Sent with Love bundle

Pin It
Check out these cute cards... they are made with the Sent with Love Stamp Set and Designer Series Paper—if you buy them in a bundle you get for it 20% off and Calypso Coral Baker’s Twine for free! But guess what, it gets even better. Jill Olsen came up with this idea.  Just add 2 ink pads (calypso coral and pool party), a package of paper (real red or 2011-2013 In color pack), real red marker, note cards and envelopes, and then because it is Sale-a-bration time you can get the Sycamore Street buttons and ribbon pack for free! They go perfect with this DSP. Then you can make tons of cards for about $50! I added another pack of note cards and made 36 using just half of the pack of DSP and ribbon.
Below are the cards I made with everything left to make more, along with instructions!
If you would like to see how I cut the DSP click here to download the document.  I like to cut all my paper at once. I try to make my cuts simple and get the best usage of paper. You will get 24 cards out of two sheets by cutting them at 4x2-1/2. those pieces are backed with a 4-1/4x 2-3/4 piece of card stock (you need exactly 3 sheets for that,I know awesome, not a speck left). Then place on note cards, embellish those and they are done. The next set of cards use a quilt design, Now I'm not a quilter, so this was the easiest way for me to cut it. Look at the diagram here, way easier than explaining it. Then I just flipped over half of each kind and shape and started assembling the rectangles on the note cards. Then just embellish and you have cards to last a year or two or three. There is actually one kind of DSP in the pack that we didn't even use. To see how Jill cut her paper(a little different than me) Check out her you tube video here to see how she does it.

Valentine Printables

Pin It
Need a valentine idea? I saw on a local morning show this idea. You put a little something in a bag to open every hour of the day. I took it a little bit further and made little tags to go with each little treat that he loves. Now I know I picked them for my hubby, but I bet it's not a stretch to think that your man might like the same things too. A few of them you could adapt or even use them individually. Go ahead and print out your own then just add a heart or two to cute it up. I was lazy and just stuck the tags to the treat with Delicate Details Lace Tape.


love u every hour of the day-1

love u every hour of the day-2

Need some more? Here are the Valentines that my kids are sending this year.  The sticky hearts and mazes are from Oriental Trading. Sorry about the pictures, still having camera issues. But the tags should print out great! Have fun!

amazing valentine

stuck on you valentine

Petite pocket Valentine

Pin It
The trick to fitting this embossing folder on this die is to trim the bottom of your embossing folder right up to the image. Rubber scissors work great for this. Then the die will easily fit sideways in your Big Shot.

Vintage Inspired Heart cards

Pin It
Diane Oliphant made this card. Then we had to try it with some vintage paper.  Look below to see how it is assembled. It is important to put something 3-d on the bottom of the heart to hold it open. The glittery heart has 3 dimentionals stacked on each other at the top to prop it up and a glue dot to hold it down at the bottom.
 Use the largest heart and the third heart.  The fold on the larger heart is 2" from the tip.  The small heart is folded at 1-1/4. It is important to use your Simply Scored tool so the fold will go straight across.
It easily closes to fit in an envelope!
