Sweet Valentine …

I had the best time last night – I was lucky enough to spend time with some lovely ladies who I met through Stampin’ Up.  It was great to meet other people who love crafting as much as I do, and of course there was cake, a cuppa, and lots and lots of giggles!  

We made 3 different projects … all with a Valentine theme.  This was my favourite …

 

I love the way Stampin’ Up products all co-ordinate with each other – it makes putting together cards and projects an absolute dream …

The heart image from the new perfect postage stamp set, from the new mini catalogue, goes so well with the sweetheart stamp set, from the main catalgue – those polka dots … I just love them! 

And I would not be without my stamp-a-majig.  It made it so easy for me to line up the images perfectly – such a cool tool!

My Cherie amour…

I love that song by Stevie Wonder! I was lucky enough to see him in concert in Manchester a couple of years back. He is one of my all time favourite artists and the concert was fantastic! I had the best time! Anyway, I digress…

For this card I was experimenting with new ideas and love the shabby chic look of the tag. This style of card could be used for birthdays, anniversaries, or even Valentines…but this one went to a very special friend of my daughter…

I give you my heart…

I love the way this card turned out. The design is simple – no ribbons or frills – to appeal to both males and females, with just a couple of strips of cherry cobbler cardstock stamped in the same colour for a tone-on-tone effect. Simple but effective – I love it!

 

 

I haven’t added a sentiment so it could easily be used for an anniversary, birthday, Valentine, or just because!
