Perfect Mix

 The Sending Love DSP #142733 from Stampin Up was the perfect choice for this fun birthday card.  I did not get around to using the Sending Love DSP for Valentines so I decided since it was on the Stampin Up Retirement List , I decided to pair it  with the Perfect Mix #142399 stamp set to create a birthday card or get a jump start on my 2018 Valentines!

Bee Mine

Happy Valentine’s Day! I used up some old Black and White DSP for the background.  For the main panel I randomly stamped the bee and heart images from the Stampin Up Pun Intended #141804 stamp set.  I colored the bees with a Stampin Write marker and added Clear Wink of Stellac#141897 to the wings.  I punched a Sweet heart and added some Black Metallic Thread #141695 behind the heart and then the sentiment from the Pun Intended stamp set.

Turn on the love

Today’s post is another one of Cammie’s Valentine designs.  She started off by texturing the background with the Falling Petals #142761 Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin Up.  If you look closely it really looks like falling hearts which makes it perfect for Valentines day! For the main panel, Cammie sponged  circular rays of light in a rainbow of colors and then added the stamped image from the Pun Intended #141804 stampset.

Expression of Love

For some of my Valentines I used the Stampin Up Playful Palette DSP to cut the large square and the heart.  I paired that with the Painter’s Palette #141907 stampset to distress the background, for the sentiment and the cute thumbtack. Below is another version of the valentine using the same supplies.  I just switched up the design.

Lava You

Today’s post is a wild, crazy and quite groovy retro post that Cammie came up with for Valentine’s Day. She started out by texturing the real red cardstock with the new Falling Petals Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #142761.  She used the Tie Dyed # 143008 stampset to create her own DSP and then cut out the border using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits #141497 and punched out the lava lamp using a variety of punches.  Cammie got real creative with the sentiment by combining the love and congrats from the Sunshine Wishes #141489 to make her lava word.

2 ways to Light Up My Life

Today’s post is one of my Valentine cards done 2 ways and my attempt at making a punny Valentine!  Both cards feature the Stampin Up Hostess Reward set called Pun Intended #141804.

Unique Valentine

Today’s posting is same layout done 2 ways and uses a lot of retired Stampin Up products. The background is textured with the all new Falling Petals Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #142761 from the Stampin Up Occasions catalog. The falling petals look like hearts so that is why Cammie decided to use it for her Valentine.  The DSP is very old stampin Up DSP that Cammie stamped directly onto.  The bird is from the retired Season of Friendship and the foliage on the left is from the In the Meadow #140751 stamp set and the foliage on the right is from the retired An Open Heart stamp set.  Cammie added 2 red glimmer punched hearts.  Although this card was intended for a Valentine, I think it could be used as an all occasion or even a sympathy card.
