  • Scrap piece of Basic White for stamping and die cutting.


Instructions:

Adhere your Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper to the bottom of your Blushing

Bride card base using Stampin’ Seal, ensuring you leave a 1/8” border on three sides.

Using one of the heart stamps, stamp a heart in the centre of the circle die cut

using Blushing Bride Ink, first stamping onto a scrap piece of paper and then onto the circle. This will create a light image. Then, do the same with stamping parts of the heart around the sides of the circle.

Using Real Red Ink, stamp the ‘UR CUTE’ sentiment overtop the centre heart.

In the bottom right-hand corner of the scalloped rectangle, stamp the sentiment using Real Red Ink. Stamp the sentiment using the Masking Technique, which is when you place a piece of masking tape over the parts of the stamp you don’t wish to use. Just remember to remove the tape before you stamp!

Wrap a piece of Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon around the centre of the scalloped circle and adhere by tying a bow on the left hand side. Then, adhere the rectangle to your card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Adhere your circle sentiment piece beside the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Embellish with 5 Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish off the card.

Valentine's Fun!!!

Before February was over I thought I'd share a bit of our Valentine's fun here.  My youngest grand-daughter just turned 7 and she had to decorate her box and make her Valentine's - so she hit Grandma's stash.  Here she is with her box covered with doilies and butterflies!
She and her Mom did it together as well as made all of her valentines and attached ring pops!
Here they are close-up!
Then for school we pulled out my Paper Pumpkin kit and added some little cupid's arrows to her hair -
And to Big sister Paisley's hair too.  It must have been early morning - because Paisley looks tired - but I thought the hair was super cute!
Now - we can proceed to March - lol!!  See you all soon! ~Maureen

Sunday morning (or afternoon) musings....

So - you've all heard of a coffee break (needed multiple times each day) - well this week I had a coffee pot break.  We had out of state company and I was brewing a pot of coffee for an afternoon break when we smelled this horrible hot wiring smell.  You know the one - it is awful - and after checking everywhere we narrowed it down to my coffee pot :(  So out it in the trash it went!
Fortunately I still had a back-up French Press - so out it came.  We ordered a new Melitta coffee maker yesterday - but it won't be here till Friday - so till then French Press it is.  I love the taste - it's just a little more work and for the amount of coffee I drink each day that equals a lot more work.  So this  afternoon I'm enjoying my coffee from this pretty mug that Heidi designed for me. She made it with Sharpie markers and my favorite color, yellow.
Yesterday I was so excited as my Orchid blossomed.  I actually thought I had killed it when all the blossoms dropped and it was just a stick.  But a little over a week ago buds began to appear - and yesterday I woke to this!
Here's a close-up - I think it is sooooo beautiful!
Finally for today, I don't think I ever shared the cute little Valentine I sent off to my mother-in-law.  It was made using the January Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up!  I love how it turned out -
and little miss Zamarah used the rest of my kit to make her Valentine's for her classmates.
Hope your weekend has been wonderful - enjoy the rest of your Sunday - and I'll see you soon! ~Maureen

Sunday Morning Musings - and LOVE on this Valentine's Day!

Started the day out great with a cup of rich French Roast (love) in my beautiful Valentine's mug (love).  Also exchanged some sweet little somethings with those I love (love). Do you get the theme here.  Then off to church - and it was very nice (love).

So just have to share with you today, that I Corinthians 13:6 - really says it all when it comes to what LOVE really is.  So for those you care for - I mean truly care for - you need to bear and endure all that comes with that - while always hoping and always believing in them - for that is TRUE LOVE.
Hope your Valentine's day is wonderful in every way.  If you don't have a Valentine - how about getting out there and doing a RAK for someone - show the love in some way to a stranger - you just never know what your kindness might do for them!  Love you all!   ~Maureen

Lovin' the LOVE

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and I was blessed to have my daughter's family swing by with this beautiful plant (love tulips) and card.  Really made my day.  But what I wanted to share was this adorable card.  

And when you unfold the card above - it becomes this beautiful heart - Heidi - you are so creative!! 
Hope your day was special too.  Don't forget to check out the Paper Pumpkin special listed below.  See you soon ~Maureen

Sweet Treat Holder

So how cute is this???  It is the sweetest little treat holder using our little french fry box.  Real Red is definitely the color of LOVE!  Added some cute little banners and a medallion using the Stacked with Love DSP.  It is quick and easy and you can make up a bunch in no time at all.

But did you see the kisses - I punched 3/4" circles from the DSP and attached the circles with glue dots to the bottom of the kisses.  It is such a cute little finishing touch.  Hope you are inspired to make some special treat holders for your friends and family. ~Maureen
Here's what I used to make this -

Club Fun!

Wanted to share the cute little treat bags we made at this month's Technique Club - this was our 3D project, so it didn't use our technique.  I'll be sharing those items soon - but for today - on to the CANDY!


We made these adorable little treat bags with the new products from the Occasions Catalog - treat bag framelits, LOVE DSP stack, and the amazing little bow punch.  And in case you cannot see what is inside - yummy Red Vines!


After we were done with club I stayed up and did some stamping.  I had all the items for this card sitting right there - so thought - why not.  Cute huh!?!
See you soon - stop back to see more fun stamping ideas.  And feel free to leave comments - they make my day!!  ~Maureen

Here are the new products I used -
