With All My Heart

Is this card full of hearts of what? I used Stampin' Up! White Craft Ink to ink up the Victorian looking heart from the I {Heart} Hearts stamp collection. I love the white on red. The little decorative heart border on the bottom was punched out using the newly designed punches from Stampin' Up! called Pinking Hearts Border. Isn't it adorable?

Are you ready for Valentines Day next Sunday? Today I finished up my Valentines and treats to send my sister and nephews. It's all packaged up and ready to mail tomorrow. This week I need to work on the most important Valentine - the one for my hubby!

I did learn a really good tip from my Stampin' Up! upline this past week about the new clear stamps from Stampin Up. I've experienced trouble with the stamp sticking to the block. She told me to hold the stamp on the block for a full 3 seconds. I tried it out and ever since I've had no trouble. The 3 second rule also works to get them to cling inside the case they come in too. I'm so glad I learned this trick and I hope this helps you out as well!

I'm off to a Super Bowl party! Happy stamping!

Leaf Lines

I can tell you that no matter how many times I look through the Stampin' Up! catalog, I always find something new! One of my customers recently ordered the stamp set Leaf Lines. I swear I've never set my eyes on it or heard of it. I looked it up in the catalog, just out of curiosity, and there it was on page 111. Somehow this bypassed my wish list and I have no idea how? I love leaves! When I see a leaf set, it's usually a must have. Too funny! Needless to say, I bought it. It's one of those year-round sets. There is a leaf for every season.

The card pictured above is all colored in with chalk. The leaves, edges of the card stock, and the embossed leaves were all lightly dusted over with Stampin' Pastels (chalk). I love the soft finish chalk leaves behind. Stampin' Pastels provides you with all 48 Stampin' Up! colors as well as black, gray, and white. This set will last you a long time! I've had mine for years and it appears barely used. It's a great value for just under $25.00. Check it out HERE.

Can you believe we still haven't made it to the pumpkin farm yet? The weather hasn't been good and my husband & son have been fighting colds. Hopefully this weekend we will go. I don't think I ever bought a pumpkin this late. Maybe they'll be on sale! Hee hee.

Enjoy your day and happy stamping!
