Cookie Cutter... Christmas??

Hello! Sorry for the late post - I was having some difficulty with Blogger. Anyway, here, as promised on Instagram yesterday, is one of four posts you'll see this week featuring my new favourite bundle in the upcoming Holiday Catalogue - I - though, the first card I'm featuring here is not Christmas. Check it out:

I made a boy & girl gingerbread, and used some new Christmas paper from the holiday catalogue, but turned it into a "lovey dovey" or maybe Valentine's card instead. I love taking products further than what their intent is. Cool, right?!

Are you thinking there's a new die set coming out for letters? Wrong! I punched those with the gingerbread... do you see how? The hearts are also from the punch and the stamped heart background is done by using my Happy Heart Textured Impressions Folder... did you know you could do that? Again, multi purpose! ;)

Until next time, stay crafty!

You Send Me Soaring

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you're spending the day with loved ones. I'm readjusting back to the cold temps here in Canada. I just returned from sunny Florida and I think I might be hibernating in my studio for the next week. ;)

Today's card features the ever-popular The Sky is the Limit stamp set from Sale-A-Bration - only available until tomorrow - it's a limited time set (SAB runs until March 31st though!). I paired it with Timeless Textures from the Occasions Catalogue, and the little heart from last month's Paper Pumpkin kit, Cute Conversations.

I started by stamping in Real Red and when I got the look I was after, I stamped the plane in Basic Black. The sentiment was punched using the Decorative Label Punch, but I trimmed off the top and bottom piece so that the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper that I punched with the the same punch would pop through.

On the inside, I simply created the same border as I did on the front.

Until next time, stay crafty!

Today's card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest by Amy Ingram. I used the stamp set from January's Paper Pumpkin - Cute Conversations and paired it with the adorable Balloon Builders stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue.

There are so many possibilities with the Balloon Builders set and I love that there are sentiments too! It had a perfect one for this Valentine's card. I stamped it inside and added a few more hearts and sequins from the trim.

Until next time, stay crafty!
