Wood you be mine?

  Since we have extremely cold temperatures that froze yesterday's precipitation, I am spending another "weather day" crafting.  This little Valentine features Avery Elle's " Wood You" stamps and dies.  So much pun!!!

Thank you for visiting,

Inky Paws: Pretty In Pink Valentine

School was out yesterday in observance of MLK Day, and I got a lot done including a couple of cards.  Today, the weather threatens to turn icy and dangerous, so we are not having school.  What a great bonus day in that everything pressing is finished, and I can have fun!

The assembly of this card began with a bit of card stock inked with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink that I cut into an oval shape.  The image is Newton's Happy Mail, cut with a matching die.  The oval frame is from Little Inkers, and the hearts were cut using SSS dies.  The striped background panel was cut using Reverse Confetti's Lacy Scalloped Rectangle Dies.

VLV---Lots of Patterned Paper and One Little Stamp

A friend is having a birthday, and I received an amazing stack of Kaiserkraft papers called Celebrate, so it's time to create!   Within the card stock collection,  I was surprised to find shimmery textures, 6.5 x 6.5 inch squares, and lots of design elements to punch out and add to projects.  Well, the statement "A party without a cake is just a meeting" tickled my funny bone, so I had to use it.  It's toward-the-bottom-of-the-sheet placement took over the design of my card, forcing the circle to the layer below.  I tucked in a little tag and added a birthday sentiment from Verve's Poppy Birthday to finish the card that includes a little shimmer and texture on the aqua layer that just doesn't show in the photo.

Inky Paws Challenge: You're Wheelie Great

The current Inky Paws Challenge is called "In the Pink", so I gave this cutie a scooter all done up in pink and red.  The patterned papers are called Be Mine and are by Pebbles. There are so many fun patterns to mix and match for Valentine's Day.

Thanks for dropping by,

VLV: Thanks for Being So Kind

I am so very thankful for a little time to play with stamps and paper!!!  It's been busy lately, and things just aren't the same without some down time to create!  My card features one of my favorite Verve sets, Kindness Matters, and What the Doodle Feathers from Papertrey Ink.

AHSC 246: Happy Graduation

Hope you will play along with this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch; it is a great one for a  clean-and-simple look and has lots of room for interpretation. It will be fun to see different ways it is used.

I chose to inlay the word fantastic from Verve's Amazing Adjectives set in a rectangle cut from Bo Bunny paper with diagonal stripes.  The colors were chosen to celebrate a December college graduation.  The stamped sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.

Thanks for stopping by,

Inspired By Meets VLV: The Smallest Things

 I just adore the inspiration piece for Inspired By All the Little Things and always look forward to playing along at VLV.  My card is inspired by the little bunny, but I also noticed the pink bud and tiny green leaves.  So...I gave the sweet  bunny a spring setting---something I long for myself.

Stamps included in my card are: Hip Hop Bunnies with matching dies, and a Plain Jane that is now included in Verve's Little Ones.   The sentiment panel is cut using the rectangle from Falling Leaves and the card base is a scalloped Papertrey die.  I had fun using the Patisserie collection of papers by Recollections.
