If you viewed my Facebook Live last Thursday evening, you'll know that this was the Valentine card project that was featuring the Meant to Be bundle from the Occasions Catalog. (Leave a comment below and I'll conduct a random drawing for someone to receive this card!)
While this card is a bit frilly and fun, be sure to check out this card with more of a masculine feel made with the same bundle!
Need an easy Valentine treat? Here's one made with half of one of our pillow boxes.
Cut designer paper for background at 4" x 5 1/4" and 3/4" x 4" for inside of card.

Whisper White for inside of card: 5 1/4" x 4".
For treat box:
Cut pillow box in half by lining up curved end at 3" mark.

Today's project is a masculine themed Valentine using the Meant to Be bundle from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.
By just switching up your color palette and designer paper, you stretch the use of this sweet bundle and see just how versatile it is. You could also change the sentiment on the inside and you would have a great anniversary card.
Here's a video tutorial with the how-to process for this masculine themed Valentine...
The card base is cut 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2".
Wood Textures Designer Series Paper is cut 4" x 5 1/4".
Crumb Cake card stock is cut 3 3/4" x 5" and run through the Big Shot with the embossing folder.
Stamp the Hardwood stamp in Early Espresso ink on Crumb Cake then cut the small hearts from this stamped piece.

Let's start off the week with a stinkin' sweet Valentine card using product from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog!
This sweet little skunk is from the set called Hey Love which features some fun lovable animals that you can color or use as straight line art stamping. Look at these sweet gorilla treats created by the Stampin' Up! concept artists!
Here are all of the images included in this set...
Aren't those some fun images? You can color with Stampin' Blends, Watercolor Pencils, or Blender Pens with our ink pads, or with Aqua Painters on Watercolor Paper.
I'm often asked the how-to for tying a simple knot with ribbon for cardmaking. Several years ago, I recorded this video. This tying trick still works like a charm so I thought it worth sharing again!
Hope that helps!

As we begin the new month, I'd like to share a little about the Stampin' Up! opportunity with you. Ever thought about starting your own business?
Beginning January 3 and ending March 31, 2019, there is a special for signing up. Two options:
1. $99 Starter Kit: Instead of the usual $125 that you are allowed to "fill" your kit, add an additional $50 to get $175 of your choice for your kit. 2. $129 Starter Kit: Get $175 worth of product of your choosing along with the Craft and Carry Tote ($50 value) as seen in the video.
Frequently Asked Questions: How much does it cost to join Stampin' Up!? The Starter Kit is $99 plus your applicable sales tax... shipping is free. (During Sale-A-Bration 2019, there is a $129 kit option as stated in the video.)
How much do you get in the Starter Kit? Included in the Starter Kit are Stampin' Up! products of your choosing totaling up to $125. (During Sale-A-Bration 2019, you get to choose an additional $50 pushing that total up to $175!) The kit also includes a business supply pack with order forms, catalogs, etc. How much do you have to sell to be a demonstrator? Good question! Minimum sales requirement is $300 a quarter. The $300 includes what you purchase for yourself plus what others purchase from you. Think about it this way...if you have two parties/workshops at $150 in sales every three months (a quarter), you'll meet your minimum requirement in sales.
What if I don't make the $300 in sales? If you are under your $300 at the end of the quarter, you'll go into Pending Status for one month. During the month, you'll have the opportunity to make up the difference for what you lacked in the $300 total for the previous quarter. ...So say you made $250 in sales for the quarter- you'll need to have at least $50 in sales during the first month of the next quarter. If you exceed that $50 in that first month, it will go toward the $300 for that quarter. What if I am unable to make up sales needed while in Pending Status that first month? Then at the month's end, you will no longer have demonstrator status. That's all that happens. You do not have return Starter Kit, Stampin' Up! does not call, there is no hassle. Period.
What if I'm a beginning stamper and don't know everything about stamping and paper crafting? No one knows EVERYTHING and we all start somewhere! I had been stamping for a few weeks when I signed up. True story.
These are just a few of the questions I receive but are all EXCELLENT questions and I love answering them. So, if you have been thinking about joining Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator...ask away? I will be happy to discuss it with you. And, if you've read this far, I KNOW you've thought about it and I would love to mentor you gently as you make your demonstrator-ship what YOU want it to be!
Please let me know if you'd like to discuss the Stampin' Up! business opportunity or if you have questions! Lisa Brown lisa@inkandinspirations.com 409-719-2853
How about a simple pocket page to get your 2018 Christmas Memory Keeping started? Whether you use the pocket page system, traditional scrapbooking, or a little of both, this idea will show you how quick and easy it can be to get your pages ready for your photos. The 4" x 6" pockets will hold photos but I inserted the cut designer paper for photographing the page.
Let's take a look at today's video...
Here are the supplies used for this photo pocket page. The designer paper and stamp set are part of the Year End Closeout and only available while supplies last or until January 2, 2019.
Save on a selection of Stampin' Up! retiring and surplus items—while supplies last. Be sure to place your order sooner rather than later, because supplies are limited and the Year-End Closeout ends on January 2. See the items that are still available HERE.

My niece wanted to make her Mom's Christmas gift so my husband suggested a set of handmade cards. She did an excellent job using my supplies and coming up with ideas.
A set of handmade cards always makes a nice gift!
My sister loved the cards! One was a set of 5 and another set of 6 that tucked neatly into 2 of our Acetate Boxes.
A set of handmade cards makes a beautiful and heartfelt gift. I was so proud of my niece's work and I wanted to share it with you!
There are some beautiful new papers that will be available in the new Occasions Catalog in January and I am happy to announce that we are once again offering a paper share. (The "we" includes my sweet hubs because he helps me cut all that paper!)
