Valentines

I wanted the boys to have handmade invitations, of course, so we came up with these cookie Valentines. I saw similar ones in my Stampin' Success Magazine (Demonstrators only). We used the recipes that come with the Cookie Press, they turned out really good! I did use store bought icing, mine just would not turn out.

The cookie presses from Stampin' Up! are quite easy to use once you figure them out. I found it easier with the heart print if I put flour on the rubber before I stamped each cookie. For those of you who have not yet seen these, the Heart actually has quite a bit of detail under that icing.

I uesd the Paper Doily Sizzlet to create the doily for the cookie to sit on, this was a little time consuming since we made about 40 of them.

We personalized the Valentines on the back side, the boys were tired of writing their names by the end!

To make these Valentines:

Stamps - Teeny Tiny Wishes and Candy Conversations

Ink - Real Red

C/S - Real Red, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White and DSP I got on the clearance rack

Punches - Word Window, Decorative Label and Heart

Dies - Paper Doily Sizzlet

Other - Clear Envelopes, Heat Shaped Cookie Press and sponges

Have a great day!

Valentines Scrapbook Layout

I love the working with the Scented Embossing Powder, it just smells so yummy! It kind of reminds me of the Fun Dip Candy packages, I think that is what they are called. It is hard to see but I spritzed the White with the Blushing Bride Spritzer, I find it a little difficult to spritz it exactly how I want it, this was the first spritz that turned out exactly how I wanted it. I find I end up with too much and it looks more like an accidental splatter.

Material used:

Stamps - Candy Conversation. Wheels - I{Love}Love. Ink - Real Red, VersaMark. C/S - Real Red, Whisper White ans Pink Pirouette. Dies - Fashionable Hearts Embosslit and Scallop Envelope. Punches -I Heart Hearts, Heart, Scallop Border Trim, Small Heart and Modern Label. Ribbon - 1/4" Real Red and Pink Pirouette Grosgrain Ribbon. Accessories - Real Red Glimmer Paper, Silver Brads, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, Blushing Bride Spritzer, Heat Tool and Cherry Scented Embossing Powder.

Have a great day!

Valentine Love Note

I ordered the Scented Embossing Powder and it smells so good while you use it. The Scented powder is clear so it brings out the color of your paper and gives it a nice glossy look. I find myself doing a lot of heat embossing lately.

Materials used:

Stamps - Candy Conversations. Wheels - I{Love}Love. Ink - Real Red and VersaMark. C/S - Real Red, Whisper White and Pink Pirouette. Punches - Scallop Trim Border. Dies - Scallop Envelope. Ribbon - 1 1/4" Real Red and Pink Pirouette Grosgrain. Accessories - Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, Heat Gun and Melon Embossing Powder.

Valentines Day Card

I wanted to try out a card using the New Blushing Bride Smootch Spritzer, I found mine to come out a little more red looking. If you want less of a splatter then make sure you hold your spritzer bottle further from your image. I took one of my Stampin' Up! boxes, placed my image in it and then spritz my projects.

Materials used:

Stamps - Candy Conversations. Ink - Real Red. C/S - Real Red, Whisper White ans Pink Pirouette. Punch - Small Heart. Ribbon - 5/8" Real Red Satin. Dies - Fashionable Hearts Embosslit. Accessories - Blushing Bride Smooch Spritzer.

Have a great day!

Valentine's Page

I wanted to make a Valentine's scrapbook page that featured the new Lots of Love Letter Press plate and the Red Glimmer Paper. I am hoping to see more of the Glimmer paper in different colors in the Summer Mini. I recently bought the crimper so I had to use it somewhere on the page so I crimped the card stock and then punched the hearts.

To make this Page:

Ink - Real Red Craft

Card Stock - Basic Gray, Whisper White and Real Red

DSP - Love Impressions

Punches - Full Heart and Heart

Ribbon - Basic Gray 5/8" Satin Ribbon

Letter Press - Lots of Love

Other - Red Glimmer Paper and Crimper

Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine Robots

Aren't these robots the cutest, I cased them from Shelby Fawver. I am waiting a reply to see if she has a blog for me to link. I made this scrapbook page for my monthly club, they all seemed to like it! I chose a Valentine's theme for mine but it could be used for anything. I am sure I will be making these robots again. I laughed the other day when I was going through my current Catalogue and realized that these robots are copied from the Best Bots Forever stamp set.

To make these robots you need:

Circle Robot - Circles # 2 die (largest circle), Jewelry Tag, Heart to heart, circle form Itty Bitty Shapes and Word Window Punches

Square Robot - I cut a square the size I wanted, Jewelry Tag, circle from Itty Bitty Shapes and Word Window Punches

Half Oval Robot - Frame Oval Scallop (Cut a little more than half way) Jewelry Tac, circle from Itty Bitty Shapes, and Word Window Punches.

I used the Basic Blank and Basic Gray Markers to draw the lines and sponge the edges.

Have a great day!

Sweet Valentine!

I have seen cards similar to this only they all use flowers so I thought I would make a Valentine themed one using hearts. It looks a little plain to me, but when ever I add anything else it doesn't look right so this is how it stays! I used the I {Heart} Heart stamp set for some of my hearts, all the SU Heart Punches and the Modern Label Punch. The Sweet Valentine is from the Something to Celebrate Hostess set in the Occasions Mini.

Have a great day!
