE-10752 Tri-Panel Card Base die from a previous release. The Tri-Panel Card Base die is one of my favorite dies now! I use it often for lots of different cards. The card stock used are all from Stampin UP! Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive. The background was done using several colors of Gina K Design inks along with blending brushes. I like how it came out.
