The following card was created for the Use It Tuesday Challenge #25. The following items were things in my stash that I had not yet opened or used: The cloud die-namics, the ribbon, and the sentiment stamp from MFT. The polka dots are from the new Tim Holtz Mixed Media stamp set.


The inspiration for this card can be found in the August 2011 issue of Cards magazine. The inspiration card was created by Wendy Sue Anderson. Her blog can be found at www.wendysueanderson.blogspot.com

SP & Company SWS Challenge #7 - Love Theme

This week's challenge over at the SP Stamps Blog is to use your SP Stamps to create a scrapbook layout, card, or 3D project with a "LOVE" theme. The card I created below was for my husband on our first Valentine's Day as a married couple.



I used the Swirly Doo Valentine Stamp Set from SP& Company and really liked how the stamp on the inside of the card mimicked the strip of patterned paper on the front of this card.


The small circle embellishment was included in the paper pad as a punch out. I embellished the center with rhinestones and popped it up with pop dots to give it some dimension. 




Stamps: Swirly Doo Valentine's (SP & Company)
Paper: Shaken Not Stirred 6x6 paper pad (Kaisercraft)
Ink: Memento
Rhinestones: Recollections

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club (MFTWSC58)

With Valentine's Day just a few days away, I am drawn to all the pink and red goodness in the Martha Stewart Valentine's Mat Stack. They were perfect for the card I created for this weeks MFT Wednesday Stamp Club #58 Challenge (MFTWSC58).  







Did I mention I love these papers? I had to make a second card.
