Stamp Off Blooming Heart Valentine

Welcome to our first February Stamp Off Challenge.

Buffy, Susan and I are "Loving it"!

Hopefully you are ready for Valentine's Day, 

with a lovely (hand made) card for your sweetie.

For my project, I picked up my neglected Bloomin' Heart

Thinlits die (Annual p 215) and a piece of Dazzling

Diamonds Glimmer Paper (p 194). 

The Glimmer paper

heart is so pretty, that I added a couple of layers under

the sentiment, to make it stand out.

And OF COURSE, I included layers of the

Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack,

to make it feel like the heart was attached to a tree.

It was lovely having you, and I know that you will

enjoy the love that Susan and Buffy will share with you!

Butterfly Basics with Stampin' Blends

This is a quick project, using the Butterfly Basics set

on page 149.  I colored it with the Stampin' Blends,

which make this kind of project easy to complete!

The Color Theory DSP pack always comes in

handy, when you want to perk up a card.

Bubble Over on Wood Textures

I tend to abstain, but for this post, I'm really into drinking.

The Bubble Over set, with Bottles & Bubbles Framelits

dies (Occasions p 32) is cute cute, CUTE. 

There are so many details included, yet they are not too

tiny for layering and building great cards.   I prefer bolder

images and dies because sometimes I'm all thumbs

when it comes to crafting.

I go back to the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper

Stack (Annual p 187) over and over.    It is so

effective because it sets off the images in a really

friendly visual way.
