Time Well Spent Card


I love this card that my friend, Jennifer, made so much that I had to share it with you. I love the combination of dsp she used from Bali Breeze and how she stamped the butterfly right onto the dsp and then cut it out. And I love how she punched out two squares and then stamped the sentiment inside the card and added a really nice scalloped edge. It almost looks like curtains on a stage! Great job Jen!

Wow, Laurie featured me on her blog for my Valentine's Day projects. Here are the rules for her meme. So I need to "tag" three more blogs that I have gotten great tips from.

  1. Chris - for her great stamp organizing tips!
  2. Maren - for all her great cards!
  3. Virginia - for all her creative ideas!

Free Stamp Set!

I got the inspitation for this card from Jen Foley for this swap card I made. I used Time Well Spent, a level 3 hostess set that Stampin' Up! sent all its demonstrators for free! It seems like every year, Stampin' Up! gives us a free stamp set! Last year it was Polka Dots & Paisley. The year before it was Sincere Salutations. Yeah for SU!

Valentine Treat Pouch

Every month, my upline gives us something to stamp, a challenge project. Last month she gave us a paper pouch. I decided to use it to make a cute Valentine treat pouch. It was originally white, so I used my brayer and some regal rose ink to give the pouch my base color. Then I used my love wheel over the layer of regal rose. I used the heart from Time Well Spent (a level 3 hostess set) and the sentiment from For a Friend (a level 1 hostess set) and watercolored them both with real red.

Post it notes

This is one of the projects we made at our meeting last week. Super easy, simple and cute! We just put some Bali Breeze dsp on 4" chipboard coasters, added a post it note with a binder clip and inserted a cute little pen. These will make great gifts!

Edited to add: Here is a place to buy these chipboard coasters. We used modge podge to adhere the dsp to the chipboard coasters and to the binder clip.
