My Valentines Wreath!!

Here is a fun & quick wreath I made for Valentines!!  

I used the Sending Love Designer Paper Stack & the 'Sealed with Love' Stamp set!

I just punched out LOTS of hearts, using the Sweetheart Punch!

Didn't it turn out super cute!!

stamp set:  'Sealed with Love'
card stock:  Whisper White, Real Red
designer paper:  Sending Love Paper Stack (6x6)
ink:  Real Red
other:  Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Stitched Framelits, 2" Circle Punch, Sending Love Ribbon Combo Pack, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

How did I do that?

• I used a 12" Chipboard Wreath to attach these hearts to.  
• I punched out approx. 85 hearts.  
• The hearts are 4 rows wide.
• I started by putting them on the outside edge, going all the way around the wreath & then finishing up with the inside row of hearts!
• I attached them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

 I hope you like this & can use this idea to make your own Valentines Wreath!

This is one of the projects my girls can make today too!!  

++++++++

Today I'm up bright & early getting everything finished up for my Iowa Inkers Team meeting!  Masen was up bright & early too.  He'll be leaving about 9:30, when my meeting starts.  

I am having several team members & some adoptees, join me for the day stamping at our home!  I can't wait!  I know we'll have a great day together!

Tonight Deke & I are gonna go get groceries & eat a quick bite of supper out. 

ENJOY a SENSATIONAL Saturday!!
Happy Stamping!

Here I used the new Watercolor Pencils & just colors part of the images.

The shadow stamped dots around the edges & the words are from the set- 'Dragonfly Dreams'.

The boys don't have pre-school today, so we'll all spend our day together.  I'm off soon to go pick them up.  

Tonight Deke, me, Nathan, Sarah, Steve & Manda will be attending our annual Southern Iowa Racing Banquet- supper & awards night.  Masen will be coming home with G'ma & Papa afterwards, to spend the night.   

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!

More 'Balloon Adventures'!

Here is a fun card that I made at our Stampin' Up! On Stage event in Wisconsin in November. 

Check out all of the cool Occasions Catalog products we used-

• designer paper- Party Animal
• stamp set- 'Balloon Adventure'
• dangling balloon- Party Animal Embellishment
• ribbon- Emerald Envy 1/8" Taffeta 
• inside pop out- 'Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies

Here is the cute inside pop out too!   Isn't that neat!  I love how this folds & the balloons pop out.  And it is super easy to cut!  You just fold your card in half & there is little arrows on the thinlit that show the center marking, were you line up your fold & run it through the Big Shot!  This 'Balloon Pop-Up thinlit cuts & scores all at the same time!  WOO HOO!

Did you notice the stripes down the inside of the pop up here?  It almost looks like it is washi tape- would work great too!  But these stripes are just strips of the Party Animal DSP!  I loved that idea, adding some more color & pizzazz to the inside of this card!

You can see how I used this Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Die on the outside of my card  that I posted yesterday, by CLICKING HERE!

Tonight when the boys are gone, I'll be spending my night stamping- working on projects for my upcoming team meeting!

I hope you have a great Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!

Tonight when the boys all go home I'll head out to be a farmer & help Deke mark, sort & load hogs to sell.   

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!

Happy Stamping!
