Valentines Day 2018

According to the calendar today is the day we recognize and celebrate those we love.  In creating and sending handmade cards throughout the year I am choosing to recognize, value and celebrate those I love not just one day a year but, many times over in the year. 

Every once in awhile you create a card that you fall in love with.  To be honest you amaze even yourself with what you have created.  This year I think I hit it out of the park -  yes I am tooting my own horn!  

This beautiful  card is created using two of my favorite Fun Stampers Journey Card stock colors  -Bubble Gum and Watermelon Fusion.   The Whip Cream card stock was embossed with FSJ I Heart embossing folder.  It was then dusted with Pan Pastels in Bubble Gum and Silver.  The stamp is from the 2017-2018 Inspiration Catalog and is called You Are (it is only$8.95 to purchase).  The card is pulled together with Satin Watermelon Fusion Ribbon and accented with Brushed Silver Organza Ribbon. 

Please remember today You are amazing, beautiful, remarkable, brilliant & loved.

Treat Bags

Treat Bags are so versatile and can be used in so many different ways.  I love these small ones Fun Stampers Journey offers.  So many uses for them.  This is a current project using them.

I am creating 300 (yes you read that correctly 300) Thank You bags for a non-profit I volunteer with. They are celebrating 10 years and wanted a small "party favor" people could take with them as they leave.  

I am currently attaching the paper hearts to each bag and tying them up.  I used Fun Stampers Journey Clear Bags (50 in a package) Candy Apple Red Card-stock, Romantic Journey Printed Paper and Journey Candy Apple Twine.  You can order any off these supplies off my website - link located at the top right of this blog.

I also used these bags to create these fun Christmas gifts for all the gals who attend my classes. These bags can be used in so many ways and are such a fun size to work with.

Let me know in the comments what you would use these bags for.

Tea Cup Card & Kit

I love all things tea!  When I find a tea cup stamp the ideas start flowing and a card is created. This card was created without words on the front so it can be used for any occasion.

This card was created using all Fun Stampers Journey Products.  I used the following paper colors:  Buttercream base, Denim Days, Sweet Berry, Pineapple Smoothie and a patterned piece of paper from the Romantic Journeys Paper Packet.  I embossed the Denim Days paper with the Love Letter Embossing Folder.  I colored the tea cup with the Fun Stampers Journey Color Splass Watercolor Pencils. The twin that finishes the card is Journey Twine Natural. 

I have put together a kit for purchase using this stamp set.  You can create four of this beautiful card exactly as it appears and also have the stamp to create your own beautiful cards for $10.00.  If you would like a kit please contact me at loves.tea@gmail.com
