Today I created two fun projects for an upcoming card club! Since Valentine’s Day is a few weeks away, I wanted to focus and get a little head start.
My projects feature Stampin Ups new ​From the Heart Suite! This gorgeous suite can be found in the new 2020 Mini Catalog! The DSP is beautiful and several of the sheets have a foiled appearance! And best of all you can use the Heart Punch Pack to punch out several of the hearts on the paper!

The card was created using a sheet of Real Red cardstock cut to 5.5x8.5 and scored on the 8.5 side at 4 1/4. I added a layer of DSP on top that measures 4x5 1/4 next I took another piece of DSP and cut a frame using 2 different sizes of the Rectangle Stitched Framelits. I cut out several hearts using the Heart Punch Pack. On one of the red hearts, I stamped the dotted outline from the Heartfelt Stamp set in Real Red, the punches it out nd 2 of the hearts are punched out right from the DSP! So easy! The Happy Valentines Day greeting is from the Meant to Be stamp set, which is in the current annual catalog!
This card was so simple to make and so quick that I was Able to
create multiples fast.

Have you tried the Copper Dotted Treat bags?? They are such pretty bags! I don’t know why I waited to use them! Similar to the card, I punched out a bunch of different hearts from the DSP and cardstock and I used the same greeting! I added a little Valentine Cheez-it snack that I found at Target. They are mini bags but so cute!!! Depending on who I give the bags to I might fill with candy or cookies too!! These bags are a great size at 4 3/4x 6 1/2 and are food safe!! I used a retired twine to make the bow and I came across these mini clothes pins I had on hand! I either purchased these at Walmart or A.C. Moore.
What do you think?
Really cute and easy to make right??

This month’s theme is All About Love! And what better products to use? The brand new Painted with Love by Stampin Up!

As I was designing my cards, I made each slightly different, using the same products! The Painted with Love Specialty DSP is gorgeous in person I don’t think picture do it justice!!! I used Rich Razzleberry and Powder Pink inks and cardstock.
The cardbase is Powder Pink. I used the Lots to Love Box Framelits and Sure Do Love You stamp set. I chose 2 different patterns of the DSP for my layers and a 3rd for the larger heart, cut out with the Sweet  & Sassy Framelits..
I added the Love Mini Tinsel Trim in a pretty bow at the top of each card! I think I’m more partial to the card on the left but I love both. This set is so much fun to use!

For my project, I used the Lots to Love Box Famelits. I created 2 boxes and decorated the front! I wasn’t sure what to put in them. At first I thought candy, but then decided to make some notecards!

The notecards are simple and super easy to make! 4 5/8 x 5 1/2 and on the 5 1/2 side score at 2 3/4. Walla! I kept them simple and not over-decorated as I wanted the box to be the focal point! I stamped the "candy" heart images in Rich Razzleberry, Powder Pink and Calypso Coral. Then I chose the DSP pattern  and used the Heart dies in the Lots to Love Box framelits to cut them out.  Simple, right! But I think the cards have a big look!

As I was prepping the decoration for the box, I couldn’t decide if I wanted the ribbon or not so I made one with and one without!
I used Powder Pink, Calypso Coral and Rich Razzleberry for ink colors. The heart with the vine image does not have a matching framelits so I fussy cut it out. I also stamped the leaves to the inside of the heart to save paper, the cut outs won’t be seen as the Calypso Coral heart sticks over it!
What do you think??!

I hope you like my projects for this Blog Hop.
Be sure to leave a comment, as I will drawing my own Blog Candy for this Hop! Then click on Katja Ettig name at the #3 on the list to follow along!

So the card I made is CASEd from the new Stampin Up Occasions catalog on page 14. I changed a few things, but it is pretty close. I used the Sealed with Love stamp set and Love Notes Framelits. Don't you just love the Heart cutouts on the edge?? I do not send out many Valentine Cards so I kept it pretty simple. We also will make this card at an upcoming Card Club. 

My project using the new Window Box Thinlits Die and Window Shopping Stamp set, along with the Oh So Succulent Stamp set and Succulent Framelits dies. All these iitems are available in the new Stampin Up Occasions Catalog.
Stampin Up has a great video on YouTube showing how to assemble and use the piece of the Window Shopping Framelits. I found it best to watch the video before assembling. It really helps!

I cut 2 pieces of the Window box and then cutout the details. Once I assembled the box I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. I added Hershey kisses to it and the little tag that comes with the framelits and the stamp is from the Window shopping set. 

I saw on Pinterest a few of the boxes as tealight holders and I wanted to see how that would look on my own. It's beautiful. So I then cut out 2 of each size shape from the Succulent Framelits in Blushing Bride, stamp the tips on both sides, use your bone folder to add a curve to the petals and layer. It's really easy. I then added Wink of Stella to the tips of the flowers, as well as, the cutouts on the boxes, it looks so pretty when the candle reflects on the glitter. It's really hard to see in the pictures. But I asure you, it's lovely!

I hope you enjoyed my card and project. Be sure to leave a comment for my Blog Candy. And click the Next Button to visit Lynn Streifert's Blog and continue with the Blog Hop

This past week's card club was all about Love. We made 4 Valentine cards that were inspired by cards I saw on Pinterest. I love the Real Red and Crumb Cake combo. So pretty. And super easy to make with the Timeless Textures stamp set used in the background and the DSP punched out with the Sweetheart punch.
And how about the new Bloomin' Heart Thinlits die. The detail in the Heart is simply stunning. And event though I used the heart for Valentine, it really can be used for so much more!
Remember to check out my website for a calendar of events. So you can attend card club and make amazing cards just like these.
Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Stamping

This month's Blog Hop theme is Lots of Love. I knew exactly what products I wanted to use for the blog. NEW! Of Course! NEW items from Stampin Up's Occasions catalog!! I will be showing you 2 projects and 1 card for the blog hop. It may seem like alot of products were used. But it really isn't. I used the same colors, DSP and stamp set throughout the projects and cards. So if you do not have alot on hand, this is great, because we are just using same products,in different way.  What I decided to make is SUPER easy projects that I can make multiples, in a breeze. As a busy mom of 3, I need to accomplish the most, in what appears to be a very short amount of time. I'm all about coordination!!!!

So here we go....I hope you enjoy what I've prepared for you! I look forward to hearing your feedback!!!

• Layer the DSP onto the Cardstock and assemble the envelope leaving one side unsealed. I used Fast fuse to make the envelope. As I was gluing the envelope, I realized maybe the bottom piece should have been on the outside since it's a little package, but I don't really think it makes a difference.
  
• Cut a piece of Pink Pirouette Seam Binding Ribbon, long enough to wrap around the envelope. Match the seam up on the front, it will be covered up by the stamped image.
• Stamp, using the Going Global stamp set, the same image twice. Once in Real Red and once in Blushing Bride. Punch out the Real Red image with a 2" circle punch. Cut the LOVE part out of the Blushing Bride image and adhere on top of the Real Red with a Dimensional.
• Punch out a 2 3/8" scallop circle in Real Red. And a 2 1/2" circle in the new Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper.
• Add the stamped image to the Real Red scallop circle with Snail. Then attach onto the glimmer circle with Dimensionals.
• Adhere onto the envelope with Dimensionals.

This project was really easy and uses a small amount of paper. The stamping/punches and glimmer could be scraps on hand! But whats better, is the project can be easily duplicated, if you needed to make a lot, it will take no time!!! The envelopes are not very deep, so this treat package would be perfect for a regular Hershey bar or another thin candy bar, a gift card, perhaps a note, as well. You could also add a couple pencils or pens for a school gift. I am debating whether or not to make for my elementary school kids Valentine Swaps...hmmm there's plenty of time to decide...Right??

You can see in the second picture below, that once you fold the sides in, there are these little corners that stick out into the middle of the box. That is because the box will open flat. No worries. Just take a few glue dots and stick them to the sides. Wala, they are out of the way. You can fill the box with little treats...maybe a special piece of jewelry!!

• Stamp the globe twice, from Going Global, in Blushing Bride. Punch out with a 2" circle punch. (Put one aside for the card)
• Stamp the Love image, from Going Global, in Read Red. Cut the Love banner out.
• Cut a strip of the DSP about a 1/2" to about 3" and flag the ends. Adhere to the globe with Snail. Adhere the Love banner onto the DSP with Dimensionals
  
• Cut a 2 3/8" Scallop Circle using the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper. Attache the globe with Dimensionals.
• Add 3 Blushing Bride sequins using the Fine Tip glue pen.
• Lastly, wrap a piece of Pink Piourette Seam Binding Ribbon around the box and use glue dots to hold it down. Attach the embellishment onto the box with Dimensionals. Make sure to fill the box before attaching everything.

• Cut a strip of DSP 4 3/4 x 1 and attach to the top of the embossed cardstock with Snail. I used the same pattern I've been using throughout the projects.
• Tie a piece of Pink Piourette Seam Binding Ribbon around the layer. Attach to the cardbase with Dimensionals.
• Cut a 2 1/2" circle in the Blushing Bridge Glimmer Paper.
• Take the stamped global and attach to the glimmer circle with Dimensionals. (If you followed along, you stamped this when making the box, if not, stamp the globe in Blushing Bride and punch out with a 2" Circle Punch).
• Cut out a circle in Real Red with the 1 1/2" circle punch.
• Stamp "You mean the world to me" in Real Red. Use a piece of Whisper White scraps. Punch out using a 1 3/8" Circle Punch. Attach to the Real Red circle with Snail.
• Cut a 1/2 x 3 1/2" strip of DSP, again I used the reverse side of the patterns I've used in the projects. Flag the ends. Adhere to the bottom of the globe using Snail.
• Attach the "You mean the world to me" with Dimensionals onto the globe. Then adhere it all to the cardbase with Dimensionals.
  
• Add 3 Blushing Bride sequins to the card and 3 rhinestones onto the stamped "you mean the world to me".
