Love Note

Hello dear Readers and Friends,

Valentine's day is coming up soon and why not get started on some ideas for cards and gifts?

Dostamper Stars 265 has gotten us started. I made this as a gift enclosure card rather than a full size, but it can easily be made in a full size card.

While this appear a bit tricky, it is really not. The hearts are cut using the Love Notes framelit. I did cut in a diagonal so the positioning would be easier. That was done with both the Bundle of Love Specialty DSP and Chocolate Chip card stock. The sentiment I used is from the Sealed with Love stamp set. The ribbon is sadly retired, but I have a bit still a small amount in my stash. Of course the card would not be complete without a bit of bling.

Thank you for your visit today. Make yourself comfortable and spend some time browsing and getting ideas.  Come back soon. Be well

Miriam

Cozy, cozy.

Brrrr. It has been too cold to even go out; which in a way is perfect so I get to spend time in my craft room and also getting some purging done. Other than the children regular activities, I choose to stay indoors as the cold does not do me well and the wind has been too unfriendly for me.

Of course we need some warmth, even if only in my wishful thinking. Valentines come to mind when thinking of warmth, coziness, and togetherness. The inspiration from Dostamper Stars 213 got me jump started on Valentines ideas and I pulled out one of my favorites framelits and stamp sets, the Bloomon' Hearts. This time I cut the flowers in Pink Pirouette after stamping them in Real Red. The little "branch" when the birds sit was cut from the new Oh So Succulent framelits and the sentiment is from its matching stamp set The birds from the Thoughtful Branches bundle and add a nice touch of coziness to this card.

Thank you so much for your continuous support, encouragement, nice words, and love. Be well

Miriam

A cookie, my love?

The love season is on, and we shall celebrate. Cookies and chocolates, and wine, and all the possibilities.

I have worked this card for the Dostamper Stars challenge 116 and the inspiration picture was so delicious I could almost bite it. Instead, I settle to using the Hearts Collection framelit, the new Perpetual Calendar stamp set, and also the Simply Wonderful Sale-a-Bration stamp set. The simplicity of the card is striking to me and I hope you will enjoy this project too.

Love is in the air.... always!

First week of the year? Well, then we continue with the greetings: Happy New Year!

I have been putting off making a shaker card for one reason or another. However, today is the day. Besides using a new product, I also used e technique new to me. That's a good way to start the new year, isn't it?

I prepare this card to enter at the Splicoaster Stampers Challenge WT512. I love it how they have a challenge each day of the week. The new item is the Heart Border Punch and I created a frame with it so to have the sentiment showing through the shaker window. The little hearts punched out were enough to go into the window and place some on the side. Love it! No pun intended.
