A cute little hearts and owl Valentine treat

   Just a quick post with a picture of the cute owl and heart box's I made for my daughters 5th grade Sunday school class she teaches. I printed the paper on card stock from Paper Whimmsies . I die cut them with an accucut die and then printed and cut out the owls and glued them on some red hearts I had die cut,a little bakers twine and they were done fast and easy.
    I hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day.

Wishing you Happiness card

This is a card I did to show off the background stamp( JustRite background stamp Elegant fronds). I stamped the card with Angel pink momento ink and then edged it with brown ink and a sponge. I stamped the word  stamp ( Botanical Medallion and banners ) and the back ground stamp on a scrap of pink paper. I die cut a heart from the background stamp and then die cut the words and I also stamped the saying Wishing you... on pink paper with the brown in and I edged all of them with brown ink and a sponge. I layer things on the side of the card using foam tape to add dimension to the hearts.I wrapped a sheer ribbon around the card with a small bow on the right side.
  I made this card for JustRites background challenge and Stamp T.V.'s Valentine challenge.
  Be sure to pop over and see the other fun and fancy cards the other designers  have made.

Bear hugs Valentine treat

I just sent off the Valentine treats I did for my daughters little gymnasts she teaches. I used a fun die from Accucut that looks like a small paper bag.( Bag Sleeve) I cut it from some fun pink paper and then used a embossing folder with x's and o's for a fun dimensional background. I cut some strips of printed paper  and some brown for a mat.I attached it to the card/bag in the middle. I then die cut the circles using a Spellbinders die. ( use wax paper to help the small openings come out easier) I stamped the bear and the words Bear Hugs and the tiny hearts on the circle around the edges.I used Raisin Boat stamp set # 10200 Tree's Company) I then stamped the bear on tiny printed paper and cut them out.( I do this when I am watching T.V.) I did color the inside of the ears with a pink and used a glue pen to put some brown flocking on their noses.Now I attached the circles on the side of the card/bag and then I used foam tape to attach the bear on top of where I stamped it on the circle.
  I put in a valentine pencil and some pixy stixs as well as a Fun Dip. That should be enough sugar to make them fun to have around, don't you think.
   Well I have a few more Valentine treats almost done to share with you but that is it for tonight.
   I hope you stay warm and safe with this crazy winter weather we are having in the mid west.
Take care and thanks for stopping.

Quick and easy treat toppers for Valentines Day

   
I used a variety of Spellbinders dies that were rectangle in shape and then cut ones to fit my bags. I cut some from fun printed paper and a plain one which I ran through a embossing folder. I stamped some fun goodies from Raisin Boats stamp set Tea Time Treats I stamped things with red ink for a fun look. I stamped the little cup cakes with grey and then colored them with Copic markers and cut them out. I die cut some fun red mats for behind them from various Spellbinders dies.I then added some goodies to my bags and attached them to the bag toppers. Very fast and fun. A great project to make with kids or to give to kids.
   Why not play with your spellbinders dies and see what you can come up with for a bag topper!

Glitter,glitter, glitter everywhere!

 Glitter challenge over at Moxie Fab I had to jump in and play.
   I played with a set from Raisin Boat stamps Playing Cupid I stamped the flower heart and flowers with pearl red embossing powder.When embossed I used a nifty glue pen by Quickie Glue a Sakura product. It has a roller tip just like a gel pen. I was able to get into the small petals of the flowers.I then sprinkled glitter all over the heart and flowers and taped off the extra. It worked like a charm!
 I hope you like it and take some time to play today!
