Stampin' Up! Valentine Hearts A Flutter
and More Amore DSP

Many of the Valentines I've made have been created with the Stampin' Up! Hearts A Flutter Bundle...includes stamp set and framelits... (wood-131098, clear-131097) and More Amore Specialty Designer Paper (129309).

Love the color combo of Real Red, Pool Party, and Primrose Petals!  Both of these collections can be found in the wonderful Spring Catalog from Stampin' Up! 

Also included are some of the delicate and vintage-inspired pretties from the Artisan Embellishments Kit (129328).  This kit is a DREAM! Just a little taste of this and that to make a paper crafting creation extra special and awesome!

inklings:

• The lacy Real Red heart was cut from a sheet of laser cut hearts in the More Amore DSP collection.
• From the Artisan Embellishments Kits:  The beautiful dusty rose lace along the left side and the beautiful clear button which reminds me of a vintage drawer pull!
• Sentiment was omitted until I decide who will receive this card!
• The cards front is a designer paper sheet cut at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 to cover the entire front of the card base.

Have you finished your cards for Valentine's Day?  I have a few more to make!

Now. something just to share...

How about this little wintery tree to display some of your tiny paper crafting creations?

Saw this little tree this morning in a darling boutique!  I can just see tiny creations haning from the little branches, can't you?

Time to get busy making some more Valentines! 
I'll turn to the Stampin' Up! Hearts a Flutter bundle and the Artisan Embellishments Kit once again!

Stampin' Up! Scrapbooking

My Stampin' Up! customers, Facebook fans, and blog readers often send in questions regarding specific stamping techniques or Stampin' Up! products.

Recently I received this question regarding Stampin' Up! adhesives.  The following is the actual question and my response:

Question:
Do you offer a specific glue to be used on scrapbooking pages?

Answer:

• Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue 110755...This is a liquid glue that dries clear. If you adhere your photo or element to your page while the glue is still wet; the bond is permanent. If you let the glue dry before positioning or placing on your page; it will be removable. *Must use a light hand when applying. Best to apply in small dots on the back of your piece.
• SNAIL Adhesive 104332 and Refill 104331- Double sided, tape runner adhesive. Permanent bond.  I have found that it's best to burnish your piece after adhering to get a good bond. 
• Something else I recommend for buttons and other embellishments are Mini Glue Dots 103683.  Acid free.
• For heavier embellishments, I recommend Sticky Strip 104294.  Acid Free.
• An Adhesive Remover 103684 is good to have on hand to remove unwanted areas of adhesive... Tombow Glue (after drying) and SNAIL.

I hope this Stampin' Up! Q & A information is helpful to you for choosing your adhesives for paper crafting and scrapbooking!

Stampin' Up! Trust God Card for a Friend

Send A Card To A Friend Day

When I saw this DIY wedding idea on Pinterest, I knew immediately that our Perfectly Preserved (wood-126690, clear-126692) stamp set and coordinating Cannery Framelits (127822) would be spot on to create something similar for a country or nature inspired wedding reception.

Can't you just imagine jars filled with field flowers along side table markers made from this perfectly preserved combo?

DIY Wedding Idea Table Markers

Now, I didn't have fresh field flowers ;), but you get the idea!
I really love how canning jars have been in the trending scene lately. There's just something about that heart of the home goodness.  And, by gosh, didn't Stampin' Up! design the cutest stamps and framelits to fit with this theme!  Love it!

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Preserved
and Cannery Framelits
