Another Simple Valentine

Posted on by

Groovy Love

Here is another simple Valentine that you can make in just a couple of minutes.  Actually, I think it really did only take me a couple of minutes.  I basically had to stamp the three hearts and punch them out using the Sweetheart Punch.  Stamp the sentiment, punch out the little heart and put it all together.  The big hearts and the sentiment are from the stamp set that is in the Annual Catalog called Groovy Love.  The nice thing about this set it is does have the matching Sweetheart Punch but it also goes with the Bitty Banners Framelits and 1/2″ Circle Punch.  Most of you probably have these already so this is a perfect set for you.

The Designer Series Paper is called Perfectly Artistic and you can get it for free with a $50 qualifying order.  There is a catch with this though.  It is going to retire on February 15th and will no longer be available to get.  There are actually three items in the Sale-a-bration catalog that are retiring on this date.  One of them is the very popular Sky Is The Limit Stamp Set and the stamp set called Hello.  The good news is Stampin’ Up! is going to add three more items for you to choose from starting on February 16th.  Come back and check out what these new items will be.

Watercooler Challenge WCC28

It is that time again for a Watercooler Challenge!  This time Buffy gave us a color challenge.  I don’t know why, but I had a hard time with this one.  I guess that is why they call it a challenge!  If it was easy, then it might not be as much fun.  Here are the colors we needed to use:

Wondrous Wreath

I managed to use four out of the five.  I just couldn’t fit that last one into my design without getting a rash.  I used the Christmas stamp set called Wondrous Wreath but made it a spring/summer wreath instead of a Christmas one.  The background is a new embossing folder called Brick Wall and the punch at the bottom is also new and is called Washi Label.  The sentiment is from Tin Of Cards.

If you would like to see the other participant’s gorgeous creations, click HERE.  We would love for you to participate.  Just make a card using these colors (or as many of them as you can without giving yourself a rash) and post it to the Watercooler Challenge web site!

Groovy Love

I was starting to get a little tired of Christmas Cards so I made this card to break things up a bit.  It uses the stamp set called Groovy Love.  Groovy Love matches the Sweetheart Punch so there is no fussy cutting in this card.  I also used the heart border punch for the center.  I know it is Christmas time but Valentine’s Day is right around the corner so now would be a good time to purchase these items so you will be all ready to make Valentines for the special people in your life before it sneaks up on you!

Kinda Eclectic

Kinda Eclectic is one of those stamp sets that didn’t really catch my eye until I started seeing a lot of card samples online.  Stampin’ Up! gave this set away to all attendees at their Convention this year in Salt Lake City.  I knew I had to have it after seeing all the beautiful cards.

For this card, I used some the the 2014/2016 In Colors (Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey).  The little hearts in the corner are from a new punch called Heart Border Punch.  I had used it to make another card and was left with all these little hearts.  They are adorable so I just attached some in the corner.

Back To Black Mojo Monday

mojo353This is this week’s Mojo Monday challenge.  Mojo Monday is an appropriate name because I needed to find a little mojo of my own.  Here is my card:

Back To Black

I decided to make a simple card using this sketch.  I used the Back To Black Designer Series Paper.  It has become one of my favorite papers.  The designs are beautiful and all of them are black and white.  I used the new Hearts Border Punch that is in the 2014/2015 Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog.  The sentiment is from World of Dreams and the Daffodil Delight heart is from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.
