Valentine stamp candy and some cards…

Here’s some Valentines I came up with today… tomorrow is stamp club and we’re swapping simple Valentines.  ok – I tried!  I love the Printworks new heart stamp, sentiments and Holly Berry Red stamp pad!

The twine I used is from Doodlebug…it’s called Valentine!

The Row of Hearts is a new stamp from Printworks and the LOVE stamp is from them also but an older one.  I stamped the hearts with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers… R27 and R83.  There’s that twine again!  Oh,  I embossed lines above and below the hearts also.

Some more new stamps from Printworks!  Love that cupcake.. the sentiment and the little flower heart growing up between the scallops!  I’m linking this card up to the Clean and Simple Stamping Challenge Blog – a sketch and you’re to have a repeated element on the card more than three times.  I got carried away adding stuff to the circles…ugh! lol   EK Success border punch.

Now for the Valentine stamp candy… link up below and inlinkz will pick a winner (random) and these four stamps will be on the way to your collection!  Printworks sent me doubles of these four so I emailed Nicole and asked if I could give them away and she said, “yes”!

the cupcake                                                                                                      heart posey

Smile!

You can’t help yourself!  So go ahead and smile,  laugh out loud… giggle even! lol  This rosy cheeked Mushroom Girl is a new Swiss Pixie Lucy from CC Designs February stamp release.  Melt you heart sweet! I paper pieced her,  shaded with Copics and colored her hair and skin with Copics too.  Check out the super cute in the forest  circle logo stamp from the new Woodland Logos set and a new Leaves and Acorns die set… two different acorns and two different leaves… I just used one of each here… awesome!

I’m linking my Mushroom Girl card to the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 151 – I used their sketch for my card.  At Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog – it’s Anything Goes!

And here’s a front panel step card with new Swiss Pixie Woodland Lucy,  Woodland Daisy and Woodland Logos…

Here I used both acorns and both leaves from the new Leaves and Acorns die set. Notice the Daisies seed packet…the oval says Wooden…that’s Christine’s last name!  So fun!  I had to cut all those pieces out and pop them up!  I just love this card!  So earthy in colors and cute!  I made this a couple weeks ago and of course can’t remember the copics I used… oh why do I think I’ll remember… I know myself better than that!

The smile sentiment in the first card and the I’m here for  you sentiment are from a new AmyR Stamps sentiment set called Be Happy.

Here’s the inside…more from the sentiment set, another acorn AND a fabulous new border die called , Mushroom border! (I just used a couple pieces of it)

here’s another take a little from the side…

that’s it from me today.

Love that you stop in to see what I’ve been up to!  I appreciate your visit and love receiving your comments.  I’ll be stopping by soon!

Magnolia…Stolen Heart Edwin

Who stole my heart?  My achy breaky heart!  That Edwin…at it again!  This handsome guy is one of the new images from Magnolia’s Sweet Crazy Love collection.

I created a scene using the sketch from Stempeleinmaleins Challenge blog… I used Magnolia stamps, Edwin and the heart/love corner…Magnolia’s Doohickey Mini Zig Zag die for the grass…love it!

When you see the sketch, you’ll see why I used the branches in the top corners…a unique photo corner! lol  I was going to use the CCD Cutter parenthesis die with the AmyR Stamps All About Love sentiment, Be My Valentine but then decided to lay it up in the corner and there it stayed!

The polka dot paper is from the Echo Park, Yours Truly 6×6 paper pad.

Dark Chocolate…

It’s a dark chocolate cuppy cake kind of day!  My card for the reminder post over on the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge blog.  The challenge going on right now is a color challenge.. Blue, Brown and Tan.  I really meant for this to be a true blue card but the new Farmhouse 8×8 pattern paper pad was hogging my desktop, crying for use,  so I went with it. Ugh!  So my card is “kinda blue”! Rolling my eyes…@@   At least I got the brown right and kraft is tan,  isn’t it?  Today it is the new tan!!! lol  Head over and create for a chance to win!

The half doily is cut from one of the pieces of pattern paper in the pad.  Hug Snug ribbon dyed with a Walnut Stain distress stain.  All the pieces are edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool. Instead of messing with thread for the buttonholes,  I cut a sliver of card-stock to thread the button with… glue it on the back… slick.

The cupcake die is so cool…the bottom embosses,  I used a little copic marker from the bottom up on the cupcake paper… Y28… the dark chocolate is enhanced with E40, 44,47,49.   I tried vintage shard glass glitter on the top but just didn’t like it w/the more old fashioned feel of the papers so took it off and colored it and added the button instead!  The cupcake logo is stamped on a piece of the paper from the pad too.

I used the sketch from Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge blog HERE

So that’s my bit of shabby chic for today.  Wish it was healthy to eat these things for breakfast, lunch and supper!  Hey,  just stick a carrot in the top!  Carrots make everything healthy, right?! ha!  oh that reminds me of the broccoli ATC I made for a friend one year… it was a picture of a broccoli cake!  She hates broccoli! lol

I found the picture of it…hahaha… well,  I think it’s funny anyway! lol

ok – I’ll shut up and finish…
