Garden From The Heart

With so many new sets in the Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration catalogs, I haven't really used them all yet...today I worked on a card with Garden From The Heart.  I used Rich Razzleberry as the base with Sahara Sand and Old Olive.  On the Sahara Sand piece, I stamped the flower from With All My Heart in White craft ink.  On the Old Olive piece, I ran it through the Perfectly Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder.  I used colored pencils to color the hat and gloves.  I used the Wide Oval punch for the gloves and the Scallop Edge Border punch on the Hat. I'm trying to use some of these new sets as much as possible...I've already reached heart "burnout"! LOL

This one of the cards we made in class this past week.  It's a pop up card I saw on Splitcoast...I had a template for the inside portion but we always do things the "cheater" way if we can find a way to do it easier!  With a couple of folds we were able to achieve the same effect.  Also used was the Sizzix Scallop die cut to cut the base of the card.  We used I {Heart} Hearts for inside and out along with Whimsical Words...two great sets! All images are stamped in Melon Mambo...one of my favorites!

Things I Love

It's Superbowl Sunday and I'm not a big football fan so that just means MORE STAMP TIME!!  I'm going to put on Lifetime movies and spend the day stamping!  My card today is using Things I Love.  I've used the scallop edge punch for the trim and With All My Heart for the background stamped in white craft ink.  Images are stamped in Pixie Pink...

Sweet Pea Stitched Felt

Today's card features the new Sweet Pea Stitched Felt flowers from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  Also used was the Sweet Pea DS paper on a Tempting Turquoise CS base.  The flower is set on a white 1 1/4 circle and matted with a Pink Passion 1 3/8 circle.  The greeting is from Whimsical Words from the Sale-a-bration catalog. 

I {Heart} Hearts

TGIF!!! Today's share is made with I {Heart} Hearts...This is the set you can purchase and SU will donate $2 to assist in Haiti!  The hearts were placed on one big acrylic block and stamped like a background stamp.  The greeting is from Well Scripted and the little monkey is from Fox and Friends.  He holds a Pixie Pink heart punched from Heart to Heart punch and is backed with a Real Red heart punched with Full Heart punch.  The Real Red border is punched with Pinking Hearts Border.

Fox & Friends

This is another one of the great sets in the Occasions Mini Catalog, Fox and Friends...

The base of the card is Soft Suede with Old Olive, Crushed Curry, and Dusty Durango layers.  I also used the new DS paper, Good Neighbors from the SALE-A-BRATION catalog.  The fox is on layered with dimensionals on 1 1/4 inch circle and scalloped circle.  Edges are punched with eyelet border punch.

Greeting is from Love Bandit and punched with word window punch.

Happiness Always

Today's share is a perfect example of how quick you can make a card with little or no effort.  The base of the cardstock is ballet blue with so saffron square matted with soft suede.  It's also embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions folder.  The blue DS paper for the other piece is from the Good Neighbors paper pack from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  The image is DS Sweet Pea paper from the Occasions Mini Catalog stamped with greeting from Whimsical Words.
