This is Valentines Week!
Can you remember when you were little and it was always so darn exciting getting Valentines at school? This was a fun and a happy memory for me….what about you?
I can remember coming home from school and going right to my bedroom and looking to see if they said Love, ???? or if it was just their name….and I always taped them up all around my door!!!
Here is a card that is on it's way to "Ole Miss" to my niece Grace along with some lovin' goodies from her Aunt! She adores pink and I know that this will bring a smile to her face and her tummy will enjoy the goodies.
I must admit that this super cute card did not photograph well but it is soooooo darn cute and I this stamp set is very versatile in my opinion…these fun and whimsical "swirls" are just FUN! The stamp set is called Snuggles and
You know that I love odd size cards and today's card is long and skinny…..3" X 6" and of course the envelope punch board helped me out….again!
The magic of heat embossing did it again! I wanted to use "gold" on the "very vanilla" as my main purpose was to use this FUN trim that was in the Paper Pumpkin – (it is the cutest!!!!)
There is NEVER a time that I do not heat emboss that I feel like a "kid in a candy store"…it is just a magical experience to see the powder turn to a shiny end result…..MAGIC!
There are times that I think that my cards are just kinda boring to blog about and this is just about as simple as it gets! Just a stamp up of Versa mark….Gold Powder….heat Tool….DONE! I love the "little" hearts that are in this stamp set…I am going to use them again later this week in a totally different way!
The FUN Bakers twine is "my kinda bow" We all know that I am "Bow challenged" and this is one that "I can handle" I simply took 3 pieces of the fun Bakers twine that was left over and made a simple bow!
I just think that "gold" in the pink twine is just "divine" and I know that Grace is going to love it! (She just called me while I was typing this post to just say hi).…too ironic!
Thanks for popping by today – I had an outing yesterday….WOOT-WOOT – I went and had my nails done….loved it! I have blogged about the wonderful couple that do my nails….they are the most appreciative, kind, loving and truly genuine people I know. We take many things for granted but I can honestly say, I value them for their hard word and beautiful spirit they have – it was joy to see them!
Remember, shopping in your jammies is super fun...Stampin' Up! is coming out with a super great Photopolymer Stamp Set on Tuesday – it's a keeper in my eyes!
I am an email away.…it's fun and baking day for me as my peeps and college bound friends need some Valentines love….in the mail they go on Monday!
Stampin' hugs….until tomorrow!
LOVE your card! Happy you are getting better and even had an “outing”:)
This card is STUNNING and SO FUN! Love the size too! So happy you got out and about for some girl time. Today is supposed to be beautiful (for Feb.) so hope you and Rosie get to sit outside and enjoy it! Hugs and thanks for all that you do for so many!
Love the combination of gold and pink, this is just such a sweet card, the embossing really takes it up a notch, fun and elegant at the same time. The Baker’s Twine is indeed divine, what a beautiful detail.
I’m so glad you were able to go out Susan, resuming your normal activities will also help you on your way to recovering. I bet it felt great to get your nails done!!
Hi Susan, this is a great card. Love the size, love the gold embossing, love the gold/pink twine. I’ve gotten a lot of card making done. I even CASEd one of your December Stamp Club cards for Valentine’s Day.
🙂
I love your card and envelope….so pretty.
Love the card and trust me your cards are anything but boring!
This card is the cutest card I’ve seen with this stamp set!!!
Susan love your card and they are not just simple I look forward to everyday seeing your creations! Hope you are healing well !!
Cute card. Love the pink and gold together. TFS
Beautiful card…I love the gold embossed swirls. I’m thinking of buying the stamp set just for the swirls! Thanks for sharing.
Such a fun card! I know your niece is going to love it. The gold and pink work well together. I love your card size too and the envelope board is the perfect resource for an envelope. So happy you are doing better!
Love this card, Susan. I’m sure your niece will feel the love when she receives it.
Cute, cute, cute card, Susan! I was on the fence with this stamp set until now. It’s going to have to make it into my cart now 🙂
This card is fabulous! I think the embossed swirls are wonderful. It’s so elegant and delicious like chocolates all wrapped into one 🙂 I remember getting my classroom valentines, too…loved those days!
Now this is cute! I didn’t care for the set and we used it at the card group I go to. The card ended up dumb looking I thought. But, smooches to you – this is something I would have liked to have made! Love your gold on there and that twine is divine!
So glad you had a good outing! You will be up and doing everything in a short while I bet!
Your card is so cute! I had a fun time creating Valentine’s for my nieces and nephews as well!
I love that stamp set! Embossed is really wow! Great card as always. I love all the colors you used also.
Glad you are getting out a bit! I’m also glad you have a knee scooter upstairs and downstairs! I was grateful to be on just one level when I was out with my ankle three years ago!
I love the gold embossing on your card! It is wonderful with the pink! Lots of fun!
Cyberhugs!
Now, that looks like a card an Ole Miss girl will LOVE! I should know… Hoddy Toddy!
Love your blog and hope you will be ‘hopping’ by Easter (or sooner)
