Be Mine!

 
 
Real Red and Whisper White is the perfect Valentine's Day color combination, but those fun little candy hearts are the thing that reminds me most of Valentine's Day.  These candy hearts are not for eating, they are glimmer stickers that make a perfect accent to this Valentine's Day card.  What reminds you most of Valentine's Day?

Just the Two of Us

 
 
For this sweet card I used basic black and whisper white along with basic black 1/4 inch ribbon.  I embossed the basic black with the Spring Flowers Textured Folder and the sentiment is stamped in memento tuxedo black on whisper white and punched out with the 1 inch square and layered on the artisan label punch over the apothecary accent framelits,  the roses are from the artisan embellishment kit also from Stampin' Up!

Your Perfect Day! Pals January Blog Hop

Welcome to the first Pals Blog Hop of 2015. We hope your new year is off to a great creative start.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Pamela Sadller at Stampin Pink Rose. Use the full lineup below to move along from blog to blog so you see all of the new projects.


This color trio is Wisteria Wonder, Sahara Sand and Old Olive and was made with the stamp set called "Your Perfect Day" along with Sahara Sand Lace Trim, Flower Medallion Punch, and the Something Borrowed Design Series Paper.  I also ran the ds paper through the Big Shot with the Fancy Fan Folder for that extra texture.
