So Many Hearts
Here is another cute card for Valentine's Day or any occasion you want to share your love. The DSP behind the hearts is retired as this was going to be a test card. It turned out cute enough to be "real" and easy to create, too: place a few heart framelits on Whisper White cardstock, run it thru the Big Shot and then add a stamp or two. I wish I would have stamped the sentiment in black, but too late now! The little stamped hearts are from the SAB set, You Brighten My Day, and the sentiment from And Many More (Annual catalog). The white layer is adhered using dimensionals. And the inside is as cute as the outside of the card, but I did not take a picture of the inside before I left for sunny Florida! I used the heart strip framelit (the Mini Treat Bag framelit set) to create a border at the top of the card liner and an itty bitty strip of the DSP at the very bottom~~cute! cute! cute! Have a great day!

Hearts, Hugs & Kisses
Lately, I have seen a few versions of today's card on various websites. I thought it was very cute so last night I got to work on my version. The lines and the hearts for the tic tac toe are from the Work of Art stamp set. I used Crumb Cake and Melon Mambo cardstock and ink. At first I was just going to use the hearts, but I added the "hugs" and "kisses" (from a retired set) to fill in the grid a little more. I added the retired Melon Mambo ribbon and wrapped a linen thread around it. This was created in time for Valentine's Day, but it would be a great anniversary card or just a love you card for no special reason at all!

Just Because Butterfly
The only butterflies we will be seeing for quite some time are the butterflies on this card!! As I type, it is -2degrees with a wind chill of -23! To create today's card I used the medium butterfly thinlet included in the new Butterflies Thinlets Dies (Occasions Mini). After deciding where I wanted the butterfly on the Calypso Coral cardstock, I ran it thru the Big Shot (placing a piece of wax paper between the thinlet and the cardstock). I adhered the Coral onto a white card base and after getting rid of all the little schnitzels of the butterfly, I placed the pretty diecut just where it was cut on the cardstock. I only glued the center of the butterfly to the card. Since everything is white, "just because" had to be white, too. So out came the Versamark, white embossing power and heat gun. The smaller butterflies were in my saved case of little extras from the Beautiful Wings embosslit. Then I had the not so brilliant idea to add white antenna to the butterfly using a gel pen~~won't be doing that again! Have a great day and keep warm!

Treat Bag Card
What a cold, white morning we have here! My outside surroundings are beautiful and I am very happy that I can stay home this morning. Today is the start of Sale-a-bration and the Occasions Mini is now live, too. So, today's post was made using the Big Day stamp set, an SAB choice, and the mini treat bag from the Occasions Mini. This time the treat bag is also a birthday card. It fits in our standard card envelope and can hold not only a pullout note but also a gift card. I stamped the image which is on the front of the mini treat bag twice in two different colors and then cut the "celebrate" from the Tempting Turquoise tag and adhered it over the Rich Razzleberry one using dimensionals. The striped paper is from the Sweet Taffy collection in the annual catalog. The words stamped on the insert of this card are also from the Big Day stamp set. Such fun products in these newly released catties. Have a great day!
